Me-Made-May Day 6

Me-Made-May

Day 6

Today I wanted to try a more casual look with a rather adventurous print. I was running around doing stuff most of the day so I wanted it to be comfortable and casual, but also give a little bit of my usual flair.

 Basics:
   Top - Me-made abstract watercolor lilies and bamboo top
   Bottoms - high-rise jeans from Old Navy
   Shoes - brown sandals from Macy's
   Accessories - N/A



I made this top on a whim just a few days ago. Late one night I got inspiration for this fabric because of its abstract nature to just make a very large basic top and then use fun pleats and darts to make the shape something more suitable.

Today's outfit score

The only reason I took a point off is that in the pictures this shirt is slightly shorter than I envisioned, but it could also be my funky posing. Wearing it it felt the perfect length. As is I would probably only add a half inch or so so it's not a huge deal.

I'm very happy that I decided to make this top, even if it is a little funky and uneven. I think that the pattern hides my mistakes well and doesn't translate as garish as I originally thought it was going to.

After we had already taken these pictures I tried this top on with some new high-waisted army green pants that had just arrived and I felt that these pants were just a better style for the top. I actually hate the way jeans fit on me anyways and it is possible that these particular jeans are a little tight on me, but the next size up was way too big. If anyone has some good pants patterns please send them my way!
