Sporty Glebe

I’ve spotted a few cool looking wide-leg pants online which have sporty stripes down the side, and I was particularly smitten by a pair of brown linen pants with stripes (which I haven’t been able to find again), so while I was looking to see whether I could buy any RTW pants like this in…… Continue reading Sporty Glebe

Sliced Atrax Top

https://flic.kr/p/2ruAxRB I had a plan to rescue a knit dress by using a fabric slashing technique I had seen in Instagram where you layer fabrics, stitching them on and then cut the extra layers open.I thought I’d better give it a go on a smaller item before I commited to a whole dress, and I’m…… Continue reading Sliced Atrax Top

Unconventional pairings

Earlier during Me-Made-May, I posted about working through my wardrobe with my stylish friend, who suggested a lot of outfits that I wouldn’t have thought of (and also dismissed some of my more ridiculous pairing anxieties, like that shiny fabrics like rayon and matte fabrics like silk noil didn’t work together!)! https://flic.kr/p/2r5ntPW A lot of…… Continue reading Unconventional pairings
