What to wear for Valentines?

I have put together a set with some ideas on what you can wear for Valentines.

What to wear for Valentines by Bramblewood Fashion featuring BKE jeans

You can take the basic ideas from this set, example: wear pink & red together and add some touches of black for your accent color. Or wear some black, if it looks good on you, and add accents of pink or red.  Wear florals, large or small, hearts, or what ever strikes your fancy as being perfect for Valentines Day. 

I have my outfit all picked out for Valentines, which if you didn't know is this Sunday. What is my outfit you ask? :D Well, I made it myself out of a vintage 1964 dress pattern. It has a lovely dropped waist, and the fabric has small circles that are in two shades of pink. Very lovely! Of course, I'll post pictures when I'm done. ;-)

What are you going to wear for Valentines?  Do tell me. 

 

WIFD - Day 7

Hello ladies! It is the last day of WIFD and I'm sad to see it end, but it was fun! :) Today I wore my Old Hollywood inspired jeans. You can read on how I made them here.

Today I wore one of my favorite outfits while I baked bread and sewed today.

Kilt - given to me

Blouse - IZOD

White T-shirt - Kohl's 

Stripe Tights - Kohl's

Layered Necklace - Bass Shoe Outlet

I also have a class this evening at Church. When I go out I'll wear the following:

Navy Blue Wool Coat - Target

WIFD - Day 4

Here it is day 4 of WIFD. And I put together a new combination for today's outfit. As I usually don't wear this combination together. I'm not sure that I would wear the blouse again with this skirt. As the blouse is kinda like a tunic and looks best with my jeans. Maybe a pencil skirt would work better?

Purple knit shrug - Made by me

White blouse/tunic - Vera Wang collection at Kohls

Jean wrap skirt - Made by me

Purple knee-high socks - Target

Black fashion boots - Bass Shoe Outlet

 

 The shrug is a recent project as I just finished sewing it. I really like how it turned out and it was simple to sew using our serger. If you are wondering I used Simplicity #2560. I would highly recommend this pattern to anyone, as a beginner could easily sew this.  

What kind of shoes go with skirts in the Winter?

In a recent comment I was asked the following:

Hi Ashley! I was just wondering... what kind of shoes do you wear with your skirts? It seems like I have a hard time finding shoes that 'pair' right with skirts (especially in the winter). Is there some miracle footwear out there that can keep your feet warm and still not ruin the delicate effect of the skirt? - Anna

Anna, has brought up an excellent question, as it is one that I used to struggle with. And I'm sure that there are others who struggle with the same problem. This post is for them, or for those who are just looking for ideas. =) 

Finding shoes that look good with skirts can be had sometimes. When shopping for shoes you have to find a pair that matches the style of the skirt, and you have to consider the length of the skirt too. Let me show you some examples of what shoes Gabrielle and I wear with our skirts.

                              Cowgirl Boots (Children's Place)    Flats w/bow (MUDD Shoes)

Flats (Payless) T-Strap Heels (Naturalizers)

Fashion Boots (Bass Shoe Outfit)

I have put together a set on Polyvore of some shoes that would look great with skirts. Several of them either I or Gabrielle own and wear with our skirts.

Shoes you can wear in the Winter by Bramblewood Fashion on Polyvore.com

These shoes are from Target and Payless - two great places to look for shoes.  I personally like to wear boots and wedges best in the winter. Boots are the warmest to wear in the winter as they help keep your legs warm. Plus boots look really cute with skirts. Just shop around trying on different styles of shoes, while wearing a skirt, to find one you like and feels warm to YOU. 

I hope you all find this post helpful. 

WIFD - Day 3

First you may be wondering what WIFD stands for. Well it means Week in Feminine Dress, its were you dress feminine for a whole week and post pictures what you wore to encourage others. So there will be no "What I'm Wearing" post this week. If you want, you can learn more about WIFD on the Ladies Against Feminism website.

What I'm Wearing- Gabrielle Renee

Hello my dear readers! I hope you are having as enjoyable a week as I. :) I am sorry to say that I haven't had time to do the sewing I have planed yet this week- I hope to do it later today. ;) I am also excited to tell you that I have something special planed, and, Lord willing, hope to reveal it later this week. :) But that is another post... :P

So, yesterday I really and truly did mean to post a "what I'm wearing" post. Truly, I did! I even had the pictures all ready. However, I didn't get around to post them... But, I am still going to post the pictures, today! :D

Here is what I wore:
