Handmade

Wore this yesterday--

























Aviators, Dita Flight (from Therapy)
Top, Sola
Skirt, made by me!
Necklace, Therapy
Shoes, Sofft



I'm loving the resurgence of high-waisted skirts...classic, flattering, and versatile--even in this nutty marbled print!  I made this a couple months ago and it has quickly become part of my regular rotation.  Works with a basic tank and flat sandals too, which is basically my everyday uniform in these sweltering Texas summers!

Even better, every time I wear it I'm asked "I love your skirt, where did you get that?"...and I love being able to say "Oh, actually I made it!".

A fresh, blank sheet of thick paper

Lots of changes going on over here.  Just started a new job last week...going well so far!

I recently scored this great Lara Miller top at a swap...so excited about it!  I actually sold this to one of my girlfriends a few years ago when I was working at Therapy, an amazing (and sadly retired) S. Congress boutique.  It's made from sustainable seaweed/bamboo jersey, aaaand you can style it so many different ways!  I think you'll be seeing this again in various forms :)
