Hello Beautiful people !! How are you all doing ? I am very excited to share this post about my new hair extensions from <a href="https://www.irresistibleme.com/" target="_blank">Irresistible me</a> ! Am excited because I can finally indulge in my love for colored/highlighted hair. I love the way a touch highlight adds spunk and dimension to both hair and your personality. I have colored my hair in past, everytime the color turned out pretty but the quality of hair deteriorated. The process was too harsh on my not so thick dry locks :( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alternatively, I researched about hair extensions to add color and volume to my hair but was not happy with the options I found. Either they were too expensive or the product reviews didn’t sound good, Until Now ! I am no expert in hair products but these extensions from “Irresistible me” get my approval and two thumbs up ! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When <a href="https://www.irresistibleme.com/" target="_blank">Irresistible me</a> reached out to me to try their product, I was curious and skeptical. The process began with me choosing the color of clip in extensions from their <a href="https://www.irresistibleme.com/hair-extensions/silky-touch.html" target="_blank">silky touch line</a>. They have a wide variety of colors to choose from. I felt picking color online would be tricky but they made it simple by explaining all the colors side by side in this reference <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUuuGX5KOmk" target="_blank">video</a>. I absolutely fell in love with this beautiful <a href="https://www.irresistibleme.com/hair-extensions/silky-touch/rosewood.html" target="_blank">Rosewood color (#99j)</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I had to pick the length and weight I wanted the extensions to be. I picked 16 inches considering the length of my hair and 140 gm weight to add volume. After ordering, the extensions arrived within 10 business days. </div>

The small pouch to the right contains tester clip-in to check for length and color. If you are not happy with the piece for any reason you can send the whole set back for full refund ! No restocking fee and free shipping both ways in US, how amazing is that !? Just make sure not to open the main pouch until you are satisfied with the tester because once opened they will not refund. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was happy with the length and the beautiful color. 140 gm set comes in 8 clip in pieces which was lot of hair for me. Since this was my first attempt at clip-in extensions, I had to go back and forth several times with the clips arrangement before I was happy with the way it looked. By the 7th clip-in, my head was full..hehe, I was so excited by the volume that I gave the last clip a skip ;)</div>

<a href="https://www.irresistibleme.com/hair-extensions/silky-touch.html" target="_blank">The silky touch extensions</a> are 100% remy human hair, can be washed, heat styled, cut and colored to blend in perfectly with your hair. The thickness of the hair decreases slightly towards the ends just like normal hair which provides a natural look while wearing them. The extensions are soft to touch and felt very natural when I run my fingers through. </div>

After 3 hours of wearing extensions , I did feel the weight of the clip-in’s tugging at my hair. It wasn’t painful just made me aware of the weight. I do not know if you get used to feeling the weight of wearing extensions after few uses. I guess I will find out. All in all I am very happy with the feel and look of the product as of now. Will see how it holds up to heat curling and future washes. Keeping fingers crossed that I found my answer to volume and color for my hair. </div>

I am not usually a crop top kind of person, but this <a href="https://goo.gl/dlRhYv">high neck lace up</a> top from <a href="http://www.makemechic.com/?utm_source=actstyles.blogspot.com&utm_medium=blogger&url_from=actstyles%C2%A0">Make Me Chic</a>, was just too chic to pass ! The top has the perfect length, not too short to make me conscious and I can style it with different separates. The lace tie up details in the front adds a fun factor to an otherwise simple top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Styled the top with easy high waisted denim skirt and tall boots. Tights and hat add texture and warmth to the look.</div>

Happy New Year friends ! Hope you all have a wonderful year ahead !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One week into January and the temperatures are already expected to go up in Nashville, weather forecasters are calling it early spring! The time to put away my heavy coats and take out this elegant and super chic layering <a href="http://us.shein.com/Coffee-Lapel-Tie-Waist-Long-Sleeve-Outerwear-p-281527-cat-1735.html?utm_source=actstyles.blogspot.com&utm_medium=blogger&url_from=actstyles" target="_blank">waterfall collar coat</a> (from <a href="http://us.shein.com/?utm_source=actstyles.blogspot.com&utm_medium=blogger&url_from=actstyles" target="_blank">Shein</a> )might come sooner than I thought this year.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Waterfall coats make a low-key statement, an effortless way to incorporate drama, softness and texture. The lapel drapes into soft folds or ruffles at the sides, making it flattering on just about anyone regardless of size. Here, I layered the look with soft and complementary colors.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Hello Beautiful people !! How are you all doing ? I am back to blogging after a long but much needed break. Very excited to style and share new collaborations for fall/winter season. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">As you can tell from my previous blog posts, I am a person who loves bold colors and mixing prints. I don’t do neutrals, in-fact I am tad bit intimidated by them. Whites, beiges, grays, and browns look easy to wear but I feel like they have a skin-dulling, frumpy looking effect on me. After some research and getting slightly obsessed with ‘Kardashian neutral palette trend’, I think (not conclusive yet) that the trick to elevate neutrals is to match them to your skin’s warm/cool undertone. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">So I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried an outfit consisting of only neutrals. Thanks to <a href="https://www.stylewe.com/?utm_source=lookbook.com&utm_campaign=helilan&utm_medium=social&utm_term=ID&utm_content=actstyles" target="_blank">StyleWe</a> it was easy to achieve the look. As my skin tone is warm I chose this pleated coffee brown midi <a href="https://goo.gl/zcA7os" target="_blank">skirt</a> with warm undertones paired with a soft beige turtle neck <a href="https://goo.gl/CqNbLe" target="_blank">sweater</a> . Love the pierced detail on the sleeves and the shoulder, adds a fun dimension to the look. The long faux pearl necklace draws the eye down and compliments the turtle neck. Ideally, the fashion rule is to match your shoes to your bag but, if you match your bottoms to your shoes you appear taller ! Yay ! Exactly what I need. The only placed I caved in and used color is on my lips! Couldn’t help !</span></div>

