Paris dressing - part 2

My favourite top and tshirt.  Sweater knit from Marcy, tshirt from Ruperts.  Wore over and back on the plane and twice in between.

Double gauze from Sewing Workshop.  Tunic patter by M. TIlton.  Very comfy, too.

Three pairs of pants, two black were one dressy pair and one pointe jeans.  One skirt.

A disappointment.  The holes in this vest clung to each other and looked totally hiked up.  Goodwill bag, I'm a coming.

Wore this top with the black sweater below and skirt.  Love bright colors to relieve the black.

This was a Ruperts t tunic that fit my color scheme and went with the coloured point pants (see above)

Wore the Worlds most comfortable boots from J Jill/Born.  Packed black tights as well as the above Wild colors.

Some of the scarves I took (the ones I wore the most).  Little leather wallet was a godsend under my coat (Rex lost 100 Euros to the pickpockets somewhere ). And it's colors inspired my color scheme.

This RLauren workout gear was great for getting to the swimming pool

Two basic tshirt

And two bold ones

We got sick about five days into our two plus weeks, so never got a chance for a last big restaurant dinner in this R. RUcci dress I made and blogged about earlier.  Luckily, I spent big bucks for a great, light filled 6th floor apartment with a huge bed and kitchen.  

Thanks for letting me share :)

Paris dressing - part 1

Okay, I thought I'd better put this in two posts in order not to overwhelm anyone, including me!
I will attempt to describe the contents of my suitcase from my recent Paris trip.

First up, a Comfy brand tshirt and cardi.  I paired it with a silk chiffon scarf I made.  Wish I knew what the French words say.

This outfit looked great under my all wool coat find from Janes in Door County, WI.  This coat is unlined but has little silver beads all over it.  Perfect weight for the weather, and I could add an all wool sweater when needed.

I supplemented the coat with this raincoat.  Reversible and the perfect colors for my other garments.  The collar makes a hood, too.  It's a Micropak and I purchases it at Susan Sez in Madison, WI

Next up, a silk tunic shirt I made.

Went great with the black sweater and this sweatshirt material jacket from Susan Sez

 Last up, a Style Arc cotton and silk shirt with top.  Made it too with leggings as well.

My favourite fabric from my "homie" fabric store

Gayfeathers just re-stocked on this fabulous fabric.  

The answer is French Terry, from Gayfeather Fabrics.

It's not too warm, like wool is.  But it's cuddly soft.

I even had the hardware and zipper in my stash!

VIrg, Gayfeather Fabrics proprietress, eyeballed this pattern and cut exactly enough fabric, even with the matching involved.  What a mind!  Reach her at 608 294-7436.
