I got some cheap, peppermint-candy printed fabric to try a new skirt pattern. I've got it planned in a pretty blue rose fabric for the store, and maybe the houndstooth knit too? Even though it's a slightly effed up first draft, I still like it. Pockets on anything have that effect of me, as does sugar...
I didn't want to look like a candy striper, so I paired the skirt with a black band tee and some "tuff" boots.
tee - the national, altered | skirt - self made | boots - crossroads
I like The National a lot, but I love the tree on this shirt and it's the main reason I bought it, haha. On my lunch break today I got some earrings for the next giveaway and found Slaughterhouse Five in the used bookstore today, yay for new reading! Thanks again ladies for giving me your recommendations ♥
LOVE this outfit! That skirt is adorable-- can't believe you made it! and your hair looks awesome, too!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love Slaughterhouse Five. Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors. And I love the skirt!!! How did you learn to sew? Most people learn through their mom but my mom wasn't too keen on those kinds of things.
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt :D
ReplyDeleteI've never read slaughterhouse 5, must get on that
ReplyDeleteI just really love this outfit, dunno why, it all just works so well! I really love the cut of your skirt!
Cute skirt! Your hair looks great here.
ReplyDeleteI really dig the skirt- and I see no effupedness. Bravo! And yes, very badass of you to pair it with those boots and tee. You little rocker babe, you.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute skirt.. and those boots rock. I just put up a peacock patterned skirt for you, take a look!! http://stylewilderness.blogspot.com/2010/05/19-steps-to-frustration.html Although there was actually one up already and I just had forgotten!!
