Meeting Clothes

Today I spent the whole day sitting in a council meeting listening to reports and voting on budgets. Since I didn't have to go to the office, I got to wear jeans and Docs - this time the 8-hole ones.

No leaves on our trees yet.

It's very hard to see, but the scarf is the one I made myself. The same one from the Scarf Ace post.  Here is a close-up:

It has yellow, white, black and grey circles and has a silky charmeuse-y feel to it.  Although I think it's just polyester.

The top I love for the interesting pattern and buttons:

When I got this, the armholes were uncomfortably small, so I had to alter it slightly.  I just sliced them up a tad, and tacked the extra bits in place: 

Outlined the extra bits in red.

It probably could've been done a little more professionally, but I didn't really know how and who's going to look under your arm anyway?

There were also too few buttons, so I added one of those sew-on snaps to the bottom, but it kept unsnapping and in the end, I had to just safety-pin it in place:

The snaps are circled and the arrow shows the safety pin.

So finally got to wear fewer layers as it's starting to warm up.  Spring is coming!
