fabric


I am really trying to break out of my comfort zone with fabrics. This morning I went to Vogue fabrics and came home with this Anne Klein Watercolor Fabric. I was inspired by this anthropologie skirt and really wanted something with that 80's watercolor/pastel fabric look. I am really hoping that the pleats will help to deconstruct the fabric that I bought a little bit more. I feel like it is a bit of a gamble, but I kept on pulling myself away from the familiar and safe solid color linens and cotton twills that I love so much. Let's hope that I don't regret it.

  1. I think it will be darling. Pair it with a yellow cardigan layered over a white tee and some cute flats and it will be the perfect summer outfit!

    You are so brave...I tend to be drawn to the simple solids as well, but have been feeling lately like I need a change. I can't wait to see how this turns out!
