So sad that @thevintagefashionchallenge has come t So sad that @thevintagefashionchallenge has come to a close - where the final prompt is self-care. My self care this weekend has been surrounding myself with the most heart-healing people. Having a truly magical girl’s trip, where I don’t think we’ve changed our of sweats once. Absolute bliss. 💗
🌸
A million that’s to @iliveinmylab @tinyangrycrafts @vintagefilamglam and @kelley.strohm.voss for hosting the this magical month!!
Guys…I don’t even have words for the madness o Guys…I don’t even have words for the madness of the last 24 hours, which was full of bad weather, cancelled flights, and the kindness of old friends! 🧡 Today’s prompt for @thevintagefashionchallenge is Goals - which I know is likely to refer to broad goals for the next year. But right now, I have only one goal: to get to my Girls. I wait all year for this trip and refuse to let airport madness thwart me!

I can’t even believe @thevintagefashionchallenge I can’t even believe @thevintagefashionchallenge is coming to a close in a few days! Fitting that today is all about Gratitude, because I’m sitting in the airport waiting to head towards my chosen family. Endlessly grateful to have people in my life who have seen me at my messiest, and love me anyway. Who have let me grow and change and become the best version of myself over and over again. I can’t even tell you how often I remind myself not to take that for granted. ❤️❤️ 
❤️
(and no, this is not what I’m wearing at the airport. Even I’m not that glamorous. This is a stunning piece @meoc.28 hand-painted for me years ago, inspired by a 1950’s beauty I never got my hands on!)
For the #slowfashion day 15 of @thevintagefashionc For the #slowfashion day 15 of @thevintagefashionchallenge, I decided to have a toile party for an old fav! Many years ago, when we were living in Perth, I had my first pattern drafting adventure with @sewanista. Although nearly 15 years have gone by (and let’s be honest, 15 years of professoring, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and gravity), I rediscovered her, adjusted here and there, and reminded myself just how much I love this design… Stay tuned for the criss-cross bodice 2.0! #memademay
