I Can…

Ok, so I was thinking, and I’ve decided that I am going to learn how to make my own clothes.  I am buying a sewing machine and I am already getting excited.  The problem is, I’m super messy, so I’m trying to imagine what my apartment will look like with fabric, and thread everywhere, because that is the reality, no matter how much I tell myself that I will ‘stay on top of things’.  I also have a short attention span, so I’m sure I’ll end up with a bunch of unfinished crap, but today I made my very own pair of cut-off jeans, and I actually put the effort in to fray the edges this time, so I’m pretty confident I can turn that kind of obvious talent into a kick ass new dress….

My mom bought me this dress from Macy’s on sale.  I didn’t really like it at first, but then I found this sweater in my closet, and now I think it’s super cute.  Someone at work told me I looked like “little bo-peep”, which wasn’t exactly the look I was after.

  1. Some people have a threshold or tolerance level of girly looks. Well, this is a very cute look. Childishly cute while being feminine at the same time. And as always, nothing makes a look pop without your wonderful smile. Lovely.

  2. Hi Monie,

    I saw your pics at tfs and you look lovely! Your blog is great!
