I love this new outfit combination! It is very Patriotic. You know what? Since we came back from San Antonio I’ve been mixing up my outfits a lot - trying new combinations and looks.

Today I served at my Church for a Seniors Luncheon that happens once every month. Except during the winter months, December through February. But we do bake cookies for the Seniors at Valentines. Well, today was special, as I gave a presentation at the Luncheon on Historical Costuming. I was so nervous. But it worked out alright. Afterwards we did Operation Christmas Child with the Seniors.

I forgot to mention in my last outfit post that this week is WIFD on a sewing board I'm on. What does WIFD stand for? It stands for Week In Feminine Dress. So you will be seeing a whole bunch of outfit posts this week. =) 

Also, how does the blog run now? Does it move any faster?

WIFD - Day 7

Hello ladies! It is the last day of WIFD and I'm sad to see it end, but it was fun! :) Today I wore my Old Hollywood inspired jeans. You can read on how I made them here.

WIFD - Day 4

Here it is day 4 of WIFD. And I put together a new combination for today's outfit. As I usually don't wear this combination together. I'm not sure that I would wear the blouse again with this skirt. As the blouse is kinda like a tunic and looks best with my jeans. Maybe a pencil skirt would work better?

~What I'm Wearing~

Purple knit shrug - Made by me

White blouse/tunic - Vera Wang collection at Kohls

Jean wrap skirt - Made by me

Purple knee-high socks - Target

Black fashion boots - Bass Shoe Outlet

 

 The shrug is a recent project as I just finished sewing it. I really like how it turned out and it was simple to sew using our serger. If you are wondering I used Simplicity #2560. I would highly recommend this pattern to anyone, as a beginner could easily sew this.  

WIFD - Day 3

First you may be wondering what WIFD stands for. Well it means Week in Feminine Dress, its were you dress feminine for a whole week and post pictures what you wore to encourage others. So there will be no "What I'm Wearing" post this week. If you want, you can learn more about WIFD on the Ladies Against Feminism website.
