KIMONO

kimono5

I love this fabric so much. But I didn’t know what to do with it when I first got it. It’s just so good, I didn’t want to screw it up and have it go to waste! But after posting it on Instagram (psssst - follow me here!), a few people mentioned that it would make a perfect kimono. Genius! So a kimono it became. 

This is seriously one of the easiest things you could make. Especially out of a knit like this (no need to finish the edges!). I didn’t make a tutorial, but both Leanne and Liz have some good ones, so you should check them out!

Fancy sweatpants, that is. They’re my jam. Or well, they are now. I’m obsessed with the idea of dressing them up and actually being able to wear them out of the house. So I bought a basic grey and black pair from Old Navy back in the winter, and then theres my lacey Lou and Grey pair

But I wasn’t satisfied. I needed more. So I took matters into my own hands and made myself not one, but two new pairs. Two fancy pairs. And I love how they came out. I even wore the black and white and pink outfit to work the other day. Yeah, sweatpants to work. That happened.
