I'm pretty thrilled about this outfit, not because it's anything special but because I made the skirt! I cut up an old hoodie and put half of it back together. It was supposed to to sit at my waist rather than my hips, but I forgot to account for the natural stretchiness of sweatshirt material. Anyway, the result is no masterpiece, but I'll wear it. I always feel pleased when I make something even semi-successful!
Yup, definitely mid-expression in that last photo. I didn't have a lot of shots to choose from for this post, because my camera remote isn't working. Probably just a dead battery.
I love crop tops and knee length skirts! I can't believe you made it, cool!

DeleteThat's awesome you repurposed that sweatshirt!! I never even would have known! And your yellow cardigan is so cute. My favorite color! <3

I think I was inspired by your pink and grey outfit!
DeleteI actually like the last pic the best! I keep seeing these tips for making skirts out of t-shirts and sweatshirts. I might just have to try it myself.
ReplyDeleteHaha, good! It's not that hard if you know the basics of sewing, and there are tons of guides on the internet. So I say go for it!
DeleteGreat sewing skills and I like that you took an old hoodie to make the skirt! I like the middle picture the best. Visiting from UBC...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNice! I've always wanted to get into modding my old clothes...but I lack a sewing machine/the time to hand stitch an item of clothing!
ReplyDeleteI did it by hand, since I'm still kinda scared of my sewing machine. (Meep.) It took forever, but I was watching Miss Marple (and I only work part-time) so it was okay.
DeleteI love everything about the look! Your red lipstick is fierce! The skirt is fab! And your soft heathered colors are lovely. I just keep wanting to get a peek at your necklace design.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I cursed myself for not getting a closeup of the necklace, but I was also too lazy to pull the camera out again. The pendant is kind of a ball of wire? Hard to explain. I'll wear it again soon and take a good picture.
DeleteThe skirt is definitely my cup of tea! Such a skirt I would wear on many occasions.

I hope I will too!
DeleteLove the yellow cardigan! I never would have guessed that your skirt was a hoodie. How cool is that?!?!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carrie!
DeleteNicely done on the skirt, it looks like you did a great job baised on the pictures! I get so frustrated with my level of sewing, even the worst made item form forever21 is better than anything I can make so yeah, impressed with your mad sewing skillz!
ReplyDeleteBahaha, I don't know if I'd go so far as to say "mad skillz", but thank you!
DeleteWow, that was made from a sweater? I couldn't even tell until you mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteSomething about this outfit seems different than your usual, but not in a bad way! You look great. :)
Whoop! I see some belly! :D
Hehe, tummy button! I agree that it's different, though I can't put my finger on how. Thank you!
DeleteI cannot believe you made the skirt. That's brilliant. Never would have known. Repurposing clothes can be so fun. Personally I have no skill with a sewing machine, but wish I did!
ReplyDeleteI actually sewed this by hand, because I don't really know how to use a sewing machine. I only know the basic basics. But I want to learn more! And thank you!
