I love a lazy Sunday – I didn’t get properly dressed until we went out for dinner! I don’t have any self-stitched loungewear (yet) but it’s on my long, long list of things to make. Today was Mr Sewaholic’s father’s birthday, so I dressed up a bit! Lots of shine today.
What I’m Wearing:
- Self-Stitched Blouse: Pendrell from Sewaholic Patterns (soon to be released!) in royal blue silk
- Skirt: Club Monaco, purchased recently
- Boots: Aldo, from my sister’s closet
See the blouse in the original Sewaholic Patterns announcement here!
Q&A:
Q. What’s the best part of today’s outfit?
A. It’s shiny! Who doesn’t like a little sparkle? It’s super easy to wear, as it’s just a pullover blouse and a loose fitting skirt, but because of the fabric choices it’s dressy enough for dinner. The skirt has pockets, too. Definitely an essential feature to my own skirt design!
Q. Where did you go today in your Self-Stitched outfit?
A. Out for dinner with Mr. Sewaholic’s entire family, to Da Mario’s in Vancouver. Italian food – yum! Before dinner, we went for a walk around the neighborhood and ended up at a playground – a perfect place to snap some photos!
Q. What did you have for dinner?
A. I had gnocchi with meat sauce – doughy and delicious! This outfit left plenty of room for food, which makes it a success in my books!
Q. Can we see the back view of the blouse?
A. You bet! Here are a few more shots of the Pendrell blouse:
Back view above, side view below. Looking at these photos now, I’d like the blouse tucked into a higher-waisted skirt..
Serious face in the next photo, but a great shot of the blouse!
And a little fun on the playground, too!
You look lovely. Very sparkly and festive indeed!
Adorable!
Mmmmm. Gnocchi! A skirt that leaves room for… expansion… is a keeper!
Very cute. The blouse is just gorgeous.
I love the blouse so much – cannot wait for the pattern to be released!
It’s really darling and my husband just walked in the room and said, “Who is that cutie?” You look superb and your outfits are looking really great this September! I love how much creativity you had in May and I think you have even more here September! It’s a lovely thing. A really lovely thing. And that blue really brings out those eyes.
You’re right– shiny is always good. ;-)
Thanks everyone! @The Cupcake Goddess: That is such a nice compliment, thanks to Mr. S!
