Patterned Skirt and Black Shirt

Hello! You may realize that it’s Tuesday and I usually post about outfits on Monday… but that’s just the way things went! 😉 So anyway, today we’ll be taking a look at an outfit I wore recently featuring a patterned skirt and black shirt. Let’s get started! For this outfit I wanted something that felt like fall and would be…

Drafting a Bodice Pattern

Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at my process of drafting a bodice pattern. Let’s get started! The first step in the process (for me at least) was to lay out the shape that I wanted using ribbon. Then I filled in the shapes with scraps of material. Those scraps of material then had to be…

Polka Dot Maxi

Hello again! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at a polka dot maxi I wore recently. Let’s get started! This outfit was a little different than what I usually wear, but I actually really liked it! (I’ve worn this dress once before, but as a skirt. I’ll link to that post here.) I put this outfit together…

Tucked-in Shirt and Denim

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit featuring a tucked-in shirt and denim. Let’s get started! This is the first outfit that I put together using my recently altered skirt (I’ll put a link to those sewing posts here and here.) I don’t normally tuck in my shirts, since usually I feel like it’s…

Tiered Skirt and Green Shirt

Hello again! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit featuring a tiered skirt and green shirt. Let’s go! I just recently purchased this skirt, and I’m having a little trouble figuring out how to style it. Even with this outfit I wasn’t entirely satisfied with how it looked (but there comes a point where you…

Green Dress with Gold Accessories

Hello again! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit I wore recently: a green dress with gold accessories. Let’s get started! I recently bought this dress as a result of my search for clothes with pockets. That search was actually harder than I though it would be, since it seems that there’s an alarming number…

Denim Skirt Alteration

Hello again! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at a denim skirt alteration. Let’s get started! This is the skirt I started out with. As you can see, it’s a little strange looking. The asymmetrical details where the gathered material met the smooth material really wasn’t a good look. So I decided to change that. I started…

Flowered Shirt and a Brown Maxi

Hello again! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit featuring a flowered shirt and a brown maxi. Let’s get started! With this outfit (which I wore to church) I tried a combination I’d never done before. In fact, I’d never actually worn the skirt before! I liked it, although it is a little shorter than…

Handmade Circle Skirt and Heels

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit that features a handmade circle skirt and heels. Let’s get started! This skirt is actually a half circle skirt, but that’s just a technicality. 😉 Somehow I didn’t take any photos of the sewing of this skirt, so it won’t be making a Simply Saturday appearance. But,…

Top 5 Outfits of the Spring

Hello! Today I’ll be showing (in no particular order) my top 5 outfits of the spring, out of the ones I posted here on the blog. Let’s get started! First up we have this outfit (I’ll link to the original post here.) I like this outfit since it’s a good transitioning-from-colder-weather-to-warm-weather combination. The dress certainly looks like spring; but since…
