The pink Florentine is wearable and screamingly pink. I should add neckline trim, and I really should have sewed the inner sleeves in instead of safety-pinning them in (I’m going to worry about them popping out all tomorrow). BUT, I’m tired. I absolutely hate sewing late the night before an event! I really hardly ever do that, and I *never* absolutely NEVER sew on the day of an event or in the hotel or whatever. Not my style. It’s either done or it’s not.<\/p>\n
That said, in the past few years, I’ve gotten quite a few wild hairs to make a new outfit in a freakishly short time before an event. Wtf? There have been, um, three one-week jackets in less than three years now. That’s crazy. None were essential. Just “hey, how about a new outfit?” Bored with what I have in the closet.<\/p>\n
The pink Florentine was more of a “hurry and up and see if I can finish this thing that’s been languishing for months.” But still one week. Really don’t know why I pushed myself to do that — only day-tripping a principality event, after all! I’ll be there for a few hours. Ah, but the gown was so close to being done … famous last words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
