lace top + earth day!

i finished the lace top just in time for earth day!  very appropriate, if you ask me, seeing as the lace is from a thrift store!  for the back, i used one of carin's vintage acrylic buttons.  after some polishing, the button became quite shiny!  the left one is an unpolished one, and the right is polished:
here it is, installed just above the zipper.  i like that it's clear and doesn't detract from the busy lace, yet is pretty!
here's the back, zoomed out:
and the front, on my mannequin:
and here i am, wearing my new shirt at school!  this is my 1st garment that is this loose.  i'm so used to my clothes being much more fitted that i stupidly thought this top would require a zipper.  NOPE!  so glad i realized this AFTER i installed one, TWICE, because i'm the idiot who doesn't line up zippers before attaching them.
not gonna lie, i'm a huge fan of this top.  although, not sure what's going on with all those wonky folds in this pic.

in honor of earth day, i baked some leaf and shamrock sugar cookies.  i would have made bunnies, but i figured everyone is tired of seeing my adorbs bunny cookies.
speaking of bunnies, guess who got cute bunny studs this weekend!!!
BUNKS!  jk hahahha!  he's using my lap as a stepladder to get onto the coffeetable.  apparently he reallllly wanted to read my final papers from college.  
happy earth day!  give all your little bunnies a hug and a kiss hehe
