MICHELLE OBAMAS FASHION INFLUENCE

by

Michelle Obama, of course.  She’s so chic yet her wardrobe is very sensible and typically from reasonably priced stores – not counting her ball gowns and such.

Here’s a sample of the kind of dress Mrs. Obama often wears:

White House Black Market Michelle Obama Dress

What’s NEW about this dress is the waist line treatment.  There are other examples of Mrs. Obama wearing outfits that show off her cinched waist, often with a very wide belt.  Wish I had that figure!  Once upon a time, I did!  Never again, I can assure you.

With this fashion trend in mind, I saw this pattern that I thought would make a lovely accent for any number of outfits.

The original pattern for this is a choker.  However, it wouldn’t take a genius to lengthen the pattern to make it fit around the waist.  I think it would be an exquisite addition to the LBD (little black dress).

Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy Crochet Pattern – A Pretty Little Holiday Make for Battery Tea Lights

If you love adding little handmade touches to your Christmas decorating, this Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy from CraftBits is such a pretty project. It is festive, eye-catching, and just the sort of small crochet make that can add a lovely pop of holiday color to a table, shelf, or mantel.

What I really like about this pattern is that it feels special without being overwhelming. It is a sweet seasonal project for dressing up battery tea lights, and the poinsettia design gives it that classic Christmas look that never gets old. It would be gorgeous as part of a holiday centerpiece or made up in a few sets for decorating around the house.

You might have seen this one featured on Crochet.CraftGossip before, and it is easy to see why it is worth another look. It is cheerful, decorative, and a lovely way to bring a little crochet into your Christmas styling without taking on a huge project.

If you are in the mood for a small festive make, this one is definitely a pretty pick.
