Second Clothing Project Completed!

 And here is the second project - a summery royal blue, yellow and white top.  I plan to wear this top with white capris or MAYBE make the white denim skirt that is all cut out and waiting (lurking) up in my craft room, but we shall see.
 I really like the way this looks, simple and pretty and I MIGHT make another one but definitely Simplicity or McCalls.  This was easy to make in comparison to the dress and I also love this fabric.  At work, when the A/C is high, I have a royal blue short sleeved cardi and a bright yellow sht sleeved cardi to put on with it.  So swish right?

And below are the two new purses I got.  Generally I think purses are a nuisance and a necessary evil but I take the workhorse one to work - it contains the essentials, entire makeup counter, provisions for whatever catastrophe might occur, water, camera, phone and several small animals. (Just kidding)  So when I went to Sears on the "find a belt" expedition I idly glanced over at the purses on offer.  Well, I was NOT paying $35 for each bag!! In fact I was quite affronted at their nerve.  Went to Walmart and got both of these delicious purses for a total of $35.  I call this a very successful cheap and cheerful shopping trip.
