Tuesday Blues

I've heard of Monday Blues, but I think I have the Tuesday Blues today. I just keep staring at my closet thinking that some fabulous outfit is going to jump out and bite me, but alas, I have nothing. And honestly, I am thinking that I should have saved those beautiful pleated plum pants for myself, it's one of those times where I almost hope no one buys them from Hint of Vintage :)


So here is my attempt at a modest, springy outfit. Bright colors were a must today because the sun is shining, it is a wonderful 70 something degrees, and I just feel like it, dang it.

{shirt: made it, pants: Kohls, belt and shoes: thrifted}

I am pretty sure that Matt being taller than me, taking these pictures, is the result of them looking like I have stubby legs. Maybe I need him to sit on the ground and take them. Then the camera would be slanted upward, like I have my long mirror so that I can feel better about myself because the angle makes my legs look like twigs that reach my neck. 

Ah well, I have come to the conclusion that I am too crabby to continue writing, so for everyone's sake...see ya tomorrow :)

Floral Shirt

Ok, so I told you I would be lazy, but it turns out that down-time with Matt home meant that I could finally make the shirt that I have been thinking about for a while. I found this floral fabric on sale at Walmart while I was picking up the fringe and have been dreaming of creating something fabulous with it. I have been thinking of different shirts that I could make because I have been wanting a floral shirt for a while that was loose fitting, then when I saw this dress that Sisters 4 made I couldn't stop myself from thinking that my shirt-to-be needed ruffles around the neck as well. Because the fabric is so "busy" I added another color to the ruffle so that you could see the ruffle (because at first it just blended in and lost the affect).

So, here it is: **please ignore the faces I am making. I have cold sores and so my lips don't want to move**

I had the ruffle end part way in the back to add to the "rough" look of the shirt. 

Ta-da! So that is the shirt that resulted from fabulous fabric and free time. Thanks Matt for watching Link while I did this, and thank you mom for the sewing machine that you gave me many Christmas's ago. 

**fringe necklace fashion pics to come, I promise**
