Little known fact: sometimes your floral motifs get lonely and you need to give them company. Okay, I actually didn't notice that I was wearing florals on top AND bottom until I made this post, but that rationale seems accurate, right?

I made this skirt last year from a very simple pattern and this glorious floral fabric that I got from Joann Fabrics. Here's a closeup of its vintage-inspired goodness, wrinkles and all:
Here's a closeup of the cardigan's floral gems. I'm...let's call it "thrifty" with most purchases, but I still remember that I spent $29 for this cardigan on clearance, which is probably NBD to most people, but I like to see how little I can pay for all of my clothes, so this was a MAJOR splurge to me. This one was special!
Here is a clear shot of the Indiana Jones Cat portrait that lives above our couch. He peeks into a lot of my pictures, but I've never introduced him. He found me at a vaguely sketchy thrift store and I just knew. I have yet to regret making him the center of my living room decor. The other is a painting of Mike Lowell done by my dear pal Brian.

Do you ever go overboard with a pattern? Are you into making your own clothes? Would you not LOVE to have your own Indiana Jones Cat portrait? I think I've actually seen this print available online before for those who just must have him, too. He's worth the search.
I LOVE that skirt! Too cute :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was fun to make, too :) xo
DeleteIs your lipstick an orange or a blue based? I'm looking for the perfect blue-based red and I can't find it!
ReplyDeleteI've seen others classify it as blue based, but it always reads as more orange based on me. For a true blue based, I would recommend ELF Matte Lip Color in Rich Red, Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick in Stoplight Red, Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Lipstick in Red My Mind, Revlon Matte Lip Stain in Standout or CoverGirl Outlast Liquid Lip Color in Ever Red-dy. All drugstore, all great! xo
DeleteI think Fire & Ice is sort of notorious for looking different on different people... would agree with the suggestion of Stoplight Red!
DeleteI love that fabric! I lack the space for a sewing room but I admire handmade clothes and accessories. And that Indiana Jones print is amazing, haha.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have my sewing stuff in the corner of my living room, but I dream of having a dedicated crafting space one day. It works for now, but I would definitely make more clothes if I had the room to really spread out. xo
DeleteOh man, that Indiana Jones cat is AWESOME!!!! Why can't I find something like that at my thrift store?? :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks! It was a seriously lucky find! Keep your eyes peeled - you never know what might find you at your thrift store :) xo
DeleteHouse tour? Your style seems pretty eclectic, even in your home. I like. :) I typically thrift all my clothes and won't spend more that $10 on a piece (and that's a lot to me!) but sometimes you gotta live a little ya know? Especially if you love something, like a floral beaded cardigan in pink.

Thank you! I would consider a house tour, even though my space is pretty small. I love seeing other people's tours so it's only fair, I guess! And yes to living a little! xo
DeleteWay to bring florals into the winter! You nailed this outfit! Love the details on that cardigan too! You look lovely :]

Yeah, I'm all about florals year-round! Thank you! xo
DeleteYou look adorable. Love the floral skirt and the cardigan. It was definitely worth to pay that much for it. I would like to have a Indiana Jones car portrait too. It's so cute.

Thank you! I know, especially since $29 is actually like nothing to most people, haha. :) xo
DeleteSuch a cute outfit! I really love the skirt, and was so excited to see that you made it. The fabric is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteMuch Love,

DeleteFrom your blog, Women's make his dress instantly beautiful. You told them easy way to make beautiful. As well as, this Interior Painting Services in Knoxville TN gives you chance to make his house wall repaint.
ReplyDeleteThe Educational Toys from Evan & Halls are a godsend! They have been an excellent method for my children to be busy and educated over these extended periods spent at home. The toys provide just the right amount of difficulty to maintain their attention without becoming discouraged. Additionally, I've seen that they've contributed to my children's enhanced capacity for critical thinking and problem-solving.
