Before we begin, I have a confession to make. This geometric high-low skirt was once a maxi skirt, but I absent-mindedly threw it the dryer one day. When I pulled that sucker out, it was two inches shorter! My first thought was "all good things come to an end." But, then a pair of scissors caught my eye and I thought, "Not for this skirt!" Because I'm so attached to it, rather than throw it out, I converted it into a high-low skirt (Thank God for the length-forgiving high-low trend).
With a simple makeover, here is my geometric skirt with its new proportions paired with my comfy and cute polka dot denim top. I simply tied the top at the waist, threw on a pair of gray platforms and layered on the bling for my outfit of the day! I thought my outfit was complete until I saw my Parisian hat with its charming bow staring back at me. Lately I've been terribly missing Paris, the fashion capital of the world and the magical city where I did a summer abroad in college. This hat was the finishing touch that made me feel closer to a city I dearly love. Voila! My outfit of the day is all tied up and put together with a pretty Parisian bow. Happy Monday, everyone! xxI added a touch of whimsy with this beautiful bow-adorned woven hat from Island Passage.
The has-been maxi is from Anthropologie, one of my favorite eclectic stores. The gray platform shoes are a Dolce Vita look-alike from Forever 21.
The blinging, silver necklace was a bridesmaid's gift from my sister-in-law. She's got great taste! And there's that knuckle ring that I love so much. It's from Wilmington's own Edge of Urge.
Feeling inspired? Now it's your turn to dress to express (yourself)!
I love love love your outfit! It's a very subtle high-low skirt, and I really like that. I find some more drastic ones just look a bit strange.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like! The subtle angle in hemline enhances rather than distracts from the geometric print of the skirt.
DeleteI love this! Ruined in the dryer... or IS IT!? Way to repurpose girl! PS, loving the hat and shoes here.
