Cuddle Me Comfort

I love comfy. Yoga pants, off the shoulder sweaters, cozy socks to take the chill off from the hardwood floors. All of it. And when I became a Mom, the definition of comfy became less “cute” and more “function”- also known as, “whatever would be nursing friendly and I wouldn’t hate to throw away after nights of spit up and being stretched out.” But now that the days of being a food source are over, I have slowly started to work my closet back to more “cute”, including my “lounge” drawer. Which is why when I picked my stop on the Rebecca Page Comfy Town Blog Tour, I knew I needed to find something outside my normal Pippa Pants and Drapey top.

Enter, The Chloe Cami.*

This is not my first rodeo with the Chloe Cami. I actually featured it on a previous blog post when I showcased a “Mommy and Me” version with MY Chloe-girl. But this time I wanted to make it a stand alone piece. So I extended it, quite a bit.

I still used the short and long layer to get the look I wanted. I took the pattern and laid it against that of a mini dress pattern I use (and apparently added a few extra inches) to get the extra length. I made sure to extend my pattern not just down but also out to the sides to get a nice swingey drape.

This fabric I found at Wal-Mart in the “value fabrics” section, so I am not 100% what kind of woven it is. I am pretty sure it is actually some sort of home decor piece, due to the weight and sheen. But it is lightweight and airy and just gorgeous. I love this muted olive color for me.

After I got the dress assembled I slipped it on and started to spin. It falls nicely and looks fantastic, this is definitely something I could wear around the house and take photos in Christmas morning! But even better, add a belt and some boots, and I’m ready to head out for some Southern Stylish Christmas fun for dinner too! Dual purpose. What more could a burgeoning fashionista Momma ask for?? I mean, except possibly pockets… Oh the joy!

‘Tis the Season right? I hope my short and sweet Chloe inspires you to revisit an old favorite in a new light. Whether you are having a white Christmas, or a heavenly hot holiday, the Chloe extended can be the perfect “go-to” in your wardrobe!
