This is my last day of OWOP, only three days late. This was actually day six but I posted day seven first so I could post about my Mad Men dress before the deadline. Thanks for your comments on my last post. It's nice to know other people feel the same way.
This is a pretty boring outfit. I find it really hard to think of exciting outfits with separates because I wear dresses most of the time. I wore my London blouse with a self-drafted skirt, op shopped cardigan and Golden Ponies t-bars.
I think my lesson from OWOP is that I need more plain skirts. I have lots with crazy and colourful prints but they don't go with all my printed blouses so I'm pretty much limited to my one grey skirt and one black skirt. I tend not to buy plain fabrics because I don't find them exciting, so I have a whole wardrobe of prints that all clash, and not in a good way.
And lucky last is super adorable too! Love all your outfit posts this week. Your style is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kat. I was worried that my outfits were a bit boring and repetitive so I'm glad you liked them.
DeleteThat blouse is completely adorable. I am SO envious of your sewing talents, all the clothes you make are so cute. I desperately need some new blouses like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Some of clothes I make don't turn out cute but those get stuffed to the back of the wardrobe.
DeleteSuper cute skirt. I don't really have any plain skirts either which really does limit what tops I can wear with them. I love the cut of that skirt on you. You look fabulous as ALWAYS! Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yeah, plain skirts seem hard to find, or maybe I just don't look for them hard enough. Thanks, I really must make another version of it.
DeleteJust caught up on reading your blog and am really impressed with your OWOP outfits. I love, love, love the London blouse and the birds nest skirt. I think you have great style!
ReplyDeleteThanks Penny-Rose. The London blouse is one of my favourites.
DeleteSo glad to have found you and your blog madly in love with vintage, ahhhhhhhh.
ReplyDeleteFollowing and adding you to my blogroll this second, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Thanks! I'm glad you found me because now I can read your awesome blog too.
DeleteIt looks like you had a really successful OWOP week. I love that you picked a vintage blouse pattern. All the different versions look great:)
ReplyDeleteThanks. After seeing your OWOP pattern I thought why didn't I pick a circle skirt because I've made quite a few of those too.
DeleteI like the pattern mixing here. I need to remember to add more leopard print back into rotation. I thrifted a pullover version of your sweater a few weeks back, but I am super envious of it as a cardigan.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Leopard print is the best. You could make it into a cardigan. I vaguely remember seeing a tutorial somewhere on the net about turning a pullover into a cardigan.
DeleteI don't think this outfit is unexciting, I really like your print mixing!
ReplyDeleteI also am attracted to printed fabrics and have a whole closet of printed fabrics and so few Plain but that's just what I love!
Thanks! The print mixing was mostly an accident. It's almost impossible not to mix prints with my wardrobe.
DeleteMaybe it is not kosher to comment on your personal looks, but I just love your little birdy legs, and your wry facial expressions. You have such a cute little face * pinches cheek*
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks. It's funny because I hate my chicken legs. I think my facial expressions come across as grumpy even when I'm not but 'wry' is a much better word.
DeleteListen, my whole life people have been asking me.."Are you mad?" I can be thinking about, let's see, my next knitting project, that delicious left-over pork chop in the fridge, etc. I think it's my black eyebrows and hooded eyes. I tried smiling all the time, but just ended up looking psychotic.
DeleteSo, don't worry about it.
I love this, you mix patterns so well. I've really liked this wee series you've done:)
