It's Fake Fall Fashion

Yep, just when I switched to Fall wear, I found myself out and about in temps of 85 degrees today.

~ I'm just too hot ~


~ Can you believe I've never worn these things together before? ~


They're both things I made a few years ago or more.  The top is a jersey knit, last seen hereI think this is the best the top has look with anything else. 

The pants are a fav of mine made from silk dupioni, last seen here.  The pants, however, look great with everything I've ever tried on with them.  Who knew?

~ even with our tomato plants ~


~ and shoes from ebay ~




~ pao at rest ~

Sometimes I just can't get enough of symmetry.
  
When I went in the house, there was this:

~ my sweet little Albertine ~

That's her bed at the foot of ours, complete with cat toys (and stacks of old New Yorkers?).


Enough. 

I'm off to Patti's Not Dead Yet Style, and then Catherine's I Will Wear What I Like when she goes live.  See you there!

  1. Silk pants are always dreamy. And the top too - how do you keep finding treasures you made in years past? Love the cat bed (she likes the New Yorker? good kitty). xox

    1. My clothes never end, Patti. And I never seem to mix and match them all together enough. That's the fun and surprising part. And it's why I never try to make things that will go with something else. It just happens regardless. Yeah, you can't keep them out of boxes, so are house is full of them, all different.

  2. Oh yes, the silk dupioni pants wear well and I wash them in cold water and line dry. As I do with all my clothes. Have fun with yours, Valerie.

    1. I know, doesn't it though? But it just happens to "match." Yes, cats know just wear to go for the coziest spot, but it does change on a whim, it seems. We're back to Fall again. yeah.

  5. Awww, so nice to see lovely Albertine, and to know she has excellent taste in magazines ;) It was very chilly, typical fall weather this past week and now it's warming up again, so I'm afraid to do my summer/fall clothing switchover. Great colours in this outfit Pao

    1. I know, she's such a cutie pie. And Fall is back, hooray. It's been around 60, so that's cool. So my Fall colors fit right in now.

  6. Silly me, I never would have thought to use silk dupioni for pants! You've got me thinking for the holidays... Yes, love the top and pants together. Also, enjoying your bedroom color and quilt <3.

    1. Who knows why I thought of it. Maybe because the fabric was discounted since there was a flaw (which you can't even notice). I've made a dress out of silk dupioni too. It's really nice to sew and wear and washes well too. All our walls are painted 'odd' colors.
