Wear again? Yes! It's still a bit chilly for this blouse, but it's going to be great for this summer! :D
It was pretty chilly so I topped it with a cardigan and my Freddie's of Pinewood capris. It really was too chilly for them to but I was so ready for summer!
Plus my hair was so cute! It deserved a nice outfit.
Terrific blouse! I just love the classic gingham.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for summer big time, but am hoping we'll get at least a few weeks of spring (it's something of an enigma here in Canada :D) first. It's always lovely to ease gently into each of the extremes of the weather spectrum.

Love it! I'm planning some summer blouse sewing, too, that is if I can keep up with my ever-growing list of dream wardrobe sewing ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute outfit. I know what you mean. I'm ready for warmer weather too. I already brought some of my spring/summer stuff up prematurely in hopes it may warm up. Is this your new hair tutorial coming up?
ReplyDeleteYup, this is the next hair tutorial.
DeleteVery cute and I do know the feeling of needing a quick sewing fix. I would love to have summer, but most of all I would like the temperature to stop being - 10 C (14F) - this is March, I want temperatures above freezing.

It looks great! I am just learning to sew and I believe a lovely '50's style blouse would be a perfect 2nd project. E.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm also working on some sweet summer projects, hoping to be able to wear them soon (but in Belgium the weather is freaking out)! Luckily there's a wedding in a few weeks so I've got an excellent excuse to be wearing my new dress!
