Recycling

???????????????????????????????

 

Hey Lovelies,

Feeling a bit swamped and overworked so I’m just recycling old looks instead of coming up with new stuff and the worst part is the original look is way better than the new version. Humph. Extreme laziness is taking over. Sorry guys. Maybe next post will be better

Back to the beginning

???????????????????????????????Hey lovelies,

I found this dress a while back tucked in the back of a suitcase. This dress is one of the very first, if not the first, dresses I made when I was learning to sew about 5 years ago. I quite literally cut the pieces out of a maxi dress and sewed them together. It doesn’t look so bad but if you could see the inside and all the pieces and bits tucked away inside it, you would just cry for me. It was great to see this dress and to see how far I have come with my sewing and design but also, I clearly haven’t grown much over the past 5 years cos this dress fit exactly the same way then as it does now. lol.

Happy Monday lovelies,

Starting off the week in a bold look that I wore on Saturday for a wedding. I know what you’re thinking, separates for a wedding??, and Trousers???!!!! But if you’re really thinking that, you must be new around here, because otherwise you would know that we have a penchant for turning the rules on their head around here.

Suit- CJAJ09,

In unrelated (but sort of related) news, I need tips on how to stop my eyes from looking half asleep in pictures. I tried closing my eyes and opening them right before the snap but it doesn’t seem to work. And I don’t want to wear glasses.

Have a great week guys.
