Today, however, we ventured out to the mall to get some things for the boyfriend. He needed more "work" clothes, so we went for a tour.
Shirt from Joe; Maxi from F21 (previously a dress); Jacket from Dynamite; Shoes from Spring; Scarf from ???; Belt from Old Navy
This is my maxi dress that I re-did into a skirt. I chopped the top off - from where the armpit stitching ended. Then I folded the top down about 1.5 inches (enough width for the elastic) and sewed it. Then made a small opening, suck the elastic in, sewed it together, and sewed the hole back up. Voila! And what's great is I made it long enough to wear with heels OR flats, depending on where it sits on my waist. Awesome!
The weather has been terrible the last week - with the exception of yesterday. It was sunny and 25 degrees (Celsius) I spent all day outside walking and roller-blading around the city. I did a lot of people watching, which was fun. I ended up in a number of tourists' photos as well. Sorry...
All in all, a great day. And hopefully a great weekend :)
What a great look for your slim little self. :) Do you have a "Labor Day" up there in Canada? That's what I have to look forward to next Monday, but tomorrow it's back to work.
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you--it's so figure flattering, and the bold colors balanced out with black and brown look great!

I love this look!! Very flattering! I would consider this perfect color blocking! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day off!
this is a fab look, colour blocking rocks. Your maxi skirt is so flattering. I am so envious of bloggers who can alter their own clothes. I'm hopeless at sewing!
ReplyDeleteOkay, Kelly. Now I feel really stupid. What kind of American doesn't know her own holidays?! I meant Memorial Day, not Labor Day! Geez! Couldn't trust me with a plug nickel, now could you? ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the maxi skirt, good DIY-ing :)
ReplyDeleteThe fitted maxi skirt looks great on you!
