Sporty Cool


I bought this denim skirt from JCP a few years back and was going to toss it because frankly Mel never liked it and still don't. I probably didn't either since there wasn't any hesitation to throw it into my toss away pile. Lately I've been pulling pieces back from the pile and giving them fresh makeovers. For this skirt, I figured that a knee length style would look better and I'll like it a lot more than I originally thought. I can style it with riding boots when the temperature drops and with a pair of high top chucks when it gets hot again. Let's face it, I can wear it with anything just because it's denim. As you can see, the skirt had a split in the front, so I added a leftover piece from the scraps and sewed it using the mustard/gold colored denim thread. I left the edges raw. Fresh and easy! I styled it with a cropped sweater that I made, floral cap and a pair of ankle boots for a sporty Fall look. 



Have a great weekend!!
