I just bought 3 skirts that I'm so excited to wear as dresses. I posted them as dresses on my blog, but I forgot to take a picture of them as skirts first. oops! One of the many reasons I love this blog is because the 3 of you have so many good tricks to share! Extending necklaces, using brooches for pendants, skirts as dresses. The list can go on and on. Thank you (all 3 of you!) for not hogging all the great fashion tricks for yourselves! :) I love tricks like this that make items more versatile.

I think I'll have to try that layering look and wear this with a sweater over it in the colder months! @Linda and Midorigreen - I kinda thought that if I were larger in the chest area it might have messed with the evenness of the hemline more. This trick might be limited to a medium to smaller chest size... S. @Audi – that blue skirt of yours worn as a dress looks great!

Anyone else find that the skirts blow up when worn as dresses? I’ve worn skirts as dress but I find I’m a bit top heavy for strapless dress without a cardigan.

Penny, I think it's funny that you like this more as a dress than as the skirt it's intended to be! I guess sometimes it's good to question the mode of intention and experiment with other ways. Thanks! Sal, I was a little scared of this color mix, to be honest. I wore A LOT of color yesterday but something about the bright day outside and my cheery mood made me feel like it was a go. Glad you liked it! :) Thanks everyone for your encouraging words!
