Pink Skirt 2 Ways – Refashion #2

May 8, 2012

Just like yesterday’s refashion, this one started with a long, thrifted skirt.  I wanted the length a little above the knee, so I used another skirt of mine whose length I liked, and I placed it on top of this one to help guide me with the cutting.  Then I just folded over the fabric, ironed it in place, and hand-stitched the skirt and it’s liner.

I think it turned out really cute!  But the real test for my wardrobe is versatility.

Here’s the skirt dressed for work…

And one outfit that I wore during the weekend…

Make sure you stop by tomorrow…it’s Refashion #3!  And it’s probably my favorite one yet!

1st Outfit – shirt (Gap) – thrifted // shoes – Target and I spray painted the tips pink // bracelets – vintage

2nd Outfit – t-shirt, scarf – Forever 21 // denim shirt – c/o Sheinside  // bag – thrifted

      All I’ve been using is a needle and thread…it’s easy! It just one of those projects that needs a chunk of time.

    LOVE the layering in outfit #2 with pretty scarf and all the colors! It’s so vibrant and relaxed. Also like how you went minimal with the jewelry in outfit #1, to not compete with a bright skirt.

      Thanks, Van! Yeah…that skirt was pretty bright for work, but I think my co-workers are used to it by now!

    What a great find! Such an awesome colour, and I really like the finished product! I love a successful refashion of something you’ve thrifted, it feels so satisfying :)

      Thanks, Corinne! I couldn’t believe that someone gave it away…the skirt itself is really nice!
