It does feel right for what I want to achieve. I wouldn't have come up with that phrase without the forum! (I had come up with "understated inventive" as my style description--similar, but not quite as, well, elegant!)<br /><br />Joy, I got the Fidgi Mary Janes last spring/summer at Renee's Contemporary Clothing, my favorite boutique, in Everett, WA. I think Nordstrom had them, too. I felt like they were kind of redundant, as I have a pair of slingback Mary Janes in black, but my goodness, what a difference the color makes. These are not redundant at all, and they were my go-to shoes all summer.<br /><br />Diane G, I am always interested in your posts, too. I admire you for the skill it takes to do what you do. I love sewing so much, I've often thought about making a business of sewing for others. But I suspect ultimately I wouldn't enjoy it as much as the sewing I do for myself.&nbsp; <br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/easter-jeans#post-896419 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:32:25 +0000 pil 896419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love this firecracker, the shirt, the colors, everything! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/easter-jeans#post-896356 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:25:17 +0000 Anonymous 896356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow! I love this outfit. I'm always drawn to your posts as I love to see what youve made and the&nbsp;graphic tee hasn't disappointed. I am seriously thinking of ceasing work for a while to get back to making my clothes. I've often been taken by the Fidji range of shoes but I haven't found too many comnpanies in Europe that stock the range and your shoes are fab; and you look fab https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/easter-jeans#post-896301 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 17:41:07 +0000 Anonymous 896301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love this and want to steal those Fidgi Mary Janes. &nbsp;Are they recent? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/easter-jeans#post-896197 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:46:27 +0000 Angie 896197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So fun!

Now it seems so obvious, but I had never thought to do it before. Your combination works beautifully together, and your tee is amazing!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/easter-jeans#post-895797 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:28:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 895797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, all! <br />For those interested in the t-shirt: <br />I used this pattern, designed by Katherine Tilton for Vogue: <br /><a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8817-products-22899.php?page_id=4449&amp;search_control=display&amp;list=search" rel="nofollow">http://voguepatterns.mccall.co.....38;list=se</a> (I made view A)<br />ETA: I added the little bit of mesh layer on the front neckline, as the scoop neck was too low for me otherwise.<br /><br />The fabric is from Marcy Tilton:<br /><a href="http://www.marcytilton.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.marcytilton.com/</a> <br />I used one of her combos from a while back--a trio of fabrics she bundled together because they coordinated so nicely. <br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/easter-jeans#post-895250 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:24:43 +0000 Sheila 895250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it, you have taught us all a lesson!

I think the jeans are a perfect fit and the subtle colours of the tshirt and sweater work so well. Very skilled work on the tshirt.
