Happy Tuesday, friends!!

I am so excited to be here with a slightly different kind of post today! Over on Instagram, my good friend Teri and I are teaming up to bring you each a style session showcasing our newly finished Evans Blazers.

You can check out our videos on IGTV by clicking HERE! We each styled the blazer 6 different ways, so you have a huge selection of styles to glean ideas from!

I decided to write this post to provide you with sources for everything from all 6 of my looks! Happy reading and clicking!

LOOK #1:

Evans Blazer {HJ Aff Link} // Kind Tank // Crossbody Bag (Similar Black) (Gray) // Liana Stretch Jeans - Fabric: Cone Mills S-Gene (Same) // Heels (similar) (similar)

It sure is hard to pick, but I think Look #1 might be my favorite! I love the pairing of a graphic tee with heels. Maybe not super practical for my mom-life, but for girls' night or date night, I'm all in!! :)

LOOK #2:

Nikko Top // Scarf (similar) // Bag (similar) // Ash Jeans - Fabric: Stretch Modal Denim from Joann (no longer available) // Booties

LOOK #3:

Portia Woven Top (Blogged HERE) // Round Woven Bag (similar) // Cali Demi Boot Jeans (Mine are sold out - linked to current styles) // Sock Booties (similar) (similar)

Again with the favorites! But Look #3 is in the Top 3, for me. I love simple, and this outfit has all those simple pieces that are elevated by little details. My fave.

LOOK #4:

Union St Tee (hacked - blog coming soon!) // High Rise Skinny Jeans (similar) (similar) // Crossbody Bag (Similar Black) (Gray) // Suede Block Heels (similar)

Well, here's the third favorite in my personal Top 3. What can I say? Animal print has my heart right now! And in a bold black & white it is just perfect paired with the navy blazer.

LOOK #5:

Lightweight Ribbed Sweater Tee (sold out) // High Rise Skinny Jeans (similar) (similar) // Pink Crossbody Bag (similar) (similar) // Leopard Print Loafers

LOOK #6:

Trevi Top (Mash-up; blogged HERE) // Scarf (similar) // Crossbody Bag (Similar Black) (Gray) // High Rise Slim Boy Jean (Mine are sold out - linked to current in stock styles) // Woven Mules - Black sold out (similar) (similar)

There you have it! Thanks so much for taking the time to read and for shopping my links. I appreciate you so much!!

Liana Jeans & Montana Shirt // Itch to Stitch - Make It, Wear It

Liana Jeans & Montana Shirt // Itch to Stitch - Make It, Wear It

Monday, July 8, 2019

Happy Monday friends!!

Today, I am over at Itch To Stitch, sharing all about my newest outfit, made up completely of ITS patterns!

*This post contains affiliate links for Itch To Stitch. If you decide to shop through these links, I make a small commission which helps keep this blog running! The fabric for this post was sponsored, the patterns come from my stash, which I had purchased previously to this invitation. All opinions are 100% my own.*

I am loving my newest pair of jeans, the Liana Jeans, they are SUPER comfy with basically no mods at all! You can read all about the details HERE. I used Cone Mills S-Gene denim from Raspberry Creek, who was kind enough to sponsor the fabric for this project. I'm so happy with the outcome, my jeans are truly, SO comfortable!

The biggest adjustment I made on this pair of jeans was to slim down the straight leg, which you can read more about on my blog post today at Itch To Stitch.

For the top, I decided to sew the Montana Shirt. I had been wanting to sew this shirt since it released, and I'm so happy I finally made it! I did make a few changes to the pattern to get this look, and I've got it all detailed out in the blog post over at Itch To Stitch!

The fabric for the shirt was also sponsored, I am so grateful to the shops who help out so generously! This gorgeous cotton eyelet is from Sly Fox Fabrics, and their color selection of eyelet fabric is simply gorgeous!

I was inspired to make this shirt based on this Pinterest image I found. #sewrtystyle is still one of my favorite ways to sew! I did make it with short sleeves rather than long, because *SUMMER* means it's just too hot for button up shirts with long sleeves!

I do wish the weather wasn't quite so sweltering at the moment so that I can wear this outfit all the time! Haha, I truly am enjoying our hot summer weather to the max, so I'm just happy that this outfit will be waiting for me in the fall! I know I will be wearing it constantly!

The next time I sew up these patterns, I do plan to make a few tweaks, but really only slight tweaks. I plan to raise the rise of the jeans by 1/4" - 3/8". And for the shirt, I will add more buttons to the placket. The pattern only includes 5 buttons, and I will probably add two more, while keeping things evenly spaced.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I truly do love these both of these patterns! The fit and the instructions are both superb. I love that ITS patterns includes individual cup sizing for the tops. It makes getting the perfect fit a breeze!

Have a wonderful week, my friends!
