Daily Wear :: getting my groove back

You go nine months where your body takes on a mind of its own,  stretching to lengths you never thought possible. Then post-partum you're still not back to normal and your ta-tas (if you're breastfeeding) now start to complicate getting dressed every day. All of this can take a beating on your style and self-image. Granted your responsiblity has now shifted greatly to more important things it's still a bit sad to look at your wardrobe. 

But I'm not going to keep sounding all doom and gloom, because I'm getting my dressing groove back :)

For Myself - Daily Wear

Although I spend my days making clothing for other people, I sometimes (or maybe I should say.. somehow?!) find the time to whip up something for myself. I recently took the glea blouse and made it out of a liberty print that I purchased last year. And I love it.

It's been awhile, right? I can't tell you how much I had to brighten this photo...it is so rainy and dark today. I'm okay with it though, just as long as it doesn't stick around for too long.
