Some doodling...

So I've been doodling on the train... this is what I wore yesterday.  I've been working on my faces, what do you think?  I think I'm happy with them.  I think I'm also happy it is friday.

Flip This Dress: OOTD

You may remember this vintage find from a few months ago:

Well I flipped it a few weeks and and now finally am wearing it - I wish I didn't wait this long, because I love it!  I removed the school-marm sleeves and clean finished them underneath that little shoulder fold.  I kept that detail because I think its cool.  Then I shortened the whole thing by about 9 feet.  Then I added a little bias strip at the bottom edge for a little fun detail.  Excuse the terrible iPhone pics, I misplaced the camera once again...

  This is tall-me wearing it.

Outfit Of The Day: Friday

Fridays I like to choose my outfits based on how closely they feel to actual pajamas.  Like if I closed my eyes, could I picture myself slipping into a nap on the couch? I could.  I'm in weekend-mode in my head by about 2:15pm on Thursday, so Fridays at work I like to keep it super comfortable. And warm.  It's like 20 degrees in my office.

You can't go wrong with a long cardigan - I wear this one almost everyday at some point, whether to work or in the sewing room (the temperature in there is all over the place).  I'm always wrapped in a scarf, this ecru one being one of my favorites.  This dress-ish piece (too short to be a dress, too long to be considered a peplum top) is made from a super soft knit lace, so its office appropriate and also extremely cozy.  I added some low shearling-trimmed boots so I didn't feel like a total slob.

cardigan: old navy, dress/shirt thing & leggings: cotton on, boots/bag/scarf: h&m
