DIY December was a bit of a cozy Flickr group, and I had a great time with it. I find that I attend more parties in December than other months, so I wear some things that don’t get a lot of time outside the closet in my everyday life. I did not take pictures every day because there were some duplicate outfits and, well, you just don’t need to see my fur skirt over and over.

I love:
The cape, the fringe jacket and the embroidered jacket. I did ooh and aah my way through all your pictures!
Happy New Year.
Um- did not see the cashmere coat- lovely.
And the fur skirt- I’d wear it to work!
Some really wonderful looks, Claudine. And so different from SSS. 🙂
Claudine, I think you have the clearest sense of style on the sewing / blogging interwebs. Great year.
Claudine, gorgeous pics. I adore your chanel (ever since you first showed it on your blog!) Best in 2011. C.
I still really, really love the black dress with the embroidered collar. So beautiful!!
You have some really cute looks here – the cashmere coat is divine! Happy New 2011!
I agree with Cidell, your sense of style is so defined. I love it! My favorite of course if the Tudors skirt. 🙂 Happy new year!
Claudine, your collection in this post can’t help but awe and inspire. I’m in love with every ensemble, but I love how you manage to make a classic trouser look so modern and hip: wish I could perfect a pair myself… such a great alternative to ubiquitous jeans.
You have such beautiful clothes! I didn’t even know there was a DIY December. Now I’m disappointed I missed out!
Some serious eye candy. You’ve done some impressive sewing over the years with some solid bsics and some great whimsical outfits that suit your style perfectly.
Your fake fur skirt is my favorite. I want one!
