Making It Work
Because summer has decided to hold on for another month, today's wardrobe Wednesday post still showcases summer attire. I must admit to being a little tired of my summer gear and trying to put together office appropriate clothing after 3 weeks on the job is getting a little monotonous. Although winter is my least favourite seasons, I must confess to looking forward just a little bit to breaking out the boots and knitwear. My winter sewing appetite has not yet been wet, so there may just be room for a couple of more summer items.
Today's making it work top comes from one of my all time favourite patterns, Vogue 1247. I know it is so, because as I type it, I can remember the pattern number off by heart. Great! More brain sludge! The skirt is another favourite and fits beautifully which is probably why it is a favourite. Comfort and good looks are always a winning combination in my book. This was made in blue linen using New Look 6918. I have discovered that open toe shoes are allowed in the office (you can never be too sure these days), so today, I am wearing beige leather wedges by Clarks.
I do have one more item to reveal before the end of March, but managed to spill something on it before I had a chance to photograph it, so watch this space!
This outfit looks really lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis outfit looks perfect for this very long summer. I think I might make shorts to bring on the cool weather:)
ReplyDeleteThank you. The shorts will do it! I am planning a camping trip. That should do it as well! I am not complaining though. I love summer mid thirties and all!
DeleteI love summer, sun, bare skin and bright colors and luminous ... This set looks great on you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. What's not to like bout summer really, I say!
Deletegreat work outfit. I know what you mean about the pattern numbers ,I can see an outfit on the net and know what pattern was used ( perhaps not the numbers ).One of my jobs means I can no longer wear open toed shoes because apparently it means we can not escape quickly enough -( this is a mental health job ) so sure wearing closed toe stilettos will be much better !( not that I own any )
