Simplicity 6594 and more Liebster fun

I have been sewing!
No kidding, and here is the evidence in a few slightly blurry ipod pictures, as I am planning to hopefully fix my faulty Nikon connection today and be able to use proper photographs again for this blog.
 A suspender skirt with a fab vintage checked cotton found in France in orange and teal.
I made the braces but decided not to sew them on as I felt they really didnt suit me and looked rather rideeeeeyculous on me! Too bad, but I love the 60sness of the skirt anyway.

EEeeek, noooo. I look Swiss! or something.

AAAh much better with my new old 60s Crimplene top found in a charity shop on top of the skirt, much more flattering!

Worn with cream lacy tights and my new nude cut out brogues.

a close up of that luuuuuverly 60s top and my silly mug...............aaaah those shoes.

And now for the rest of the questions Rehannon included as part of the Liebster award:
