What I Wore - Flag Crop Top & Shorts

 

It's been hot enough this week that I've been able to dress for the summer. I pulled out one of my crop tops that you've seen on the blog before (here). Looking at this picture I realize that sometimes I should remember to pull out an iron every once in a while.

New Songs - Girls Your Age



Slight change of pace with this slow and moody track. It's hard to not love a song with the line "Live fast while your young, don't go chasing love".

What I Wore - Black & Brown Summer Layers

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

Song of the Day - Coming Over



Some songs fall firmly under the category of summer music. Dillon Francis & Kygo decided to release a summer song at the end of summer, but who am I to judge?

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.

Two in two days? Well, I'm a fan of laid-back jams and wanted to share.

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.

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!
