So it's been a bit of a turbulent time for me as many changes are about to happen. I just found out yesterday that I'm being offered an officer's commission in the United States Air Force! I started the application process two years ago, and I am elated to begin this next chapter in my life. I don't have timelines or details quite yet as to how quickly I will go to training or any of that, but it will undoubtedly change many things in life!
As some of you may have seen on Instagram, Jacob and I went to a military ball last week! As you may also have seen in Instagram... I posted about it on the blog Jacob and I co-author, Lead With the Left.
I'm finally posting about my dress I made for the Easter Spring Dress 2017 challenge! I learned about it on Akram's Ideas, and I decided to do something different and share a video about it with you guys. I'm not going to become a youtuber any time soon, but videos are definitely fun to make every once in a while! Since a lot of info is in the video, I've posted just a few pics to give you a view of my Easter look this year. If you have any other questions about the project, just comment below and I'll be glad to answer!
I was very privileged to have won a local "Best Dressed" award in our local 417 Magazine. As perks of being one of seven chosen, I was featured in the April issue of the magazine, and a full interview was included on the website. Such an honor, and I was proud to represent vintage fashion! (Picture credit)
I've been slowly revamping my wardrobe, and my goal the last few months was to make items largely out of my stash fabrics. I don't have a HUGE stash, but it's definitely been motivating to use what I've got and go easy on the sewing budget in the meantime. It's also been good to get me out of my comfort zone. I have some fabrics, like the one I used for this dress, that aren't colors I typically wear or to which I am usually attracted.
