Weekend Plans

In the numerous hours I spent in bed recovering from my damned wisdom teeth, I had lots of time to think about new projects. Certainly, planning the move to our new apartment in two weeks, and writing another paper for class is not enough excitement.

My good friend, Sharon, is getting married next weekend and I was looking through my closet to figure out what to wear. The dresses that I worked on back in April and May were a little too summery -- and I already wore the green one to two different events. So, I set out to make a dress last night and managed to finish it up before dinner this afternoon. Of course, it's the same pattern that I've used before, but with an altered neckline. I couldn't help myself, it fits so well! I had to rip out the zipper twice, but it was totally worth the end result! The only part that needs work is the belt (right now the yellow buckle is just tacked to the waist) and I need to put in the hem. I also need to find a black cardigan, since it is supposed to be a little cool down in Los Angeles in the evening.

Jesse said that when paired with my silvery heels from Halloween, I looked very much like I could be on the set of Mad Men. I'll take that as a compliment.
