Somewhere in Northwest Iowa...either Clay or Palo Alto County...this house sits as a symbol of the simplicity its farming owners embraced.

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.

This photo displayed the largest amount of simplicity out of the ones that I took. I really like there is golden light on the spire that contrasts with the shadows on the opposing side of it, none of my other photos were able to show the contrasting light as well as this one. In light room I slid the shadow slider left, Significantly raised the temperature, increased vibrance and decreased saturation, and slid de-haze to the right. I was trying to create a warm happy mood.
Sometimes just some vertical plastic boards under a bridge is all you need. Love this shot! From Kelsey & Eddie's E-Session here: blog.christopherfphotography.com/2014/10/kelsey-eddie-eng...
Simplicity 2892 with Horner voile. This is the third thing I've made this month for me, so I'm very proud of myself. This will be my shirt for the 4th of July since I think it looks like fireworks. :)
This skirt started off as a McCall's 5430 wrap skirt but the waist band looked awful (due to beginner sewer error I'm sure!) . I salvaged the bottom half of that skirt to make this skirt. I tried putting in an invisible zipper but after many failed tries to get that right, I decided to just go with an elastic waist. This pattern was easy (other than the zipper part- again, due to beginner error). I like the dark denim I used but I think the skirt looks too plain as is. I'm still trying to figure out how to add some interest or embellishment.
Canonet 28. Simplicity and style.
I always ask about a camera's history. The only thing the seller could tell me, was that it belonged to a journalist.
There was still film inside, so I'll develop that, but it needs a PX625 1,35V for proper metering. Now it shoots at 1/30s.

My house is called "Simplicity Cottage," and it's located in the middle of some peaceful woods. I've really been working towards having less physical stuff in my life, so I only used the contents in my wallet that made me feel at peace. This included a Westchester Parks ID card, the college ID where I met my husband, the library card where I read with my daughter, and some floral stamps. What's more telling is what didn't make it: money, my business cards, credit cards, insurance cards, MTA cards - all the elements of my life that keep me moving somewhat faster than I'd probably like to be.
First pic is cottage, second shows all the other stuff...

Simplicity. Just a girl standing next to a small pine. Somewhere in the harsh wilderness of Iceland.
I sort of like that blue plaid one. I think I saw it once on a "Bonanza" rerun.
My mother's wedding dress was made from a pattern similar to this, but hers had full lace sleeves instead of fitted ones.

I’m feeling a little drained this week so I opted for a simple portrait for this weekly project. And I keep having to remind myself that is okay. The purpose of this project is to exist in photos. They don’t always have to be extravagant and skillfully edited. Sometimes they can be simple. Stay tuned to see what’s in store for next week.
