I'm seeing a cream color scheme theme with a lot of DownEast Basics' new items. And I'm okay with that. However, I'm more okay with the blue moon colors they're offering.
I need spring.

Delight in Vintage Hem
I found a great alternative to wearing leggings and tights under a short dress or skirt. I actually own a pair of leggings that I have yet to wear. They just don't look right. It's so sad.
So, along comes Cardigan Empire to show me the light. Instead of always wearing tights or leggings (which I think are a great option in many cases) you can layer a Vintage Hem under your outfit.
I actually did a similar thing to the dress I wore at my wedding reception- I had my mother-in-law sew some black lace to the flounce in my skirt to lengthen it for modesty. It turned out great, especially since she added the lace elsewhere on the dress to unify it.

It turned out great, especially since she added the lace elsewhere on the dress to unify it.The idea of adding a slip that not only keeps the skirt/dress from clinging but adds length too is awesome. Why didn't I think of that?
Check out all of the great vintage hems and don't forget to enter Cardigan Empire's giveaway!

Delight in DownEast
Again, I find myself wanting a number of DownEast Basics items. The catalogue arrived at my house on Monday and I went through it more than once wishing that Santa really existed so he could bring me about 10 things for Christmas.
I want the dress above in white. It's absolutely stunning. I asked Kev if I could spend an inappropriate amount of my income on some things I don't need. He said absolutely not. It's good that one of us can be practical when we're on a tight budget again for the Holidays.
It sure isn't any fun though.

Delight in Love21
Love21 is a slightly more sophisticated line from Forever21. The items are typically more modest and grown up than what I usually find in stores.
And I have fallen hard for two lovely dresses:
Satin Pleat Front Skirt
Water Lily Woven Skirt
