Who doesn't love skirts with pockets? I wish all skirts and dresses came with pockets. It makes everything easier! That's one of the reasons I couldn't pass up these two skirts while thrifting... they just needed a little love!
I also fell in love with the fabric of this skirt, and the fact that it buttoned. The downside was that it was really long... to my ankles long!
I hemmed it to my knees and added some black lace trim. I honestly can't wait to wear it!! (sorry that the top button just wouldn't close on the dress form... worst!).
I know what you're thinking, and you're probably right... this skirt is ugly! Sometimes I find the ugliest things cute.
This was another very long skirt, and due to the fact that I am really short (5'1ish), I tend to not wear very long skirts... so I hemmed it to the knee. I also thought that I would just play up the dorkyness of the skirt and add some crocheted leaves to accent the leaf-themed fabric. I personally think this skirt is dorktastic! Also, the fabric is super comfy like an old sweatshirt, and it has an elastic waist that makes being in a skirt all day much more cozy!

ReplyDeleteThat first skirt look so different after what you did to it. Its a great transformation! I like the contrast of the blue on the second skirt as well.
ReplyDeleteOH my lawd these are great!! I am always afraid to restyle the skirts i find at the thrift store. I am afraid I won't like it or something. That lace looks great :)
