sari not sari

Summer, and specifically summer fashion in Nashville, means one thing:

simple, light, and very light layers- if you dare.

Simple is definitely chic- but sometimes it feels boring to me! 

Layers are definitely the way to add spice to a look

but not worth a sweat-induced coma in the muggy 90+ degree days! 

I was very excited to try my hand at some handmade projects (sewing for the first time!)

while home with my Mom, and here's the fruits of my labor!

Mom had a bag full of old saris (aka beautiful fabric), and I selected several to transform into scarves and skirts! We didn't get a whole lot done this trip since someone had to rendezvouz to Finland...

but I was especially pleased with how this turned out 

(not a real serious DIY...I get it. But if you only knew how craftily challenged I am).  

Here's my first set of pictures in my new neighborhood and front yard!

East Nashville has some super awesome and unique backdrops for outfit pictures to come...

and about a million cool places I've only started exploring this week! 

Definitely making a mental list for pictures as I run/bike around!

I'm also excited to share some pictures of my new house that I'm still working to set up!

On that note- I'm off to get some frames ready for my room. 

One last thing:

I finally have a button!

Another super simple DIY that took me for a spin.

I would love to button swap with anyone interested! Hit me up at priyaannpappu@gmail.com!

Talk to you soon!
