Two shirts

floral shorts serving me well at the beach

On the Big Island

Enjoying being back stateside..

soaking rays in Hawaii. wearing a romper from Forever 21 and my sister's in her own mash up of clothing. xx

It's summer, you know....

BY THE WAY this is the second prototype of the NATIVE(X) skirt I'm designing and selling (look a few posts down to read more about it). I decided to give it a spin..it's super nice, the pouf has definitely deflated and it keeps the wool extremely cool in the summer with enough room in the fall/winter for tucking in ridiculously large sweaters....ideal.

Staple summer outfit

Re-construct

This is an old Levi zip up that has a ton of holes and the elbows are completely worn through. I cut off the bottom layer of a crotchet skirt (I still don't know whether or not I like the skirt...) and sewed it onto the zip up to cover the elbows. This is my second elbow-patch project and this one is definitely done much better.

Hey you

Thrifted shorts and below are detail shots of the back of the shirt (will show more pictures later) and my new project dealing with crochet+zipup.

NATIVE(X) Skirt Project, step 1

My friend Mac contacted me to help design skirts using Pendleton fabric. He already had prototypes of the skirts made and all I have to do now is let people try them out, give me feedback and figure out how to make the skirts better. Jessica is wearing the small tall, for girls who are 5'8 and up. The small regular is 5'7 and shorter, but it really depends on how you wear your skirt.

There's a huge line behind her to try the skirt and tomorrow I'm handing it off to another girl. The goal from now until the end of school is to let as many people try the skirt out to get a lot of feedback on it so I can figure out what the sizing will be. Then I'm going to a seamstress with a few friends to get the skirts redesigned and make new prototypes. Hopefully the next set of skirts will be perfect so we can start selling them. In the meantime, I'm making myself a pair of loose white summery pants. Super excited right now, two projects going on at the same time!!
