02.22.12- Peter Pan Collars, Tea Cups & Zines

Once upon a time, I despised plain ol' high collared t-shirts (i.e. every band shirt ever). They look so plain and I'm not very comfortable with how tight they can be around the neck. Which will make what I'm about to say make ZERO sense, but my hatred of these t-shirts has ended. I now want five hundred to wear with this super cute DIY detachable collar:

Check out this adorable tea cup I found at the thrift store as well!

I got the idea from Rookie Mag. It's seriously so simple: find a collared shirt at the thrift store for super cheap, then cut off the collar and voila! T-shirts are suddenly super cute.

The collar I chose doesn't have a stiff neck like some collared shirts do, so I had to safety pin it to my t-shirt to keep it in place. But it's a friggin peter pan collar and they are just about my favorite thing ever right now! Oh how I wish I could drop fifty bucks on one of these glittery collar gems by Stella Rose Saint Clair:

In fun non-fashion related news: I completed issue 18 of my zine, Motor City Kitty, the other day!


I am going to make a ton of copies tomorrow to take to the Chicago Zine Fest in two weeks. It's 56 pages- my longest issue to date, besides the split I did with Amber, but she was more than 50% of that- and very text heavy. It's mostly about going on tour with The Ground Is Lava last June, but I also wrote some about Slutwalk Cleveland and my choice to move away from Kent. I'm selling it for $2 in the US, $3 elsewhere. Email me (missteenohio@gmail.com) if you want a copy, since I have yet to set up an Etsy shop.

I haven't been posting as much as I wanted to. I suppose my lack of internet at home would make posting often more difficult. I've scored a lot of good clothes at various thrift stores recently so maybe I'll do a photoshoot (like, with a real camera and not Photo Booth) and show ya what I got. Also, expect my annual CZF recap in mid-March!
