Entering the Foundations Revealed competition has been a dream of mine for a while, this year I was finally able to achieve it! Here’s my journey of making my wide skirted swing coat based on the character of Death from The Sandman comics.

I didn’t do Nerdvember last year because I got self conscious. Then this year happened and I’m looking to the little things in my life to bring me joy, like putting together a cool nerdy outfit. Bring on Nerdvember 2020!

Comics are the awesome. Not being able to share that love via a silly annual observance due to a pandemic is not. So I took my comic out to my front door and sat on my front step to read. Because why not?

The Sartorial Geek Fashion Fix Challenge is always fun. The people on the hashtag are great and I inevitably discover a new exciting way to style clothing that I can incorporate into my own style. This time I had a lot of fun styling looks in a slightly more low-key way. I tried to pick one piece (even just a tiny piece!) that would fit with the theme and the rest of my outfit was reasonably plain. It felt great! I love wearing geeky things!

Recently American Duchess released a gorgeous 1910’s cape pattern. It’s a lovely wrap front semi-structured cape. I’ve loved seeing all the different versions on the #ADCapeCult Instagram tag, and knew I had to make one of my own!

After I first saw the Solo movie the thing I wanted to talk about most was that Lando had an entire closet just for capes on the Millennium Falcon! Since then it has been a dream of mine to amass a collection of capes that Lando would be proud of.
