Jasika Nicole Instagram – Summer is for coordinating sets! I’ve had vintage repro simplicity 1426 in my stash for a long time and *finally* got inspired to make it. The top has lots of cute views and I could have made any of them work with these #gojishorts by @deer_and_doe_patterns , a very cute pattern I’ve made once before, but this combo is 🤌🏽. Goji has an elastic waist, lots of ease and it looks like a skirt at first glance (altho the pattern comes with a skirt version as well). I think these would be cute lengthened to pants, too- maybe I’ll try that one day. Fabric is a nice cotton I got at the last LA fabric swap and the shoes are by @melissashoes_id which are the perfect color for 50% of my wardrobe (curated color palette is really shining brightly for me lately) and are surprisingly light weight and got me through an entire week of vaycay in NYC with no real blisters (I preemptively bandaged up the pinky toes to be safe which was a good call). This was the only clothing I made expressly for my NYC trip and though it hung out on my friend’s couch for most of the day while we ate olives and bacon, a random lady on Bedford yelled out “You look ADORABLE!” on my way there and I honestly couldn’t ask for more than that cause let me tell you what Brooklynites are NOT trying to do- give you compliments just for the hell of it. Thank you, random lady, thank you to all my NYC friends who hung out with me and showed me so much big love (except for my one friend who stood me up, you know who you are lol) and thank you NY for continuing to be my very favorite city on the planet, garbage smells and all🙏🏽 | Posted on 28/Jul/2024 07:42:19
