plaid pinafore.

 I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point pinafores made a bit of a comeback. They have a ton of different names: jumper, skirtall, etc., but lately I've been all about them. 

Bonus Gizmo appearance.

What I'm wearing:

Pinafore: Hell Bunny via Poshmark

Turtleneck: H&M

Boots: Target

Necklace: J.Crew via eBay

I almost bought this pinafore new from Hell Bunny, but then I found one in my size, new with tags, on Poshmark! There are so many pieces of clothing that are new with tags (or new without tags) on secondhand sites like Poshmark and Thredup, so I've been trying to go there first when I'm looking for something specific. 

Speaking of finding things secondhand, I had coveted this necklace ever since Adina from Blue Collar Red Lipstick wore it and after some ebay sleuthing, I found it and snagged it! It was more than I'd usually pay for a necklace, but it was the only listing, and it's a very unique and well made piece. So expect to see it a lot more as I get my money's worth!

I've made one jumper style dress so far (yet to make an appearance on this here blog) but I've got at least 2 more in my sewing queue now.

holiday chic at home.

 This month has just flown by, honestly. I've been so busy baking cookies, sewing gifts, and shipping things out that blogging fell by the wayside a bit. But, I've still been fairly active over on Instagram, and even participated in my first style challenge! This one was called Holiday Chic at Home and was hosted by @styledbyempris and @4myform. It was a lot of fun and I'm pretty happy with how my outfits turned out, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite looks here. You can see the prompts here.

stars & faces.

 This set of outfit photos has been sitting in the backlog for farrrrr too long!

Photos by my husband.

What I'm wearing:

Top: made by me, Seamwork Bo pattern, Ruby Star Society rayon

Skirt: Harkel Clothing

Boots: ThredUp

Necklace: Target

These photos are from back in October which seems like forever ago now—I made this top the night before then! I got a little over a yard of this gorgeous rayon at a Finch Studio sale and made a sized down, cropped Bo top—it was such a quick sew and I've gotten so much better at sewing cuffs! I'm also pleasantly surprised at how much wear I've gotten out of this skirt—it goes with so many things and it's so comfortable.

Hope you're all doing well & staying healthy.
