Wednesday Re-Fashion: One Piece, Two Ways + GIVEAWAY

Admittedly, we had another plan for this blog--but the sewing project didn't turn out exactly how we wanted, so in a stroke of genius, we decided to make something out of the other meaning of Re-Fashion:  to fashion again.  We took one vintage piece and styled it up two ways.

The purple paisley floral skirt has an elastic waistband and falls a few inches below the knee in length.
For the work look, we added a basic tank, black  biker jacket and black knotted wedges.
For the play look, we belted the skirt as a strapless dress and paired it with flat gladiators and layered necklaces for a low key bohemian touch.

We love pieces that are versatile, especially vintage pieces!  If you can't afford a whole new wardrobe, try being creative with what you have.  We've only styled this two ways, but there are many more options for a skirt like this.  How would you wear it?  Answer in the comments section and this skirt and a $25 Miskabelle gift certificate could be yours!  

We're excited to see what you come up with.  Giveaway will end next Wednesday, May 19th and winner will be announced on Thursday, May 20th.  Winner chosen at random from commenters (get a second entry if you RT the link on Twitter!).

Stay gorgeous,
A

  4. Well, I'm really into bobby socks right now, so whatever I pair it with better include some of those! The Spring weather's been chilly, so I think some bobby socks, wedge sandals, and a patterned wool sweater for warmth. Email: timeenoughfordrums@yahoo.com. Annie.

  6. I love this as a dress! I'm too short to wear long skirts, so I'd wear it as a dress with a belt, my cork wedges, and dangly chandelier earrings.

  8. With skirts this flowy i like to *attempt* re-purpose them into simple summer loose shorts (think anthropologie sleepwear). ive tried this many times with thrifted skirts and although im not always successful, ive always loved the ones that worked out. if i made a set outta this skirt id rock it with a deep v tshirt and a wide brown woven belt.

    keep up the good work ladies!

  10. I'm with everyone else and <3 it as a dress too. I can see it with pink flats (shocking), a wide white belt, and a chunky beaded necklace. Pashmina or jean jacket, depending on where you're taking it. :)

    Love this game!

  14. Not to be repetitive but I also love it as a dress! I'd either taper it with my skinny pink belt (for day)or just pair it with my brown leather jacket and some chunky jewelry(for night) both with brown open-toe sandals. Either way, it's an adorable piece!

  18. Oh, it's so cute as a dress! It could also be a nice scarf, I think. But yes, I'd wear it as a dress with a cream jacket and brown belt + boots in spring!
