DIY: Sweater skirts



Earlier in the month, I came across an Etsy site that was selling recycled sweaters that the designer had cleverly converted into cute skirts. She was charging $35.00! 

Um…no, ma’am! 

I pulled out one of my $3.00 thrift store sweaters, a sharp pair of scissors and got to making my own. It is not exactly high fashion, but you couldn’t tell me nothing as I rocked my “upcycled,” olive green mini skirt on Christmas day.  This was a fashion risk for me, as I am usually a jeans and t shirt girl. I topped the skirt off with a GAP long sleeve shirt and a FOREVER 21 single button blazer (gift from baby sister). Black leggings for warmth and my AVENUE tall boots (check them out online if you have big feet or wide calves or both).


Here’s to finding your own personal style.

Stay beautiful,
Michelle
