Adventures of the Sewing Machine


Skirt: I made it!, Tank: Lululemon, Belt: Forever 21, Cardigan: Gap, Sandals: Frye, Sunglasses: RayBan, Necklace: ? (Old), Watch: Citizen.

Truthfully, not much planning went into this outfit. I had planned to wear this skirt and I happened to be wearing this tank while walking my dog earlier in the day, and it just seemed to work together. I threw on this wide belt and chunky necklace to complete the look.

On another note, I made this skirt on my sewing machine last summer. This skirt was the final product of the first adventure I had with my sewing machine, so I'm surprised and pleased that it turned into something that is actually wearable. I am working on a nautical patterned skirt now, so I will post pictures and the pattern I used for both skirts next week.
