Alma blouse view 2
On Saturday morning I finished my
Alma blouse just in time for a lunch date with my love. We lucked out a couple of weeks ago when a customer gave us a gift certificate to
Ventana Grill, our favorite local restaurant! We decided to use it ASAP and get cocktails and a nice lunch.
We were starving when we got there, so I asked Luke to take photos of me wearing my new blouse after lunch. Of course, during lunch he got a bunch of work calls and we had to leave quickly, so he only took a couple of photos of me. The lighting isn't the best in either of the pictures and I look pretty windblown, but whatever, I just had an amazing lunch and I got to wear my new Alma!
They have a
good selection of cocktails. My drink (left) was the Ventana View and Luke had the Jalapeno Margarita. Both were amazing.
Oh, the view wasn't too bad either, I love where I live! I wish I was there today, as the temperature is over ninety degrees and I am melting. October seems to have the warmest days for us.
Back to the shirt, I made View B and I am happy with how it turned out. I ordered
this cotton voile from Mood and wasn't too sure about it, but once I paired the collar with it, I loved it! The fabric is very lightweight and perfect for a hot day like today.
Invisible zipper. Oh, I'd like to say "thank you" to
Rachel for helping me with the fit. I asked for help on Instagram and she gave me some advice. I ended up adding 1.5 inches in length and it took away the wrinkles that I was having an issue with. We live a world apart and she gave me fitting advice. Isn't technology great?
This is my first Alma, but not my last...
