Hot summer afternoon- exposed luscious flesh, and 1st totally handmade garment

Hello my darling!

I've been neglecting this blog, my apologies. Things are going full-force over at www.fatglamkitchen.com, I've been devoting most of my time to cooking up a storm and sharing it with the world.

Not much is new besides fitting in some thrifting when I can, and getting outside as much as possible. Today is one of the warmest days we've had this year, and I dressed appropriately.

I thought I'd share my outfit today, not only because I love it, but it was wonderfully empowering to go out in public with my midriff exposed. Yes, fatgirls can wear tummy-tops, too. Suck on that, haters.


Also, I'm proud to say I made the skirt myself, from vintage 1950s fabric I scored from an antique shop for $10/a bolt, sewn with a slightly altered vintage pattern. It was the first garment I've made 100% from scratch, while it isn't perfect, I'm very happy with it!



My hat is vintage , which I embellished myself with lots of flowers to cover a hole. Make do and Mend!



Happy Summer, everyone!
