Wind and direct sunlight = Sonya is pale in pictures. Actually, the wind has nothing to do with it. But it was windy, I can tell you that. What I can't tell you is how clever I feel after rigging this skirt into a dress! One long scarf, three rosette pins, and voila! Sure, it bunches a little awkwardly, but I think that's because this particular skirt has buttons down the side. Although it occurs to me now that I could have rotated the buttons to the front or the back. Oh well. Anyway, the reason I'm so pleased is that my method would work with any long skirt, and I like being able to wear things multiple ways.
If you have any desire to replicate this, I'm sure you can figure it out from the above photo.
Your creativity... goodness! I have tried turning long skirts into dresses but it never quite works out. This is lovely, though. That lilac color is to die for.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thank you! I dunno if I'd feel comfortable wearing this out and about, but it was a satisfying experiment.
DeleteSkirts as shirts always looked terrible on me! You pull it off so well! I didn't know it was a skirt until I started reading the post. It's awesome that you came up with this unique way of wearing it.
ReplyDeleteOh good! Thank you, Danielle! Although I don't believe that you wouldn't pull it off.
DeleteThis is amazing! The end result is adorable. I think I'll attempt to wear a big skirt tomorrow as a dress, you have inspired me! :)

DeleteLOVE the scarf--> harness of sorts! I can definitely not pull that off without boobing it up too much! hahaha.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, haha, I didn't even think about that!
DeleteThis looks *amazing*! I'm so impressed by your sartorial MacGyvering :-)
ReplyDeleteThe only really long skirt I have (that isn't attached to my wedding dress, hah!) already has shirring at the waist, so it's kind of halfway there already...maybe I should dig it out; it's summer here after all!
Thank you! You should totally try it out and let me know how it goes!
DeleteTotally adorbs. You made it work.
