Hey everyone!

This week has been amazing.

  • I had a holiday party with some of my friends last night. 
  • Kevin and I are having our own little Christmas celebration tonight (I will be in Michigan over the weekend with family).
  • Work has been surprisingly slow!
  • ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS

I hope you all have some awesome plans during the holiday season, try to stay away from your iphones and computers while in the presence of family. :}

Anyways, it is only Wednesday, but I am really starting to get into the mood of the holidays! :) 

This outfit has a lot of my favorite things in it. A floral sheer shirt (vintage), an awesome yellow cardigan (modcloth) and a beautiful skirt (modcloth) that moves very nicely. Everthing else is vintage/old ModCloth. :}

I feel awesome in this look! I hope you guys like it! <3

Hey everyone!

This is me taking a stab at colorblocking. I love bright colors, and wish I had more peices like these. You all know my obsession with my yellow scarf, it is definitely my go-to scarf when I am uninspired to wear anything else.

Anyways, it is almost Thanksgiving! Are you excited? To be honest, I am not really. I will be traveling most of the day, then eating lots of food, then driving home and working the next day! Wahoo for black friday! NOT.

But I hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving! :D

Jacket: ModCloth, Scarf: old ModCloth, Top: ModCloth, Pants: Riders, Boots: Old ModCloth

So. I made a dress last year, took all of these photos and then left for Ireland. I completely forgot about the dress, until I was going through my closet the other day!

So, I am wearing it to work tomorrow! But I also took pictures as I was making it that I STILL HAVE!!

I am a self-taught sewer, so I really don’t know what I am doing. Just sort of feeling it out. I have used patterns before, but I didn’t for this or most of my previous projects.

I made this dress out of a vintage sheet I found in a thrift store. I fell in love with the pattern, and decided to make something out of it. Found a tank top at forever 21 for $2 which would be way too short for my torso and turned these two items into a fabulous tank dress!

The cool thing about sheets is that they already have a lot of the sewing done for you, I just cut the sheet after I fitted it to my hips. I added extra room because I wanted it to be a comfy dress that I could dress up or dress down.

Something I did learn from this is that next time I make a dress like this I will put the elastic in the skirt AFTER I sew it on to the tank. I got ahead of myself and put the elastic in first before attaching the tank, and it was a lot more challenging to sew. I did it by hand, and that takes FOREVERRRRR. lol.

But I love how it turned out and will take a photo of me in it tomorrow!

Ok, so I love a lot of what is going on here&#8230; Good- The neckline is to die for, love the white collar. The model, she&#8217;s adorable. However, there is always something I would change&#8230; ;) Not so good- The yellow/orange color isn&#8217;t my favorite, I was thinking maybe totally bright yellow, or bright orange. TOO LONG! She could totally rock this if it was higher on her leg&#8230; I am thinking an inch or two above the knees. Never be afraid to show off a little leg! :)
