(Not) Yer Grandma's Skirt Suit.

Look at that! I'm two for two! So I scored a skirt suit from the thrift store the other day- please see huurrrrr for the original post from yesterdee

Here's the basic jist- except pattern on the top AND bottom.

I tried every which way to make the top work, too. But every time...I felt I looked like a really shitty version of this (and not in a good way):


So I just turned the skirt...into a dress. And what's that? CINCHED THE WAIST. I love cinching waists- it's the easiest way for a no sew upcycle. Cheers. 

I felt like I was really being a little silly with these pictures so I took some serious liberties with color editing. If you think I'm being ridiculous, you're right. I am. But I'm having fun so go scratch!

PS- I miss myspace blogs where you get to write what you're listening to- I'm bangin' out to Skrillex right now. It's fun. 


EEK! Skirt!


plus one belt and sweater. 


some shotty photography.


minus the jacket. 


plus the mirror. 




Thar she blows!


note: these photos were taken on my lil' lunch break at work. I like tiles.
