Light Sunday

Cream Stripe Dress

I'm slowly making progress in showing off some of the things I made last year. This dress was an end-of-the-summer project (there's a peek here). I honestly haven't worn it since September---it's been hiding on the rack between other warmer weather clothes. I pulled it out yesterday and realized it's actually great for layering and the light color is fresher than all my dark winter clothes. The dress is made from a modified 60s pattern. I used super soft linen with a woven stripe.

I was having a lot of trouble motivating myself to get out of the house and do something yesterday. I often spend Sundays just lazing around. Yesterday turned out to be a great day, though! We spent it walking around, eating delicious food, and relaxing with bloody mary's. I also had the day off of work today, so I spent the afternoon stocking up on things for new projects. I'll tell you about them soon enough!

What a great dress.

It does get tough to get out of the house in winter, but it sound like you went out and enjoyed your day yesterday. Can't wait to see what projects you have lined up.

That's amazing! I love the little buttons, and it's so flattering!

I have a problem getting out in the winter because most of my friends do. I'm down with going out and getting freezing but it's no fun to do alone!

Beautiful :)

I usually go moderately insane over winter (not leaving the house being only the start) but this year outfit posts have helped me keep my equilibrium. What 's that, "the blogging cure"?

Wishing you lots of sunshine and early spring :)
