I've always been one to alter an outfit or a piece of clothing when it didn't work for me. Either a hem, a cut or a major alteration, I don't mind making changes in order for me to increase the functionality of an item.
As I was making a few closet edits I realized that I don't wear this skirt enough and I didn't have one good reason why. Until I tried it on and remembered that the length was too long for me. Heading to put it in the sell pile, I got the bright idea to cut a little off the bottom. Two minutes later and I had the cutest denim mini. Although I must admit I did cut off a little more than I intended, the new length is easier for to integrate into my closet.
Running to lunch on this weekend, I threw the skirt on with my OTK boots, stripe tee and fur vest. It was a super easy look that I know I can recreate over and over again. So my experiment didn't go wrong.
So my dear readers do you ever alter your looks? Anyone take a pair of scissors to some things that didn't quite fit?
Thank you for reading!

ReplyDeleteI haven't taken scissors to anything yet, but I've seriously considered it with all these cute crewneck t-shirts out there! My 12-year-old daughter has NO QUALMS about it and has come up with some pretty cute stuff. I love your OOTD - you're working it!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually trying to get the nerve up to take a pair of scissors to a spring dress right now... it shouldn't be too hard to hem but I still get nervous!
ReplyDeleteI think the length of your skirt paired with the height of those boots is absolutely spot-on, and you're totally slaying it in that last picture! <3
Have I ever told you that I LOVE LOVE legs.....lol....show those legs.
