Project Run and Play - Lazy Daisy Summer Days

Summer is almost finished in Sydney, but we are enjoying the last few warm days.  Maryanne and I decided to celebrate this in Project Run and Play this week.
For us, sportswear is all about separates  in cool natural fibres - easy to wear and easy to wash ( essential around here!)
We had lots of fun making this outfit .  We really focused on the little details...button tabs on the pants with a classic grosgrain ribbon belt, a double collar and loads of hand embroidery (thanks Maryanne - you're amazing!)

While she's definitely a skirt girl, Lizzy loves this outfit
It's especially exciting when your favourite doll has a matching outfit!
We wanted the outfit to be pretty and a little bit dressed up but still wearable.
Lizzy's smile makes us think we may have achieved our goal!
Make sure that you take the time to have a look at all the other gorgeous designs at Project Run and Play.  Don't forget to VOTE for your favourite!

Maryanne and Caroline

I just voted for you! I absolutely love this creation. It is completely the style I love, and you are an Aussie too, so that was an automatic vote in your direction :)

This is what I imagine Katherine Hepburn must have looked like as a young girl - great job!

Just beautiful! I love the double collar and embroidery detail on the jacket. The top makes me think that a pair of mommy and me shell tops might be in order this summer. So cute!

I can't imagine how long it took you to stitch those details. I was overwhelmed just with the topstitching on my sew-along outfit. Yikes! You're amazing.

So cute...definitely my favorite this week. I LOVE the use of hand embroidery on the jacket and top. It adds such a sweet, personal touch.

Another gorgeous outfit! I am especially in love with the pants. Did you use a pattern? The details are immaculate.
