Trula Style Fashion November 13th 2007: Pink Band Skirt & Blazer

This is a skirt I made inspired by one spaceimaginarium (fellow wardrobe re-mixer on flickr) has, check it out. I loved her skirt and as soon as I saw it I wanted to make one. I had a swatch of new pink fabric my daughter gave me, it was left over from one of her sewing projects. She knows I love pink so she gave it to me. I was saving it for something special!

With the exception of the pink fabric the skirt is reconstructed from other clothing items. The top dark grey part is from an old pair of pants I could no longer fit, as is the brown part. The light blue fabric at the bottom is from an old pair of footie pajamas from one of my kids when they were a toddler. The feet were all torn so I could not give them away. I loved the color so I kept them to be used in some sewing project. I am considering sewing up the edge of the bottom but I like this raggedy look. We'll see.



For my top I am wearing a thrifted dark blue blazer and underneath a stretchy top blue tee. No shoes in this pic but wearing my dark black flats when I go out.

My outfit for today!

This is a skirt I recently made out of other clothes. The black drawstring waistband is from a pair of shorts I could no longer fit, the blue/teal bottom is from a house dress that also became to loose for me on the top due to weight loss, and the yellow middle is from a shirt. It's very soft and comfortable and flexible, I can bend and run in this!

Top is a shirt of my husband's, white tee underneath. The head wrap is from the old house dress like the skirt. I am wearing my black flats for shoes. No jewelry except for wedding ring. and red lip gloss and black eyebrow pencil for makeup.
