New In - Summer Shawl Collar Dress
I love the feeling of having a new dress. There's something about a dress that excites me more than other pieces of clothes. What makes that weird for me to say is that, I think I've mentioned before, I don't really like buying/making dresses. Usually when given a choice, I'd pick any other piece of clothing over a dress. It's not because I don't like dresses - I do - It's because I don't like how a dress is usually the entire outfit. I love clothes and I love variety. And usually there is just less variety in the possible outfit possibilities when dealing with a dress. That being said, I love a nice dress and I think I made myself a pretty cute one.

Song of the Day - Hiy Hiy
I had an awful night where I didn't get much sleep. That means today I need some fun music to keep me awake. Take a listen!

What I Wore - Lots of Black & White
Weirdly enough, warm weather waited until August to arrive.
Of course that means I've dusted off my crop tops and miniskirts. I do believe
I mentioned how often I wear my own sewn pieces, here's another example. This
embroidered organza crop top diy is a favourite summer piece. The light airiness
of it makes it great for warm weather.

Song of the Day - Nobody Has To Know
Getting over my Monday by listening to fun upbeat jams. Here's a track to dance to on a dreary Monday.

New In - Pleated Crop Top
I mentioned on my last diy that I had originally wanted to make a half pleated skirt and changed my mind half way through. After I finished the skirt, I was left with a strip of fabric already pleated. I decided it might be fun to have a pleated top to go with my new skirt.
The
top is definitely a great piece that has already gotten quite a bit of wear. The
pleats give it some visual interest and the slightly longer length for a
crop top makes it easier to pair with different pieces.

What I Wore - Geometric Skirt & Boyfriend Blazer
I post a lot about the clothes I make, but I'm not entirely sure if it comes across how often I wear them. I figured it might help showing the different ways I've actually worn my diys. It would have been easier to just pair this skirt with just a beige/white shirt like I did before, but instead I decided to do a little print mixing. I decided since the top and skirt both have a similar shade of beige in them they would totally match (who knows if others would agree). The oversized blazer is a great thrift find that would help tie the whole look together.
Blazer // Thrifted DKNY
Blouse // Nine West
Skirt // Diy

Haven't done one of these in a while! Sometimes you just need a soulful slow jam.

New In - Pleated Skirt
I should probably be embarrassed by how far behind
my blog is compared to my instagram. This is what happens you're super busy
and a bad blogger; you get distracted and forget to post what you have. Forgive
me and feast upon a newish skirt to my wardrobe.

Change Is Around The Corner
What?!?! I haven't felt like things have been working out with the blog, so... I've decided to spice things up (mostly just for my sake). There will be a slightly different theme going on with my blog posts. I've been thinking of making the blog more of a lifestyle blog. For a while now, most of the posts have been about my sewing. This means, if I'm not sewing regularly, then I don't have anything to post. There will be a larger variety of blog posts instead, and a slightly different look. These changes won't happen overnight, but soon enough, my little Wallarand will be entirely different!

Wearing - Geometric Skirt
I've been behind in just about everything. Hopefully that'll change soon enough. But now I've managed to get around to posting this picture of the skirt from my last post.

New In - Geometric Print Skirt
Introducing my new skirt. Technically I finished it a while ago, but it's new to the blog! This skirt is made out of the same fabric I used to make this coat. Somehow while working with this fabric both times, I manage to not realise it's just a bunch of triangles; I thought the print was more random. Consequently, I placed a column of triangles on the front slightly off centered which really bugs me in pictures. I hardly notice when I'm wearing it so it's not a big deal.

DIY Letter Holder
I've been definitely slacking at producing diy projects lately. Personally I enjoy diy projects because I like making something new without doing any shopping. But that means I'm really at mercy of what I have laying around. Eventually though, I do find something that I want to change. This picture here is a letter holder I had laying around. Pretty basic and it didn't match any of the other decor, so it was up for a change.
I gave the letter holder a quick coat of white paint and went along with the next step of wrapping it in hemp.
Just a coat of paint and hemp cord and it's a brand new letter holder. This in particular works a lot better with the decor around my place.
