...as I mentioned before, it would be a crying shame not to make McCall's 6844 a second time, especially since I LOVED the pattern so much at very first sight. I made this floral sweater knit version over Christmas break, but had not worn it yet. I paired it with a chocolate pontederoma knit pencil skirt (McCall's 6654) made last winter. I'm still surprised that I enjoy peplum detailing so much. Makes me feel as though I have a waistline (of sorts) once again. I use to think this design WAS NOT FOR ME. I was wrong!, as it actually gives one a slimming illusion.

| Yet another school picture. One day I'll venture out to more interesting venues. But for now, I have to grab a photographer wherever I can - this time I thought I'd venture out into the Criminal Justice classroom for a little change of atmosphere. |
Ninot Jacket Update:
Last night I was able to knock four items off my "finish line list" (so named by Oonaballoona). All that's left to do is:
Maybe I'll get to wear it on Monday; that is if it's not 13 degrees or 60 degrees. In Georgia we never can tell...
I really like this on you, very flattering and looks great with the skirt.
ReplyDeleteLovely Faye, and very flattering on you
ReplyDeletelove it!!
ReplyDeleteI am a peplum FAN. I have an undefined waist and not shapely hips...peplum!!! :)
The fabric is gorgeous and the whole look just works!
Look at you Ms. Faye....straight off the runway. Lovely outfit, and the jacket looks like its turning out well Ms. Determination!!!
ReplyDeleteThis really is a great pattern, both versions look great on you, it has the smart look of a jacket, but with the comfort of a cardigan, might have to get this one.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great!
ReplyDeleteVery flattering on you, Faye, and definitely defines those curves. I hope peplums never go out of style!
ReplyDeleteYou do look great!
ReplyDeleteYeah. You were wrong. This is really cute and I see you lookin' sporty!
ReplyDeleteThat´s exactly what I thought when I saw the photo: You look so svelte in your top!! Really nice. I´m so looking forward to seing the Ninot!
ReplyDeletereally love that style would you call it a fit and flare jacket? is there such a thing?
ReplyDeleteyesterday i made a finish line list inspired by you, by the way! we'll see if it keeps me calm today :)
I love this jacket on you! Especially with the chocolate pencil skirt and matching boots! Yes I would have to agree, the peplum top is definitely your friend my dear!
ReplyDeleteI think both versions look very flattering on you!
ReplyDeleteI love both versions too!
