Description

Pattern Kwik Sew 3670. So I got this pattern for free; the company sent me the wrong one, and they just let me keep it. The fabric I chose was WRONG WRONG. I think it’s a silk, but I’m not sure. It didn’t hang correctly, so I cropped it and turned it into a little resort top to wear with skinny jeans or shorts and wedges. I think I could sell this look better if I were sipping a margarita near a beach. I’m not sure how I feel about my naval sticking out, but in the summer, I think we all get a free pass for showing extra skin, yes? I know the photos are ridiculous, but isn’t that what fashion should be? Fun?

Material Notes

I don’t know. It was on a clearance rack. I think it might be a silk; it was very hard to work with. I used this on my evening bag as well with my Teal Cocktail Dress.

      Yes, my friend Adam is a great photographer, which is why I gave him credit on the site. I’ll have to send him your compliment, thanks!
