Happy New Year!

This will be the year when old is good again.

And by that, I mean like this:

I wish I could say that I made this little beauty, but it’s a gem that I found on Etsy in my latest round of research.

My research for ~ a challenge of the utmost kind ~ that is.

Beginning today, January 1, 2010, I will be abstaining from buying any new item for my personal wardrobe.  I will be making my own clothes or buying them from secondhand shops, scoring bits from free piles, and concentrating on creating a look that works for a stay-at-home-mama/ fiber artist/writer with ease.  (Edit:  except for tights.  And sunglasses.  So there.)

First stop:  house dresses.  Just like my gram used to wear.  The patterns are queued up and ready for their mish mash of alterations, the practice fabrics are washed and pressed.  And there will be a dress just like the one you see up there.  Yessiree.

Are you ready to join me on a journey into the good old days?
