Yep, I’ve been at it again. Finally I found some time to make myself another pair of those high waisted jeans I love so much. They are light weight, comfortable and just about the best pants I think I’ve ever made. Today’s outfit post is also a very good example of why I started taking outfit photos. Sometimes things look one way in your mirror and quite differently once you head out. It wasn’t until I looked at these shots on the camera that I realised just how transparent the top was and just why choosing a white bra was a bad idea! Straight off the change it before I headed out then. So you’ll have to forgive the bad choice of undergarments here and rest assured that I didn’t spend the day like that!
Sheesh.. I am so glad I took these photos and checked things before I left!
Outfit Details:
Leopard print top – Zara (Singapore) High waisted pants – designed and made by me
Snood – Lindy Charm School for Girls Pearl Bow Earrings – Equip
Cream Bow Bangle – Friends of Couture LOVE ring – Equip
Hair bow (almost out of shot) – My Little Rockabilly
My favorite part of this might just be your awesome bow bracelet. It’s just too cute!
Pretty pretty! I love those jeans, I think I may have to make a pair… or ten.
I love this outfit! I wish I had a figure that would be able to pull off high-waisted jeans.
I’d like to add that your make-up is great!
This outfit is perfection! Can we talk about your nails? Where/What/How? Thank you for sharing!
ZOm: The nails I do myself on stick on arcrylics. I’ll take some better shots of these to post this week, they have stood up to the riggours of life well after nearly three weeks!
these jeans are fantastic. i wish i could sew because i want jeans like that!
Mama I just loves those pants. What pattern did you use? I know you used to make them to sell in your etsy shop, would you do this again as I’d love a pair!
Emma: A reader just gave me the idea to release the pattern which I may do. Other than that I think if people REALLY want a pair, you can email me directly to see what I can do.
skm at the blog address dot com dot au. ( forgive the cryptic format, trying to avoid spam)
Cute Jeans!
And the nails are TO DIE FOR!!!
Are the jeans made from the Kwik Sew 2990 pattern that you love so much? You have inspired me to learn to sew and I MUST have those jeans!!!
Kel: They are similar in that the leg width is the same so I based the block on them then developed it even more.
Love those pants – once I am back in shape I would love to buy a pair if you are still makeing them?
Also those nails are beautiful
Wow, those pants are amazing! Where can I get me a pattern for those?! And I love that shirt, the print is beautifully delicate and the colour is stunning.
As always, congratulations on another fantastic daily outfit.
PS. The white bra mishap made me laugh (:
LOVE the blouse, and the shape of the pants (tho I’m not a fan of denim, but that’s just me). The high waist and contrast buttons are just gorgeous! The ring is very Valentine’s Day too
Perfect hair! How ever do you get those rolls so neat??
FANTASTIC jeans! Love them! And the hair, and bows, too
Phew for taking pics BEFORE going out, too!
And just how do your rolls defy humidity?!
Marianne & Harbour Master: I’ll have to write a special post on it, but maybe we three should get together for a girly day and I’ll show you first hand.
I love the cute buttons on the trousers, they look fab
Love love your earrings but I love the jeans even more. I want a pair. They’re much nicer than the low-rise-show-your-butt-when-sitting-down jeans that tend to be ‘in’.
Hahahah you’re so cute! Lucky for the camera shots, but heck mishap or not, you still look hot!
Haha That made me Laugh up a storm!! What a crack up. I’m sure you looked perfect as always when you left!
Okay, so don’t take this the wrong way since I mean it as a compliment, but with the way you set up the shots in the third, fourth and last pictures make you look a bit like Minnie Mouse. It’s very cute!
Cheers!

Paige: LOL that is funny, I sometimes think the same thing, but I’m down with Minnie.. I was even wearing white shoes!
hehe! I don’t know how many times I’ve done something like that myself: not realizing how transparent a top is until I go outside in the natural light. :p
I love your outfit!!! Those pants are amazing; the red buttons are the cutest detail!

Oh I cant name how many times that happened to me! I’ve started wearing camis and singlets under my particularly transparent shirts!
And I’m with the PP – how do your rolls stay so perfect in this humidity? My hair is NOT behaving!
I love those beautiful pants you have. And the hair is the perfect balance between old fashioned hairstyle and new-fangled bleach bits. Adorable! Also, as a PS, I like how the “leave a comment” girl is you.
I love the outfit! I especially love the pants!!! Do you have any plans to release a pattern for sale?
Catherine: Genius! Everyone keeps asking me to make them but I don’t really have the time and I prefer to fit something so tailored on a body. I may just release the pattern instead!
Leah: Thank you.
Suzy: The trick with the rolls (I’ll explain in more detail in another post) but basically it comes down to Bryle Cream and Laquer!
They’re simply marvelous, SKM. And deliciously flattering!
Love the jeans !! Your sense of humor is fab ! I also watch the bra and sheer top thing, many times I’ve had to change.That bow bangle is great !
Jaede:
Thanks. The bow bangles ( so fun) you can get from Friends of Couture either in store or online. They have them in pink, black and red too, quite inexpensively.
I too, am loving the jeans! Did you create the pattern yourself or purchase it? Tell all …
Kawhai: Thanks. I made the pattern myself from a base of a pattern I already loved. I changed it around a bit, adding things, took things away and came up with this!
Oh the ruffled top & high waisted pants? I love it – you look brilliant.
I love the outfit! BTW, I am sure someone has mentioned this before, but it would be wonderful for a blog, or tutorial, on how you manage to maintain such lovely skin. I am blessed with good skin overall, but I would like to kick it up a notch.
Oh, and how’s the weather? I am looking out my window at about 1/2 a meter of snow. No school today. I should take some pics and post them on my facebook for you to see.
Hi Lorie: Hi! There are a whole bunch of skin related posts in the works that should be done by next week.
Weather wise- it is hot, hot and humid, hot and dry, then hot again. Most days atm are about 32-38 degrees celcius.
I adore the pants!
I know what you mean about Daily Outfit photos. I have just started taking them for my blog in the last month or so and I have found that they give you a totally different perspective on what you are wearing. Very valuable.
You made those pants?! WOW! Brilliant. It’s SOOOO hard to find a pair that fits you perfectly!
Dweam: Sure did, and in under a day too! I just love them cause they look so awesome but are super super comfy too.
