Week 2 is over and I’m still going strong. Of course the warm weather the Pacific Northwest has been experiencing has helped a lot. I find it a lot more fun to sew and wear my warm weather clothes. On top of that I went down to Portland for the weekend so had to take that into consideration as well.
Day 6
-
Simplicity 2444 dress in floral cotton sateen
- I’m not really much of a floral girl in but there was something about the slightly abstract print and colors that I found intriguing and figured I should try something new. I haven’t worn this dress for a while because I feel weird wearing a dress with a white background and tights but can see it coming out of the closet more often now that the weather is nice.
Day 7
- Sewaholic Crescent skirt in blue seer sucker with added lining
- This is the skirt I spied in one of Tasia’s Minoru sewalong posts and had to have one of my own. The weather has finally warmed up I’m excited I can finally wear it. It also looked good with the grey hoodie I wore half the day which is always a plus for a casual skirt.
Day 8
-
Sewaholic Alma in pink seersucker with a white cotton Peter Pan collar
- I really like pink but haven’t made too much with it – maybe because I find it hard to find pink fabric I like that isn’t polyester. At home I was wearing it with army green cargo shorts but changed into this skirt when I ran some errands. I like both casual looks and think it will be easy to dress it up too.
Day 9
-
Sewaholic Crescent skirt in blue seersucker with added lining
- I can’t find the photo I took today of this outfit, but I wore the exact same thing as I did when I wrote my Crescents post. I really like how this turned out which is kinda obvious since I’ve worn in twice this week.
Day 10
-
Sewaholic Renfrew in turquoise stripe jersey
- Sewaholic Crescent skirt in white seersucker with added lining
- I headed down to Portland to visit my sister and spend Mother’s day with family. This was comfortable to wear while sitting in the car for a few hours and also walking around. Plus this outfit seemed puppy approved. (Although I may have bribed him with a walk...)
Day 11
-
Sewaholic Thurlow shorts in plaid seersucker
- At this point I think I’m ready to join the seersucker mafia or move to the South. This is the fifth day in a row I’ve worn some version of that fabric! So far May in the Pacific Northwest has been perfect seersucker weather which in my mind requires a warm weather. This outfit was perfect for the Beaverton farmers market and the dog park.
Day 12
- Sewaholic Renfrew in turquoise stripe jersey
- I can't believe this is only the 2nd day I've worn pants this month and the first I needed a (light) jacket. That hardly ever happens! The weather cooled down a lot today but this tee was great for yummy Mother's Day brunch and checking out the Portland rose gardens. Packing for this weekend was a bit of a challenge knowing about the temperature change but not wanting to pack too much and on top of that trying to avoid any exact repeats.
