FAIIINT Cutout Shirt / FAIIINT Notched Skirt / H&M Neck Cuff / Daniel Wellington Watch * / Ligia Dias Chain Choker (worn as bracelet) / Topshop Boutique Bandage Wedges

I’ve been sorting through all of my degree work in the attic over the past week & have come across all sorts of things I had forgotten I’d made! I kept everything in garment bags totally pristine, just incase I needed them again for something, then it dawned on me that having been graduated for over a year, I’m not likely to need them again! I’ve hung all the pieces that fit me in my closet, so I’ll hopefully get some wear out of them, I hate the thought of them just collecting dust in the attic, especially now I no longer need to be so precious about them!

I’ve worn the skirt a few times before, but this is my first time wearing the shirt out. I brought this beautiful rustic looking cotton way before I knew what I was going to use it for, I just fell in love with it & had to buy a few meters. It is so thin & soft, it has that kind of worn look to it that I am so fond of & gives the shirt a real loveworn look with the way it creases so easily. I know a lot of people this would bother, but I’m not really a fan of stiff, perfectly ironed shirts & I hate ironing! I quite like it all creased, I think it adds a little character to it & stops it looking too harsh with the graphic cut outs. I hated this shirt for a long time because the little triangle cutouts caused me so much stress when making it, but I’m starting to love it again now & can see myself wearing it a lot more.

The skirt even though it’s quite plain & simple is one of my favourite things I’ve made, purely because it’s so practical. I love highwaisted skirts, but I also have a long torso & it’s almost a guarantee that they’ll be short to the point of flashing my cheeks because of this! I don’t want that, so I made this skirt the perfect length to still be a mini, but also keep everything covered! The notches & panels with diagonal stitching down the sides add a subtle bit of interest, keeping it from being just another boring black skirt.

I’m still in love with all things rose gold & this gorgeous, classic looking watch from Daniel Wellington is my latest edition. I love men’s watches & I have a real soft spot for ones with leather straps, so I knew I’d get plenty of wear out of this one. I love how slim the casing is & how minimal & unfussy it looks, it gives it a real elegance & means it goes with absolutely everything too.

    My goodness, you made this??! I can barely hem my own pants! You’re very creative. As I’ve mentioned in the previous post, I always admire how you put a new spin on a familiar piece of clothing.

    I just love the idea that you make creative clothes of your own, and not just a plain skirt or a plain shirt. My mother taught me the basics of sewing and knitting and i sometimes try myself to homemade pieces. This is a priceless result. Hope you’ll wear these two beauties again, the shirt is a real success !

    Ummmm, can I just say hoooottttt!!!

    If you ever do get a chance to get to Seoul, do it! Cheaper than Japan and less hectic than Hong Kong… didn’t even know that was even possible. I got suckered into the Chloe perfume set by the packaging. Put a bow and make it in dusty pink, I’m totally sold.

      Yeah, the smaller ones were the biggest pain ever, but I think they were worth it!
      You should have a go at a skirt, if you have a machine & basic sewing skills, they are pretty easy to do! Just take a pattern from a skirt you have that fits well (or buy a pre-made pattern), make a mock up & keep adjusting till it’s perfect! :)

    Looking stunning as usual. I like the fabric of your top too, it’s casual and I love that it doesn’t require ironing. The cutout makes it so interesting.

      Thankyou Karina! It’s so nice to hear such lovely compliments when it’s something you worked really hard on, really appreciate it! :)
      I’m considering doing some kind of giveaway with one of my pieces for the blogs first birthday, seeing as they’ve had such a good response!

        yes, you should do that!! It would be such a good and original giveaway since you’d be giving away one of your self made pieces. Something that no one else can do :)

    Takes this as a compliment: I love how due to your skin being such a lovely pale colour, you can get away with wearing such a revealing top, as the contrast of the darkness against your light skin looks so classy. You really do make some beautiful clothes!
