Fall 2011 Collection

This isn't so much a collection as it is, "random shit I did during Fall 2011", which is unfortunately, quite minimal. In my defense, I am nearing the completion of my Asian Studies degree, and am rigorously preparing for proficiency exams in both Japanese and Chinese, so needless to say, I haven't had much time for sewing. 

This fall, I took the traditional qi pao pattern and used it to produces variations of tight-fitting 1960s style dresses, with bold silks.

The only exceptions being the last two pieces, an oversized hooded poncho, and a sheer gown.

Silver sweater x Leopard

I wore this amazing sweater to a bar the other night, but the lighting was so bad I couldn't get any good photographs of it.


I paired it up with a little silver bag...


And because it was so damn cold, I had to bring out the leopard...


...Whether it matches or not...


Probably the best picture of be ever taken.


Sweater: thirfted via Goodwill
