Color Coordination

The skirt I dyed a few weeks ago is such a good match for my green shoes. Today feels like Spring and I am taking advantage of it. Short sleeved shirts, kicky skirts, cute flats. I hope the nice weather sticks around.

How is the weather in your neck of the woods? Are you ready to bust out your warm weather clothing?

Tea and Fabric

I had to resort to ordering fabric online for a shirt I am making for my Agatha Harkness cosplay. I hated not being able to feel the fabric. Ordering a sample was too pricey as I only needed 2 yards for the shirt. Upon opening the package I could tell the fabric is a bit more crisp than I would like. I am hoping it is only the sizing and a good wash in hot water will cure that. I need to tea dye part of the fabric as the shirt is two toned.

 

In other news, all the Joann Fabrics around me are either closed or will close soon. The only option for me will be buying fabric online and I hate that. 

Are your Joann’s stores closing? What are your options for fabric shopping? Do you like being able to see and touch the fabric you buy in person?

No Buy Day

Looks like a national NO BUY day will be Feb. 28th.

I am trying to be more mindful of where I purchase from as well. More small businesses and as local as I can. 

Will you be participating? Have you made a pledge to buy more from small businesses? Let me know in the comments.

Seasons Change

Now is a good time to buy cold weather staples. Many store have them up on clearance. Anthropologie has many nice tops, sweaters, and layering pieces on sale. Sizes are getting limited so I had to order one top in a large. I will take it in. The style is simple so it will be easy. 

Will you be buying any basics on clearance or will you be looking for something more fun? Let me know in the comments.

Transitional Clothes

The weather here is already getting warmer. Spring will be here before you know it. I added a few items to my wardrobe that can be pared down for mild days and added to for cooler evenings. (I may make a small commission off of affiliate links)

Allegra K Blouse

Blouse from Amazon can be worn as is, or have a cardigan or sweater popped on top for warmth.

Lindsey Skirt

This skirt from JCPenney is a great weight for transitional seasons. I overdyed it to make it a couple shades darker. For me, the green was a bit too bright. It turned out so well!

Reef Sweater Vest

I ordered this sweater vest from Poshmark. It can be wore over a camisole or tee and for cooler days layered over a long sleeve top. 

What are your go-to transitional items? Do you layer? 

Let me know what you think.
