Finished - Beige & Orange Wrap Skirt

I'm a lover of a wrap, always have been. There is something nice and easy about just slipping on a piece and tying it closed. It also helps that wrap skirts (or dresses) that tie are incredibly easy to make. 

When I made the matching tank, I added the orange because I thought it would be an interesting addition to a pretty dull print. I liked it on the tank but I love it on the skirt. The whole skirt is simple, soft, and cute making it a great wear.

What I Wore - Purple Flounce Skirt

This skirt is actually a new addition to my wardrobe. I didn't bother posting about it because I've made multiple just like it (red, black & a longer purple). If I have a knit fabric there is a 75% chance I'll make a flounce skirt with it.

What I Wore - Plaid Skirt

There are leaves on the ground like it's fall but the weather still feels very summery. It's actually nice enough outside that I'm still rocking miniskirts. I showed you this skirt before but never got a picture up of how it looks like on.

I like the fact that it's a skirt with pockets but the pockets I chose to add might not have been the best choice. I added the pockets so that they protrude out a bit because I thought that would be cute. But the protruding pockets and having fabric that wrinkles easily means the pockets just look wrinkly most of the time. I still like the skirt and wore it often this summer but it just didn't end up being a great as it could have been.

Finished - Plaid Fringe Skirt

What, another fringe skirt? I liked the look so much when I did it in orange I decided to do make another fringe skirt in plaid. 

I have a thing about not making dresses but making skirts and tops that match instead. I like having the choice of wearing them together so it almost looks like a dress but also having the choice to wear them separate.

Finished - Orange Fringe Skirt

Look at that fringe! The things I do out of sheer boredom. Sometimes instead of searching around your wardrobe for something to match it's easier just to make something that does... I was so in love with this top I made I made a skirt to go with it. 

It wasn't that long ago I blogged about wanting to make a boucle fringe skirt. Eventually I do manage to get around to making the things I want. You can see here that I found quite a bit on the internet for inspiration. There were so many beautiful options on that post; however, I also wanted something that would go with the top I made. I decided to go super basic since the top was attention grabbing enough (as basic as an orange fringe skirt can be).

Finished - Plaid Skirt With Pockets

Who cares that it isn't warm enough to actually wear a skirt? Sometimes you have to ignore the weather and make yourself happy. Bright colours and miniskirts make me INCREDIBLY happy. Another thing that makes me happy, pockets, and this puppy has two! I probably won't wear this bad boy with the jacket I made out of the same fabric but who knows...

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.

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.

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.

Inspiration - Pleated Skirt

Inspiration - Pleated Skirt by wallarand featuring a dropwaist dress

Alexander McQueen short sleeve scoop neck dress, 24 560 SEK / ASOS dropwaist dress, 450 SEK / Timo Weiland dress, 3 310 SEK / RED Valentino pleated mini skirt, 4 520 SEK / FAUSTO PUGLISI pleated mini skirt, 3 955 SEK / Givenchy brown skirt, 41 395 SEK

The warmer weather has me craving some summer clothes. Honestly, it's not warm enough to wear skirts or dresses, but I want one anyways! If I make something more technically challenging, by the time I finish it will be warm enough to wear it. I've always loved trying new things, so I'm sewing a skirt with pleats for the first time. I haven't decided what it'll look like yet which has led me through the internet rabbit hole for inspiration. I think it will be a fun look to have a skirt that is half pleated, but whether that'll work with the fabric I have lined up, is up for debate. I'm going to start sewing and just hope for the best!
