A finished project that isn’t pink or white, who’d have thought?Β My mum and I have been determined to use up some of the yarn lying around, hence the number of cropped tops and camis.Β Dainty straps a la 1990s are one of my favourite ss14 trends – easy way of having (almost) bare shoulders without the hassle of strapless tops, really.Β Strapless is too much like hard work. πΒ This pattern (from ‘Romantic Style’ by Jennie Atkinson)Β has separately knit bust cups, so fits perfectly without hanging like a tent like other camis I’ve tried on.Β Can’t make a 2D object hang right on a 3D person y’know!
My mum and I had fancied shooting under the pier for a while and finally gave it a shot last night, providing much entertainment for the lads up on the pier that’s for sure.Β Made us laugh too tbh. π
White pants because it’s summer and everyone has to have white pants for summer.Β I remember as a kid getting that one pair of white ‘going out’ trousers that I’d grow out of every year (if I didn’t stain them with tomato sauce before then), but I’d like to think this jogger-style pair are an update on the wide legs I wore 10 years ago.Β Was a sight to see, I tell you. πΒ These ones are from Primark and are ridiculously comfy, and plenty long enough for my 5’11 frame which is a bonus!
Top : Handknit – pattern is ‘Cotton Camisole’ from Romantic Style by Jennie Atkinson – modified the straps to be thinner
Trousers and shoes :Primark
Necklace : Pandora
You may have noticed the mini makeover JoliHouse has had this weekend… still very much a work in progress but I prefer the new look for now.Β I’m thinking a few more splashes of colour wouldn’t go amiss and I’ll definitely play around with the pages.Β from what I’ve done so far I definitely don’t envy a graphic designer’s job!Β Computers can be so annoying sometimes, grrr.Β Let me know what you think!
