Hello, everyone!
Last week the weather forgot that it's spring and it got cold and rainy once again. So, while I dream of wearing light dresses (like this one or this one), I'm stuck with more winter-y clothes. My outfits are not the most cheerful nor the most inspired this week; yet, here they are:
Thursday, May 17th
The blouse is my adored lace Banksia blouse that was never properly blogged, just worn here and here. This top always gets quite a few compliments and what cracks me up is that people tell me it looks expensive, when the fabric was probably the cheapest poly lace of the world.

This is definitely my least favorite outfit so far (and I look like a villain in the second photo). I like my Baroque Darling Ranges dress, but after a whole day of sitting down studying and sewing, it looked like a hot mess. Very poor fabric choice. I had to crop the photos because the wrinkles at the bottom looked terrible. I also forgot to adjust my beautiful vintage duck printed scarf a bit, so it looks like a rag.

Saturday mornings I get up super early to go to the local market with my mother (it's our little tradition). Last saturday I woke up to a very cold and rainy day, so I wore my wool Beignet skirt (never blogged), my favorite wool cardigan and a colorful scarf (I have a small collection of vintage scarves). I love this skirt as much as my other version; this one is in a bit of a less cheerful color, but it goes with everything.
I really love your blouse from the 17th, I can totally agree with those who think its expensive! Its such a lovely lace, sometimes the cheapest fabrics can make up into the nicest garments with the right pattern and construction! x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfits! I love the Banksia top, and the grey Beignet is a perfect basic wardrobe piece!
ReplyDeleteI always adore your outfits, you have such great style! What a shame about the fabric for your Darling Ranges, it's so pretty though!
ReplyDeleteThe blouse is wonderful and definitely looks expensive and love the beignet skirt too :)
ReplyDeleteLove em all! Really I couldn't pick a fav today. I also like to go to a saturday morning market, it is such a nice little ritual. Beautiful photos too!
ReplyDeleteI am loving seeing all of your outfits wearing your home made clothes. You also use such pretty fabrics! I have to agree with the people who tell you your lace top looks expensive - it really does! I've been wanting to make a similar style lace top but am having a lot of trouble finding a lace fabric I like. Oh well, I'll keep looking! :)
