More Autumnizing

Here’s one more 9929 that’s undergone some autumnizing (autumnizing is not as drastic as winterizing). Also, I don’t believe you can state “winterizing” when there are flowers clearly visible in the photo behind you …

How do I try to make a cotton seersucker gown autumn-appropriate? By adding a cardigan, knee socks, as well as boots. The boots are an ancient pair from J. team that were most likely the luckiest purchase I ever made at the huge thrift store at Lawrence as well as Kedzie in Chicago. (They were five DOLLARS! For those of you keeping thrift store score scores at home). It assists that the gown is all dark colors, anyway.

“Seasonally-appropriate” for me seems to be method much more about the colors as well as the material than the style of gown … I don’t sign up for that fashion-mag short article of belief that you can take some frothy pale-mint chiffon-y gown that couldn’t be much more “Easter-tide” if you used it with fuzzy pink bunny ears, as well as wear it in October as long as you put wooly tights under it as well as a slouchy gray cardigan over it. however that’s most likely just since I’m a cranky old person. Please vacate my greensward, etc. etc. as well as oddly, I don’t mind earth-tones in the spring as well as summer, if they’re in summertime weights as well as shapes; it’s just sundress-style pastels as well as main colors in winter season that modify my irk-ometer.

I’m wishing to get some stitching done over the Thanksgiving break: the plan is to make two or three much more 9929s … however only ones appropriate as celebration dresses. I have some shantung prepared as well as waiting on colorblocking, some rainbow lamé (yes, rainbow lamé) as well as even (if I can discover my security goggles as well as a fume hood so I can cut into it) some Betabrands Disconium. view this space!
