Trial and error

By on June 27, 2012

I made this outfit in the past week.  As in…I made the top last night and couldn’t wait to wear it!  The pants were try #2 on a new pattern I drafted.  Try #1 consisted of a lovely black linen that resulted in a less than flattering pair of summer pants.  You win some, you […]

A DIY you can’t see…

By on June 26, 2012

Well, the clothes I am wearing ON TOP were purchased, but I am wearing a slip I did a little sewing on.  I have several skirts that are a bit see through (this being one of them), so I wanted a fitted nude slip.  Shouldn’t be too hard, right?  Most that I saw had panties […]

Just like wearing pajamas

By on June 21, 2012

This was another maxi skirt/top outfit that I made.  It is soooooo comfy.  Lovely soft knits, and it is just like wearing pajamas to work. I wore this a few weeks back and didn’t really like the pictures, so I didn’t post them.  I thought I looked too fat in them.  I think I have […]

A happy coincidence

By on

I have been trying to delve into my closet to wear things that I don’t usually wear.  They take up space in the closet, so I should wear them, right??  Well, the first outfit I put on today was thwarted by the fact that I have gained a few pounds in the last few months, […]

A little edge

By on June 20, 2012

I love this skirt, but it is hard to pair it up for work outfits. I decided to just cover a bit of it with my knit vest.  I added a little more edge with my eye makeup, though. A little edge is A-Okay. Working in an office that gives me a bit of leeway […]

A bit of a meal

By on June 18, 2012

That would be me…a meal for the mosquitos. A thunderstorm went through the previous night, and the weather decided to turn positively muggy.  As I went outside to take pictures I was beset my many a mosquito wishing to make me their breakfast. An interesting fact I learned this weekend, while on a cave tour, […]

It’s a Friday, and thank goodness for that…

This is what I wore to work on Friday.  It was another long week, like most of them it seems.  Can’t we just go from Monday to Friday and ignore all those days in between??  I would be ALL FOR THAT.  Top – Bennetton Vest – Michael Kors Skirt – Made by Me Shoes – […]

Van Gogh

By on June 15, 2012

I made this top last Friday night.  It is made from FreeSpirit’s Van Gogh line of prints and I just love the colors in this fabric.  I even painted my nails lavender to match one of the many colors in it.  The reason for the top, was that I was going to my 20th high […]

The black and white theme

By on June 9, 2012

I seem to have a theme going on lately of wearing a lot of black and white.  I guess it is really easy to match things up.  What makes it easier is when you wear a dress, as you only need to match your shoes! I made this dress a good 4 years ago, I […]

All ready to run errands

By on June 8, 2012

This was my Saturday morning garb.  Comfy knit top and jersey skirt to run to gymnastics, get gas, mail something and then back home to laze about the rest of the day.  A wonderful Saturday of not doing much.  We don’t have many of those days anymore and they are nice when we get them. […]
