SSS Day 25 and 26

Outfit: Anthropologie inspired tee (with ruching) and cord pants
Plans: Visit the Gold Coast to visit family holidaying and to book a unit for our annual Christmas holidays. It wasn't exactly beach friendly, but it was comfortable and warm enough during the winds and light shower.

Outfit: Beige cotton lycra tee (kwik sew 3003, vee neck version) and bonds tracksuit pants. I later changed into a beige short sleeve tee and black cotton skirt.

Plans: Today I dyed, raked up some grass and pottered around the house, hence the house clothes.

SSS Day 24

Outfit: Red wool blend pants (Burda), rayon elastance tee.
Plans: grocery shopping, hanging out with my SIL and 3 nephews

Yesterday I wore old, me made clothes. This morning when I was washing windows and dyeing, I wore an old black cotton lycra tee and red stretch cotton poplin pants.

Outfit: New black wool dress and metallic cardi
Plans: I cleaned this morning in my PJs then dressed up to drop the kids at SIL for a playdate. DH is taking me to the movies.

Black wool blend dress

I used the same Burda dress pattern as my rainbow dress - bascially a princess seamed, A-line dress. The straps are from Burda too but they are supposed to be pleated and I like them sewn in flat. I had to add to the length of them, but I did make them a little too long and now they slip off.

The fabric is a wool lycra fabric that I have had stashed since my uni days. I think I would have bought it from Lincraft. I lined it in a cotton nylon fabric.

SSS Day 21

Outfit: Rayon elastane knit dress. I made the pattern by morphing a top and skirt from Kwik Sew (3003 and 3032 I think). I think the top and skirt would have been more flattering on me, but I only realised after it was made.
Plans: Going to SILs to get my hair cut and coloured.

SSS Day20

Outfit: Pink rayon (?) elastane knit tee with grey wide leg burda pants
Plans: Birthday cake prep, small family party for Scott and FIL, my parents over for birthday dinner.

Karen - it wasn't really warm enough for cotton voile yesterday!

SSS Day 19

Outfit: White cotton lycra tee (modified kwik sew), cotton voile gored skirt (burda)
Hair:Pin curls set.

Plans: Shopping

There is no picture from day 18. When I finally got dressed, I wore an black velour skirt (ahem, old maternity one), a beige tee and a grey marle hoodie. I did not even brush my hair. It was not a good day.

SSS Day 17

Outfit: Kwik Sew jumper (sweater knit) and modified Kwik Sew skirt (rayon elastane knit)
Plans: School drop off, grocery shopping, chores at home

SSS Day 16

Outfit: Anthropologie inspired tee (based on a Kwik Sew pattern) and cotton paisley print skirt (Burda)
Plans: Help out in Jalisa's class with guided reading group, tutoring this afternoon.

SSS Day 15

Outfit: Cotton voile peasant top (Burda) and cotton washer canvas shorts ( modified Burda)
Plans: School drop off, into work on my day off and special lunch for my boss who is getting married on Saturday.
