the dreaded house coat series: chapter 2

shirt: JC Penny's
skirt: thrifted (restyled)
belt: thrifted
shoes: Burlington Coat Factory
earring: Forever 21

 i am in love with this skirt!!  its so retro! haha...retro ha ha.  so i actually refashioned this twice.  at first i made it into an A line skirt and it was really poofy and i didnt really like it at all,  so i made it into a pencil skirt!  and i love it!  i think im really liking pencil skirts right now...i never really wore any before this year.  theyre so form fitting, i mean come on,  who doesnt want to show off their curves??  oh and i totally refashioned something awesome today (well i think its awesome)!! ive been wanting it for a while now and i finally have it!!  but i cant tell you cause its a surprise!  youll just have to check back tomorrow...possibly the next day.  it all depends on how busy i am.  im excited!! haha

p.s. i think i need new shoes...i wear these like everyday!  haha sorry you guys have to see the same shoes over and over again!

p.p.s i guess i really like this shirt because i wore it in my last outfit post...haha i guess i just need another cream colored blouse!

  16. Wow, this skirt is incredible, I would not have been able to think of something this awesome when confronted with that house coat... That would have had to join the "toss"-pile right away. I'm glad you're more creative than I am, because this definitely looks great! Amazing what a little refashioning can do...
