My Kind of Style

If you have read my blog at all you know that I love the local store Urban Arts & Crafts.  Not only is it just the most inspiring place ever, but they carry fabrics that no other stores carry, by designers like Amy Butler, and Anna Marie Horner.  I  have been dying to make something from some of those whimsical fabrics.  So several weeks ago I picked up a couple of those coordinating fabrics and wanted to make something to wear.  Although, I love color, mostly pink, and patterns, I wanted it to be something that was comfortable and up to date.  However, I just couldn't stay away from the large pink floral patterns, so much for trying to blend in.

 
This is the Amy Butler pattern that I chose to make.  It comes in three different lengths, shirt, tunic, and dress.  I picked the tunic lengthen so that I could wear it with either jeans or leggings.

 
I used the small print as a contrast for the button placket as well as the collar and cuffs.

 
 
I love how this turned out and cannot wait to wear my new tunic.  I recently picked up some brown leggings and a brown t-shirt that will work nicely under my flowery fun.

 
The back is great too.  I have always been a pushover for bows. Besides the tie helps give this gal a waist.

This is fabulous! I've been wanting that pattern for a while, but I always talk myself out of it. Clothing is not my forte'. You'll have to post a photo of yourself wearing the entire ensemble.
