Reporting back

Reporting back

My thoughtful plan of three liberty 3/4 sleeved Scout Woven Tee’s gained some momentum on the weekend, and I thought it was time to report back.

Oh how I love the Scout Woven Tee!

This new to me liberty was from a fabric shop owners personal stash and dates back to the 80s.  When I purchased this fabric from the previous owner (thanks Instagram) I was undecided if it was for me or my girls.  As you can see, selfish sewing won!

For a bit of fun, I thought I would style my red, pink and purple poppies Scout with the jacket, cardigan, shrug and cropped jumper as per my plan.  To refresh your memory…

I think the top three outfits work with my quirky romantic style, but I won’t be leaving home in the cropped purple jumper combo.  But yet, here am I posting of photo of it on my blog!  The things I do for you readers.  In the photo above (and it was the best of them!), I don’t like way the Scout billows out from under the cropped jumper.  In hindsight, the jumper looks much better with a slimmer and slightly longer shirt underneath.

The liberty for this Scout was purchased in Tessuti’s Melbourne store with this specific project in mind.  It’s a little more subtle than my poppies Scout, but it allows for bright accessories… and you all know how I love a scarf and/or some beads.

The jeans, boots and my lipstick are the same in both styling sessions, and yet with a change of outer layer and accessories I have created quite different looks.  This little styling session was very good for my mindset about creating a travel wardrobe for our upcoming European family holiday.

The third and final planned liberty Scout?  What can I say?  I’ve moved onto the next project…

A very big thank-you to my dear friend Sharon for the styling and photography.  Sharon’s recently won herself the prestigious role as the Blogless Anna photographer (when I need to be in front of the camera!).  Mr Blogless Anna is very pleased he has been relieved of this duty.

And how about all those changing objects on the wooden stool?  Hilarious aren’t we?
