I have to give myself a reality climate check every fall down here in the South. It’s something like - H E Y, I know everyone and their cousin is posting pixels filled with spiced lattes and covered toes but you live down where it’s still, not technically, but actually summer. The humidity is still here to slap you in the face upon the exit of any a/c-filled abode and building and, your deoderant, yeah, it’s still working overtime. You’d think I’d be used to it by now but no, no, no. I actually grew up in the midwest where fall really feels like fall and summer stays back in summer. But, I’m not complaining. Sure, I miss the snow but I don’t miss the months on top of months of it and it’s great to not have to dress the kids up with 75 layers and then their Halloween costumes every year…you know, so they can actually go out as a little butterfly without looking like a stuffed butterfly.
Anyway, the past couple of weeks have seen a little bit of chilly weather (chilly as in under 70) and so I jumped at the chance to finish a little project had started last fall…and by started I mean, I pulled out the fabric one day, threw up an Instastory about it and then never got around to moving it to my sewing machine. But, with Gianna and Sebastian doing their synchronized napping thing, I was able to whip this up in a half hour and get the regularly scheduled homeschooling in with the twins one day last week. #werkit
Without further chatter, let me introduce my new, faux fur, infinity scarf:
jacket: hand-me-down, altered // similar
button-down: Target via Dirt Cheap // similar
jeans: Old Navy (I heard great things about the Rockstar Built-In Sculpt jeans from ON last year and was so excited to try a pair but when I did, I was sadly disappointed. I felt like they smashed my rear end down and were really uncomfortable. Darn. When I returned them, I tried their Rockstar Super Skinnies instead and LOVE them!)
wedge booties: eBay // Amazon (I bought mine new off eBay three years ago and they are still going strong. They’re really comfortable too!)
Want to make a fur scarf of your very own? You know you do! And guess what? You could hand sew one in under an hour, maybe even in under a half hour.
