I honestly cannot make up my mind. I want to make the blouse in the 06/2008 BWOF, with the short sleeves and the side gathers, and I love love love this fabric, the retro feel and the great way it would pair with both jeans and skirts. This fabric would be perfect with just about any short sleeve blouse, actually.
But I am not sure it is the right fabric for my style - which attempts to be more sophisticated with a touch of bohemian than polished retro/vintage. I've tried that look, but it takes alot of work to carry it off - the right shoes, hours spent on hair, etc. My dressing style makes the fact that I only occasionally use a blow dryer seem fine.
It's a little too expensive to buy this fabric without having a plan - and my stash needs to shrink down, not keep growing!
If anyone reads this - what are your thoughts?
