Outfit Day 8: Tuesday Dark Green

My boyfriend found my warm black vest and I found my long green sleeved t-shirt just in time for today's chilly day, for which I am thankful. This is a much more subdued color scheme than I usually choose, but it is nice to do something different once in a while.

Today on Pinterest I saw some ideas where you can cut off the sleeves of old sweaters and use the tubes for leg warmers or boot cuffs or spats with a bit of modification, so that is definitely something I want to try soon. I also want to knit some legwarmers soon.

Navy pants: Walmart
Green Long sleeved t-shirt: T-shirt shop in Victorville, CA

Three Layers

I have two DIY projects going on right now. I'm crocheting a multicolored sweater inspired by a retro crochet pattern book from the 80's.

And I'm also knitting a multicolored vest. Once I worked at Macy's and their dress code said always wear 3 or more layers to look more professional, like pants, skirt and jacket or skirt, blouse and vest. That stuck with me all these years and I thought I'd go back to doing that, especially in the colder months.

Yesterday I also bought new blank t-shirts. I'll decorate them in a way that means something to me and use them as part of my wardrobe. I'm thinking of using Solvie (dissolveable fabric) and use it to do some machine embroidery on some of the shirts. Here is a tutorial on Threadbanger.
