Hi-low hem dress. Mullet Dress. Tomato. Tomah-to. I’m not sure how the rest of the world feels about this trend, but I flippin’ love it. I don’t know if it’s because asymmetry is fun or I like the idea of a butt flap. Either way, I knew I was destined to make and rock the… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: The Best Mullet Dress (of DOOM)
I’ve been on many business trips over the past 5 months with last week’s trip being the last for a while. Thank gawd. While I enjoy a chance to get out of the office, it would have been better to spread them out a bit. C’est la vie. For this Throwback Thursday post, I’m gonna… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: The “Don’t Hire Me” Suit

Happy almost-Halloween! One more day until I turn all of the lights off in my house and ignore the cries of “Trick or Treat!” at my door. Kidding. Almost. I’m gonna rock out with my awesome new costume and enjoy not being judged for dressing up for the night! So it’s Thursday, and as you… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: The Stuff of Nightmares
Lately it seems like I’ve been posting about “doom” projects. You know, those projects that are a little trickier than you’d like or that end up turning their back on you in the worst way. But don’t worry, this is the last one for a while — I promise! Enter Simplicity 1613 in January of… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: Simplicity Shirt of Doom
Have you had a project that both excited and scared you at the same time? This Cynthia Rowley dress –Simplicity 1607– was exactly that for me but I SEW WANTED TO WEAR IT TO MY AWESOME FRIENDS’ WEDDING!
