try to imagine a careless life



Somehow, the majority of the photos I took today were out of focus. I hate when I'm lazy & just assume that autofocus is doing its job... and then I get inside to edit them, & it clearly wasn't. Now, it's too dim out to re-take them, so here is what I salvaged.



cardigan / american eagle | dress / handmade | tights / f21 | boots / target



I finally permanently sewed the skirt of this dress into a bubble--and now I am much more apt to wear it. It's so comfy!

I spent my day working on custom orders, writing, and plotting out designs. Tonight, I'll probably sew... finally! It's been too long. I want to make some tutorials this month, so we'll see how that goes. It's pretty chilly out, so all I feel like doing is staying inside. Unfortunate, because I should be out and about, skiing & such while I can!

  5. I adore the dress as well - what's the fabric on the top? A knit lace?

    I agree with Hannah, the out-of-focus-ness adds to the look of the photos.
