Drop It Like It's

I hadn't made men's clothes in a long time so I am really excited to do this post. The piece I made is the super cool super relaxed drop crotch sweat pant. It's an updated version of a style I made before which was also posted on this blog. To create the contrasting details on the pocket I used the underside of the french terry fabric for the pocket details and once dyed each side of the fabric took the color differently.  I'm pretty proud of the result.

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!

Fur'k, baby it's cold outside: 3 outfits/1 little black dress

I made this dress way awhile ago and am now just finally posting it. I love the sexy cut-out design giving the body illusion of impossible curves. There is an elegant feeling given by the long sleeves, high neck line, and lace all over. A great piece to wear on a cool breezy summer night on a date or a special event might I say!

I thought I should end the year with a bang and do three outfits for my last post of the year withis pretty little number. Bare with me because there are LOT'S OF PICTURES. Let me know which one you like:) Can you tell which one's my fave?

simple and easy, right?

THE END...phew!

Fashioning ugly sweater

I find beauty in ugly sweaters. To me they add such a fun quirkiness to an outfit. Somehow I feel I am not alone in this infatuation. Am I right? I actually wish I have more of them in my closet to wear on regular days. This fun festive sweater was made for my work's ugly holiday sweater day which received amazing reactions. I even inspired a coworker to borrow the bulbs from our work Christmas tree to decorate her own sweater and others that wished they had thought of the idea. I think I'm going to make more and accumulate them so I can wear different ones each day next time the holidays come around. Even better is to throw an ugly sweater decorating party! How fun would that be?!

Have a fabulous holiday season!

OUTFIT: sweater: urban outfitters, mittens: nordstrom rack, plaid: old navy, legging and boots: santee alley
