pink potatoes!


i know this was a while ago but i thought i'd post it now seeing as I am hoping to get right back into blogging! fingers crossed anyway... so i finished high school in 2012, hurrah!!! I can actually say it was last year now, wow! Valedictory is like graduation and everyone gets dressed up all fancy and there are speeches and food and such like. Well me being me didn't want to wear the usually long dress in silky fabric so I went completely the opposite. I wanted a two piece outfit in bright colours on an organic unbleached fabric. this is the result!






I cut a triangle out of a potato and went crazy with neon pink kids paint (mixed with fabric medium) . It took forever but it was such fun. Also, my dog likes to help me sew...clearly and I like to sew outside.... I made a cropped top and a cute skirt, I felt like a little kid and when people around you are spending hundreds of dollars on a garment they may never wear again it was pretty cool to be comfortable and know i will get many a wear out of this baby! I teamed the outfit with a pair of gorgeous clear jellies and had a ball. I am so glad to be finished school, it is definitely time I got out of there though i do hope i will keep in contact (now and then) with some of the rad girls!




these are a few snaps from the night! much love xx
