These light colors are perfect for a Friday in the summertime. Light and airy. I just wish I didn’t look so “fluffy” in this outfit. Note to self: Don’t wear clothes that accentuate your lack of waistline. It doesn’t look good. I have gained a few pounds in the last month or so. When we got […]

We went to the mall as a family to go buy the hubby a trousseau for our travels to Vegas. He doesn’t buy new clothes very often (generally every few years), so the little urchins needed some patience while we shopped. We bribed them with DQ if they were good. Ice cream always works so […]
I bought this sleeveless white shirt this spring from CAbi, and I’m not really sold on it. It isn’t exactly the most flattering of tops. I love the neckline, but the ruching on the stomach makes that area look bigger. Like anyone needs that! The necklace was made for me by an online friend. She […]
This dress appears rather boxy on a hanger, but walking in it makes it come to life. The fabric moves a lot without being overly clingy. It graces your curves and then moves away with the next step. Added plus is that it is super comfy. Dress: Anne Taylor LOFT Jewelry: Silpada Shoes: Unlisted (so […]
I am becoming a dress lover these days. They are so easy to wear and comfortable. Just throw on the dress, a pair of heels and jewelry. Done! This dress I purchased at the Hot Mama store, and luckily it was on sale. It was still pricy, but the dress is pretty flattering to my […]

By Stacy on June 13, 2011I didn’t get much done on the sewing front this past week. I worked out every day last week, so that was my excuse. I did get a project done that had been waiting for a year. I spray-painted some picture frames and put my wall of pictures back up after taking them down when […]
I took some time fitting the top to this outfit. Normally when I sew I just kind of make it up as I go. I wanted this to work, though. It still isn’t perfect, but overall the fit works fairly well. I really like this color purple on me. It brings out my coloring. The […]
When I was in college I bought a pretty little cheap suit at TJ Maxx. I got rid of it at one point, but I still miss it. It had a jacket with a flounce all the way around and a pencil skirt. I would certainly wear the jacket now, but the skirt probably didn’t […]
My next inspiration dress comes from Chasing Fireflies. They have tons of pretty girly dresses. This dress was done in denim and retails for $238 (ouch!). Very pretty with lots of detailing, so I can understand why it is spendy. (click on picture to go to website) I wanted to do a similar dress, though […]
A few girly things… Birthday gift for one of Anya’s girlfriends I really wasn’t going to make a gift for this party. I was busy and stressed and really didn’t want to have to sew a dress. Then I thought the little girl would feel bad if I didn’t make her one when I’ve made […]
