On the fly today with plenty of excuses
why I'm still absent in from my usual haunts in the Blogosphere (only
one of which is any good: I've got to redo our business website from
scratch with a program I'm still learning and it's slow going. I've
added that to trying to figure out the best use of various new-to-me
social media as a replacement for traditional advertising. Whew.
Yes, indeed. )
What I Wore yesterday for the Sunday
trip to the Big-ish City
This is about as Bohemian as I've gone
in recent years. In the late 60s and all through the 70s, I had
periods of folky-ness with everyone else, and a full-on-but-brief
descent into an Earth Motherish period in the 90s. But since then,
not so much. So, just a touch of Boho here with the print and
paneled construction of this feather-weight skirt. It has a
smocked-elastic waist that goes several inches up under the crop top,
so no cami is necessary for modesty. Nice for the summer heat and
flattering at the waist.
The crop top is made with a substantial
embroidered lace front that holds it's structure. It's also very
soft and cool with a tee-shirting back panel. Easy-peasy and casual.
However, I did have to take up the hem
3 and 1/4 inches, which was a pistol because the skirt is made of
curved hem panels, lots of them. But that little challenge pales
compared to the amount of fabric that had to be hemmed. I measured
it twice just to make sure, 'cause I didn't believe it the first
time. The hem measures just a little over 33 feet around. Whew,
again. I'm no fool. I used the machine to hem this mother.

Back to the virtual grindstone. But

Stop by if you can ... it's so much
fun!
