Just sign on the dotted line

Built by Wendy has been one of my favorite lines for quite a few years, Wendy Mullin definitely inspired me to start sewing more and make my own clothes (I've been able to sew forever but during elementary and middle school I just hated it and the look of homemade clothes) and I lust after almost every single one of her pieces each season, her are some of the looks for this spring, and this is cutting it down to my very favorites.

You make me want to measure stars in the backyard with a cacluator and a ruler .

Well this my millionth post about spring, but seeing as it was over 70 degrees today and there is only 19 days until the official start of spring I figure it is the only one that really matters.
I seriously think that these clothes would be all I'd need to get through spring and summer. Now if only I had about a million and six dollars.

I know this picture has been up here before,
I love it despite it reminding me of my lack of a lace slip dress and cowboy boots.

There hasn't been a post in a super duper long time (but really only 5 days) because school has been killing me, ripping my soul out and stomping on it with steal toed cleats, (actually its been more like crampons, the steal spikes that you strap to the bottom of your boots when winter mountain climbing, oh yes mountain climbing dork right here). but I have a three day weekend which besides the 1286934674 pounds of school work I have to do I might get some sewing done.

I am thinking about summer too much, and its been such a downer because I can't wear anything summer related due to the snow that's dumping right now. I have worn wool socks, Birkenstock clogs, cardigans and scarfs internally too much, like pretty much every day this week. It needs to get warmer soon, I am tired of this bipolar 'lets be warm one week and snow the next' weather.

Wow what a great weather rant, I really have nothing to say about fashion lately,
Oh but on Wednesday my mom came home with a box, like a jumbo can barely be carried by one person box, full of fabric. This lady that somehow knew my mom, was cleaning out her basement and found a massive box full of fabric, she didn't want it and she gave it to us without even looking at it. I was semi-hopeful for some epic stuff but when we opened it up the only good things were a few yards of super nice black silk jersey, and some of the same in olive green, and a million yards of purple linen. Also in there were some half made shirts, one is in a fabric I really like the wrong side of, so I'll see what can be managed with that. disappointing, but I guess for free fabric, some high-quality jersey is pretty great.

I'll try to have a great post up on Monday, okkkaayyy?

we won't last forever, we're changing everyday.

I guess if you wish hard enough dreams do come true. This morning when I got up and listened to the weather I found out that it was going to be almost 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 Celsius).

So when I got dressed I picked this out in honor of the warmth.
(I still put on tights however, because this time of year my legs are sickly white.)

Debbie Miller for Rigo dress worn as top. Skirt made by me and Eilowny. ???Tights.

My orchestra class took a field trip to the symphony. We were required to dress up, and by that I mean we weren't aloud to wear jeans or sweatpants.
What a funny thing it is when your everyday clothes are dresser than your classmates' dressy clothes. I thought I dressed pretty casual today too.

Today was a good day.

Craving Sunshine.

When it gets warmer this is what I want to be wearing everyday,
honestly I can't wait till spring.
no jackets, no tights, only a couple months away...

I have been a terrible, terrible blogger lately, and I apologies.
to make it up to you I'll put up pictures that have been inspiring outfits lately, that is when I haven't been wearing black dresses for theater(the costume girls are oh so chic, and wear their blacks to match), and sweatpants because it's been so very cold and snowy lately.
a sewing DIY project up soon I promise, it will be epic as well.










Can you tell I'm trying to bring a bit more spring into my wardrobe? It's not working so great, I'm looking more like the first picture most days.