<a name='more'></a>When transitioning your wardrobe from summer to fall hues, don’t forget to show some love to your accessories as well. Wrist watch is one the easiest accessory to stylize a look, from simple to elegant to glam depending on the make of the watch. You might wonder, ‘Why wear a wrist watch when I always have my phone with me to tell time? ’. Well, a quick glance towards your wrist is a much classier way to keep tabs on the time during a date or a meeting. Not to mention how rude it would seem to your companions if you pulled out your phone during a conversation. Also everyone can rock a watch and it is a great way to punctuate an outfit.<br />
<br />
Let me introduce you to my new favorite <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/frankie/dark-sandalwood-and-emerald/actstyles" target="_blank"><b>Dark sandalwood and Emerald</b></a> watch by <b><a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/shop/women/actstyles" target="_blank">Jord</a></b>! Their watches are hand crafted with 100% wood. Yes, you heard it right ! They are made of wood and surprisingly they are light as a feather ! They cater to both men and women, offering different types of wood finishes and dial combinations. The one I fell in love with is from Frankie Series called <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/frankie/dark-sandalwood-and-emerald/actstyles" target="_blank">Dark Sandalwood & Emerald </a> : Vibrant emerald green and intensely hued sandalwood meet to form a powerful yet soothing palette.

<a href="http://www.zaful.com/?lkid=18955" target="_blank">Zaful </a>is an online one-stop shop for exciting and edgy fashion at an affordable price. When Zaful approached me for collaboration, I was over the moon. They have an extensive collection of clothes, shoes, accessories, etc.. And everything looked so tempting ! I had to browse for more than an hour, before I could narrow down my choices. This gorgeous turquoise dress is one of them. Love the beautiful print and boho vibe. It is an easy, throw on and go kind of dress, it has draw strings at the waist, to tighten for a fitted look or leave it loose for a casual feel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also got a beautiful <a href="http://www.zaful.com/rhinestone-engraved-floral-chokers-p_205744.html?lkid=18955" target="_blank">Choker set</a>, gorgeous <a href="http://www.zaful.com/crossbar-irregular-mirrored-sunglasses-p_201787.html?lkid=18955" target="_blank">Sunglasses</a> and another dress (unfortunately both the dresses are currently sold out, but check these pretty ones <a href="http://www.zaful.com/spaghetti-straps-cut-out-crochet-flowers-dress-p_204563.html?lkid=18955" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.zaful.com/embroidered-off-shoulder-blouse-p_213452.html?lkid=18955" target="_blank">here</a>) for a combined total of 45 $ ! Can’t get any more affordable then this ! Quality of products received seemed good for the price you pay. They offer Free standard shipping on orders over 30 $ and they ship worldwide !</div>

Very important tip when browsing for clothes, is to check your measurements against the size guide provided for each product on the site before ordering, because sizing differs from one company to another. Also read the reviews (if available) left by other shoppers on individual items to get a feel of the product. You can also read more about the company at <a href="http://www.zafulreviews.com/" target="_blank">Zaful Reviews</a></div>

Embroidery is a huge trend this fall, I see it on <a href="http://www.dezzal.com/knee-length-dresses/bell-sleeve-embroidery-dress-p_5945.html?lkid=1889" target="_blank">dresses</a>, <a href="http://www.dezzal.com/shorts/zipper-fly-cartoon-embroidery-shorts-p_30744.html?lkid=1889" target="_blank">shorts</a>, <a href="http://www.dezzal.com/jackets/floral-embroidered-baseball-jacket-p_72844.html?lkid=1889" target="_blank">bomber jackets</a> and even on <a href="http://www.dezzal.com/bags/cute-embroidery-cover-crossbody-bag-p_50887.html?lkid=1889" target="_blank">bags </a>! Excited about this trend because on my last trip to India, I bought beautiful embroidered fabrics and have been scratching my head on what to make out of them, well now I know ! You will have to check the tutorials to see what I came up with. I will upload them soon.</div>

For now, lets talk about this gorgeous embroidery <a href="http://www.dezzal.com/cardigans/floral-embroidered-color-block-cardigan-p_49459.html?lkid=1889" target="_blank">jacket</a> from <a href="http://dezzal.com/?lkid=1889" target="_blank">Dezzal</a>. How beautiful and vibrant is that !? Fell in love with this unique piece as soon I laid my eyes on it. I never owned anything this bold in color and design, so decided to step out of comfort zone and give it a try. Oh, boy! I was so glad when it arrived. The quality, color and details on the <a href="http://www.dezzal.com/cardigans/floral-embroidered-color-block-cardigan-p_49459.html?lkid=1889" target="_blank">jacket</a> is exceptional. </div>

