So this is what you get. Sorry peoples. Hot has Hades and this gal can’t get used to it just yet. Sun dress that I patterned off of a 1960 crazy Hawaiian muumuu. It was a pain but the results are great - especially when made out of some 1960s deadstock white printed cotton/poly blend.</p> <p>Dress: by me!</p> <p>Shoes: Camper</p>http://nopants2011.com/post/25028068267http://nopants2011.com/post/25028068267Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:41:21 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ke5uKeKo1qg54qto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Day 163</p> <p>So here I am off to the check-up with the doctor. As you can see… I’m not a happy camper at all. Kept it simple cause, who in the heck wants to look cute at a county hospital? Well, me actually, I digress.</p> <p>Vintage dress with blue button socks. Wore a simple waist belt that hopefully ties in the bond girl boots. Boots used to stomp all those mean biting spiders!</p> <p>Dress: 1950s vintage house dress</p> <p>Belt: LA crazy alley store</p> <p>Boots: Fluevog</p> <p>Socks: Sock Shop Haight Street</p>http://nopants2011.com/post/25027847216http://nopants2011.com/post/25027847216Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:37:06 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5kdz2HqUu1qg54qto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Day 160</p> <p>This is me hours before going to the ER… see how I can’t really sit down? I thought it was “no big deal” and that “it just needed time.” Did anyone ever tell you that I’m stubborn like bull? Tis true. But at least when I DID go to the ER I looked adorable right? Paired my embroidered and beaded skirt with white knee-highs to tie in the white t-shirt. Then layered a thin cotton cardigan over the white to tie into the red of the skirt. Big boots because I was PLANNING on working. That didn’t happen…</p> <p>Skirt: Gift upcycled by me!</p> <p>Shirt: Hanes</p> <p>Sweater: Gift (anthropologie)</p> <p>Socks: Sock dreams, Oslo popcorn knee highs</p>http://nopants2011.com/post/25027636688http://nopants2011.com/post/25027636688Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:33:01 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5kdpbjo4o1qg54qto1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5kdpbjo4o1qg54qto2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Day 158</p> <p>So I promised you all a new skirt about seven days ago… and seven days ago I was bitten by a spider. Which, seven days ago didn’t seem like that bad of a thing. Until it was. So we’re a little hap-hazard as the only times we left the house was to go to the ER or the follow-up doctor. But never fear!! NO PANTS is thankful for awesome doctors and, well, no pants. Because the spider bite was on my butt and if I had to wear pants I would have killed someone.</p> <p>So here is that awesome new skirt. Peasant style like the last few I’ve made. I’ve finished it with a 1/4” roll hem so it’s a little smarter. Plus it’s made out of a 1940s wool crepe that I bought at an estate sale eons ago. Paired with a cute vest and a ruffle T it is fun and sophisticated!</p> <p>Skirt: by me!</p> <p>Shirt: gift from friend</p> <p>Vest: free box (banana republic)</p> <p>Shoes: Fluevog</p> <p>Socks: not sure… most likely from Sock Dreams. </p>http://nopants2011.com/post/25027337747http://nopants2011.com/post/25027337747Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:27:10 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m55qwnt7uC1qg54qto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Day 157</p> <p>I had a day in the studio yesterday and found that I got so wrapped up in this client creation that I looked up and one moment and it was past 7pm and the light had gone from the “Grey Stairway of No Pants.” So I skipped it entirely. I hope you don’t feel rejected NO PANTS fans… cause I’m back - with another vest cause their snappy. Skirt is long and easy to hide the fact some someone has to shave her legs. HELLO!
