I’m all about white lace when summer hits, and this year I had the urge to make a lightweight top. I found the prettiest embroidered fabric at Joann Fabrics & Crafts, and adapted a free download from Colette Patterns to be my perfect summer blouse. The finished top is breezy and cool with just the right amount of detailing: sweet ruffle sleeves, and a little flounce across the front. The embroidered fabric means there is no hemming involved making this a quick and easy project– perfect for a beginner sewist!

Summer Style Wishlist
The change of seasons is always a time for me to reevaluate my wardrobe and my style, looking for any gaps I want to fill or items to pass on. Of course this process naturally leads to a teensy bit of retail therapy, and I thought it would be fun to share my current shopping list with you. I try to keep my wardrobe minimal and classic, but I definitely like to leave room for fun and special pieces, especially if they feature a floral print. Read on to see what’s on my list this summer!

Handmade Fashion: Palm Print Midi Skirt
Leaf Print
I thought it would be fun to dedicate one day a week to sharing a look featuring items I made myself! The feeling of putting together an outfit from pieces you’ve DIYed is pretty darn satisfying, and this look, one of my current favorites, is made up of three things made by me! At the end of this post, I’ll include links to similar items, or the exact item if it’s available in my Etsy shop like this monstera print skirt. A simple tee and midi skirt is one of my favorite outfit combinations in the summer, especially when paired with strappy sandals and a straw bag.
