I picked up this peace of fabric at a thrift shop for less than $2 and decided to use it as a part of this month's collection. Well, this is not pink, but peach and it's added a flare to my wardrobe for this month of BC Awareness. The top has been worn with black slacks and a black jacket.
Pattern: Simplicity 8523 view A sleeveless top
These buttons were thrifted for $0.20 the weekend before making the jacket. Once I started looking through my buttons for a match, I realized that they were perfect.

This will not happen again with this top. I had marked the length and cut into the fabric in the wrong area which led to a shorter length. I did consider adding to the length which would give the top some additional lines, but skipped on the idea. Don't you know I took the time to correctly adjust the pattern with the added the paper taped into position. This error also led to a shorter blouse than I had planned.
Hair: Two-strand twist out on shampooed and blow dried hair for date night at the college for jazz entertainment.

DeleteA very classic twinset look - always a winner :)
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that I made it as a twinset, but should have chosen the lower cut version of the blouse to match the jacket. Therefore, I were them separately.
