I am super P S Y C H E D about this tulle dress I made this weekend when I should’ve been studying for my first librarian exam (shh… it went well regardless of the needlessly complicated and elitist language used in the course for some simple cataloguing!). It was so easy to make so I drew some instructions. As a side note: you could make this dress in any fabric (though I’d recommend a heavier fabric or tulle like mine because some jersey would fall flat and the silhouette wouldn’t be as wide, but if you prefer that you should go fot it!) And another side note: tulle is like super cheap, I think I bought bought of these fabrics for three euro a meter! You could also look for bed spreads, I made this skirt out of a cool bedspread for instance.

Anyway, on to crafting!

Usually I’m too oblivious to notice; I am blessed. Still, I am not outside of this world and I hate this belgian staring game because belgians are too afraid of confrontation (we would excuse ourselves for breathing) so in our catholic anxiety we stare everyone down in the hope of making others feel smaller than you yourself and mostly I laugh in their faces as if I was given a compliment but this drags me down just as much as cat-calling does. It makes me so madsad and sadmad because why would we even go outside anymore, why would you?

sweater: gift, socks: happy socks, skirt: second hand, dotted shirt: second hand, shoes: swedish hasbeens

I have a soppy story to tell on why this is my favorite sweater, not only because of the adorable sheep, but for melodramatic reasons as well! But that story now only belongs to me and the friend who gave it to me ヽ( ⌒o⌒)人(⌒-⌒ )v
