secretary outfit

May 21, 2009 By Chie

i just wore a regular secretary outfit today for work – kind of boring, but fitted to work i guess.
i made this little black dress for christmas party at work last year. i havent been wearing it since, but realized that it is perfect for work!

still trying to catch up with whole sale orders, and havent been able to post anything new on my etsy shop. hopefully soon i can post some new summer stuff!

dress: handmade
cardigan: banana republic
shoes: bought at a local shop, called eternity for $5
bag: furla

i want to make harem pants!

May 21, 2009 By Chie

i made a post about harem pants before, but after tying on the harem pants at h&m today, im convinced that i should make one! the one i sew at h&m was perfect – they were so comfy to wear, and surprisingly, my legs look much slimmer than they really are, i dont know why. they had them in black, gray, khaki and pink/purplish color, for $19 bucks. i know i should just buy them, but considering that i don’t spend more than 5 dollars on a piece of clothes recently (except the furla bag), and next year, harem pants may not be in, i couldnt make up my mind.

so i did some research about how to make harem pants –

this website has a basic draft pattern that i may be able to follow..or this post about making pantaloones …

i want to make it in black to start off, not too too puffy one.

by the way, speaking of pants, i love this blog phi style! she has great pants style! i dont really wear pants, and since i wear and make dresses so much, i almost dont know how to wear pants stylishly…

stripe today

May 20, 2009 By Chie

i just made this last night. im making a couple of things for a place in WI, called Brilliant Stranger. the shop owner, Dawn has a great shop on etsy too! she creates clothing out of vintage clothes or thrifted clothes, and turns them into completely unique and new.

this super mini stripe dress (or tunic) comes with a matching scarf:)

i used not to like stripe at all, but now i like it a lot!
