Diy White Cotton Crop Top


I realize making a new crop top isn't seasonally appropriate, but I only had this much fabric leftover from an earlier skirt. Sometimes you just have to work with what you have. Weirdly enough I already have two other white crop tops, but this one is obviously different. I mean, it's a bit different from the other boxy crop top because that one was transparent.


It also doesn't hurt that I've never been one to be confined by what I should wear. I have no problem just layering my new crop top over something else and wearing it during the winter.

Currently Craving - Georg Jensen




Some pieces manage to be spectacular without doing very much like this bracelet. Can't quite put into words what I would be willing to do for this bracelet but I'm definitely planning on saving up to get it. If you're curious about the other versions (fancier versions), you can see them over on the Georg Jensen site.

What I Wore - Denim on Denim


Amazing how simple it is to get dressed when you have an incredibly basic wardrobe. It takes two seconds to decide what to wear when you only have a handful of winter appropriate clothes. The thing is, I don't care if it is faster, I miss having options! I'm in the process of sewing a few things and have definite plans to break my shopping hiatus. Back to options for this gal.

New In - Knitted Gift Toque


Don't know if I ever mentioned how great my mother is, but in case you didn't know, she's the bestest. I'm a huge fan of knit scarfs and hats but I am not a fan of actually knitting them. So being the lovely woman she is, my mother made me a black slouchy toque. 


I really love the stitch of the knit and how it fits. The truth is, you can never go wrong with a black hat!

What I Wore - Black & Grey

 


Happy New Year!!! I realize i am a couple days late but what’s the point of the holidays if you can't have them off? I tend to not recognize the New Year until my birthday, it’s a habit of being an early January baby. 

So far this winter, on the cold days, I have been living in this grey coat. Technically it's my mother's, but she has parted from it, so I’ve been wearing like it is mine. Most of the clothes I can wear in the cold are either black or grey so it has worked out.  Pairing the grey coat with the all black look stops it from looking too dark and moody.


The New Year signals new posts. I have quite a few things in the woodwork for the blog. I'm sure just like every other blogger, I've started the new year with the goal of posting regularly and more often. See you guys soon with more diys, outfits, and fashion posts!

Diy African Wax Print Skirt


Right in time for the festive season I managed to finish my African wax print skirt. Honestly it's probably not that festive, but as far as I am concerned, anything that's gold is festive. I'm looking forward to rocking this little lady sometime soon.

What I Wore - Red & Black Layering


I've been really bad at posting recently which I'll hopefully change. Every once in a while I just go weeks without posting. Sometimes it's because I don't take any pictures but sometimes it's just me getting lazy and not wanting to go on blogger. Recently it's been a case of the latter. This picture was from a little while ago because recently I've been living in my sweats!

Diy White & Brown Skirt


I know I didn't get around to posting a picture of this skirt worn before, so here it is! The skirt is a basic short skirt with a lace overlay. I like the skirt; the only issue is I don't have any tops that seem to go with it other than the one I'm wearing here.  Obviously it's not an issue now that it's too cold to wear it, but next summer I'll probably revamp it to get more wear.

Diy Zippered Toiletry Pouch


 I found this tutorial online here and decided to give it a try. I needed a new travel toiletry bag and this would fit that purpose perfectly. My version is a little smaller because the zipper I had on hand was smaller. Wax print fabric was used for both the outside and the lining of the box pouch. I figured it would be best for a toiletry bag and easy cleaning.  


I also decided to make bigger loops on the end. I wanted loops that were easier to grab and hold on to and thats exactly how they turned out.

What I Wore - Peplum Blazer


I don't know if I ever got around to showing the polka dot tank that I made a while back but here it is out in the wild.

New In - Striped Fabric



While out thrifting I managed to find fabric that I think would fit perfectly as a blanket piece that I've been craving lately. There isn't as much of it as I would like, but there is definitely enough to make something fun and warm. I originally wanted to make a blanket coat with a big exaggerated collar but with this fabric I'll have to go in a different direction. I haven't decided yet, but this will probably end up being a poncho or a sweater with a wide collar. I will definitely show you the end product!

What I Wore - Various Browns


I've mentioned I don't like wearing browns and yet here's an outfit featuring multiple shades. Nothing against the colour itself, I just don't like the idea of wearing the same colour as my skin. Personally I like the idea of contrast. 

Shirt // Thrifted
Skirt // Thrifted Refashion
Sandals // H&M Refashion

In Search of - Blanket Coat

In Search of - Blanket Coats




Because I already have a basic black winter coat, I believe my closet would benefit from a more exciting backup coat. What’s more fun than a blanket coat? Snugly and warm, how can it get better? Personally I’m really digging the Stella McCartney at bottom left.
