This is what I wore yesterday with the help of my blogging-internetting friends. Thanks for all your input! :)
(Doesn’t my pic look a lot like a Japanese craft book? That wasn’t on purpose, but I like it.)
Now that I have all these flow-y tops, I can see myself obsessing over belts next. I guess I forgot how nice a belt can be when I didn’t have a waist for like, um, years.
Anyway, I want to point you to Darling Dexter, who was so kind as to feature me here and constantly inspires me with her daily outfits. I think we share the same “style essence” because I covet everything she puts on her body.
And speaking of style essence, I think I’ve captured the essence of the dress that got my wheels turning - captured the essence without duplicating the inspiration. And I modeled it for y’all too.
Yay for being completely ridiculous and posing with knitted flowers!
This week, I have some refashions in progress, so be on the lookout…

I think I start every one of my comments here with “Wow!”. I think I should do it again.
Wow, these are both ADORABLE. First of all, can you be any skinnier? (in a good way) You must not eat any cookies :). I love the belt/sash/tie addition. And I love both pictures. You are too cute and your style is too cute. You make me want to sew for ME!

You are so cute. Those are super cute things to put on your body. I wasn’t sure about that first one yesterday, with the poufy shoulders, but now that it’s done, I adore it. The belt totally makes it. So cute.

Dear Kristena,
Just popping in to say thank you so much for your sweet comment, and for taking time to visit me! I forgot to tell you I have the same shoes you do in this last photo!
Yes, this lovely photo does look like a Japanese craft book! You are so talented! Once again, I must tell you how lovely you look in your top with the belt and your dress, too!
I look forward to visiting with you again, and seeing your refashions!

[…] doesn’t bore you too much, but I made another pillow today. I used leftover chambray from this tunic and a lacy vest my Aunt Heather sent me (Thanks, Aunt Heather!). You just never know where you […]
