Happy Outfit On A Sad Day

I’m not really sure what to say today. I wasn’t even sure I was still going to post this outfit that I already had queued up and planned. 

Of course, every time something like this happens, it is unthinkably sad. But it is really surreal when it all the sudden happens in your own backyard. Your own city. A spot you could have easily been standing in yourself. A spot that I was standing in just two days before. That is a scary moment. 

So, all thoughts are with my fellow Bostonians today and the days to come. 

…………….

On another note, flamingos make me happy. How could they not? Those colors, those legs. Instant smile :). A happy outfit for a sad day, I guess.

Handmade

Ever since I started making weekly garments for Design Diary, it has also motivated me to tackle projects in my own to-do pile. The pattern and fabric for this dress has been sitting around for quite some time now, and I finally got around to putting it together. It might be a little late in the season to be making a plaid, flannel dress. But at least the bright colors make up for it and make it spring appropriate.

And now I’m even more excited to finish more garments in my project pile!

Stay tuned.
