hahaha OOPS, I've changed my mind?
Dec. 2nd, 2020 07:05 pmThis is what happens when I'm teaching virtually and too many of my kids are working on independent assignments and I have time available to poke around the internet and decide to change my sewing plans for our Longwood winter stroll that probably won't happen anyway.
Funny part is, Miss Wacky Mismatched Separates has been on my 1898-1901 Pinterest board for months, but she didn't really catch my attention until today. (I was looking at hat shapes and colors, actually.) Like...okay, we've got a red jacket with a black and white striped facing and collar, also with randomly slashed (??) bits on the top of the shoulder; we've got a green skirt with loopy squiggly trim that doesn't really echo the geometric angles of the jacket facing; we've got a red hat (coordinating!) with a pinky-red monster bow thing (less coordinating!); finally, we've got what's either a dickey/cravat/guimpe/neckline filler, or full waist, that's *squints* orange?
Whaaaaat.
The only real down side of this outfit is that I'm not sure I can really reconcile a collared fur capelet to go OVER that, and I was rather looking forward to one! Might have to play Stack The Collars...
Poor plum wool. I'll use you eventually.
I have the red wool for the jacket and orange-red silk shantung for the guimpe/waist/thing, and I'm 90% sure the silk scrap bin has bits in the right colors for the hat. I might have supplies for the jacket facing and green wool for the skirt (although what I have is quite KELLY green and I'm still hording that for a Very Specific Dress, not sure if I want to sacrifice it for this skirt), will have to do some poking.
I should probably feel bad after getting my plans for the plum dress all settled and buying a couple of things for it, but...I don't! As time passes I'm less and less optimistic we'll actually get to go on this outing, and while the plum dress was okay, it didn't inspire me to start it for an event I think is going to be canceled. This wacky number totally does!
Also...you know I can't resist a snappy jacket. ;)