Another favorite piece from <a href="http://dezzal.com/?lkid=1889" target="_blank">Dezzal</a> is this suede <a href="http://www.dezzal.com/bags/suede-gray-satchel-p_51938.html?lkid=1889" target="_blank">satchel</a>. The straps can be adjusted to make it into backpack or cross body bag. I have been looking for such versatile bag, to take on vacations, it is perfect size to hold my camera, travel docs and few essentials. And it is under 50$ ! Definitely a score for the use I will get out of it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">One of things I love about fashion blogging is the chance to work with different brands and try new things. When e-Shakti, </span>online clothing store,<span style="text-align: start;"> approached me for product review for the second time, I was very thrilled to work with them (Read my first review</span><a href="http://actstyles.blogspot.com/2014/07/Ethnic-Earthy.html" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank"> here</a><span style="text-align: start;"> ). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">In a sea of mass produced clothes, we are sure to run into a friend/colleague wearing the same outfit ! #twinning is how we save face ! Not any more ! With </span><a href="http://www.eshakti.com/" target="_blank">e-Shakti</a> , we can customize a dress from their website to the style and the fit we want. They have tons of styles on their site, each with its own unique set of options to customize. And they carry wide range of sizes from 0 to 36, you can even put in your own measurements to get a fabulous fit. In price, they fall under Jcrew/Banana republic, or Nordstrom store pricing category. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">As a person who loves to blog about DIYs and adding personal touches to clothes to make them stand apart, it was natural for me to be excited about this collaboration. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">I choose this Vibrant </span><a href="http://www.eshakti.com/productdetail.aspx?productid=CL0042515" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Stripe dress </a><span style="text-align: justify;"> from their store and customized it to my style. Stripes are one of the hottest trends of 2016, adding flared sleeves to the dress is like cherry on top. I even got to customize the neckline and length of the dress from </span><a href="http://www.eshakti.com/productdetail.aspx?productid=CL0042515" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">the original</a><span style="text-align: justify;">. Also, almost all their dresses come with pockets !! Who doesn’t love pockets I say ?! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">The fabric quality and the fit of the dress I received is very impressive. </span>What I love about the process is you can skip tailor/alterations and order exactly what you want in exactly your size. So hurry, visit their <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/" target="_blank">site</a> and give them a chance to impress you. </div>

I choose to make this skirt without a lining, as it would give me flexibility to wear short or long slip underneath. I was going for light and airy vibe with this one. Check out my other skirt tutorials <a href="http://actstyles.blogspot.com/2015/05/diy-gathered-skirt-with-pockets.html#more" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://actstyles.blogspot.com/2014/03/diy-circleskater-skirt.html" target="_blank">here</a> . </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Things you will need :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One and half to two yards of fabric, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Scissors, fabric pins, sewing machine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Matching thread and zipper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fold the fabric in half widthwise and fold that in half again. So that we have four layers of fabric to work with. Now take an old skirt that fits you perfectly at the waist and fold it twice along the waist and place it at the top edge of folded side of the fabric. Cut through four layers, along the skirt neck (as seen in picture below). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge2b4mDYxxClUcX51JG9a493KFFf7Maw4AKrz8nEgwaGzzad0wNc_8P47VYJXmBprkals2fnEYsYgAa0HMshL2UwVvOT2U5oBqe7IbjjGsDlgvgQqteXhBjRurpsRdf5kEXvddLK-OZe-A/s1600/edits-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge2b4mDYxxClUcX51JG9a493KFFf7Maw4AKrz8nEgwaGzzad0wNc_8P47VYJXmBprkals2fnEYsYgAa0HMshL2UwVvOT2U5oBqe7IbjjGsDlgvgQqteXhBjRurpsRdf5kEXvddLK-OZe-A/s640/edits-11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Now when you open the top fold, you will have your waist line cut out. From the edge of the waist line cut a diagonal line to the bottom of the fabric (or to your desired length) on both sides . Sew both side seam close, leaving few inches on one side for the Zipper. (Pic below)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0S7sR9CJPlaTsM9OA2Fmd9IFqJK6TxdrwXh_8Oim1mFwyF5KjZcGN4oW4Dg57_jBGSTLf39clTYIucgeUT3c_qj-98p9RCaMb9WDXY5S0ZvHvimhyphenhyphenVLumZhVpcbghY__bZ-0x81e6Y_T_/s1600/DSC_7299-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0S7sR9CJPlaTsM9OA2Fmd9IFqJK6TxdrwXh_8Oim1mFwyF5KjZcGN4oW4Dg57_jBGSTLf39clTYIucgeUT3c_qj-98p9RCaMb9WDXY5S0ZvHvimhyphenhyphenVLumZhVpcbghY__bZ-0x81e6Y_T_/s640/DSC_7299-11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make a waist band with length = to your waist measurement , width = 3 inches. You can add interface or lining to the band to make it crisp( It’s totally optional). Now fold the band in half widthwise, and sew at half inch seam allowance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdy4VNsJmt1c7AdoWqwFwf940Oobo6NCrz5sBumVn5nm0AKEXjnP60fkWZWT4Dc-FZjl-7sNGpqrFvyKYuU_wQOw4vMTWlasjJRqLeXsRIsWOUI-aJcHXPebwWtl-jzVV6pFg8uY6uAmqg/s1600/edits-111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdy4VNsJmt1c7AdoWqwFwf940Oobo6NCrz5sBumVn5nm0AKEXjnP60fkWZWT4Dc-FZjl-7sNGpqrFvyKYuU_wQOw4vMTWlasjJRqLeXsRIsWOUI-aJcHXPebwWtl-jzVV6pFg8uY6uAmqg/s640/edits-111.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Connect the skirt and waist band by placing them right sides together. Raw edges of the skirt and the band are touching, make sure to match up both ends. Sew at half inch seam allowance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last step is to flip the waist band up and add a zipper at the opening we have left in the side seam of the skirt. I refer to this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmsA7PLCcTs" target="_blank">video</a> on how to install zipper (works for both regular and invisible zipper).</div>

