this is what I wore on Wednesday - see I'm still wearing me made. I'm just not getting photos taken.
Last week got my hair cut. I had to find a new stylist since I'm not working downtown any longer and I wasn't willing to go downtown to get it done. This girl did a great job - but I'm not so good at styling it myself. It looked cute and I popped some scrabble tile bobby pins in. They stay put and are fun. If anyone needs some - let me know what letters you want.
Anyway - I had to run to the bank and the was visiting with the bank manager who said I looked like I had stepped out of a J. Crew ad. My friend Anna said I didn't have enough collars and layers on - so we decided it was most likely the lack of color.
The skirt is a taupe and cream wool - it's not a herringbone, but the two colors do create a stripe which I altered up and down in each panel. I can't even remember how long ago I made this skirt - but I know The Princess was still in high school and I was still sewing in the formal living room and using pattern master. So it was long, long ago.
When I first finished it - it was too big. Story of my life. I put it away for a few years thinking I would take it in - but really I know myself well enough. I'm glad I didn't give it away. It was also very itchy, I used the wool for a simple foldover waistband and that was a bad idea. Now it fits very well (although I'm growing out of it - in a good way) and I just wear a cami and slip.
Oh - and the glasses? I only wear them when I drive. I had just gotten home and had JB's attention so I hadn't taken them off yet. The sweater and cami were purchased.
And now.... I'm off to make some new clothes. Happy Weekend Everyone.
