Wearing my self-made dress!

Plaid dress

I finally managed to get around to sewing the hem and fixing the collar on the dress I made at the sewing course I took part in for a few weeks in the autumn. I'm so pleased to finally be able to wear it, and it's so much fun to wear something you've made yourself (even if I know it still isn't perfect with it being somewhat too big at my back).

Plaid dress

I also want to apologize for being such a bad blogger as of lately - I am moving to Israel in less than a month and there is so much too fix before that can happen (I often think I'm going to get crazy dealing with everything), and I am also trying to work a lot so that I'll have some money while I'm there. Until then, I will be trying to blog as often as I can - if the weather continues to be mild like today that shouldn't be too unachievable (except that it would mean that I'd get wet if I sit in the snow!)

Plaid dress
Whistle

Self-made plaid dress, tights from Gina Tricot, shoes from Kipper, whistle necklace from Les Jumelles Boutique, and hair band from Vero Moda.

PS: Before I forget, I hope to be able to put up some more things in my shop that I need to get rid of before I move. That includes two mint issues of Lula magazine (the recent one and the one before that). Would any of you be interested in that?

Imogen said...

Wow thats interesting news that your moving to Israel. It must be so wonderful to be able to spend more time with your boyfriend once you move and I am very happy for you and I hope it all works out. How do you feel about it do you have any mixed feelings about leaving Norway? Anyway I love your dress and its so great you made it its always such an achievement when you make something. The quality looks very good and I love the pattern. I like how you styled it. I always thought your shoes were pink when I saw them before but I guess it depends on the lighting.

Oh, Ariella, but are you moving to Israel forever? wow! I hope you post a lot about that country!
Great work with the dress, I should fix some dresses here too!!

That dress is so cute! You did a great job. Have fun on your new adventure in Israel! I know how stressful moving is and how much there is to sort out and anticipate and stress over, but you'll probably be so happy once you're there. I wish you all the luck in the world! And thank you so much for your good wishes... I really took your kind words to heart. I'm confident that I will find something to do that suits me, and soon. All in all I'm just happy to be alive and to have so many passions that I want to pursue all at once! That's what makes life so exciting. :)

That is fabulous! You've done such a great job with it. :)
