What should I call this?

Ladies, today I'm feeling wild and bright! (and happy). First, I wanted to mention why I haven't shown my finds on the blog, well I'm not the only one on a shopping diet, so is Lyddie, Waves, Andrea, Frances and who knows how many other beauties are struggling through a shopping diet. I thought if I keep posting my awesome finds it would not be helping them because it's like posting candy in front of a hungry child. When I see great stuff on blogs I immediately feel the urge to go and buy something wonderful myself.
Okay here's another refashioning, I thrifted this skirt because I like the color and it was already a full skirt so the refashioning part was going to be easy. It was pretty tight (I could barely breathe). You can always refashion clothes you already have, make something new out of old stuff.
I have to chop of my face because it was so shiny from sweat (and yes I love to run) hehe.
Something totally new, I usually stay with softer palettes but I love blue and red together.
I call this the conquer of the purse.
My tiger-zebra purse.
 Outfit Details:
Ruffle top: Gap
Everything else thrifted
Skirt: shortened by me

I think that purse is so cute. And your outfit is PERFECT for all of our holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July : ) Sometimes it is good to be bright and colorful!

Do you think I could be a runner? I am so fat. I try diets all the time and fail. And fail. AND FAIL. I feel like a permanent failure! : (

Great outfit!
I love your whole blog actually. :) I work at a small Christian school, and I always struggle to come up with cute, modest outfits. I am inspired! After I read this I went and reworked an ugly old dress of my own into a skirt...I can't wait to wear it tomorrow, even though it's Saturday and all I'm doing is going to the flea market. :)

I feel so proud that I went into a thrift store and pulled out tons of pieces, scrutinized them, and left empty handed!!
I suppose the true test will be if I can go to urban outfitters, or tjmaxx and not buy.

Anyway, I made a big purchase this weekend, a train ticket to Boston. Because memories and experiences are priceless, or in this case, $150.
It used to be $90, I was kind of upset with Amtrak.

And oh, I love the nautical color combo, and the zebra and lioness running in harmony on the bag- super cool.
