not so little LBD (and few tops too)


i'm all about simple things lately
simple silhouettes, simple lines, simple fabrics,
minimal jewelry, bold lipsticks (and a bitchface, apparently)


(with occasional smile)


first i've made a top, two months ago.. 
white one with black dots, 
that you can see in pics below..
pattern is from may issue of burda magazine (#111)
and i loved it, so i made another one
and then wore those two tops repeatedly
like i have no other items in my closet..
then it hit me that i should turn that pattern into a dress
and make my dressing up in the morning even more simple
no need to think which pants, shorts or skirt to wear with one of the tops
just put a dress on and call it a day..
it can't get more simple than that
(unless you're in a nudist camp in high summer
and dressing is totally unnecessary)


also made these pants
(trusty burda 07/2011/#102
first time in jersey fabric)
should make more of these too



so yeah.. i have my summer shit figured out
now only if summer would last forever

  4. *noted for next summer, which is about 8 months away for us Canadians*

    You should be in the dictionary under "effortless chic"
