Simplicity A2120 - DONE, No Excitement at all

I finished Simplicity A2120, its an IT'S SO EASY pattern, that would take a seasoned sewer probably, 10 min from cut to hem.  And actually it didn't take me an hour, I just decided to start the process at 10 p.m., and after cutting out and stay stitching decided to wait until the next day to finish up, which took me all about 30 min from start to hem. 

 

My photography is not the best, but I am working on it.  

I am pleased with it overall, its really simple.  Nothing spectacular at all.  I am on this Mustard/Rust color rant right now.  I love fall and brown, beige, mustard, maroon and reds are swirling in my head. 

As I mentioned before I suffer from Blackness (not because I a Black) but because when I look in my closet that is all I see.

I literally own 6 pair of dress black pants.  Yes, six pair.  Who needs six pair.  And I promise you they are all different.  Now I do own 3 additional pair of black paints with stripes, gray and white.  So that is a total of NINE (9), yes 9 pair of black pants. 

I won't bore you with the number of black shorts, tops and shoes. 

Inspiration

It's been a awhile since I've blogged. worklife, homelife and just plain life has taken me into a headspin.  I have also started working out and trying to make this healthy life transition once again.  So with all that going on I got a little behind the curve ball.  Hopefully I can get back to speed. 

I needed a little sewing inspiration so while blog hopping I am across this beautiful vintage dress on Karlas Closet. 

Not only does this dress give me sewing inspiration, but Karla gives me workout inspiration as well.

As I mentioned earlier, I am not big on dresses.  I love them, but after about 20lbs of weight gain, I decided that pants, especially black pants would become my new best friend.  My closet looks like a funeral thrift store.  I have every variation of black imaginable:  Polka Dots, Stripes, Art Deco, etc. 

I have decided to reintroduce color into my life, slowly but surely.  Here is a pattern I have my eye on.  I think I could pull this off with some cute sandals or a boots.
