Summer Skirt in Winter

Winter is a beautiful time of year, but as much as I love it, I sometimes find the options for clothes limiting. And sometimes that means a silly, lacy, flowery, summer skirt is called for in the dead of winter. With wind-chills hovering around zero Fahrenheit, I make sure to double up my leggings underneath and wear my long, wool coat.

I have been told that my coat is a little out of date (ie, something people would have worn in the 90s), but I don't care. I tried with those synthetic poof-ball things and I don't get it. They make a funny noise when you move your arms, they don't cover your legs as well, and there's no way you could wear a silly skirt with one.  

Stay warm and have fun out there!

Dead Fish Skirt

I keep forgetting to show you the skirt I made out of the fabric I got in November.

I had an old skirt that was sort of falling apart at the bottom, so I ripped that part off and used the super awesome waist-band. It was a little difficult getting the skirt to match up with the waist, but I got it eventually. I had to hand sew it because I was afraid of messing up my machine on the boning. 

It's still a little cold outside for short skirts, but I don't care. I love it!
