FENNOFashion Necklace and DIY Napkin Skirt

 This post is a two-fold post. First I want to share the coolest necklace I got from Megan of FENNOfashion ,  Cincinnati. This necklace was a must-have because of the sewing machine on it! Her creations are awesome, and beautifully made. She is also an awesome lady as well! Her jewelry designs are vintage inspired, and classic keepsakes to treasure. She re-makes and up-cycles vintage pieces as well as her own clothing line!

Her personality shines as brightly as her gems! Her website is linked above. 

Part two is this skirt I made out of thrifted cloth napkins. I stitched them together, added elastic and did a paper-bag waist. The napkins are already hemmed. So simple to make! I like the colorful stripes and seersucker material. I usually don't go this short until August, but what the heck! Thank goodness for self-tanner.

 The black Danskin leotard top is from Wal-mart, for $3.00. The shoes also from the W place.

 I forgot to snap my earrings, silver vintage looking cameos from Big Lots.

Red belt, Target.

 I love sun blotches! It seems like I haven't seen the sun in months!

Here's to a great week !

SEVENTIES SHEET SKIRT

This skirt was made from a "Vintage" sheet. I have always been drawn to the patterns and colors of 70's bedding. The colors are usually less stark and the fabric is softer. I thrifted this one many years ago, and my Mom made pillow cases out of it first. The process is the same as my Apple skirt - stitch, elastic and done! The bottom is already hemmed. I was going to wear it today with a simple white T, wide brown belt and platform sandals, but I was not feeling well and am still in my p.j's (at 7.30pm!). I wore this on Saturday. I got the elastic too loose, so I wrapped a purple scarf around my waist to hold it up. I fixed it that night. I enhanced the colors so you can see the pretty pattern. There's a little purple butterfly on the red flower!

I like to mix light florals with heavy leather. It was a cool, windy evening so out came the bomber jacket!

This skirt will be a super casual throw-and-go. Hanging out in my yard, over my swimsuit, T-shirty skirt.

Something to run errands in or mow the grass so I can get some sun skirt! When I get sleepy, I can lay in a lounge chair and take a nap, not worrying about wrinkling it, and dreaming simple 70's dreams!
