Day 6 was my day off. I stayed home and soaked up the air-conditioning all day!
Top: Hand-knit Coachella, made from Louisa Harding Albero yarn in color #02 Rice
Earrings: Beaded by me
Pants: Old, from Target
I made two of these Coachella tops a few summers ago. Once you figure out the crazy sizing (hint: believe it when it says you need to make it 7" smaller around than your actual bust), it's simple to knit.
Day 7 is a normal work day, but I managed to slip out for a rare lunch with my BFF. Yay!
Necklace: Me-made "Chicklette" necklace, available in my Stacybeads Etsy shop
Tee shirt: Bought at Target
Skirt: McCall's 5631; Frida's Garden cotton print by Alexander Henry
I love this skirt! Not just because of the Frida print, but also because of all the colors. Here it is with a teal top and yellow necklace, but I can also do a yellow top with green accessories, green with orange, orange with teal, etc. etc.! So versatile for a color-loving gal like myself. The waistband is solid black, which creates a belt-like effect without my having to wear an actual belt. :)
Great knit top. I wish I could knit like that. I love the print on your skirt too.
