that I'm currently writing this blog post, doing laundry and putting off unloading the dishwasher in this little get up.......
I discovered it on Pinterest ........ it's from a seller on Etsy called TutusChic. This is what I love about Pinterest. I discover all sorts of hidden gems that I might never have found. Because of course, I have that much time on my hands. Nevertheless, I like to think I'm doing major reseach for inspiration.
So anyhow, I have been pretending that this floaty pink jacket is what I've been wearing all week long while tending to mundane chores and messy children. Since it's currently out of my price range I decided to whip one up that is strikingly similar......
Although not in the same colorway, fabric nor clothing style, I still think I nailed it......
Ok...it's nothing like like it. I admit that. But it did inspire me to finally take 2 minutes out of my life to finally tape this little Webster's rosette ribbon on this tank top. It's been on my to do list for the last 6 months. Ever since I saw this dark gray color, I wanted to put it on a tank. I completed it 5 minutes ago. Amazing what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it.
With that being said, I'm saving my pennies for the pink one. I think it could change my life.....or at least make a difference in how I approach cleaning my kitchen......
Talk to you soon! karin
I am drooling!! That pink jacket is beautiful. I love how you put together the cute tank top. Those rosettes make it look heavenly. You are so creative. XO

I think you'd look fabulous in that pink jacket and Cosme should run right out to the laptop and get it for you!
Anyway, your tank is adorable too and now I want one. Please send me one.. or at least some trim.. :) Miss you girlie.

Yes, but that hot mama gray tank probably fits your lifestyle so much better and I happen to think it's adorable. Great job, LOVE it!

I came across this through my Etsy stats! Thank you so much for featuring my blossom jacket. I LOVE what you did with the grey roses. In fact, I just used them my self on some little Flower Girl leotards for an ivory and grey wedding!
A really creative way to shabby chic your tank :)
Best,
Sarah
