Pretty Prints

Wednesday, March 28, 2012







I finally decided to wear one of the dresses I purchased from my spring florals post.  I was so torn this morning trying to decide which belt to wear with it; I changed from yellow, to red, back to pink.  I am still thinking the red looked better but of course I was running late so I stuck with the pink.  I love the pattern of this dress and I can’t wait to remix with a bright colored blazer or cardigan.  And speaking of florals I nabbed a really cute floral blazer on eBay! I also found a pleated floral skirt too, still no luck with the floral pencil skirt but I am thinking about making one using Mimi’s tutorial.  I have already ordered fabric to make a striped version of her skirt. Make sure you guys check out Mimi’s blog, her sewing skills are amazing and her style is impeccable.  I always look forward to her daily outfit posts!  

I don’t know if I have ever mentioned this to you guys but I have dreams of making my own clothes one day.  I was gifted a fabulous sewing machine two years ago, and I have yet to make a thing. I even made a little sewing nook in my apartment, but real life took over and I didn’t have the extra time to dedicate to my new hobby.  I am really looking forward to diving back into sewing once I graduate, maybe even take a few classes.

You look beautiful.. are you slimming down too chica?? Any color belt would have looked awesome with this dress, but I think Pink is def a great pop of color.

This dress cute and chic! I think it would have looked good with either color belt! And you definitely can 'remix' it lots of ways. I can't wait!

 I like that your dresses are never too long or too short, always just the right length! I checked out Mimi's blog. Wow! She makes me want to start sewing again. I have a machine but use it mostly for alterations. Hmmm maybe this weekend....

Cute! And you could have worn either one of those belts on the black and white print and it would have looked great. I have purchased way too many black and white dresses for the Spring, but I love how they look with yellow, red, blue, and green accessories!
