Retro Dress

I can wear the belt with other outfits, and the pockets at pretty sweet.

So I've been working on this dress that I started in sewing class. I just finished it. I found the pattern in a pile of really old patterns that the sewing school had collected over the years. I came across this little gem and happily it was my size. I got my fabric at walmart and paid a grand total of $4. The collar is a little big, so i'm still working on tailoring it to fit me just right, but its basically done!



Please ignore the double chin and the awkward angle. I had to take the picture myself. I wish I looked as suave as this bizzy. I love her crazy fur hat!

Swap Party!

One of my favorite bloggers, sfgrilbybay, recently posted about her and her friends annual SWAP Party, where they all bring old clothes that they don't want anymore and switch! I thought this was a wonderful idea and I have been inspired to start planning my own Swap. For some reason I've been wanting to throw a big old party recently. I'm going to make invitationa any everything. maybe a theme? any ideas? I love this picture of a garden party posted by absolutely beautiful things! I don't think my party will look like that... but its an inspiration!

Work it out!

WORKING OUT. not always fun. But good for you. Recently I've been trying to get into shape but also I've been really trying to feel good about myself and my body. One thing I've been thinking about is what I wear when I work out. I basically look like a slob. Gross old TShirts, old, pilly, work out pants. The clothes that you wear have an effect on how you feel, and you confidence for sure. I need new work out clothes! I don't like the way spandex and other sinthetic fabrics feel one my skin when I sweat. I like cotton! very simple, yet chic style

Look what I made!

I made a shirt/dress in sewing class. Its a little big. and very green. (whats with all the green? everything I make seems to be green lately). this picture don't really do it justice. It's my first project in a while so it not to bad. I can use it as a cover-up at the beach this summer. I want summer soooo bad......

Shopping Spree

The other day as I was flipping through a magazine I discovered Vera Wang’s new affordable line, Simply Vera, that she is releasing at Kohl’s (god know why she choose Kohl's). There were some very cute dresses paired with funky accessories (wow I sound like such a dork). I went online and got a couple of cardigans, her pencil shirt, and a few tops. I went a little crazy, but it’s so cheap, why not?
