Newport, RI

today i had a fun adventure with Liz. we traveled up to Newport on dinner plans and a movie. ended up with lots of great stories....

first, stop at dunkin donuts, the lady gave me tea with no teabag (which was simply hot water, milk, and sugar)

second, we met an elvis creeper at the fudge shop. and liz tormented him to make the situation more awkward.

third, we sat next to these old men at dinner. and they, as liz said, chatted us up.

it was a great adventure. lifes always interesting with liz around.

wore my green tartan skirt with the gold zipper. acne shirt, sheer tights, and mom's wedding shoes.

and i've just realized that the first photo was taken exactly where my parents were married. these shoes have returned to their origin!

zipped black skirt

you could probably tell i have a minor obsession with zippers. oh yes.

i finally got around to making this skirt. i've loved gina tricot's version of it with a silver zipper, but alas, i don't live in any Scandinavian country and am not in reach of it. so i made one... 

my first form fitting skirt! and i'm quite proud of it. elastic waists are nice, but they only create one silhouette and that gets boring after awhile.

tank: H&M

skirt: self made

shoes: old navy

sunglasses: vintage market

red puff skirt!

heres my skirt that i finished last night. the red fabric is some sort of nylon while the black on the bottom is satin. its comfortable and very puffy. today i set out to make my first form-fitting piece: a black pencil skirt. i'll post that later....

in the photo i'm wearing it with the sheer zipper back shirt i made a week ago :)

top: self made

plaid is so hot for fall

i'm really loving plaid. since i've bought yards and yards of fabric to make skirts for my business, which is developing quite slow, i got off my lazy ass and made this one today. i'm in the middle of making another one, which will be shown later.

i went for the green plaid, which is more of a flannel material. mm soft! i added in this exposed zipper for decoration (not practicality). it turned out cute! i think i will sell it soon.

skirt: self-made
