That sounds great. Unfortunately I'm the only veggie lover in our house so I would have a hard time keeping up with it. It's a great idea though. I wish I could do it.

Some followup on my experiment to move 30% of my wardrobe to the guest room closet. I highly recommend this approach for anyone like me who has too many things in their closet. It's really forcing me to be more creative with my outfits and to start wearing my better pieces rather than saving them. Reducing the volume has certainly made a bigger impact on my day to day outfits than any addition has ever made. Now to keep it from growing unwieldy again....
I always feel that way on trips. Creative within the limitations. And I waste much less time in the morning!
 
Look at what I just finished making...8FAA76B3-EE05-4777-9081-7D2C60DA8F52.jpg

I was thinking of adding pearls to the trim like this...but am not sure if it will be too much or too heavy and distort how it falls.

What do you guys think?

Edit: it's my first fitted piece. I've only ever made shawls and blankets before so I'm quite pleased that it fit well after blocking.

Thank you Mindi and small fry. Nice to hear from you smallfry. Hope you are well.

I'm not much of a stacker so it's prestacked for me. I would rather wear one substantial piece. So this is it. I plan to wear it for any occasion for sure.

My other package that was delivered today. As per prepsters styling instructions

Very French and breezy chic!

Edit: Reading backward as usual, and just saw your post about your "exciting" tailoring "adventure." Whatever happened? Should I go somewhere to read about the outcome?

Wow!?! You made that?!? Amazing. I really like the pearls if the weight doesn't cause an issue.

Congrats on a super job! I really like the pearls on it too. I have not made a sweater in eons. I am on a pearling kick however. I bought pearls at Michaels and have put them on a hat and on shoes! Craft projects can be fun!hat.JPG
