Basic Shorts {Part 8 of Vintage Wardrobe Sewing Project}

10/25/2017

The Basic Shorts was my eighth piece to be completed for the color coordinated vintage wardrobe. I used the very last of that beautiful white linen fabric. This piece features:

white linen fabric -for day use
soft pleats and built-in belt
tailored with back-darts and zipper

This piece will mix-and-match every other piece in my color coordinated vintage wardrobe, but I haven't worn shorts in many years ... so we'll see if I have the courage.

Accessory Set {Part 7 of vintage Wardrobe Sewing Project}

10/25/2017

The Accessory Set in white was my seventh piece to be completed for the color coordinated vintage wardrobe. The clutch is homemade, while the heels and pearls are store bought. This white linen is the same material as the reversible basic jacket. It features:

white linen fabric -for day and evening use
soft pleats reflected in many of the pieces
liner & snap closure

This piece will mix-and-match every other piece in my color coordinated vintage wardrobe.

The Slim Skirt {Part 6 of the Color Coordinated Vintage Wardrobe Sewing Project}

10/19/2017

The Slim Skirt was my sixth piece to be completed for the color coordinated vintage wardrobe. Because the material is the same as Shirt 2, when worn together, it slims the body line, plus looks like a dress. It features:

navy blue fabric -for day and evening use
soft pleats and built-in belt
tailored with back-pleat and zippler

This piece will mix-and-match every other piece in my color coordinated vintage wardrobe and I'll soon be able to show you all the outfits!

I'm excited to wear it!

Blouse 2 {Part 5 in Color Coordinated Vintage Wardrobe Sewing Project}

Blouse 2 was my fifth piece to be completed for the color coordinated vintage wardrobe. This classic navy blue shirt with white trim will serve as both a day piece and double for an elegant evening piece. It features:

navy blue fabric -for day and evening use
scoop neckline with white trim
tailored with 10 darts & side zipper

This piece will mix-and-match every other piece in my color coordinated vintage wardrobe and I'll soon be able to show you all the outfits!

How is your wardrobe coming?

Skinny Baked Apple Medley REcipe

I love the fall flavors of this skinny baked apple medley recipe, and it fits in with my beauty diet (real food, low calorie, and balanced daily nutritional goals), plus it is vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free. Today, I am starting a 3-day elimination diet* taught in my Charm School and my tummy is already feeling so much better (more on my "gut-health" journey later), but this is a dessert that I love to eat any day of the week. Here's the recipe card printable!

This skinny pumpkin spice oatmeal recipe fits in with my beauty diet (real food, low calorie, and balanced daily nutritional goals), plus it has a bonus of being vegan and gluten-free. My daughters said that an extra teaspoon of brown sugar and a nice lump of butter would have been a big improvement, but then it wouldn't be skinny or vegan. It's up to you! I liked the nutty mixed with fall flavors. This would be good with diced green apples and golden raisins. Here's the recipe card ...
