OOTD: Woodlands and Fairies

Let me preface this outfit post by saying this is what happens when you are moving... And your moving destination is Alaska. I have packed away all of my summer clothes and did not account for the few days we have left in North Carolina... So that is why this outfit looks as if it should be posted in October and not May. For that I apologize! I bought this dress through eShakti during the winter season. Oddly enough, I found this incredible site though the internet while searching for wedding dresses. eShakti happens to offer the option of custom measurements which is why I adore this business! I am over 6 feet tall so as you can imagine clothes shopping for me is an absolute nightmare!  That to say, to anyone who has issues finding clothes that fit, I highly recommend checking out their site :)

 

Dress: eShakti

Boots: Frye

Belt: Raleigh Vintage

 I hope everyone is having a fantastic Monday!

OOTD: Working Girl

Hello, all! I have been sewing away these past days which I have been adoring :)  I am working on several commissioned projects as well as some personal ones which are what keep me going. I struggle with commissioned sewing projects.. Unless they are for loved ones! Usually, my distaste for commissioned work stems from being confined to rules and not having any creative freedom. If you are a seamstress have you experienced this feeling? It gets to the point where I have to completely psych myself up just to get started working on said projects! Truly.... I am working on this. Especially as I look into the future of desiring to start a business based from home.

While I adore getting dolled up in my vintage attire and setting my hair... Lately, you will find me in jeans, apron, my hair up in a scarf and little to no makeup.  With packing up the house and tons of projects going on it works for me! I have a million cute outfit posts in mind to photograph and write about I just haven't been able to snap pictures! Tonight Ethan started randomly taking photos of me while I was working so I decided to go ahead and write an outfit post of sorts. Since after all this is what I have been donning lately. 

Embroidery details on Ethan's Renaissance shirt. Can you tell I haven't embroidered in years?? Yikes! :/

Jeans: Eddie Bauer (Hoorah for 36 inch inseams!)

Shirt: Target

Camisole: Long Tall Sally

Head Scarf: Made by me

Earrings: Good ol' safety pins!

What have you been sewing lately?

What type of projects get you excited to work on? 

Have a wonderful evening!

OOS: Highlander meets 1950's

OOS: Also know as Outfit On Sunday :) I was exhausted yesterday and I completely forgot to post this so here we we go. 

I picked up this Pendleton skirt at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago for only $6. Yay! It also came with a matching scarf. When I woke up Sunday morning I was surprised to find the weather freezing cold. (at least that's what it felt like to me! We have been enjoying 80 degree weather lately) So I decided that I would bring out the lovely Black Watch for one more wear before the summer heat really sets in. 

Shirt: Target

Skirt: Estate sale find

Pearls: Thrifted

Shoes: Gift 

Have a delightful Monday!

Sunday OOTD: Southern Spring

Good afternoon! I hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday thus far. Sundays are one of my favorite days. The morning is filled with church,and the afternoon usually consists of a wonderful lunch and relaxation. Ever since getting married I relish Sundays more than ever! My love and I both work which means Sunday is our only true day of rest. Life has been unusually busy these past few weeks and I have been meaning to snap some photos of a couple great new vintage clothing pieces I have acquired! However, I have just not had the time. Today I knew I must get some photos in a new dress from my sister Casey. While not vintage, the style is undeniably inspired. :) 

Plus, it's black and white...which means the different color schemes I can work with for future outfits are endless! Of cores for my first wear I chose splashes of red. 

 

Dress: Target

Scarf: Estate sale find
