How to Wear DIY: The knit pleated skirt
I even got a chance to wear the brown skirt I've been so excited about making for ages--I finally made it this fall, along with two others that didn't require patterns, and I'm glad I was able to make it work for a festive winter look. All three skirts have warm fall colors, but I refuse to retire them with the falling leaves!
I wore this to work and then to a family dinner after work--love the versatility. And the length of the skirt, which makes it not too youthful and playful for work but also not at all dowdy. That's one fantastic thing about making your own clothes--you can make whatever length you please, thank-you-very-much,-society.
Sweater: H&M via Goodwill. Shirt: Old Navy via Goodwill (similar). Necklace: Target via Goodwill.
Flats: Land's End Overstocks. Skirt: DIY, no pattern and simple construction!
I also rocked the teal and white fair-aisle print scarf, several chunky cable knit sweaters, broken-in riding boots, and a red plaid flannel shirt at different times over the holidays. What were your fave outfits this holiday season??
