chocolatepotFascinating tidbits from my life lately:
So I felt like wearing darker winter lipstick made my blush stand out too much, like there's pink clown makeup all over my face. I decided to try not wearing blush, thinking it would make me crazy pale. Nope, somehow my cheeks still look too pink. I can deal, though.
I have to wear a tank top and shorts to bed because I'm such a furnace that even if I'm cold when I go to bed, I'm very toasty a few hours later. But it's cold in the apartment, so I wear flannels before going to bed and after waking up. I don't know if I should keep on with this, ask for a flannel robe/fabric for Christmas, or buy some flannel and make one.
Trying to figure out my next sewing project, with a kind of fuzzy/nubbly wool with a rectangular check. Options:
- Butterick 5556. Pros: know how to make it fit, goes together really quickly (no sleeves to set in). Cons: just did it, not sure if flattering.
- Butterick 6018. Pros: again know how to make fit, can modify into charming V-neck, no waist seam to have to mess with. Cons: would have to find a different sleeve somewhere, still annoyed that last version came out badly.
- Butterick 5813. Pros: longer sleeves, still like the drawing, prior experience. Cons: Tricky to fit (where is horizontal seam supposed to be??), lower torso panels may be unflattering to short waists.
Leaning toward option one just for the speed issue - plus, the day I wore it I got several strong compliments.
