Little Details.... New Wardrobe pieces

Image
  Just got back from 3 Wonderful calm weeks at the Beach....Love the Beach I have been wanting to do this outfit.   If you were not there when I wore it at work... well It is Flourescent Coral!!!  I love colorful finds. You can see I made a pair of earrings to go with the pants color, the crop top color and the floral jacket color fabric. All fabrics, except for the jackets come from Gstreetfabrics , where I work.

The fabric print is one of my personal prints, made on Spoonflower.com.   No, it is not cheap, but I am many times unique.  Fold over to center on one side.... foldover to center on the other side... then fold in half so both folds are on the outside. This is a regular freeflowing jacket that I make, but the sleeve details changed.  I cut the sleeve elbow length and then cut two large squares of the same fab...
