I like vintage looks. I have a tacky gene that loves to mix prints. I have fun trying new things with my hair. I'm a bargain hunter and hardly ever buy an item full price. I love to sew, and feel pleased as punch when I wear something of my own design.

When an Outfit Just Happens
Gold Hoop Earrings: Gift from Hubby
Pearls: Gift from Friend
Black Beads: Had for Ages
Coral Ring: Silver Artist at an Antiques Show
Red Leather Belt: Wall's Outlet
Top: DIY
Skirt: Vintage Dress refashioned into Skirt
Red Blazer: Thrifted
Red Leather Shoes: Marshall's
I usually choose what to wear to church on Saturday night. I wasn't sure last night so I hung several options out, among which was this skirt. I had planned to wear it with a top that is in storage, but really it isn't cool enough yet. I had finished painting the Owl on my tank top yesterday, so it was laying across the ironing board, and as my gaze fell on it this morning I knew it would pair nicely with the skirt. I first thought of a Black belt, but when I reached for the belt I grabbed the Red one instead. Since the belt was Red, it made sense to wear the same color shoes. I stumbled across my Coral ring when I was digging for my pearls. Right before I headed out the door, I grabbed my Red Blazer. Outfit complete.
When I was reconstructing the Skirt from a Vintage Dress, I decided not to attach the lining. I thought I'd have more options if it was left separate, then I could wear the long liner, or a short liner, or tights, or shorts. For the rest of the day, I removed the Lining Skirt and wore Black shorts underneath.
