Finished - Yellow Crop Top

Following the trend of using my last usuable piece of fabric to make a crop top, here I attempted something a little different. I started cutting out pieces and sewing before I had any clue what I wanted to make. Then I didn't really have anything to close and finish off the top/vest I made. Technically it's finished but really it's in a holding stage until I find something I want to spice it up like a zipper or cool buttons.

Finished - Yellow Pencil Skirt

I'm a sucker for an eye catching pencil skirt. Something about the basic silhouette works incredibly well with a unique fabric. After making this blazer, I still had quite a bit fabric leftover to make something else. I knew the fabric itself would make a beautiful skirt I just had to decide how long I wanted it. I have a habit of making miniskirts so I decided to change things up by making a knee length pencil skirt and here it is!

Finished - Matelasse Shawl Collar Blazer

Since I've been slacking in the blogging department I've never gotten around to showing you my newest blazer. My first post of 2016 is a project from 2015 I never got around to posting.  If you follow my Instagram then you know it doesn't actually fit into the Just Finished category (so here's a new category... just "finished") but what the heck, here it is!

What I Wore - Matching Separates

I'm slightly worried I might end up wearing way to many crop tops this summer. I absolutely love how light and summery they are. I also have a habit of randomly sewing crop tops out of scraps of fabric that would otherwise have gone unused. So to save face, I won't mention how many I own. I personally only wear crop tops so I end up showing only a sliver of skin. Haven't done enough (by enough, I mean any) crunches to wear them any other way.

I like this outfit because it's slightly differrent from what I usually wear. Yellow is one of the few colours I do not have much of in my closet. With my skin tone being very yellow plus the blond hair, wearing yellow ends up feeling like too much. But the varying shades in the floral print happens to be one of the few times yellow has looked fine on me.
