DIY Accent Pocket


Easy and Adorable Accent Pocket

What you'll need:
Shirt w/ existing pockets 
Fabric
Fabric Glue or Hot Glue
Scissors 

  1. Create a template for the pocket using either extra fabric or piece of paper.  
  2. Using the template, cut out two pocket shapes from your fabric of choice
  3. Glue the fabric on top of the existing pocket
**Tip: My existing pocket had a working button already, so I placed the fabric on the glue and snipped a small slit in the fabric over where the button was.  Then I slipped the fabric around the button and readjusted/smoothed it out again.

5 Hacks to Wearing Heels


  1. Tape your toes - using medical tape, tape your third and forth toes together.  It will take the pressure off the ball of your foot.  There is a nerve between the third and forth toe and the tape will minimize any strains.
  2. New shoes? Slipping around?  Use some sand paper and gently rough up the bottoms.  It's kind of like breaking them in when you don't have the chance to beforehand.
  3. Are your shoes a little tight?  Slip on some thick socks and blast your heels with a blow dryer.  Make sure to flex your feet while doing so, it'll help stretch it out.
  4. Prevent getting blisters with clear gel deodorant.  Swipe it across the back of your heel or wherever you tend to get blisters.  The deodorant acts as a barrier protecting your skin from friction.
  5. Just had to wear your heels without any preventative measures and now you have blistered, tired feet?  Soak your feet in green tea.  It will sooth both blisters and soreness.  Green tea contains anti-inflammatory properties.