Spring/summer is my favorite season to DIY ! The warm crisp air and fresh blooms all around gets my creative juices flowing. This easy breeze summer dress is one of many DIYs coming up on the blog soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I fell in love with this floral mint fabric as soon as I laid my eyes on it ! The lace on the bottom adds delicacy to the beautiful floral print. I wore the dress with pearl necklace, which perfectly compliments the lace detail, and kept rest of the accessories simple. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">2. The top I used to trace is jersey(stretch) material but the mint fabric I am working with has no stretch hence to compensate I added 2 inch S.A . Otherwise add one inch seam allowance (S.A) all around. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Once you are happy with the pattern, draw a line in the center. Name one half ‘Front’ and other ‘Back' and cut them out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Fold your fabric in half and place the cut pattern paper on the fabric as shown below. Its important to place front pattern on the folded side and back pattern on the open end of the fold and NOT vise verse. If you are using lining fabric like I am , then cut front and back pieces in the same manner.</div>

<u>Making Straps:</u><br />
4. I cut 2 pieces with Length = 9 inches and Width = 2 Inches. Now fold each piece in half length wise and sew with 1/2 inch seam allowance (Dotted line below).<br />
Then cut off excess fabric as close to seam as possible (I used a pinking shears) and flip the strap inside out using a loop turner or safety pin.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf0BToHr0OcDSY8zEkOv5meu47qRDMxlRRV352RG3GWjNp6rjRDkNCXHGsRi_HE0ohXnMX0Q5uc3DiuvLxHre3TzbeA0b9gUVN0dVRuw_5-gYWEkbdKdkx4KmdbC0BnPlI5xguVbXmNqpS/s1600/pic3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf0BToHr0OcDSY8zEkOv5meu47qRDMxlRRV352RG3GWjNp6rjRDkNCXHGsRi_HE0ohXnMX0Q5uc3DiuvLxHre3TzbeA0b9gUVN0dVRuw_5-gYWEkbdKdkx4KmdbC0BnPlI5xguVbXmNqpS/s640/pic3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
5. Place the Lining and the mint fabric right sides facing together for both front and back pieces.<br />
<br />
Take one end of the finished strap, place it between the lining and mint fabric at the neck line of the front piece(like seen in the picture below) and other end of the strap at the neckline of the back piece. Do the same on the other side. <br />
<br />
And sew only the neckline and arm hole sides of both front and back pieces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxIpDShSMc5_ynE9n85agr2F-4vx5Au0FBJw51RyvMtaXxCRP6RZN80sBfcacw7WI1x1Pfb5WzG46cE1ybKXZsJP24prFstpVnM_M3lOQBNwSZXVKRWbpSMyoFNJg3qVuuOCXL7bncd5_s/s1600/pic005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxIpDShSMc5_ynE9n85agr2F-4vx5Au0FBJw51RyvMtaXxCRP6RZN80sBfcacw7WI1x1Pfb5WzG46cE1ybKXZsJP24prFstpVnM_M3lOQBNwSZXVKRWbpSMyoFNJg3qVuuOCXL7bncd5_s/s640/pic005.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Turn the front and back pieces inside out so that the seam gets tucked in and straps are outside. Sew the side seams by placing the front and back pieces of the bodice right side facing together.(dotted line at one inch SA)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<u>Making the Skirt</u>:<br />
7. Measure around your hips and add 10 inches to it, this will be your Total Width = Hips+10inches. Height = how ever long you want your dress to be. I kept mine to 20 inches .<br />
<br />
Now cut two rectangles with Width = Total width / 2 and height = 20 inches, name them front and back. Cut the Back piece in half again so we can add zipper at the end. Cut lining pieces in the same manner. (I kept the height of the lining fabric 5 inches shorter because I did not want blue lining underneath the white lace part )<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirj0uFNIb6h8A5ONBAb50xLFt6WslOJ_ibonT9LOoZcAZ1oD0z6QyjdhLca19NGqzukHNwZkKYVreQyKvnO2whueOdDKaCMkpkCKS-f8CgNfNi-hMbW2H7z3DibdckEyk319zWw3wNfxUg/s1600/pic6_edited-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirj0uFNIb6h8A5ONBAb50xLFt6WslOJ_ibonT9LOoZcAZ1oD0z6QyjdhLca19NGqzukHNwZkKYVreQyKvnO2whueOdDKaCMkpkCKS-f8CgNfNi-hMbW2H7z3DibdckEyk319zWw3wNfxUg/s640/pic6_edited-3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Place front and back pieces right sides facing together and sew the side seam (dotted lines in the above pic)<br />
<br />
8. Now you will have two long rectangle panels. Place the lining underneath your fabric matching up the ends. Find mid point on the fabric and make one inch pleats in the direction of arrows below.<br />
Also make 3 pleats on both ends leaving half inch S.A as shown below.<br />
<br />
Adjust the width of the pleats if you have to until the total width of the skirt is equal to total width of the bodice. Sew across the skirt panel at quarter inch SA to hold the pleats in place (dotted line).<br />

