Hello Rialto

I'm packing to spend the weekend swing dancing at the stunning 1920s Rialto Theatre! If I skip a song I'll be drooling at the architecture. My outfit is, of course, flapper inspired, with this gold skirt that I added fringe to. 

Tomorrow night is a masquerade ball! I made this mask out of faux leather that I painted gold and embossed with a single hole punch! Ha! I made it to be compatible with my glasses. So excited for this swing fest!

Eyes to the Soul Skirt-to-Be

Today I received my Spoonflower order of three yards of my Eyes to the Soul fabric on Basic Cotton Ultra. I'm gonna make it into a skirt! Woo!

Surface Pattern Pun

This cheery print is on a pencil skirt I bought at a thrift store..how perfect! I love humourous designers! 

Sheer Mint Skirt

 I created this gathered, sheer, mint green skirt, complete with a satin waistband. It's just something frivolous and glamorous for spring!



Little Red Riding Skirt

This skirt is like something from a fairy tale. As unbelievable as it may sound, I found the vintage Ralph Lauren beauty at Value Village for $6--quite the deal!

I adore the skirt's pleats and rich color. It is made of warm wool. Plus, the length and weight is fabulous because I don't have to be concerned about it ballooning up with the slightest breeze! It's a great skirt for twirling and, of course, waltzing through the forest on the way to Grandma's.

This photo was taken just before something ran out of the bushes towards me.

The Big Bad Wolf took me by surprise! I screamed, but that scream quickly morphed into laughter as I realized the irony of the situation. My mom and I chatted with the dog's owner for a few minutes before she and her dog continued their walk.

This wolf was hardly big or bad. Instead, he was a hilariously perfect addition the photoshoot.
