{7.12 | skirt restyle}

by Patty | Jul 13, 2011 | what i wore | 2 comments

A successful fix! I made this skirt last fall (? it was in honor of Mondo from Project Runway!) and the waistband was a flop due to fraying fabric. I didn’t want to trash it, didn’t want to fix it. I finally replaced the waistband with a yoga-style stretchy one! Yay! I spent the day sewing, working and teaching a class. Starting to feel a small yearning for fall…

skirt: handmade (blogged here), then restyled (blogged here)

tank: Target

sweater: Target then shortened, blogged here

shoes: Target

belt: The store that shall not be named (walmart)

necklace: vintage, from the Vintage Studio

bracelets: Avenue

Fall??!! Don’t say it, sister.

I love the combination of patterns and textures here. A feast for the eyes, and very Mondo-esque.