9. Place the Bodice and Skirt Piece facing right side together and sew on one inch SA (dotted line).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6IgRMznjz52Z9Jt9dMBhbKiNPcB6OQDlZxQ9sO-7kZBEotLu_9yiaRvXodV5q4vIoeFM8t-dqRdyTMt7tRNYw6aBsc1i4PZLFTW6jyEZ-G6KztHhY9fIKpYoy7kIgx3Aa-fRmBLbU5D6/s1600/pic8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6IgRMznjz52Z9Jt9dMBhbKiNPcB6OQDlZxQ9sO-7kZBEotLu_9yiaRvXodV5q4vIoeFM8t-dqRdyTMt7tRNYw6aBsc1i4PZLFTW6jyEZ-G6KztHhY9fIKpYoy7kIgx3Aa-fRmBLbU5D6/s640/pic8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Now all thats left to do is put in a zipper and sew the remaining open seam on the two ends close. I had finished lace edge on my fabric so I did not have to hem the mint fabric but I did hem the lining fabric. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And you are ready to step out with your beautiful dress !!</div>

The picture says it all ! I have taken outfit inspiration from the beautiful <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deepikapadukone/?hl=en" target="_blank">Deepika Podukone </a>, a brilliant actress and a fashion icon for many girls in India! Her style is effortless and elegant. I love how she can carry any outfit with utmost ease and make it look stunning !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using her elegant ensemble from the pic, I have put together similar pieces that I already have from my closet. I think wearing a faux leather vest, instead of the coat vest she has on, gives my look a more casual vibe. Also I wore a gingham print crop top to add pattern to the mix ! </div>

I am obsessed with these pants, have been wearing them constantly with so many combinations since I bought them. The soothing color and perfect fit makes it wearable all around the year. Sharing two of my favorite ways I love to style these pants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to call this look : Oh so Casual !! Its comfortable and simple, perfect for lunch date, running errands, shopping malls ... basically everywhere ! Guess what, I found this comfortable tee in the men’s section of the GAP store, I guess you can find treasures any where if you keep an eye out !! Ha ha </div>

The Second style is my chic look, add Aviators, high heels and LV for an instance chic quotient ! Wore simple black 3/4th sleeve top with printed boho vest, the fringe details on the vest adds dimension to the look without taking attention away from accessories. </div>

Hello Friends, Gingham seems to be a huge trend this spring. Seeing different variations and styles of this trend in Old Navy, Nordstrom, Anthropologie etc.,to name a few. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, I am sharing an easy way to add and style gingham trend with your existing wardrobe pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am using my husband’s old gingham shirt which he bought from Express (I think), the Shirt was in really good shape and hubby wasn’t using it anymore. Hence made its way into my closet..ha ha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simple process, cut off both sleeves. I wanted the vest to be fitted so cut approx 1/2 inch on both sides of the shirt, skip this step if you like loose fit. Sew the sides seams close and hem around the armhole to finish.</div>

