Project Run and Play has been so fun to be a part of! If you haven’t yet, run over and check out the outfits for this week and then make sure to vote! If you didn’t guess already…I’d LOVE your vote!:)
There are few things that I love more than color, color, color! When I heard that this fourth week was all about picking one color and making an outfit around it, I knew exactly the color to choose!
Yellow has always been such a happy color to me..and with spring in full bloom (or as full bloom as you get here in Las Vegas), I thought it was a perfect match.
I LOVE the trendy combination of stripes and floral so I grabbed 2 different colors of yellow and made striped fabric. I wanted a simple dress for the bold fabric and love how this little A-line shape came together.
I added extra large pockets to “fun” it up a bit and to give my daughter plenty of room to carry her little toys in. I also added some fun pleating around the bottom, the neck and even used it to make some flutter sleeves.
I love how playful and fun the dress is and how it fits her personality.
One of my favorite details is the pleating detail I did going down the sides of the dress.
I wanted to think outside the box when I put the stripes and floral together, so I whipped up some fun accessories to add to the outfit…and I think they pull everything together just right.
The brooch and hair clip were made using THIS tutorial.
The shoe clips are removable and interchangeable.
I even made a cute cuff out of the pleating and a small flower.
And that is my yellow outfit for the week…Seeing my girl in it reminded me of the song “Here Comes the Sun”, and thus the title!
