Also, I really want to try to replicate these clothes with only me, my scraps, my sewing machine, and I... and any other possible tools it might require...

Yup, just browsing Anthropologie's new arrivals.  If I were to in fact buy all of these items, I would spend $510... + tax of course.  Yeah, I know. I think I could at least come close to the ending product for possibly the price of dinner at a pizza place, just sayin'.  But of course, I can't talk the talk unless I can walk the walk, so let me shut my big mouth until I've got some home-made fashion ready to show you.

Happy Hump Day!
