I'll be real. The only reason I took these photos was to determine if I liked the length of the dress, which I am currently in the process of making. At first when I tried it on, I thought no, I might as well start over, this is so not what I was going for - I look like I just walked out of Little House on the Prairie. 

I've since concluded that theres nothing wrong if you spend your Thursday -or any day for that matter- pretending your the modern Laura Ingalls Wilder. Sheer plaid whether it was inspired by Dries Van Noten, or LHONP will be staying on my mind from now until fall and if we're lucky maybe even into next spring. In addition, I shouldn't fear the midi-length, rather embrace it as it doesn't dwarf me completely. 

It was really bright okay.

 I'm wearing a sheer plaid dress (which I designed), an Opening Ceremony hat, Rag & Bone sandals, and vintage jewelry and camera. 

Brown Bag Lunches

  I typically found an organic buckwheat peanut butter sandwich sans crust, with a triple washed organic apple and a small note "xoxo love mommy." Reminiscent of any childhood experience whether it was leaving it on the bus, or being embarrassed that it wasn't filled with the latest Lunchables. (looking back on it thanks Mom for not allowing me to eat those)

But now that Jil Sander and Celine are coming out with luxury brown bags, from coated paper to leather, I can only picture Suri Cruise and Blue Ivy opening up there lunch bags conjuring jealousy among all their peers.

Last year I made the "Brown Bag" for the SCAD Accessories Design Challenge, I wanted to include touches like the juice and raisin box pockets, and note from mom simply evoke memories from one's childhood experience, and it's just kind of fun because who doesn't like a fun lining and unexpected quirky touches?