Hello Summer ! Time to show off those legs and put away our winter blues. Lets get started with this easy skirt with pockets. You will need 1 1/2 yards of fabric, waistline and waist to hem line measurement.<br />
Start by cutting two rectangles, Width = Waist x 2+ one inch SA,<br />
Height = depending on how long you want your skirt, I kept mine to 20 inches + one inch seam allowance.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Name the rectangles Front and back. Cut the back piece in half (picture above) so we can add a zipper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Making pockets : Place your hand on a piece of paper and draw a tear shape around the hand (picture below). Keep in mind to place the hand at a downward angle and give plenty of room around the hand. Pockets can be as deep as you want. When happy with the shape add 1/2 inch seam allowance all around like shown.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Place the paper pattern on folded fabric and cut around the pattern. You will have 2 pieces that are mirror image to each other. If you want pockets on both sides of the skirt then cut one more pair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOH1BKAL5CcWC24F441CSPREzgCk1cUzbOk4_png003bDBlB3xQp-8KJWO_m0ejTixr3104RkrX8uav-FI87CIONSZR8t7ytv9TFHtXQpqPxrsbTpDygGHK0leiVUVQmgq43r82O9UG7pP/s1600/DSC_6518.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOH1BKAL5CcWC24F441CSPREzgCk1cUzbOk4_png003bDBlB3xQp-8KJWO_m0ejTixr3104RkrX8uav-FI87CIONSZR8t7ytv9TFHtXQpqPxrsbTpDygGHK0leiVUVQmgq43r82O9UG7pP/s640/DSC_6518.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, You should have 4 pocket pieces, one long front piece, two smaller back pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Place each pocket piece, right sides together, onto the skirt panels, one on each side and stitch (yellow pins). I placed the pocket 3 inches from the top of the skirt on all pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivQNPJfY3Gu66u_NmfGTdLnfL73SjYhfOCd0nimPFNGn1QprnDx_boEO_ullBd8U-SRrzvskOG0Pam495MXsq9jknUnZHwuZ-s-9bjyw4nDiKU2Xxvq5CgyYUGeVfMXcJnFLvjrYoIAUH4/s1600/DSC_6534-Edit-Edit.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivQNPJfY3Gu66u_NmfGTdLnfL73SjYhfOCd0nimPFNGn1QprnDx_boEO_ullBd8U-SRrzvskOG0Pam495MXsq9jknUnZHwuZ-s-9bjyw4nDiKU2Xxvq5CgyYUGeVfMXcJnFLvjrYoIAUH4/s640/DSC_6534-Edit-Edit.JPG" width="638" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the pockets are stitched. Lay front and back skirt panels, RST, stitch along the line shown below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now you will have one big rectangle panel, adjust the stitch length of you’re sewing machine to the longest and sew 2 lines along, at 1/4th, 1/2 inch, from top of the skirt. Do not back stitch at both ends. Holding one of the threads, pull and gather until the width becomes equal to your waistline measurement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuSq_jmSGa0Fj0oYDTTuz3tQms0ZwqODUp8qIWyAfuHw0KZ2XFs2m01U6UGH2HhGq0S137b1kRJaNlbBOdVOzjTrnBb80MUM0-pseGIgF0ZxIhnLGZKStXgGfRSH5zvwLSD2kCz4xcLHTG/s1600/Green+skirt.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuSq_jmSGa0Fj0oYDTTuz3tQms0ZwqODUp8qIWyAfuHw0KZ2XFs2m01U6UGH2HhGq0S137b1kRJaNlbBOdVOzjTrnBb80MUM0-pseGIgF0ZxIhnLGZKStXgGfRSH5zvwLSD2kCz4xcLHTG/s640/Green+skirt.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
Make a waist band by cutting a rectangle piece with width = 4 inches+one inch SA and length = waistline+1inch SA. I added interface(optional) to band. First fold in half inch SA on top and bottom, iron to hold in place and then fold waist band in half.<br />
Insert the above gathered side of the skirt into the folded waist band(right pic below) and stitch across to secure both pieces in place.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now sew in a zipper(Video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmsA7PLCcTs" target="_blank">here</a>) to back of the skirt and lastly hem the skirt. </div>

