What? An outfit without a single piece I've sewn? Every once and a while, it happens.

What I Wore - Lots of Denim
The other day I while getting dressed; I had to take a second and just marvel at how much of my clothes I've sewn myself. There's something incredibly satisfying about putting on clothes that you've sewed with your own two hands. I just feel a lot better knowing that my obsession with fashion has moved to a place where I no longer have to worry about my over consumption of fast fashion. It's also great knowing that even though I'm not shopping as much, I still get to have a wardrobe filled with things I love and want to wear.

What I Wore - Black on Black / Leather on Leather
Fall is turning out to be cool and extremely dark, the same can be said about what I'm wearing.

What I Wore - Diy Print Skirt
Managed to get a photo of an outfit featuring my newish skirt. I went out to dinner for the first time in forever, so I decided to use it as an excuse to dress up a bit. It's summer so I decided to continue showing my love of crop tops. However, evenings here in Sweden tend to be quite cool so I just paired it with a faux leather coat.

What I Wore - Cropped Sweater
Every once in a while you come across an article of clothing that really makes you question its use. Like what you ask? Well how about a cropped sweater. A thick sweater to keep just the very top of your body warm. Let that belly of yours freeze!
Obviously if you're like me, your closet is full of random pieces that most people would balk at. However, I think a cropped sweater is a great layering piece. What's the point of having nice tops if the whole time it's cold you never see them under sweaters and jackets? So yesterday I pulled my cropped sweater out to wear on a day where the weather was working with my outfit instead of against.

Blue Faux Leather Saddle Bag

Sometimes when you finish a project instead of feeling great, you feel highly disappointed. I really wanted a small blue saddle bag as a casual bag to wear once in a while. I have this great Bally saddle bag that I decided would be great inspiration.This blue faux leather fabric was bought for my asymmetrical skirt, yet there was more than enough to make something else out of the fabric. The bag I made looks almost exactly like the Bally bag I have minus a few differences. The bag I already had was a little smaller widthwise and didn't have the tassel this one has. Also this bag is missing the hardware connecting the straps to the bag and the belt like straps, complete with a belt buckle. Even though I think the bag is cute, the faux fabric and lack of hardware make this bag look slightly cheap. I really liked the fabric when used on the skirt, but on the bag it doesn't work as well. I will wear the bag, but after all the work I put in making it, I wish I was happier with it.

Diy Asymmetrical Faux Leather Skirt
It case it wasn't obvious till now, my favourite colour is definitely blue. So when I saw this blue faux leather fabric was on sale for $3 a metre, it took me all of a second to decide to buy it. I figured the classy idea was to make a bright blue pencil skirt. To make it interesting though, I decided an asymetrical wrap skirt that hits right above the knee would be best. With the added cost of the concealed side zipper, this skirt ends up costing me less than $3. I've already started making a small purse with the rest of the fabric, but that isn't finished yet. I'll get a picture up soon on the blog to show you how it looks.
