SPRING INSPIRATION

I've been scouring the internet for inspirations for my spring wardrobe.   Net a Porter is one of my favorite sites because I can really zoom in and see the details and they are not so youth oriented as are some of the other sites.

I like this Roberto Cavalli jacket.  I think that I've found a Patrones pattern that I can use for this.  I may even have a fun silk lining left over from a coat I made a few years ago.  I have black cotton from a Michaels sale for this one.

I like the exposed zipper on this.  I've been looking for a dress pattern to use some great black and white silk I bought last year when Textile Studio was closing down.  She really had some gorgeous fabrics.   I need some sleeves though.

I have some black and white zebra print silk that I want to use for a blouse.  In a recent Burda, and of course its not up on the website yet, they had a lace front tunic that I think will work for it.  I also want to make a couple of cotton  blouses.  I am getting tired of sewing knits. 
For bottoms I'm planning a pencil skirt or two and of course, pants.  I need pants to match that tan linen jacket I made last year. 

Right now I am working on a pair of jeans from the January issue of Burda.  They are almost finished and I have never  gotten so close to perfect so easily, or at least not in a long time.  I hope to finish those today.
