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!
So cute and such great fabric!
