Pink Flamingos!

Another new top with made positively adorable, pink flamingoey fabric!
I couldn't help but pose for these pics with my own plastic garden flamingos.
This cotton voile was purchased from The Fabric Store during the school holidays. This was one of my very restrained purchases that Oliver and James insisted I buy. How could I say no?
I'm really happy with this top and it fits well in my wardrobe. When I'm not wearing dresses, I'm wearing looser tops with skinnies or a slim skirt.

I received many compliments at school when I wore this, from both teachers and students.
As with my last high cut tank, this is my own pattern. This time I used a contrast pink viscose fabric for the back yoke. Love it!

I still have another tank in this style planned and intend to use this awesome Japanese cotton sateen from Miss Matatabi -  yum!

    Love this make on you. I saw this fabric and wondered what one would make with it. Turns out it's a perfect little top!

    Awesome. Super cute but the well cut design makes it not too young or twee. Also Flamingoes! I bet the kids like it.

    I can see why you received so many compliments. The colour really suits you and the at contrast back yoke is a stroke of genius.
