For the Simplicity 1880 2-in-1 Sewalong

I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.
MM Theme: Simplicity.
Trying to capture falling feathers - not very simple! The quote is apt.
Note to self: Think of something more simple next time!

Sorry to the folks that are sick of seeing my mug!! I am the cheapest model I can find.. and the most obedient..
Ironically, I'm finding it far from simple to explain this picture. In short, I find it fascinating that the simple sound "om" or "aum" (which is the symbol in this picture) has such a complex meaning; not only in general, but also for me personally. To me this photo illustrates that juxtaposition of complexity and simplicity in a way which I can't figure out how to explain properly
(Before anyone comments on this, I am aware that the symbol is missing a dot. I somehow forgot it when I was drawing it and didn't realize it was missing until the photo had already been edited)

This image is for Kim Klassen's Be Still 52 Week 4. Kim introduced us to the concept of wabi sabi, which I'd never heard of before. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. I chose to photograph these orchid blooms for a touch of the oriental influence in a soft simplistic manner to express one of the characteristics of wabi sabi. I have a new-found and great appreciation for wabi sabi.
Flew down to Florida last weekend to kick it with the homies and attend WinterJam in Daytona Beach. Friday morning Jonathan Dehate and I met up with Ramon, the owner of this absolutely ridiculous Honda S2000. Dehate and I couldn't have lucked out more, with the partially overcast skies providing the perfect diffusion to shoot this black beauty with natural light only!
Slammed via Apexi coils on BBS RS's, this import coupe brings the word 'stance' to a whole new level. "Wheels are wide as fuck, lips are big as shit," says owner, Ramon Collazo, when asked the specs on the wheels. When thieves managed to leave the S2000 without seats, a softtop, or steering wheel a few months ago, Ramon jumped on the opportunity, turning it around in the best way possible. Newly fitted are some Status fixed-back buickets, an OEM hardtop, and Js Racing rear diffuser.
This is a perfect example of simplicity. Well done Ramon, keep it coming man!

It was clear out this afternoon so I decided to take a quick photowalk around the neighbourhood. This was one of the more interesting shots, I guess...

This is the first Simplicity 2591 dress I made (I made another which will probably appear later in the month). I made it with Michael Miller Marcia fabric, and it is View D of the pattern.
It was rainy and cold today, so I'm wearing the dress with brown tights, an old brown cardigan from Debenhams (with pretty multicoloured buttons!), a bright pink flower necklace, my Nica handbag and my hot pink cowboy boots from America! You can't see too clearly in the picture, but the centres of the flowers are hot pink, which is why I chose to accessorise with pink.
I originally blogged about this dress here: threadcarefully.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/tabathas-april-c...
