Day 4 (5/5)
Dress: made by me, Purse: thrifted, vintage, Sneakers: forever 21
I love Saturdays. This Saturday was just beautiful. Sunny and warm. We decided to take a bike ride to a nearby park for a family picnic. I wore the white back cut out dress I made right before the Guam trip. I love this dress, and it was the best selling items of my shop last year. I made them so many times I think I perfected it. I can whip this out in a short time now:) It’s made out of white cotton seer sucker, and the back closes with a white rose shaped button (sorry no picture! forgot to take the back shots). Since I would be running around, I wore the dress with sneakers and a shoulder purse that I thrifted in Philly two years ago.
Day 5 (5/8)
Dress: made by me (Casey’s 40’s swing dress sew-along, worn here, progress written here), Jean jacket: thrifted, Sandals: bought in Korea, Earrings and bracelet: made by my friend
I had a day off this day. We went to an orientation at an adoption agency (more in Mommy’s diary soon). I hope I looked respectable yet youthful…
I made this dress last year during Casey of Elegant Musing’s sew-along. I like this pattern a lot. I made it without the sleeves, but I’d like to make them again with the sleeves. I’ve worn this as a daily outfit, and also to a wedding. So this dress has gotten a fair use! 🙂
Day 6 (5/9)
Top: made by me (also see on day1), pants: thrifted, originally from Uniqulo, Purse: ASOS, Sandals: bought in Korea, painted by me (tutorial coming soon!)
Everytime I wear pants, I fear that I look too momsy. I probably feel this way because my friend who used to be stylish, worked in apparel industry, now only wears T-shirts, skinny jeans and flats. She became a mom and let her style die. I mean, there is nothing wrong with the outfit, but I kind of miss her pre-mommy style.
So, I’m always weary of wearing pants, but today I just had to be comfortable. Today was not great. Nothing worked out well; cranky baby, rainy day, and quarrel with Andy.
Do you ever have one of those days where nothing seems to be working out for you?