<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
Hello lovely people ! How are y’all doing ? Does it ever happen to you that you walk into a store and see an interesting piece, but are not really sure how or with what you will wear it ? Would you buy it and figure out how to style it later ? Or walk away ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am guilty of doing the former more than the latter. The effect of this, more than once, the piece might not be in sync with rest of my wardrobe... Then I end up doing more shopping...Grrrr.. !!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, to solve my problem of burning a big hole in my wallet, when I see something I love, I try to imagine at least two ways I can style the item with my existing wardrobe pieces; if I can’t come up with anything, I walk away ! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought these printed leggings recently and am excited to share 4 different ways I style it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look 1: Simple and easy way to style any legging is to pair it with long tops or tunic, here I wore blue t-shirt dress and added hints of red accents with belt & shoes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQ5-gOsCvGPz_5WJmPyUCGhXGqVGnazImF2pXPxw_t1w_1bOOlPb7J2fAShwj3gR3m6vMrREusvSqSSN7CyvfsOw5xfcchDixMDzZ2kYflU-VOf8yfpxy-COhtBOJUpelLedepJRTwBfN/s1600/DSC_6499.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQ5-gOsCvGPz_5WJmPyUCGhXGqVGnazImF2pXPxw_t1w_1bOOlPb7J2fAShwj3gR3m6vMrREusvSqSSN7CyvfsOw5xfcchDixMDzZ2kYflU-VOf8yfpxy-COhtBOJUpelLedepJRTwBfN/s640/DSC_6499.jpg" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look 2 : Here I played with pastel hues and layering to style the legging. The combination is very soothing and chic .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj41CRCH2sbBrwQwcuBYw4q8ENzPwBRFhV-nBaKvBAp79ViFA-22h5Ll6_0qGTPylSsCgNVaUjsiz0BvUaGy7oH_1nx5HrhuNkp4VfuuC_Rg7FaS8V2w1DgfivaeDaOzTSGBjExNF3p6eQP/s1600/DSC_6431.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj41CRCH2sbBrwQwcuBYw4q8ENzPwBRFhV-nBaKvBAp79ViFA-22h5Ll6_0qGTPylSsCgNVaUjsiz0BvUaGy7oH_1nx5HrhuNkp4VfuuC_Rg7FaS8V2w1DgfivaeDaOzTSGBjExNF3p6eQP/s640/DSC_6431.jpg" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look 3 : You can’t go wrong with black on black ! Wearing a high-low black top & nude heels. Jacket adds a pop color and structure to the outfit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZ8dQekLE_maHPyNPISFbsP6LbL4mEGTVzEUG-WI0e_yg74ddVHL816pObMGhfaBRq9v71UR7JNDpdjlWHHrcs5iWvNe3qoiQFGe-FKeokPmp3pb0OlW3JRZ4b_rvbPR2DlaOYTPWfkGQ/s1600/DSC_6458.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZ8dQekLE_maHPyNPISFbsP6LbL4mEGTVzEUG-WI0e_yg74ddVHL816pObMGhfaBRq9v71UR7JNDpdjlWHHrcs5iWvNe3qoiQFGe-FKeokPmp3pb0OlW3JRZ4b_rvbPR2DlaOYTPWfkGQ/s640/DSC_6458.jpg" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look 4: Mixing prints has become my new fascination. One easy rule to follow is to keep two prints in same color family. Here, the delicate floral print on the scarf balances the busy print on the legging. And pink sweater acts as a perfect medium between two prints.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the above pic, I have on a basic t-shirt, dark jeans and flats, a casual and simple outfit to run errands in but it is also tad bit boring, don’t you think ? How fun would it be if you can spice it up and wear it on other occasions too?! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me show you two ways to style this basic outfit into a chic or cute look!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1: Add a statement piece - Color /Pattern /Print /Texture /Shine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb0RMP5HTo17upCo3-QmgxOZ6uLCotk-LkW1EGvOKe754-dkLkPhallnhhzzHODdVHHsnLLp0ovjwZLzu0Yiwn1Dx9UIzFOCWPHUvNkT-effzwiepfNHkyPehgXDAcBO1houe-Hk56h308/s1600/edits.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb0RMP5HTo17upCo3-QmgxOZ6uLCotk-LkW1EGvOKe754-dkLkPhallnhhzzHODdVHHsnLLp0ovjwZLzu0Yiwn1Dx9UIzFOCWPHUvNkT-effzwiepfNHkyPehgXDAcBO1houe-Hk56h308/s1600/edits.jpg" height="494" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 2: Add a completer piece - Structured Jacket /Cardigan /Boyfriend blazer /Belt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgydvkm5GlJED0fllHUCwSsAKaRWH01ifG8SDZf38dpfPTnkbvZjYQrk2Rj7XgL-qRApcVe0aZLprYIMlLvT_QdtnNDpqv16vgKAhaaZk_paQjvmnLlQUw7Qbfsep3ajo11AEm_595IN_xI/s1600/edits-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgydvkm5GlJED0fllHUCwSsAKaRWH01ifG8SDZf38dpfPTnkbvZjYQrk2Rj7XgL-qRApcVe0aZLprYIMlLvT_QdtnNDpqv16vgKAhaaZk_paQjvmnLlQUw7Qbfsep3ajo11AEm_595IN_xI/s1600/edits-001.jpg" height="494" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 3: Add Accessories - Bag /shoes /clutch /jewelry</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAAD_XLz3Q8JjBLqcOSM7WoVwltlHnk1aEokiw61ooSC_SauadIDSbK7PUgLPV2EtNqV1H2987vRQi0bc5DN18JyU6U0X8EDsTME_VKr0gXs1-4sM_rHiKg1b9EeJvSue2U2XGFI5aMPBv/s1600/edits-002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAAD_XLz3Q8JjBLqcOSM7WoVwltlHnk1aEokiw61ooSC_SauadIDSbK7PUgLPV2EtNqV1H2987vRQi0bc5DN18JyU6U0X8EDsTME_VKr0gXs1-4sM_rHiKg1b9EeJvSue2U2XGFI5aMPBv/s1600/edits-002.jpg" height="494" width="640" /></a></div>

With holidays & party season coming up, your hands want to reach for the ever classy LBD, but hold on and think pink this winter ! I know, its a popular spring & summer color but implementing pink in your wardrobe this winter can be fun too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here, I paired powder pink skirt with fuzzy bubble gum pink sweater. I absolutely love the little details; pearls on the neck line and delicate embroidery done on the skirt and black accents add a touch of classy to the overall look. I think this is perfect for cocktail and dinner parties. </div>

I made the paper pattern as per the measurements given in the above picture. Added half inch seam allowance, placed it on the chosen fabric and cut four pieces.</div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="text-align: center;">I was traveling a lot recently, Providence (RI) was one of the places I had been to. The drive from NY to RI was breathtaking, couldn’t get enough of the spectacular fall foliage. I was promised more of this gorgeousness at Roger Williams park and I wasn’t disappointed ! Lakes, elaborate landscapes of greenery changing into vivid autumn colors- reds, yellows, oranges, browns ahhh...it was beautiful. </span><br />

