i have never sewn anything that involved pleats. i had to figure it out on my own and it was definitely hard at first but once i got the hang of it i enjoyed it very much. i may have fallen in love...
i found this fabric several weeks ago and i had to have it! i knew immediately what i wanted to do with it!
after researching this springs top trends, i was able to incorporate many of them into the outfit that i made for this weeks challenge.
pleats.stripes.metallic.maxi skirt.mint green.
i love this pleated skirt because the shiny, silk and chiffon stripes allow you to dress it up for a nice event by simply putting it with a pretty embellished blouse (made by me!) and a pair of gold sparkly heels!
or you can dress it down with a pair of wedges, t-shirt, some bright chunky jewelry, and a big sun hat (pictures of this outfit will be coming later on my blog)!
the creamy silk/crepe blouse is a simple boxy top with a vintage (1930's) gold, metallic embellishment.
i was inspired by {this} skirt and {this} shirt. please note the prices on these babies! yeah...

Jess, I LOVE this! It looks like this skirt from the last JCrew catalog that I've been meaning to try to figure out how to make for myself (if you put together a tutorial, I'll just that, though- haha).
ReplyDeleteAW THANKS! I love it! I wore it last night to our show (cirque du soleil baby!) and i had so many complements! i felt amazing wearing it! I will put together a tutorial here in the next week or two!
DeleteAgreed. The skirt is awesome. I need one. Great job, and enjoy your vacation! I'm headed to the gym to cycle out some nerves...then I need to go to the zoo or somewhere unplugged. I'd be happy about a tutorial, too:) xoxo
