Oh yeah, I'm wearing clothes all made from Tina Givens patterns. My newly made cotton print Jacquelyn crop top, over a cotton Briare slip dress, over a striped linen Sugar slip.

What? You couldn't see the video? Drat. I just put up a link to it too, so maybe that will help if the embedded video doesn't work for everyone.
DeleteThe cotton print is also by Tina Givens. I got it on-line at flyingbulldogs.com

Your outfit is spectacular, & thanks - I hadn't heard that song for far too long!
ReplyDeleteI guess we're all of an era.
DeleteI purchased a Tina pattern recently. She has had some lovely sales! Always enjoy seeing your creations :)
ReplyDeleteReally, which one did you get, Rhonda? I know you made her Plinka pants long ago.
DeleteThat wall colour is really popular in India - it works well with the light over there. Here, not so!
ReplyDeleteLoving the ruffles and the shoes. Nick Cave is a neighbour of a friend, she's just posted a photo of him on Facebook wearing a tracksuit to get his groceries. Not a great look (unlike yours!) xxx
Yeah, I could see that. It's the color of curry, or saffron isn't it?
DeleteWell, I didn't choose a more current version of him singing the song - not nearly as cool. I heard he was at Glastonbury not too long ago, 2013 maybe...
I just found your blog via Pinterest. I was searching for diy Lagenlook ideas and you surely have them! I have been trying myself for several years to reduce waste (and clothing costs) by buying thrift and refashioning myself...some turn out and some not so much but the process is fun for me. Thanks for a great reading (with fun visuals) blog.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, Cynthia and Co. And your jewelry pieces are truly labors of love. Speaking of which I would luv to see some of your refashioning of clothes too. Do you post any of those?
DeleteSo much great photos here, but I love your infinity pleats in the mirror - a whole new dimension. That's so funny, yes, beige for beauty.
ReplyDeleteNobody does pleats better than you. Well, of course, these are amazing pleats. Great combo. And the shoes, again! Thank you for that video. The hair, the styles, the music. That will be going through my head ALL DAY! I think I should thank you...ask me after five hours of this.
I can't think of anything better to run through one's head for a day, Ms. Melanie. I luv your dress for the office post. It's the best evah.
Delete"Green Pleats and Mustard Walls" That sounds like some of the meal suggestions on this detox diet I'm on. Though I'm sure I'm not allowed a sugar slip. But Yum! What a delicious outfit. that Tina Givens can really cook up some tasty patterns. And you look so pretty in her designs. "Wings of Desire" I haven't thought of that film in ages. It totally knocked my sox off when I saw it. Wow. Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteOh, you mean that Dr. Seuss Diet? The places you'll go with it, Connie. I know, Wings of Desire was and still is fantastic.
DeleteOooh what a fun outfit and those shoes!! Oh those shoes! YES!
ReplyDeleteHey Hollie, yep, we all like to dress up, now don't we?
DeleteThat is one impressive passel of pleats you've got going on there. The colours are yummy and you have the absolute best shoes!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the video - Wim Wenders and Nick Cave are two of my favourite humans.
You mean besides your fuzzy wuzzy rat babies? I agree.
DeleteThought they we the Plinka pants to start with.
ReplyDeleteLove how your brought the colours out of the top. The boots especially. And so funky! Xo Jazzy Jack
That crop top is adorable!!! I didn't own a single crop top until this Summer, now I just love them with my high waist skirts and over dresses!

I love that you included a Nick Cave song in all this. I've met him a few times in my life. Keep sewing!
