The Peg Skirt, The OOTD

If you are anything like me, you may be wondering what in the world OOTD means. Don't feel bad, it took me a while to figure it out, but it stands for Outfit Of The Day. I come  across a lot of blogs that use a lot of abbreviations, some I get and others, well, I just keep on going knowing that I've missed out on something!! Oh well.
The last week of March I posted a tutorial on drafting a peg skirt and then finished up the tutorial the beginning of April. You can see it here.

 I also made the little top with cars running all over it, but it's been just too cold to wear the outfit,

 until today.

 Actually, I've worn the top, once. We had a rather warm evening recently and I did wear it out.

I felt that I needed a little something over my shoulders today, so I threw on the little capelet that you see in the picture below. It is not the circle cape that you have seen many do, it actually has a dart in the back which works very nicely. It's one of my patterns.

You can see the killer white shoes that I told you I want to wear with a pair of pants to go with the Paco jacket pattern. When I say killer, yes they are rather high, but they are surprisingly comfortable. If I ever fall off of them though, Lord help me!!

A back view of the capelet.

With my hair out of the way you can see the dart that is at center back.

The dart, along with the soft gathers along the back of the neckline allow the top portion of the capelet to become a hood.

I sewed small buttons on either side of the neckline in order to close the piece and

to form the nice draped collar effect.

I think it looks rather nice. Aren't we lucky to be able to wear clothes that we've made?!
Hope you've had a lovely day.
