When will winter get here?

Hi,

I would actually settle for Fall. But the heat is still with us in mid-November. So summer dresses and sandals are still in order. 

I love this dress in cotton, with the large exposed zipper. I made this by draping 3 years ago, but I never had the chance to wear it much. I love how fitted under the bust it turned out. 

Well, hopefully soon I will get to wear some layers and boots... Meanwhile, they stay in storage.

Love,

Sam

WIWW - Voting

Hi,

I hope that you voted!










I ended up waiting in line for about an hour and half, but it wasn't that bad. It was a little cooler here in Texas finally. Well, cool enough to wear jeans and a light cardigan, but that was about it.

The business development is going at a slow pace. Everything seems to take longer than I imagined, so my weekly goals are slowly falling behind schedule. But I should have some exciting news about the business in the upcoming weeks. So stay tuned.

As usual, today is Wednesday, so I am linking up with WIWW on The Pleated Poppy. Go check out some cool blogs!

Love,

Sam

Oxblood Pants

Hi,

It seems like the color of the season is oxblood. Although I love the somewhat whimsical name, let's not get fooled, it is maroon.

Here are some interesting looks from Style.com

And these amazing pants at Elle:
 So, I made these pants out of a really nice wool crepe I got at Mood





 I think oxblood looks really good with some contrasting colors, like blue and green. I am particularly fond of this green jade bracelet. This one with the dragon was a gift from my grandmother's, which she got in one of her many trips.

You can find some similar pant styles: Joie Women's Nailah Twill Trousers or Habitual Women's Alice Skinny.

I am linking up with the Monday Mingle today, so go check out some cool blogs.

Love,

Sam
