Birkin Flares – Indiesew Spring Collection Blog Tour

I used to have this idea in my head that jeans were just too hard, too time consuming and I did not need to venture into that realm of DIY fashion. And then Lauren of Baste and Gather released the Birkin Flares and I started to think, why not? Why not give myself a little challenge. I can make simple tank tops all day and yes they'll be worn to death but why not venture outside my comfort zone? So, when Indiesew invited me to participate in the blog tour for the Spring Collection I decided there was no time like the present to get started.

DIY Sequin Mesa Dress

I originally conceived the idea for this dress back in December when I was preparing for the holiday party season. I was planning to go all out with sequins! and fur! and it was going to be super glam and totally fabulous. Well, the chore of sewing sequins and fur got the best of me and I had to postpone the sequins. So now I have a super shiny, sparkly Valentine’s Day dress (or shall I say Galentine’s Day? cause really that’s way more fun, amiright?).

DIY Wide Leg Pants Vogue V8836

I don’t make a lot of pants and I tend to wear RTW skinny jeans a lot (especially in winter). But these pants? These pants are kind of my dream pants. I just love that wide leg, fitted waist and, again, that wide leg. I do love that a wide leg is coming back into fashion. It’s such a nice contrast to the skinnies. It’s really comfortable and has a great sense of drama. I’m really tall so I feel like this is an easier style for me to wear.
