Description

For the Green By Design Summer Light Challenge, I wore only ten items of clothing for the whole summer, mostly a black cardigan, white t-shirt, and dark wash skinny jeans. To celebrate my accomplishment, I decided to make myself something pleated and colorful for the Fall.

OH YEAH! Inseam pockets, of. course. _

      oh my word, thank you so much! When I found it at the discount fabric store, I felt like I could almost drown in that deep purple. Good idea, fabric printers. Good idea. laughs

      Thank you!

      I mean, honestly, what other place would a woman rather rest her chapsticks?

      Thank you! Omagash, I was so lucky. Since then, I haven’t come across anything that holds a candle to it.

      You know exactly how I felt the first two months of the challenge!

      The temptation of the color in my closet was my biggest foe. fist shake
