I’ve got a little bit of a vintage thing going on right now, which is why I have been fondling floral fabrics every chance I get. (How’d you like that little bit of alliteration there?)

I couldn’t help myself when I came across these two fabrics. I think it took me about three seconds to figure out what I was going to make with them — and I’m quite pleased with the results.

Usually, I shirr the neckline and sleeves of my peasant tops but this time I opted to go with elastic. I’m so glad I did! I really love the look; it’s a little softer than shirring, in my opinion, and really kind of lends itself to the vintage-y feeling I was going for.

The pants are my favorite part, though. I actually found that fabric — a lightweight embroidered cotton — first and immediately bought every last inch. Yes, I can be a little obsessive sometimes! It’s very light and will be perfect for wearing throughout the spring and into the summer here.

Miss L had lots of fun modeling today, especially since I put on her ballet shoes to wear with the set. Lots of “tippy toes” and showing Mommy her ballet poses. (The faces were an added bonus — and challenged me not to laugh!)
