dreaming of spring

Have you received your J.Crew Spring catalog?  We got ours a few days ago and I'm obsessed with it.  Here are a few of my favorite Spring staples:

a Maxi.  Ha!  I bet your are all shocked.  So I might have 7 in my closet, but I'm thinking I need a Kelley green one now.... 

I'm loving boat neck tops right now.  And stripes?  The obsession continues. A striped one like this is on my "to sew" list

A chambray top is a must for Spring.  I got mine from J.Crew last year and it goes with ev-er-e-thing!  I also have some white capri's I want to refashion into skinnies.

A dolman sleeved top.  No armholes to sew?  Yes please. 

 via
I have 5 yards of gorgeous lace and three projects I have been dying to make with it.  This top is one of them.  Lace is huge right now and I love it.  
I also have gold sequined fabric for a pencil skirt.  I bought it when I was pregnant and have been patiently waiting to get my normal body back so that I can make it.  But I posted this one because of the price.  You GOTTA click on the link.......ok, I can't wait, so I'm just gonna tell you.....
$695.
what the WHAT?!?
I'm sorry J.Crew, but that is so outrageous.  I can think of a lot of things I would want with $700, and one skirt is not one of them.

  1. Amen! I would never pay that much! I could use that money for so many other things considering I have two in diapers and one is on formula. I hope you made a tutorial on how to use sequin fabric. I would love to learn that!

  5. That is outrageous. What if you spilled something on it?! I love the green maxi. I just picked up some fabric that shade yesterday. Cute idea mixing it with the stripe top!

  7. Nếu bạn có xu hướng trang tri noi that nhà cửa bằng màu sắc, bạn có thể bị thuyết phục bởi những màu sắc từ các vật liệu tự nhiên. noi that do go phong khach, cua hang noi that phong ngu, noi that go nha bep , san pham do go phong an tạo nên sự khác biệt bằng các màu sắc xám, nâu hay màu gỗ. Nếu sợ căn phòng trở nên nhàm chán bạn có thể nhấn nhá thêm ghe sofa phong khach gia re , giuong ngu doi, tu phong ngu có màu sắc nhẹ nhàng như xanh lá hay đỏ, vàng. Đối với một số nơi như tường nhà, cửa sổ hay vật dụng ngoài trời nên chọn sat my thuat, san pham gia cong sat , gia cong inox
