Dream of my Jeanie

I made this pair of black jeans when I was a wee bit younger. ...ok, a lot younger. 7 years younger! Wow where has the time gone? I did this for the University of Minnesota Lao New Year fashion show. Looking at it (and wearing it) now I am pretty proud with how well it fits and my sewing was not bad at all. I really need to make more versions soon! Don't you think? By the way, I love the shirt I am wearing here. It's so relaxingly comfortable yet the cut on the sides adds a touch of style. Got it from a cute cute store called Fashion of Echo down the street from my place. Definitely checking that place out again.

January weather, really?

I cannot believe the weather in January here in Southern California. Everywhere else north east of us have been forecasting the ice caps and I am doing a post with light layers focused on this fringe owl number and stretchy lace leggings I designed. So there you go!
