No it's not finished yet. I haven't even started properly. I got this beautiful paisley (possibly Etro) at the Mood New York couple of weeks ago. It's a heavier weight wool, and the first thing I thought was a coat. Then, I thought that would be too much paisley for me if I made a coat. It would be unworn most of the time.

Then I thought - a dress. There is some nice movement on this fabric and with some tweaking I could tailor a nice piece, but then I decided the fabric may be too heavy for a dress.

Meanwhile, look what I unearthed from the Etro Fall 2006 collection:

I do like the jacket, and I am thinking whether I should just focus on this simple style. I just don't want to butcher the print and a simple jacket like this would work great with black pants or jeans (which I tend to wear a lot). It could work with silk prints, like on the image above... And, if I cut economically I may be able to make a pencil skirt as well.
What's important is that this fabric is my Mood allowance for September. I need to make a decision and start working. Ok, there is no $100,000 prize on stake, and most likely I won't be eliminated, yet I want to have a wearable piece that I like and that reflects my style. So, I give myself another day to think it over and then I should start working. The fact is I need to finish it by next Sunday... yes
any thoughts?
