Day 7: Burda Navy Floral A-line Skirt
I specifically bought this fabric with Hawaii in mind and it was fun to actually get to wear it on vacation.
Day 8: Kwik Sew Frankenpattern Blue Knit Dress
Comfy little tank dress that was perfect for the hot and humid evening. You'll notice a real lack of accessories (but the same two pairs of shoes) in these outfits - it was just too hot to wear more than the bare minimum of clothing. Heh.
Day 9: Kwik Sew Multi-color Racerback Knit dress
Here is one of the dresses that I was raving about before I left for vacation. Love it so much! I would have been content to wear a version of this dress every day in Hawaii, but that would have gotten a little boring, I guess.
Day 10: DVF Tank Dress (aka The Anniversary Dress)
Happy 5 Year Anniversary to us! This is another version of the DVF tank dress I made earlier this year. This one was made specifically for our anniversary dinner with the notion that it would also be a great work dress - one that would work in warm or cool temps.
Day 11: Kwik Sew Multi-color Racerback Knit dress
See, told you I love this dress. ;) As a side note, I don't know what my hair and face were doing. Ugh.
Day 12: Kwik Sew Striped Racerback Dress
Perfect casual dress for lunch at Mama's Fish House, the same beach where we got engaged 6 years ago. :)
Day 13: Burda Goldfish Mini Skirt
The crazy skirt in action. I still maintain that it's a ridiculous garment, but I love it. It was really comfortable to wear and I'd happily make it again in another print.
Day 14: Burda Mardras A-line Skirt
I've worn this skirt to death this summer and it was a nice easy piece to bring with me on vacation. I'm just kicking myself that I didn't get more of this fabric in a different color - it's really perfect for miserably hot summer days.
Day 15: Kwik Sew Striped Racerback Dress
Oops! Forgot to take a picture that night. Just see Day 12.
Day 16: McCall's Cream Scoop Neck Tank
My super comfy travel outfit - Lululemon Define Jacket, Still Pants, and a self-stitched tank. Made the 6 hour flight a little easier.
Lovely lovely photos and great self stitched garments - and is that you reading a real book?
