Here's another 50-cent skirt I purchased during my 50-cent skirt binge.
Love the color and love that it's 100% silk; but it was too big.
I didn't want to change much about it, so took the panels apart and took in the rear panel a pinch on both sides and then added pleats on the front panel for a paper bag skirt.
Then put both panels back together and voila!
The length was a too long for me so I cut off a few inches at the bottom, re-hemmed and used the excess to create belt loops and a belt.
I would show you all my shoes, but... I've failed the challenge and repeated a pair.
In my defense, I had lots of walking to do today due to meetings and stuff at work.
So I wore flats and being that I don't own as many flats as heels, I resorted to a pair you all have already seen.
Forgive me co-challenge participants.
It was either flats or tennis shoes; and we can't be havin' that!
The skirt looks utterly hot.
