If you have an elephant's memory then you may recall this skirt. I did a Wednesday Want on it a while back. Shortly after that post went up I was walking through JCPenney and the skirt was on sale. I grabbed what I thought was my size and went home rejoicing. Turns out I should have reached for the next size down. It's fine in the waist- it just sits a bit lower- but it was obviously too large in the hips. I wasn't sure how to go about remedying that since it has a side zipper so into the pile it went.
The skirt is made up of panels so once I spent 3 seconds thinking about it I realized I could just take it in a little at a couple panels. It was super fast and it annoys me that I went the whole summer without just sucking it up and doing it.
Looking at this picture makes me think that perhaps I need to hem it up an inch or two. Back into the pile...

I really think it's a wonderful skirt! So glad that you finally pulled it out of the repair pile. I love midi length dresses right now, and the relaxed chambray material of this one is just lovely. The pop of colors from the sandals and tee really make for a wonderful look.

LOVE those sandals, but good heavens, I have no luck with CR shoes - they all just FALL apart on me.
ReplyDeleteI third the love-you-sandals movement. The color. Mucho gusto.

This outfit is so cute - nice job with the skirt!
ReplyDeleteI think the skirt looks great! Even at that length it's flattering I think.

Lovely outfit! I think the skirt is cute as is, but could be cuter a few inches shorter (up to you).
ReplyDeleteI've checked out your blog and LOVE it! I'd love if you dropped by my modest fashion blog:
