The Good Kind Of Rainy Days

Worn on June 24th, 2011

We’ve had another few days of pretty rainy weather around here. Usually, I don’t like days like these. But these have been some pretty good ones. This week I’ve spent almost all my time in comfy sweatshirts, drinking coffee, and sewing away while netflix-ed Dexter episodes play next to me. 

You see, I wanted a second outfit for our engagement shoot coming up. But after weeks and weeks of searching for the perfect dress, I just couldn’t find something I wanted. So it finally dawned on me to just make something myself. If I wouldn’t thought of this earlier, I would’ve designed and drafted something myself. But seeing as I now only have a short amount of time, I decided to go with a commercial pattern. And I’m loving the way its looking so far.

- in the beginning

- my little sewing buddies :)

- I realized all of the mugs I own have something to do with WNY/home. I’ve had this baby for the longest time. 

- almost done! this photo is deceiving. the skirt portion is actually just pinned together. I was getting impatient and wanted an idea of what the finished product would look like. don’t worry, you’ll get to see the real thing soon!

New Found Love

worn on June 17th, 2011

Most days I like my outfit, every once in a while… I love it. This outfit = love. I picked up this skirt in the most adorable little vintage shop right around the corner from me. If you’re from Boston, you already know about Artifaktori. But I lived here for about nine months and didn’t know it even existed. You’re not going to be able to keep me away from there now. 

shirt: Forever21

skirt: Vintage - via Artifaktori

bow necklace: made by me, being added to the shop soon

shoes: H&M
