Fourteen Days of Valentines Day Eleven.

Today I made something for myself. And sort of for Brian but mostly for myself. I am constantly amazed at how good I feel when I'm wearing pretty underthings. So I decided to make this pair of bloomers from Colette. It's a free pattern and really easy so if your a beginner you could totally do this!

Since I have about as much chance of going to Europe as I have of taking a trip in the TARDIS I used this fancy cotton with some kind of french or german writing on it (maybe both?). I like the old vintage look it has and the color is pretty unique.


I entertained the idea of modeling them for you for about two seconds (if your curious to see how it looks on a really skinny girl click here). I really try to be confident in the body I have now (even if I hope it's somewhat firmer in the future) but there is a limit to what I will post online. So instead I put on my most vintage looking dress and did a bunch of "pinup" poses. 

This is how a vintage girl curls her hair.


Since it's been so mild and nice here I was totally going to wear this dress for Brian and my nice Valentines dinner (with a hot pink sweater)... Then we had a snowstorm last night. Sigh. I will be wearing something that can go with tights and boots instead (I will be wearing the bloomers though).
