Too Haute Shorts – Holiday Style

It’s time for the Lil Luxe Collection‘s (*affiliate link) Holiday Tour!


I decided that Bean would look festive in a Two Haute Skort (*affiliate link) – which you’ve seen previews of here – and a Reversible Crop Top (*affiliate link) this year.

Both of these patterns are typically meant for warm weather, but throw in a pair of tights and a layered tee and it’s a perfect winter ensemble.  Since the weather outside was frightful, we took some indoor pics and decided to forgo the layering (and shoes hehe), but it’d be super cute!

The Two Haute pattern has both shorts and this skort option.  I love the cross-over front panels and thought this floral textured fabric would be the perfect accent.  There’s a slight gold tint to the flowers which makes it feel even more festive. The pattern runs from size 2T to 8!

I sewed a size 4T for the skort and 3T in the crop top and the fit of both is spot on.  The Reversible Crop Top is (of course) reversible so I used the same gold fabric at the bottom panel of the Christmasy side for the main top and the same black fabric I used in the skort for the bottom panel of the reverse side.  That way it’ll get even more use after the holidays!  Speaking of more use, the Reversible Crop Top pattern comes with a paperbag skirt option which I love and I’ll post about another time.

I couldn’t help but post this pic of Bean making a silly face.  She cracks me up lately.  Enter the Rafflecopter below cause there’s a giveaway for the tour which you won’t want to miss!

    Skort-so smart. I love that bean will cooperate with layered looks, mine would be all no shorts are good- don't mind the snow. Cute pictures 🙂

    Me too Amy! It was an old (terrible) table cloth, but I love it chopped up and used in bits and pieces. I also like it on the bias instead of straight plaid 🙂

I'm really excited about this one! The Verdant Wi I'm really excited about this one!  The Verdant Windbreaker is ready for testing!  This 90's-esque 1/4 zip windbreaker has options for a fully lined or basic unlined pullover.  Views A and B have three zippered pockets, including the center pocket which can work as a stuff sack for the windbreaker like all the cool kids had back in the 1900s 😆  Views C and D are more of a pullover sweatshirt/fleece style without the extra bells and whistles, but all of the vibes.
My outerwear is sized 12m to 16 years and the size chart is in the form below. 
Testing will begin on Monday, the 11th of September and will end on Saturday, the 23rd of September, with a fit test (muslin or just the lining) due by Saturday, the 16th of September.

More info on the new backpack. 💕💕 She asked More info on the new backpack. 💕💕
She asked for plain black this year, so we compromised with some of the black and white crosshatch I used for the lining sprinkled around the outside. 😍😍

The black is Cuddle C3 minky from Shannon Fabrics and it’s so soft. I used sf101 interfacing to keep the pieces from stretching out too much with wear. There’s some Decovil light on the main panels for structure too. 

The crosshatch is sailcloth canvas that I had in my stash from Little Cocalico and it’s such a great fabric for bag linings. 

Pattern is the Little Lizard Kind Vada backpack, which is what I used last year and she specifically requested it for this year too.
