What we Wore: Handmade skirts!

I made this skirt for Angela for her birthday! It's the first one I ever made --before I learned how to make the style of the one I'm wearing below. This was last Saturday, the day of a baby shower we were attending and the evening of our trio birthday party including Bean's mama. We both wore our handmade skirts (not on purpose!) and thought it would be fun to share how we each styled our handmade piece!

Angela paired her floral skirt with a super cute peter pan top, and a big black belt. Canvas oxfords complete this spring inspired look! I paired my khaki colored skirt with a black + peach polka dot crop top. I added accessories (like my hat + bow belt) in blacks in browns to pull the look together. I wore sandals for the first time this season, and the sun felt soo good on my toes!

I am seriously having so much fun making things! (Confession: I've already made 4 different skirts in different patterns/colors!) Although it's super fun, I think I'm ready to move onto something a little bit different..dresses! We plan on sharing more outfits together on here, including things we've made, and just regular outfits. I hope you don't mind! Angela has a pretty awesome wardrobe, too!

xo, Meghan + Angela. 

What I wore: Details, Blonde, + Handmade

So, this week I found myself in Joannes browsing fabrics, which is where I find myself a lot. Then I found the fabric. The pretty, floral cotton fabric that I knew I wanted to make something other than a bow or pouch with. I wanted to wear this fabric. I set out to the patterns, frantically searching for a pattern for a high waist skirt (I start to go a little crazy when I get excited!) and found a pattern that I thought was basically what I needed. When I got home, I realized that I had only gotten 1.25 yards of fabric, and the pattern called for 2+ yards. I was super bummed, and about to just toss the pattern and then I remembered! My super wonderful neighbor sews clothes for her little girls. Two different fabrics, two days, and a yummy Mexican dinner later, we decided to just toss the pattern and make it ourselves! I couldn't be any happier with it, it's just so adorable, and exactly what I wanted! I defiantly want to make a few more in solid colors, and nothing feels better than making something yourself. A big thanks to my awesome neighbor + friend is who helped me create this!
