In Georgia chilly weather equals morning temperatures in the range of 30's, 40's or even 50's (I tend to be cold natured - physically) Temps like this dictate wearing some type of cardigan, sweater, jacket or coat. This morning it was 44 degrees and I needed to pull out some type of topper.
I can't believe it's been so long since I made this jacket - January 2014 |
or since I made my first Colette Mable skirt (though none of mine are quite this short) - October 2014 |
It was such a pleasure wearing this me-made ensemble today. I am still in love with this jacket and the construction work put into it. The padstitched peter pan collar, which (should I dare say) has the perfect turn of cloth, the bound buttonholes that I still can't believe "I" made, even the buttons that I think were a perfect selection, and the crepe back satin lining that gives the jacket such a luxurious feel. It was a great Work Wear Wednesday...
You look so pretty and I love your version of this beautiful skirt!
ReplyDeleteThank you Myra! I love the Colette Mable skirt. I know I will be making more of them. Only 7/8 yard of 60".
DeleteYou look wonderful Faye! I love the polka dots and the jacket is a great topper. Bound buttonholes are on my list!
ReplyDeleteThank Elizabeth! When you do get to bound buttonholes may I recommend Pauline Alice's tutorial on her blog. That is what I used to learn.
DeleteYou look great, Faye! I love your outfit.
