COLOUR DRAINED

 Top - Foreign Intentions | Skirt - Marilyn Monroe | Free Runs - Nike 

This was probably the most fun I've had yet at a shoot. I've been wanting to post this ever since we took the pictures. I just really love the casual and sporty essence of this outfit. The comfy sneakers were a great bonus. I'm really loving the top that I made for this, it's pretty similar to the one from the post New Love. The only difference is the fabric and the band width. 

I had some trouble deciding on a name for this post for some uncanny reason. While I was listening to "White Noise" from Disclosure's album, the lyric "colour drained" stuck out to me. I thought it was perfect since I was only wearing grey and blacks. It's a great song for when you're trying to push through a workout, or just in general. Take care xx

Dress - Foreign Intentions | Shoes - Mom's Closet 

A few days ago, I realized that Valentines Day was coming up and I had nothing to wear, and more importantly nothing to post. Which led to me begging my mother to take me to the fabric store at the late of night. I did this dress the night before the shoot (crazy, I know), but I am so glad I did. When I was at the store, trying to find the material that suited my needs, nothing "spoke" to me. But I remembered when you put chiffon on top of a fabric, it gives it a more toned down and softer look (which was exactly what I was going for). I also added the corset-esque back for more romance. Take care xx

NEW LOVE

Top - Foreign Intentions

Recently I've been wanting a triangle cup crop top but I couldn't find one that suited my needs, hence the reason I made my own. I found this gorgeous black and white plaid print at the fabric store and just couldn't leave it behind. I knew it would be great for the top. I also got interfacing to give it some structure and used the same plaid fabric as the lining. Since I've been loving the cross trend I decided to add that into the design. I also added the criss-crossing for the straps and I absolutely love how it turned out. Outfit wise, I would pair it with tailored white high-waisted shorts, and a white blazer. As for the shoes, I would probably pair it with black sandals. I chose black and white because of the versatility it had; I could pair it with other prints in the same color scheme for a different look.
