\"stylo-mintcoat1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oooh, I get my own STYLO cover version! Celina<\/a> powered through technical snafus, and it looks like the second issue <\/a>\u00a0is now live, and it was so worth the wait, no? Look at K, giving her best bossy look in what has to be the most beloved creation to date: the Cali Faye Cadette Coat<\/a>. It trumps the Frozen costume<\/a>, which says it all. Tons of pictures alert!<\/p>\n

\"stylo-mint-coat7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So the theme was “fresh-citrus-metallics,” and I immediately knew I had to use this mint wool from my stash. The Cadette Coat pattern seemed like a natural fit (and a little surprising, I hope), and I utilized every last bit of silver poly lining I had. The buttons are military-esque and silver and incredibly awesome. K was a spot-on size 7 according to the measurements so I thought I should sew the 8, but with my usual eyeballing method I had an inkling the 7 was a better bet. It might be just a smidgen short on length, which makes it more of a jacket than a coat, but K has publicly declared this her favorite outerwear ever.<\/p>\n

\"STYLO-sanae1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With her $9.99 Baby Gap shades, I’m wowed by how much older she looks. She refused to take them off for several days and nights, and of course we now have no idea where they are. Doesn’t it look like she’s channeling Audrey Hepburn in her Tiffany’s-blue coat?<\/p>\n

\"STYLO-sanae\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As this was going to be in a magazine<\/em> (can you tell how very thrilled I am about this?), I felt like i needed to bring my A-game and actually venture out of the house for the photoshoot. Since I had to go drop off the car in the Queen Anne neighborhood to get it serviced and there are a number of picturesque locations within the nearby Seattle Center<\/a>, I conned K with a promise of gluttonous amounts of sweets and dragged her with me. Above she’s standing in front of the International Fountain, which brought back a lot of memories since I used to hang out here all the time when K was a baby.<\/p>\n

\"STYLO-sanae9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She thought it would be funny to use her doll’s umbrella as a prop. Those sweet ballet flats are also from Baby Gap, but they turned out to be toe-pinchers and hobble-inducing so we had to change shoes. It played out like this: I lugged my camera and a heavy bag filled with extra shoes, clothes, props, and commanded K to pose this way and while we both got soaked in the rain and pretty soon, things started unraveling…<\/p>\n

Exhibit A – A refusal to stop reading her book (we also had a kerfuffle about the tights as she didn’t want to take them off):<\/p>\n

\"stylo-mint-coat4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exhibit B – Hints of discontent on her face:<\/p>\n

\"stylo-mint-coat3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Exhibit C – All out mutiny:<\/p>\n

\"stylo-mint-coat6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And so the whole adventure reminded me of why I continue to take pictures in my bedroom against the same wall week in and week out. We’re both creatures of habit and the novelty of the new location wore off quickly. But there were some gems from the photoshoot, and I’m so glad we made the effort.<\/p>\n

\"STYLO-sanae11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, I also sewed this sweet pintuck dress in a quilting cotton that I’ve had so long, I believe I might have purchased it when K was a baby. It’s a cream base with slightly lighter polka dots and feels fresh and a little retro at the same time. The dress is a pattern by Heidi and Finn<\/a>, which like Cali Faye, was new to me, and it’s such a great dress! There’s a blouse version too that I definitely want to make.<\/p>\n

\"stylo-mint-coat5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"STYLO-sanae10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Outfit #1 was a hit with K, and I’m pleased with it myself. Stay tuned for outfit #2 tomorrow!<\/p>\n
