Day 12 was a work day at the yarn shop and then the start of my "weekend!"
Earrings: Me-beaded
"Rock'n'Roll Knitter" tee shirt: Gift from a friend
Skirt: Simplicity 5914; red linen blend
Bag: Thrifted
Shoes: Payless
I made this skirt last year and haven't worn it much because I recalled it being uncomfortably tight in the hips. Put it on today just to try it, and it seems a bit snug, but basically fine. So it's going back into my regular rotation. It's almost like having a new skirt. :) Might need to make more of these! The pattern suggests a wide variety of fabrics, including wool and corduroy, so this design could be a good possiblity for fall and winter.
Day 13: My day off. Woo-hoo! Escaping the heat at a matinee of Super 8.
Cardigan: Hand-knit Marigold from Interweave Knits using Cascade Ultra Pima cotton yarn
Skirt: McCall's 4783 in black linen/poly blend
Earrings: Me-beaded
Shoes: Cinderella of Boston, my go-to source for tiny, stylish shoes
The rounded corners of this photo are my homage to the 1970s after getting caught up in the period in Super 8. :) The colors of my outfit also look shifted a la the 70s, which was not on purpose. I tried to fix them but I kept making my skin look blue. You'll just have to trust me when I say my cardigan and shoes are red, and my skirt is black.
Super 8 was really good! Classic summer-style movie. Now I'm in the mood to curl up on the couch tonight with some popcorn and old-school Spielberg. I'm thinking Jaws or Close Encounters.
