MY MOTHER TOLD ME...

... that I need to start taking more pictures wearing my designs.  I'm trying to do just that, but I can't promise how long it will last.  Sometimes it's not convenient to take pictures at work. It's so much easier to just press the finished project and take a picture of it on the dress form.  Sounds lazy I know, but moving on.

Today I wore my self-drafted Carnival skirt with my ponte de roma peplum top - first time I've put this combo together.  I usually wear this skirt with a black sweater. I also wore the red coat that I refashioned last year.

I've got one more bit of blog business to finish - it'll be coming up soon, so stay tuned...

  1. What a great outfit! It's hard to get pictures of yourself when you don't have an inhouse photographer, isn't it?

  2. Love the styling. The photography is much admired and looked forward to, but not always an easy task to do.

  3. I'm with your Mum on her advice! You do wear your clothes so stylishly and put a great outfit together. But I know to get the photos is easier said than done...

  7. Mothers are always right!! I agree that taking photos of yourself is the hardest part about this blogging lark and sometimes it really slows me down. But I really appreciate seeing garments being worn so I try to do it. Your outfits look great, the top and skirt are really versatile pieces

  9. That's a fabulous coat refashion. I like so color when it's the dead of winter-seems to brighten things up a bit. Nice skirt, too.
