"Dress"-ing Up Your Skirt: Spring Edition


Hello Fans of Fashion!

In last week's post, I displayed an item that wasn't as it appeared. This week I was eager to reveal that item and how it can be worn with my 2WBT1 label.
 Drum roll, please...



It is my midi, flare skirt. Midi flares are a fabulous item to own and are lovely for Spring, especially in the Northwest. They come in many different color palettes, allow you to stay stylish and warm on cool, spring days and can be worn in more ways than one.



 As a Skirt.
Wear it as a skirt. In this photo, I chose to include items that give my skirt a relaxed, spring look. Adding a loose, cotton blouse and some sandals,  give the look a modern, bohemian feel.  I tucked one side of my blouse in and threw on a scarf to give it that extra layer of warmth and style. As you can see, this specific skirt sits low on my waist and hits me at about mid-shin, making it the perfect skirt to get creative with. 


As a dress.
Wear it as a dress. Because of its fit, this skirt makes a sensational strapless, mini flare dress. Rather than zipping it just above your hips, pull it up and fasten it just above your bust. Be sure to add a belt in order to bring in the waist and give it a polished look. Don't be afraid to mix floral patterns in order to fashion a look that is superb for the springtime. Finding patterns that have a similar color scheme will create a more cohesive look. I have taken the cohesion one step further by combining accessories that incorporate the mutual color between these two patterns.
With this look, I am also previewing a pair of handmade Appliqué Polymer Clay Post Earrings made by Blissful Bird Studio. They are part of a beautiful collection that will launch sometime this summer. 

If you are joining my blog for the first time, Welcome! Please note the "Thrifty Three Key" on the right. It will give you some insight on the lingo I use throughout my posts each week. Be sure to visit next week, as I will feature yet another item that will use my 2WBT1 label. 

Stay lovely,

This week's post will be short and sweet, and will hopefully leave you with some inspiration and style adornment. 2WBT1: Tutu Mini A tutu mini is a great item in which to recognize versatility.

Wear it as a skirt: With this, I wanted to create a style that was perfect for a night out on the town.  To generate a look that adds a bit of liveliness and a ...

Fancy Feet: Post 1.

Hello Friends of Fashion! It has been far too long. Hope you all have enjoyed these past few weeks and have been able to add summer enhancements to your closets without breaking the bank. For me, this past month has been filled with summer events that have kept me away for a while. Unfortunately, plans for a busy August will most likely continue to keep me away. However, it will be an excellent month filled with party planning, weddings, and concerts. As I may be MIA for most of the upcoming month, I felt I should leave you with a taste of what is to come later this year... This post is a preview for those of you who are, what I like to call, "Shoe-a-holics." ;) Sometimes, I find shoes at thrift stores that seem as though they just need a splash of personal adornment. Other times, shoes that I already own begin to seem repetitive and just need a bit of upgrading. Often times, I simply crave a shoe that offers a unique style and a touch of personality. Being a lover of c...
