"April" Shorts

"I declare everything you are saying is stupid." - April Ludgate

Parks and Recreation is FULL of humor and dorky-ness. All 7 seasons are amazingly funny. (It's now Hulu and Netflix, but first aired on NBC.) I started watching this show a couple years ago, the summer before eighth grade--one episode every night with my mom and brother before we went to sleep.April Ludgate (played by Aubrey Plaza) starts off as an intern in season 1 and over the 7 seven seasons you love her character more and more. She very relatable. She is full of dead pan humor.Since she wears a lot of button up and cardigans to work, I put together an outfit inspired by her workwear. I made these tie-waist shorts the same summer I made the kimono, t-shirt dress, and romper. The fabric is from Stone Mountain & Daughter. And I added some lace trim from Fabric Depo. I used the New Look Pattern 6100 (it was part of a Project Runway collection).When I picked out the fabric, I thought the anchors were cute, reminded me of Crew Cuts (kids version of J. Crew). And it worked out perfectly because April has a J.Crew-ish style. Who knows, maybe I'll wear this outfit again one day when I'm an intern!love,laur
