Wednesday was super sunny...as per usual. I love that I can say that now. Ahhh.
Anyway though, yesterday was hottt, actually and I wasn't really prepared for that type of warmth.
Preparing to meet Theo in the Arts District, I rummaged through a bag of clothing I've been putting together to donate to Goodwill and pulled out this old polka dotted silk crepe skirt.
Decided to wear it as a halter dress.
In 10 mins, I had sewn a grosgrain ribbon to each end of the skirt opening, threw on my ultra comfy, casual lace bustier and stowed my booties away in my bag for later.
I was ready to go out!
So, yesterday was a reality check for me. I realize I am definitely not as prepared as I thought for the upcoming Summer months... Looks like I'm finally going to have to go...
shopping!!!
And y'all know I don't shop a lot. I actually don't even remember the last time I went shopping for new clothes... I definitely like to play out the longevity and see the potential in the clothing I already have - hence the Tiny Closet. But don't get me wrong, I love to shop. In fact, I love it way more than I should, it's an absolutely delicious past time. So... with this new climate and all... I think it's time.
Don't you agree?

I love how you refashioned your skirt into a dress! I find myself shopping less and less too but a little shopping to welcome the summer weather is always fun : )
ReplyDeleteLove your polka dot dress!!!! Always fun for the spring and summer time.

I just have to comment, I've been a lurker for quite some time but I really love the concept of limiting your wardrobe and I LOVE what you did with the polka dot skirt!
ReplyDeleteMakes me wanna buy a sewing machine and teach myself some tricks.
Can I ask how you learned to sew? I bought a sewing machine, and have been having difficulties using it properly/cutting fabric etc. Any advice as to how to go about learning to sew?
ReplyDeleteYou are sooo creative! I am learning to try to wear my clothes in interesting ways. I work in a very conservative environment so it is difficult and I usually add pops of color to allow my personality to shine. Thank you for allowing me to see pieces differently.
ReplyDeleteOh and before I go, have you ever considered showing us your tiny closet? I have a small closet and I have not successfully been able to organize it - ask my hubs that walks over my clothes every day - I'm working on it but tips would be super helpful!
Well dang. That is a great idea for that skirt!
