White Pants You’ll Want to Grab!

I have searched, and bought and returned and stalked influencers to find the perfectpair of white pants. I did not want skinny white jeans as I have those already, but I wanted a wide leg and high waist. Finally, I settled on these, Wild Fable brand, from Target and I absolutely love them. They can be styled with tanks, blouses, tees, and even cute chunky sweaters in the fall. The hole placement can be a little odd for some, but for me it was fine. I actually purchased 2 pair. I cut about 2.5 inches off of one pair to give them more of a cropped look and left the others their regular length. For reference I’m 5’3.

Janome Skyline S9 Embroidered Clutch

When I was 16, and told my mom I wanted to sew, she pulled her sewing machine out from its deep dark hiding place and put it in my room. That machine was gifted to her by my Grandma, and even with the best intentions, it was left unused for years. When it was my turn to give it a go, it didn’t have a manual and I blindly learned to use this little machine. I sewed on it for 9 years before deciding I needed to upgrade to a machine that could handle more. When researching new machines, the only requirement I had was that it be a Janome. I had sewn on Singer and Brother but never felt as comfortable as when I sit behind my Janome.Last year, my boyfriend bought me my current machine, HD 3000 after quite a bit of research. And this past spring, my mom bought me my first serger, a Janome of course. To say Janome is my favorite machine brand is an understatement, and maybe I’m a little biased, but what I’ve gotten from this company, in terms of a reliable piece of equipment, is just incredible.A few months ago, I was contacted by Janome to test and review one of their new embroidery machines. To be asked to review was just crazy. Here I am, a little sewing blogger- a girl with a Janome in her apartment making bags and garments and I’m fan-girling over the fact that the company even noticed me. This sounded like an amazing opportunity and I had to say yes. So I give to you, my completely honest review of the new Janome Skyline S9.The ReviewWhen the Skyline S9 arrived, I was overwhelmed. This machine comes with everything you can possibly need to successfully embroider right away (Just add fabric and thread!). I know some machines require you to buy extra hoops or feet, but it’s all in the box! The instruction book is beautiful and it hasn’t left my side since getting the machine. The S9 is also a very solid machine. It has quite a bit of weight but that’s what you want, not some flimsy machine that feels like it’s going to break down.

Everyone has gone to their wardrobes at least one time in their lives, only to find lots of clothes but nothing to wear. Ever wonder why does this happens? Besides not having a personal style (or perhaps you do), you haven’t build a functional wardrobe. Maybe you’ve been purchasing garments that you love, but haven’t planned it well. Just like with makeup, you need a foundation to achieve a neat beautiful look. In fashion, this would be the basics of your wardrobe. However, your basics won’t be the same as other people’s basics. Think of foundation in makeup, everyone has their own unique preferences & you will choose the one with your skin color. It’s the same with wardrobe basics.Owning a personal style is like the skin tone & the fit of these is like the texture of your foundation (dewy, matte, etc.). If you don’t know what your personal style is, I suggest you read our post, it will help you create a unique style that represents you.Once you have them, you can play around styling items like textured tops, printed skirts, statement jackets, things you own, and love.

Well, having the option of color contrast always helps, as it adds more options to your wardrobe.
