And Fall begins...soon-ish!

Fashion designers have to stay a step ahead of styles...or at least a season. While others may be ready, I confess it is tough to get Fall in my head. It is muggy here and outdoors is mosquitos and lots of sweltering weather still. I just set up my studio again and found...Yay!! the last lurking box of my sewing tools and trims. So I am beginning to work on Fall, but a long time later than I should have. I did make some new pics of Fall fashions this week, but I am not really going full steam yet.

I found a fun pinstriped grey fabric in my stash...perfect for a little excursion into a school style jumper. I made a full dress of it back a ways, but the jumper is so much for fun. It has a halter neckline and can be worn alone in this warmer weather, or with a tshirt or little white puffy sleeve blouse when the temps become more traditionally autumn-ish. So to inspire myself, I'm off to find and post favs from Anthropologie, Free People and Etsy sellers...and to get ready for more things that work for cooler weather, even here :-)
