Look What I Made!

I am so grateful for the ability to knit and crochet, so when I want a new hat-scarf,sweater, wrap, etc. that I can't find in stores (or is horribly expensive), I can just make my own. I wish I could say the same for sewing. I am hopeless when it comes to that. Oh well...maybe someday. Today I wanted to show you all a fantastic oversized cowl that I made a while back. It was perfect for transitioning one of my favorite summer dresses into fall. Just throw it on over the dress, pair with coordinating tights, and boots. Check it out!

 

(Oh, and in case you were wondering, I found the knitting pattern here: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L0308.html?noImages=0 (it is for a smaller cowl. I modified it to make this piece)

One Outfit, Three Ways

Yesterday, I started a series where I wear the same skirt in three different ways. here is the second of my stylings.

Outfit 2:

One Outfit, Three Ways

Whenever I get a new article of clothing, I try to come up with as many different ways to wear it as possible. That way, I stretch my closet without spending too much. For the next three days, I will be posting three different ways to wear the same skirt, which I got on sale at Banana Republic. So without further adieu, here it is.

Outfit 1:

Leather

I've had this leather dress for a while now and have been trying to come up with new ways to wear it. Pairing it with my mint H & M motorcycle jacket and black studded Zara boots seemed like the perfect fit! While I don't normally go for the tough, biker look, the H & M jacket is feminine enough that I felt comfortable, while still stretching my personal fashion boundaries.
