Refashion: The yellow skirt

Have you ever gotten dressed in a hurry and as soon as you walk out the door you realize how bad your outfit is, but then it's too late to change so you're stuck wearing a bad outfit all day? Well, that's what happened to me yesterday. I was going to show you this refashion but because I disliked my outfit so much I changed back into my pj's as soon as I got home from church. Good thing I was able to wear the refashioned skirt today (again) and this time I did like my outfit. I thrifted this dress 2 years ago and I had shortened it, but then I never wore it because I didn't like the fit or the sleeves. After much thought I decided to make it into a skirt. I'm sure I will wear it more as a skirt than as a dress.

I liked the outfit so much I even did a Michael Jackson moonwalk step during recess, but that's another story. ^_^

Wow...I love how you refashioned the dress and I especially love how you styled it with that top and pop of red shoes. Good call!

LOL I would have LOVED to have seen you do the moonwalk! I did the Macarena with my kidlets last week. Actually, I'm always doing crazy dances! Ha!

what a transformation! seriously, i didn't see that coming, as a skirt its amazing, teamed with the denim and red shoes and belt its such a good look, i am now eyeing up my monochrome outfit with disdain! x

Although the dress with those sneakers is pretty amazing, I definitely like the skirt better. And I never would have thought to pair them with a chambray shirt! Bravo!