The Outfit is inspired by the changing color of the leaves that fall brings us. The cream ruffle dress with subtle embroidery is perfect to add layering and keeps the whole look feminine. The mustard cardigan, beautiful kashmiri scarf and crossbody bag add rich fall hues. Added a skinny belt to keep the body shape</div>

Hello lovely people, here is an outfit I put together with my favorite fall colors, Burgundy & Olive green, I wore this on my recent trip to Nashville, what a vibrant and cheerful city! The awesome part is that, there is live music every where you go! I had a wonderful time enjoying the food, music and museums. </div>

I tend to gravitate towards darker colors during fall, I teamed the dark pants with a black crop top, which gives the illusion of longer legs, black boots & black handbag. The olive green jacket adds lightness and simplifies the whole look. </div>

Psst.. shorter version is created by wearing it upside down ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All you need is few measurements and small snips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So lets get started !</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You will need :</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Fabric - Woolen shawl or medium to heavy weight fabric, </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Measuring tape, pencil, scissors, sewing machine (or needle & thread). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Measurements: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Shoulder width. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Hip Measurement.<br />
3. Arm hole measurement. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Length you want for the cowl neck (I would suggest between 3 to 9 inches).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fold your shawl in half and place it on flat surface. From top right corner of the shawl (folded edge), mark the length you want your cowl neck to turn over. I kept mine to 9 inches(vertical length).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Divide your shoulder measurement in half, mine was 14/2 = 7inches and mark that measurement(horizontal length).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE-jP3njIgd6HF2-FLA9XNHvpuLqD1l3tGEpm3FYSLbzMsCBO3BLl1kC10VsqMv8jkE0ionSDbgCQvGjymLSzxwHsxgnyEdL6eIijcxaPAo3kqohODCdY-YMfu-xYY3KrkkYhfdiatmVbl/s1600/DSC_5265.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE-jP3njIgd6HF2-FLA9XNHvpuLqD1l3tGEpm3FYSLbzMsCBO3BLl1kC10VsqMv8jkE0ionSDbgCQvGjymLSzxwHsxgnyEdL6eIijcxaPAo3kqohODCdY-YMfu-xYY3KrkkYhfdiatmVbl/s1600/DSC_5265.JPG" height="460" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The point where these two measurements meet is where your armhole starts. My armhole measure was 15inches and added 2inches to it for ease. I made an oval shape with my tape measure (17inches, it doesn’t have to be perfect) and placed it at the mark we made above.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigWyZVfWDQWrb_0i-KqKA75rWT_et3bsALhBjVeT3zIloqTIvue4hrpllkUNLfZdCoLrpPzhGURS03ilrnW-IthESW26kyJAp-5IqFfM0mB1N0jo0aURTzRy12sstJre2LSFXQiFz_WQbY/s1600/DSC_5271.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigWyZVfWDQWrb_0i-KqKA75rWT_et3bsALhBjVeT3zIloqTIvue4hrpllkUNLfZdCoLrpPzhGURS03ilrnW-IthESW26kyJAp-5IqFfM0mB1N0jo0aURTzRy12sstJre2LSFXQiFz_WQbY/s1600/DSC_5271.JPG" height="640" width="422" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can draw freehand a guide line along the tape, so its easy to cut. Take your scissors and snip away, make sure you cut through both layers, because you want identical armholes right :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpePlLO0KkpF6iAX10xC4DGTz_WLSQZPu9laR305XLLA3RsyC8zrJXqbKvc5viAx2qbj05B1ixxohnLBXdliw8IICSuWzYnjgU6c2wszdIy8YkR_KryIy218iwHzMOA6QQNHPWGBVFXXf/s1600/DSC_5274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpePlLO0KkpF6iAX10xC4DGTz_WLSQZPu9laR305XLLA3RsyC8zrJXqbKvc5viAx2qbj05B1ixxohnLBXdliw8IICSuWzYnjgU6c2wszdIy8YkR_KryIy218iwHzMOA6QQNHPWGBVFXXf/s1600/DSC_5274.JPG" height="640" width="422" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hemmed around both armholes, If your material doesn’t fray you can skip this step.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now divide your hip measurement/2 and add 2.5 inches to it. This will the width of the vest, cut the excess fabric as seen below.</div>

My shawl has border going on all sides, skip this step if you do not have one, I didn’t want to cut it off, so I pleated the fabric backwards till I reached my measurement, pinned and sewed (along the yellow pins below pic). </div>

Hello Everyone, I am back with a DIY after a long time, more coming soon. I made a simple and fun top out of an old scarf & tank I had in my closet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is how I did it :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lately, I’ve been obsessing about the art of mixing prints. The idea of playing with prints & textures and mixing the unexpected goes against conventional rules of matching. Nevertheless, I am trying to master the skill.<br />
Fitting in with the theme of freedom to experiment with different styles, I went to see the Lady Liberty last weekend ! Enjoyed tour of the historic island and the spectacular view of the city. </div>

Here, I paired a large bold print cardigan with smaller, less dominant polka dot shorts. Scale is the key, mixing two prints of equal size could be too busy for the eyes.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">I absolutely love this cardigan, there is something so carefree and fun about the fringe. It was so comfortable to wear and protects me against the sun. The tan polka dot shorts offer a contrasting complement to it. </span></div>
