IN THE NAVY...NAVY BLUE THAT IS!!!

Lately, I am so in love with the color navy blue. I've been searching for the perfect navy blue bag to no avail. I almost bought a pair of navy blue loafers from Zara for $29.99, but they were a shiny patent leather.  What I did find is this stretchy polyester floral fabric from Unique for $3.99. Initially, I was thinking wrap dress, but I'm not there yet. So I decided to make a body hugging skirt.

I used/traced one of my pencil skirts as the pattern and sewed up the seams.

The waist was a little flimsy, but didn't require elastic, so I used

 about 4 inches of this stretchy navy blue material as the waistband.

I made it wide enough to fold down.

My photographer (dbass) went home sick.

So I was on my own.

I forgot to smile.

That's better.

ALL CREAM EVERYTHING

Recently I read an article about how to look like money. 

1. Look neat and clean. Messy never equals money.

2. Look ladylike, wear a pearl necklace or a simple stud earring.

3. Wear a nice perfume. Your scent will linger as you walk by.

4. Wear a statement necklace. It'll take jeans and a T-shirt to the next level.

5. Never wear fake fur. You're not fooling anyone.

6. Wear a monochrome color. All black, all grey and especially all white/cream.

Guess which one stood out to me? Number 6! Which prompted me to make this skirt.

The skater skirt process is always the same. Mark your hem line, cut out the waist line and cut a separate piece of fabric for the waistband. Not shown, but I added a lining, it was too see through.

Cream always rises to the top!
