Pink Candy Top

Sometimes I get fabric on sale. Actually a lot of times. And I think the fact that it’s on sale makes me a little color blind. That is, of course, how I end up with some of the clothes I’ve made. For example: the bright green ick tank top, this bright green skirt, and that orange smock for Isabelle. They aren’t necessarily colors I would normally pick. But I guess that’s not such a bad thing…sometimes.

And that’s how I come to have this pink candy top in linen. (It’s pattern 2 again from ISBN 9784579110438. I just added a band at the bottom.) Well the color isn’t really called pink candy. That’s what it reminds me of. I think the color is actually coral. I wouldn’t regularly choose this color. But it was on sale… :)

And it makes me look HOT! And not in the “I’m so fine, I blow your mind” way. More like hot as in hot to the touch. I think the blinding brightness of the top is reflected in my face. Ha ha ha! :-D I’m just joking…a little. I do think it is a tad bright. Just a bit.

And now I leave you with a picture that includes Isabelle.
Doesn't Isabelle's pose look familiar?
Doesn’t her pose look familiar?

    That looks great. I wouldn’t change it a bit.
    I also love fabric sales and more often then not buy stuff I won’t touch for months because I am not sure what to make with it, or my ideas change (as they often do)

    I think it’s a lovely color! Very summery and cheerful. :-)

    It’s like Isabell just said “ta daaaaaa!”
    Cute!
    (and the shirt is cute too–color is just right)

    I like coral!

    A request: Can I see a closeup of your necklace? It looks very similar to a fused and carved glass piece a dear friend gave me last summer.

    It’s a nice color. I think it looks like a watermelon color. Very summery. So is it really easy to make? I got the same book from Kinokuniya at Japantown but haven’t attempted anything yet.

    I like it! A lot! The color is lovely, very flattering. And the style shows off your hotness. :) I’m catching up after being out of town — love the “I love” drawings. And yay for being big enough to ride alone!

    From the pictures, the color complements your skin tone! And I love the cut and the style. So feminine but not too girly. :)
