I love new clothes. Part of the fun is the actual shopping. But since I'm saving up for a wedding right now (or trying to) I can't go shopping whenever I feel like it.
Lucky for me one of my many hobbies is sewing! I have a couple boxes of fun fabric taking up precious space in my room so I can create FREE clothes when I want to.
Today I just happened to have too much coffee (psh! Like you can have "too much coffee" *SIP*). So I threw open the boxes and only had to dig around for a minute before I saw something that motivated me.
Threw this skirt together in about 20 minutes (yes I'm bragging a little).
As you know I love mixing patterns (I made a whole post about it)
I especially love wearing this shirt with other patterns.
Cutest clothing shadow ever? I think yes.
I wanted to show you a little closer up. Notice I used white thread on black fabric? Some of you are probably like "WHAT THE HECK WAS SHE THINKING?!" This is something I started doing a long time ago out of laziness because I hate rethreading the sewing machine. So I would just use white or black (whichever was currently in the machine) thread on ALL my projects. But I continued to do it because I think its adorable and gives the piece I'm making character.
Used the scrap of spotted fabric from the underneath part of the skirt in my hair. Pearl earrings. Lace choker. And bright red lip (DUH).
Viola'. New favorite outfit and I no longer feel the need to go shopping.
Thanks for reading!
