I was in Spotlight a few weeks ago buying up big on wool blend when I came across the most bizarre fabric. It was a lightweight denim cotton with embroidered red apples on it.
Sure it was a kid's fabric ... but I couldn't help myself. I had to have it and make a skirt from it. There were a few problems with holes in the fabric, but the store offered me extra so I could fussy cut the pattern, and a couple of days later I had myself a very appley skirt to take to Melbourne. I used red thread for the whole skirt, and a red zipper too. I was going to use red ric rac on the hem, but I thought that might be overkill. So I wear red tights with it instead.
Tights are We Love Colors, again, but this time in red. This skirt and tights combo is a current favourite of mine, and I'm going to shake the public service up on Friday when I wear it on what is probably going to be my last day at work. And maybe I'll create an apple pie chart with some cinnamon data as my farewell present to people I have loved, loved, loved working with for the last ten months. That would be fitting.
Fantastic fabric for a skirt. Are those also apple buttons on your cardigan? That would be too perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit Michelle! The fabric is fantastic too, it's so hard to go past embroidered apples.
ReplyDeleteEeeeeeekkkk! I love the denim red apple skirt so much. Happy last day at work and I don't think ric rac on the hem would be overkill.
ReplyDeleteLove red appley denim with red stitching!
ReplyDeleteThe whole outfit looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the killer shoes too! Have just ordered some stockings... thanks for the earlier tip off!!!

ReplyDeleteYou know, I went back for some of that denim after I first saw your gorgeous skirt, but they were all out =(

OK now lastnight I just browsed the tights website - so many options and I just couldn't decide, but now I have to go back and buy a pair in red!
ReplyDeleteI bet all those public service girls will be jealous on Friday.
Awesome. Truely awesome.
ReplyDeletethose tights are awesome! I've looked at we love colours so many times but never bought anything. What's your thoughts on them? Are they good quality? Are they worth the postage costs?
ReplyDeleteAll these skirts and tights. I've never been a skirt of tights person, but I'm having a hankering! :)
