Fresh & Simple in Citrus

I'm putting these newly designed cropped tees to work this Spring.  This week, I topped one with a pair of high-waist gauchos.  The crisp white with these juicy yellow pants was a great duo.  Especially with my new rich brown platforms, that I've actually been finding every reason to wear since I got them.  I wore them with a white linen dress here.


Honestly, these cropped pants were supposed to be a jumpsuit buuuuuut, after I was done sewing it and tried it on, it turned out to be a lot of yellow.  Yeesh!  So I separated the top and bottom... and then it just ended up looking like a costume.  A very nice outfit - just also very costumey.  I'll show you some time so you can see just what I'm talking about but basically, what I'm trying to say is my original plan failed and I was left with a consolation prize of some Summery yellow pants.  

Yay?

I still really want to make that jumpsuit.  I shall try try again.


 Yes, this cropped tee and cropped pant duo was fun and is great for both Spring and Summer but I'm not completely in love with these pants.  And since I have super rigid standards for my Tiny Closet (and you should too!), I won't be adding them to my wardrobe.  

Still, I hope this inspired some imagination and ideas for your Spring/Summer capsule!  You better believe you'll be seeing both my tees and these platforms for sure in mine :)

Have a beautiful weekend!! 
And come back for an awesome post on Monday!

    1. LOL I love jumpsuits. Like I may just have a closet of them and nothing else I can make the right ones. So I completely understand you having the same in 3 colors, ha! Thanks for reading!

  5. I actually like the pants. I like anything you sew! I don't have much yellow do I'll put that color on my last to add to my closet. I love that you don't hoard or buy things just because. Those platforms are so pretty. You inspire me.

    1. Thanks Kerissa! Well I'm happy you like them :) They were fun to wear and yellow is such a brilliant, pretty color. I'm so happy you were inspired! And yes, if you like wearing yellow then totally add it to your closet. It's not such a common color to wear and also, it's feminine!
