Curtains dress

 So I call this dress " curtains dress" not because the print reminds me of curtains, but because it is literally made from curtains. Firs of all, you might ask why? Well, I have made some modifications to the sewing pattern, I transformed the plus size top pattern to dress pattern, and I didnt want to ruin my good fabric, if I made some mistake, so i needed some cheap fabric for experimenting with this new pattern. And I didnt actually made any huge mistake, except I should take in more fabric in dress sides, and Im already making the dress from my good, printed fabric. On the other side, I saw in Asos site similar dress, which looked super oversized, so I guess maybe I havent made any mistake at all.

I love that this curtain fabric is 100% cotton, and it was in really good shape, and ofcourse I washed it :D In total it cost me about 5 EUR. Now I will be more often looking for curtain fabrics, because I have seen some really pretty and unique fabrics there.

And most important -  its great for this warm weather which finally is here!

NEW!

Soo, this weekend I went for little shopping, nothing much, just the stuff I know I really really like, and will wear all the time.

I forgot to include in photos H&M black sliders - you probably know very well how they look. They are something everyone have, but I coulnt resist, because they were only 14.99 EUR and I really needed black summer shoes, and they look great with everything. Also from H&M is the black bag and wishbone necklace, and all these items was not in sale. I just walked through all the sale stuff and dint like anything, I just dont know what problem I have..Just Im very picky lately..

Little Mango bag I got in sale, and I really hoped that they still has these little bags, because I saw other blogger wearing this bag and I fell in love. They have these also in red and black.

I was very pleasantly suprised when I saw double pearl earrings in Parfois store, wanted them so bad. They also had some necklaces with big pearls, but I didnt like them as much as Zara double pearl necklace, which one ofcourse wasnt in Zara where I went, they had only the bracelet...

There are Sale in all stores, but I was very upset about Zara, because they have only like 10 EUR off all the items, and I dont feel thats its very much considering that H&M and other stores had up to 50% off.. For example if boots were 60 EUR that now they are 50 EUR, seriously, for seasons Sale, its just funny..I wanted some new shoes from Zara, but when I saw the " sale" prices, didnt buy anything. I remember that I saw in Instagram that black ankle strap shoes in Zara costs only 10 GBP in UK, and there in Latvia the same shoes where 30 EUR, I think its not cool, because why treat customers in one country like they are stupid and dont know what they doing in other country, not fair, to say at least.

Bejeweled

I have started to sew again - top and clutch are just few of things which will be soon available at my Etsy store.

I wish I could hire a seamstress, but no I have to sew all the stuff by myself, which Im not bad at, only Im soo lazy lately, its just insane...

Also wearing Just Female jeans, and Asos shoes - the ones that I was waiting for couple month to come back in stock in my size...

The perfect Print

 When I first saw this Monki floral suit on Asos I just had to have it - I dont know why, but there was available for purchase only the sweatshirt, I bought it and waited at least a week when the trouser was available, now the trousers are pretty much sold out.

Ohh, this is such a pretty print, and its 100% cotton, which Im always looking for.
