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 - B&W Print Mixing

The great thing about having so much black & white clothes is you can just toss a whole bunch of it on and it will go together. The easiest way to wear a print mixing outfit is by having the prints be the same colour. I can't tell you the amount of times I've worn an outfit that is some sort of variation on this same theme, black & white.

Finished - Beige & Orange Tank

Yeah, another tank top, not exactly exciting... but nonetheless, here's a new make of mine.

Lately it's all about curved hems for me. I like them because they look nice layered underneath sweaters which are what I wear most of the year. Sometimes you have to think about how you're wearing a piece instead of just what you want to make.

Finished - Black & White Print Skirt

Black & White prints are one of my favourites. This one... is particularly awesome. The print and the fabric together are perfect. I decided right after I made this top I knew I wanted a skirt right away. Nice flowy fabric deserves a nice flowy skirt which is why I made this pleated circle skirt. 

Matching separates once again because it's just the way I roll.

What I Wore - Black & White Wrap Dress

I don't usually get Septembers like this so I've been taking advantage of it. I've been pulling out dresses and skirts like my life depended on it.

I've mentioned before the only issue I have with dresses is they don't offer as much of an opportunity to change how an outfit looks. Usually I rely on accessories to alter my looks; this time however, I added a bodysuit with cap sleeves to change things up. I really like how it looks like a different dress with the bodysuit!

Diys To Try - Hanging String Wall Art

I used to think the idea of some sort of woven wall hanging was not at all my style. I would imagine
macramé wall hangings that would only fit with a strong hippy style. But these diys have definitely changed my mind! Hopefully you'll see something that would be worthy of a weekend diy project.  

1. Woven Tapestry Wall Hanging
2. Diy Wall Weaving
3. Modern Gold Wall Hanging
4. Modern Tassel Wall Hanging
5. Plaited Wall Hanging
6. Modern Yarn Hanging
7. Dip Dyed Wall Hanging
8. Large Tapestry Wall Hanging 
9. Woven Wall Hanging
10. Weaving Tassel Wall Hanging

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.

Finished - Black & White Wrap Dress

Have I ever mentioned how much I love wrap dresses? Something about how easy they are to get on and close really appeals to me. I've showed two others previously (here & here) but this has to be my favourite.

Finished - Black & White Print Tank

Sometimes when I need something to distract myself I like to whip up a quick tank top. I've done enough of them that it takes no time at all to sew. I find it sewing something nice quickly very therapeutic.

I liked the mint tank I made a little while ago so much I did basically the same thing but this time with a curved hem. It's a simple top but when you have a really nice fabric it will stand out no matter how plain the top is.

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 - Mint Crop Top

After making this dress and tank out of this mint fabric there wasn't much left to work with. Instead of just leaving the tiny piece of fabric with all my others, I decided to quickly sew something with it... a new crop top.

If my closet is going to be full of crop tops I might as well make an effort into making them different. This episode of lazy girl attempts to be different, why not add a sash? Technically it's the same idea I had with the mint tank I made, but this one is in a different place. So... not that creative but I really like it anyways!

Diys To Try - Pillows

I've always felt the easiest way to change the feeling of a living room is to change the pillows you have laying around. It could be a quick & cheap way to change things around as often as you like. To honour that idea here are a few Diys to try!

1. Scallop Pillow
2. Stitched Tassel Pillow
3. Fingerprint Pillow
4. African Mudcloth Pillow
5. Sweater Pillow
6. Knot Pillow
