[Dress worn as skirt: Zara] [Jacket: made by my grandma] [Shoes: Eden] [Clutch: Thomas Wylde] [Jewelry: Omega, my own design, vintage]

My grandma made this jacket.  At first I thought it might just have been something she bought, but then I found her name stitched in it, and the buttons are definitely hand-made.  She was the most amazing seamstress.  I can remember spending hours in her sewing room playing with all the crystals, buttons, and bobbles, and every once in a while getting my finger stuck by a needle.
