Let's see, that tan goes with those pants, the brown with this sweater, the red with this sweater, and the lilac makes a nice colour change.

Very nice. Trinny and Susannah say in the last book that you should have a wide variety of handbags.

Tell me more about the Trinny and Susannah book - which book is it?

ChelleC said...

This purse has a lilac cloth lining inside, thanks to the sewing magic of my Grandmother. Thanks Grammy!

Blocking ALWAYS helps!!!!! :-) Looks very nice.

It's lovely! I like the before picture, too, so what do I know? :)

This one took more than blocking - it involved sewing the sides in more so that they would have a better shape. And then I also put a button on the outside and used an icord loop to secure it.

Referring to their 4th book - Trinny and Susannah take on America. I've read the other 3 from the library over time and those combined with 40 over 40 have made a big difference in my wardrobe. But that's about as fashion forward as I get.
