Pants by me


You see the pair of pants I'm wearing? Well I proudly announce that I made it mysef. I started making it 2 summers ago and I can't remember what pattern I followed. I have a suspition it's the pair I drafted mysef after watching a couple of utube videos.

The half finished project somehow disappeared until a month ago. I slowly sew all pieces together and fitted it on me a coupe of times and suddenly I had a pair of pants I sew mysef

This pair has absolutely great fit but the photos don't do it justice. I plan to wear it again soon so you get a better look of the fabric as well. The fabric is 70s vintage given to me by my aunt a proffessional seamstress.

Detail inspiration

When things get complicated it's a grand time to experiment with style. After all it's the little details that save our day! So this is what I did over the weekend for some quality me time...


 I experimented with make up inspired by 50s make up trends. I find this an easy to follow and glamorous routine. Those ladies knew how to look good!



 Then it was time for some hair style make over inspired by the  40s. Bandana and pumped up front ,bobypins and voila an inspired look to get me through the week.



 Later I put together an outfit also inspired by 50s that is a pale blue twin set I thrifted some time ago and a lace collar I crocheted in the winter for my daughter but she doesn't seem to appreciate. Oh! those Zara kids!



And the final touch were some colorful bangles and two tone nails.
What did I do dressed like that? Well, I served dinner of course and everybody felt welcome and well cared of.
Happy week, everyone!!!
