I think lately I'm more interested in creating impulse designs. I am so easily distracted and get bored working on "collections". Sometimes despite finding something inspiring there are only a few designs I really want to invest time in sewing. And I'm at a difficult time in my life where I'm interested in everything but not one single thing. There were years where I only wanted to dress in peterpan collar blouses, knee socks, and wool coats. I still want to dress that way but I find my day to day life requiring more practical items and my interest drifting. It's just hard trying to figure out one thing that I want to be at this point. Most of the time it feels like forcing something. I think I'm just not a concrete designer at the moment and embracing that seems like a nice idea despite how unguided it might be.
I want to reflect light like a disco ball though. I had on a top with sequins on the other day and at times I would notice little glittery lights on surfaces around me. It's close to the holiday season and while that's a common look for new years I'd like to wear a dress like this all the time. I found a cool way to play with illustrating these dresses too. I think it only works because sequins are so textured you can't see the disruptions where I've edited. I found two images and used them to make sleeves and a shift silhouette for these dresses. My favorite is the fitted waist with the crewneck.
