I like vintage looks. I have a tacky gene that loves to mix prints. I have fun trying new things with my hair. I'm a bargain hunter and hardly ever buy an item full price. I love to sew, and feel pleased as punch when I wear something of my own design.

Easter Outfit
Vintage Blouse: Thrifted
Belt: Local
Necklace and Earrings: Burk's Outlet
Ceramic Watch: TJMaxx
Gold Bracelet and Jelly Opal Ring: Gifts for Hubby
ID Bracelet: Birthday gift from Parents when I turned 9
Yellow Tulle Skirt: Self Made
Blue Leather Flats: DSW
My Mom chose the "Easter Colors" this year: Light Blue, Dark Blue, and Yellow. Several of us added in some Black.
I made ties for the boys. If you click on the picture, it should open bigger so you can see them better. My oldest nephew requested a Bow Tie. He learned how to tie it the night before. I asked him how long it took him to get it so perfect for church and he said, "I got it on the first try!" :o)
Those are my parents and their grandsons in the middle. There is only one granddaughter, but she wasn't here this year. (She is the one that I refashioned the wedding dress for last year)
Hubby was supposed to wear a Yellow tie, but it was no where to be found Sunday morning!!!
I can't begin to describe how much fun it is to wear a Yellow Tulle Skirt! It was like wearing a Tutu. :o) I swished and flounced around all morning!!! I totally plan on wearing it again next Sunday. Yes, I love it THAT MUCH!!!

I LOVE that skirt! How did you make it?
ReplyDelete16 yards of yellow tulle! :o) I cut it in 4 yard lengths, gathered each one, then layered those 4 "skirts" on top of each other. I attached all that to a gold elastic waistband. Then I used a yellow t-shirt to make a lining which I then attached to the skirt.
DeleteAre you thinking of making one? :o)
