"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

 - Coco Chanel

Another sewing project is completed from the pile of fabric I have accumulated.

I bought this fabric on a whim, attracted by the pretty colours and beautiful feel of the silk.

I decided to use it with an adapted pattern inspired by Leighton Meesters 

awesome peach shirt-dress in Monte Carlo.

I spent every scene in the movie with this dress admiring it...

I incorporated some of the things I liked into my own dress;

the full skirt, cinched waist and buttons down the front, big pockets.

I left out sleeves since it is both for summer and the print might have made it too much.

I  also noticed when I was about to sew the buttons on 

that they almost perfectly matched my nail polish!

The polish is one of my few remaining non-Butter ones called Waters Edge by L'Oreal. 

I'm a bit of a sucker for all things turquoise :)

What's a colour you always seem to gravitate to?
