I’m now on Bloglovin!

I finished my second pair of @truebias Hudson Pant

I finished my second pair of @truebias Hudson Pants in this super soft navy velour fabric gifted from @minervadotcom 💙
I feel like I’m channeling early 2000s Britney Spears in these - the era of the velour Juicy Couture tracksuit 😂
Next, I’ll be making a sweater in matching fabric using the @chalkandnotch Page Hoodie pattern! I can’t wait to finish this velour set and share more about working with this beautiful fabric on the Minerva blog! Oh, and the doggies seem to enjoy the softness of this fabric too 😀

*ALTERATIONS*
Swipe to see how much a difference alterations make with this jacket!
When I finished my @greenstylecreations Sundance Jacket the back was really loose and the shoulders too wide. I took to my stories and asked for help on how to fix it so that it is more fitted. I received a recommendation to take it in at the center back. I was able to make that minimal adjustment which helped the fit and brought the shoulders in as well without having to touch them.
I didn’t rip out any seams - I blended my stitch line in to where the center seam joined the neckline and pleated section, then curved my new seamline (pic is the last photo).
I’m super happy with how it turned out and now I feel more confident wearing my jacket!!

What is your favorite way to wear a button up shir

What is your favorite way to wear a button up shirt? Today on my blog I’m sharing 12 different ways to style the @paper_theory Olya Shirt - or really any button up shirt. I had lots of fun coming up with different ways to wear this shirt, and threw in some extra petite friendly tips in as well!
Let me know which style is your favorite!

May is Mental Health month. I have been fairly qui

May is Mental Health month. I have been fairly quiet about it although I’ve shared some of my struggles in the past. Truth is, I’ve been scared to talk about it again because sharing a diagnosis I received just 8 months ago is mildly terrifying. But I will choose to be brave and spread some awareness around bipolar disorder to reduce the stigma around mental health.
On the internet, we typically see the good parts of people’s lives, but especially those struggling with mental illness it’s not something you can really “see”, which is why opening up a conversation is so crucial. What most people don’t know is that under the mask of my successes in life having bipolar disorder type 2 and not knowing it for almost a decade ran my life. I’ve experienced both hypomania (a milder form of mania), depression, and even moments where I lost control of my mind and body. I thought it was my fault - stressing myself out from all these activities and projects I would over-enthusiastically take on while hypomanic, then crashing into a depression from burnout and overwhelm. These cycles caused a lot of inconsistency in my life, dark moments, and confusion around my sense of self and place in the world.
Now, I’m thriving and happy with the help of a psychiatrist and therapist. I take medication every single day to manage things. I am able to experience much more joy in my life and hobbies, and relationships with the people most important to me. But the best part is that my mind is finally quiet on most days and not racing 100 miles an hour! I am not “cured”, but I put in the effort to keep things managed.
If you are struggling with your mental health in any shape or form, please don’t be scared to seek help. Nowadays (especially with COVID), most providers have telemedicine options so you can feel safe in the comfort of your own home if physically going out to seek help scares you. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and I promise that the effort you put into your mental health is worth it. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here for you.
And lastly, always treat people with kindness and empathy because you never know what they’re going through.

#memademay2020 day 14 is brought to you by: Totoro, the 2004 MySpace photo, dreamy black linen from @blackbirdfabrics, and the @paper_theory Olya shirt. Ok, so apparently May is the month of the Olya shirt! All my reviews for the next couple of weeks are about it 😂 but I can’t wait to share some more thoughts on how sewing my second shirt went compared to my first! PS I only put clothes and makeup on today for a 1 hour video call 🤷🏽‍♀️

*weekend sewing plans*
My goal this weekend is to finish Olya shirt no. 2. This one has taken me less time to sew since I already made the one I shared in my last post! All I need to do are the button placket, collar, cuffs, and hem and I’ll have another gorgeous linen button up in my me-made wardrobe 😍

I’m excited to finally share my @paper_theory Olya Shirt in a dreamy washed linen from @blackbirdfabrics! Man oh man this shirt was a challenge for me for some reason. I’ve sewn many button ups but this one is constructed differently! It was a bit frustrating honestly 😬 but not at fault of the pattern - I am sometimes just horrible with interpreting instructions sometimes, especially when it’s something unconventional or not what I’m used to.
There were a lot of learning moments in making this shirt 😅 I shared all about my challenges and successes in a blog post, per usual. You can find more photos and read about my experience there! *link in bio*
