Here is an Outfit: Dinosaurs Go With Everything

Hello! Here is an outfit!



Dinosaur Shirt: Homemade (Sewaholic Renfrew pattern), Skirt: Homemade, Sandals: Gap, Belt: Gift

Gray! It isn't my favorite neutral, so I'm having a hard time matching this skirt with the rest of my closet. Fortunately, dinosaurs go with everything.

Wednesday is our farmer's market/errand-ing/thrift shoppin' day. No fewer than ten folks inquired about the origins of my shirt while we were out and about: I call that handmade success!

Husband requested that I "do dinosaur poses."

Uh...


Tyrannosaurus!


Velociraptor! ("I think that might actually be a rabbit. Or a kangaroo.")


Apatosaurus!


With amazing leaf-eating action!


This post brought to you by HIGH STANDARDS OF ART. That's right, that's me. Contributin' to the internet.

  1. Your apatosaurus is my favorite. I have a weird bird cardigan, but now I think you have convinced me that it is time to branch out to dinosaurs. That shirt is made of win!

    1. Oh, do let me enable you-- I've spotted a couple adorable dinosaur items online that I've had to sit on my hands lest I purchase them. ModCloth and Etsy are particularly bad minefields!

  2. I keep on hearing/seeing wonderful things about the Renfrew! Looove the dinos, want and need. Brilliant!

    1. The Renfrew is brilliant-- the hardest part is deciding which knit to use! (Am I the only one who has trouble finding knits? Anyway!)

      I've been scouring the internet for more awesome dinosaur fabric, but oddly, there aren't many adult-appropriate dino patterns out there. How unfair!

  4. That is definitely an attention-grabbing shirt. Great dino poses! Maybe they'll become a trend in blogland? :)

    1. Hee! "Here I am soulfully looking off into the distance. Here I am examining my shoes. Here I am being a pterodactyl." It... could work.
