After refashioning my blue ruffled skirt into a shirt, I scoured my closet to see what other skirts I could transform into tops.
This lime green baby had only been worn once because I didn't like where the hemline hit my calf. "You will be a shirt!", I said.
Want to know a secret? This skirt actually used to be a dress (just like the blue skirt). So as the saying goes, 3rd time's a charm.
I took in the sides just a bit since it was pretty all around flowy. I didn't want to have a Marilyn Monroe moment when the wind blew, if you know what I mean.
