\"whitefloral-naniiroshorts1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good morning! Although I make K a lot of clothes, there’s really only a small subset that she’ll wear over and over. This outfit I completed this weekend is destined to be in that small subset.<\/p>\n

\"whitefloral-naniiroshorts7\"<\/a> \"whitefloral-naniiroshorts9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The top is puff-sleeve top 2.0 (the actual tee version of this dress<\/a> I made a couple of weeks ago). I got this amazing embossed-looking floral Anna Sui cotton\/nylon blend knit at Nancy’s Sewing Basket<\/a> a year ago, and I’ve been on the hunt for the right pattern. I think I nailed it, if I do say so myself, because K looooooooves this top. The knit is sturdier and holds the puff sleeve shape nicely and textured fabrics in general buoy me. It wasn’t the cheapest option so I only purchased about a yard and that was plenty to make this top. The pattern is from this book<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

\"whitefloral-naniiroshorts6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the shorts! When K slipped these on, she sighed, “Ooooh, these are comfy<\/em>….” She wore them two days in a row. It’s a Nani Iro Painted Herringbone double-knit from about a year ago as well, and at first I was satisfied with how they turned out, even though I couldn’t match up the sides perfectly.<\/p>\n

Then she turned around…<\/p>\n

\"whitefloral-naniiroshorts4\"<\/a> \"whitefloral-naniiroshorts5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hmmmmmm. Not loving the angle — looks a bit like underwear, no?<\/p>\n

\"whitefloral-naniiroshorts2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ah well. Who am I to critique a pair of shorts she so adores? The shorts are from this excellent book<\/a>\"\". Please ignore the uneven folds at the hem — I hand-stitched them in place, and I don’t know why they’re so mismatched.<\/p>\n

\"whitefloral-naniiroshorts8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Did you notice the pretty necklace that K is wearing? It was a gift from the ever kindly reader Karen F., and she included a few other darling beads that can be somehow\u00a0attached to clothing. I’m intrigued by the idea and am trying to figure out how to work them in. They are made by Les Pois Plume<\/a>, a French company. Super cute. I’m so appreciative of these generous acts of kindness that would never happen if it weren’t for this online space. Thank you, Karen!<\/p>\n

How was Father’s Day for you? We celebrated M with yet another impromptu trip up to Bellingham, because K is obsessed with the Comfort Inn up there (living large, that’s what we do — to be fair, it’s a very nice one that happens to have won an award). We roamed around Western Washington, which is picturesque, and caught a showing of the movie Inside Out<\/em>. I thought it was so, so<\/em> good and I probably don’t have to tell you that I was bawling like a baby, mostly from relating so much with the movie. I tell you, someone needs to remove my tear ducts. At any rate, a happy weekend was had by all.<\/p>\n

P.S. The winner of the Linen, Wool, Cotton Kids<\/a> giveaway is Laura. Congrats!<\/p>\n
