These button front skirts are everywhere this year (and I mean absolutely everywhere!) Madewell, Banana Republic, ASOS, and J. Crew all have their own versions, but essentially it's the same wool skirt. I've had my J.Crew Ryder skirt folded in a box for a couple years now because it was too big and there was no, no, no way I was ever getting rid of a herringbone wool skirt from J.Crew even if it didn't fit, so the minute I saw the Flair skirt at J.Crew this fall, I knew I could transform my old skirt into something updated and useful The re-haul turned out to be less complicated than I imagined (it took a few hours), which was the icing on the cake. Bring on the tights and cool weather. I'm ready
A more complete tutorial on how to re-work the J.Crew Ryder skirt is here.
I randomly stumbled onto your blog and have been following it for a few weeks now... and I am HOOKED!!! You are so creative and I love your style. It has already been influencing my closet. I am an amateur sewer and knitter and creator of anything cute! You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing a part of u. Keep it up, and I'l keep reading about it!
ReplyDeleteSNAZZY!!! :)... Much better than the origional too!
ReplyDeletewow- what a perfect use of the old classic skirt! Great buttons too- they look like part of the skirt, which is definitely as skill. So often new buttons just look, well, applied to fabric!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL -as always!
ReplyDeleteLove love love this outfit!! Such a great idea.

ReplyDeleteI've noticed rit dye is huge right now and I have a few items I think I am going to transform. That's big for me :)

ReplyDeleteThat skirt is very pretty. I'm wondering if it can be made from a pair of wide leg pants? I don't have any skirts that are a little wide on me.
