1 top, 4 ways - Second edition

Hi!

I have been eyeing a top with peepholes for quite some time now and I finally got around to making one. It was so very challenging!!! After a few failed attempts with using bias tape on the peepholes and 3 failed attempts at setting the sleeves, I was about ready to give up, but I am happy I didn't.

This top is not as versatile as the chiffon t-shirt, but it can still be used in several different ways.

Here are some tops that have a similar vibe: BCBG in purple, or this BCBG dress with a similar neckline and beautiful color, this Trina Turk Women's Linnet Blouse, or this Kenneth Cole Bright Print Top. You can check the whole selection here.

Love these black earrings!

And I really adore these shoes!!!

Aren't they a-m-a-z-i-n-g?

Love,

Sam

Layering for Fall - and becoming a chiffony

Hi!

I finally finished a top I started a while ago, a beautiful georgette print that I got from The Common Thread.

I have a love-hate relationship with these fabrics. While I love the look of a sheer top, sewing and caring for them is not easy. If you follow Project Runway, you know that there was a clique forming who would only use chiffon and silk on everything. Am I becoming one of them? Oh no!

They do make for great layering pieces, which are a must here in Austin, as the weather starts to cool down.

What I am wearing:

Cardigan - J.Crew

Top - made by me 

Jeans - Banana Republic

Shoes - Madewell

Love,

Sam
