Cleaning out my Closet


Now that I'm a full time 'surfer mom', I hardly have the time or energy to get dolled up in my cute vintage dresses!

Therefore, cleaning out my closet, I filled four XL bins full of fabulous vintage dresses, coats, etc. Although I cannot part with a few extraordinary pieces, the rest I plan to list on either my website or ebay... I'll keep you posted!

The Latest!

While organizing fabrics, I found some bustiers that I'm finishing and attaching skirts to. One's the top half of a vintage swimsuit, the other is the top portion of a dress that made tons of (and ran out of fabric).
Should be cute! Goal is to list on website by next week!

Today's Creative Outlet

I have succeeded today in filling my inner desire to be creative, while taking care of the home, through gardening. Never before have I really had an interest, but I really got into it and found that it is sort of an art form, and a way of expressing yourself!
Sophie desperately needed to get out of the house, so on my hip we went to the local nursery with a a $50 budget. I chose my little friends primarily based on beauty and balance combining grey and purple leafy plants, succulents, and ornamental grass. Very English garden combined with a touch of Spanish? Who knows, but I love it, and will probably be the only one to appreciate it's beauty! (Cross my fingers that the $70 I ended up spending doesn't die over night!)
Am I on a roll toward sewing again?? I hope so! I need to make a dress for Sophie to get her first JCPenney pictures taken in...... Although tomorrow is a total beach day and the waves are getting good!

Inspirations

Life in San Clemente is like living on vacation. I live in my flip flops and baseball cap, and that's okay here! My style has become so casual that I can't help but being inspired to create comfy yet cute and original clothes that have mad style.

Here are some examples at http://www.sophiepearl.com/....
