I realized that my last three posts on this blog had something in common. They all featured asymmetrical styles.

Hello friends and welcome back! I’ve something new that I added to my wardrobe. This striking black and white blouse (or tunic?), was one of three things that I picked up during August.

My Sew Sew Life-Repair & Wear
Today, I have a tale of two skirts. They’re great summer skirts but each had a problem that made it unwearable. Using two very simple sewing techniques, I was able, in short order, to fix them.

White Jeans-6 Different Ways
Styling My New Pair of American Eagle Jeans White denim jeans are, for me, one of the quintessential harbingers of warm weather ahead and winter in the rear view mirror.
