"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,

Weekend "T" for three.

Hello Fans of Fashion!    As spring nears its end and the weekend approaches, I am eager to post this week's 2WBT1 item. Using your creativity with basic items is an excellent way to expand the possibilities for your inner fashionista.  Two weeks ago, I featured a fabulous navy, mini skirt.    The most fabulous thing about this mini skirt is that it isn't really a skirt at all. This item is actually a very versatile T-shirt dress. T-shirt dresses are splendid for the buyer on a budget. They are quite easy to find at a great price and are extremely functional.     As a lady who loves fashion and tends to overbook my spring Saturdays, I thought it best to show you three great ways to wear your T-shirt dress on a busy and sunny weekend day.  Wear it as a skirt: Saturday Morning Outing With this look, I chose to wear my T-shirt dress as a mini skirt. To create a look that is both cute and comfortable...

Seasons come and go, but fashion is forever.

Hello Fans of Fashion, Hope all is well in the world of dress-up. For my first fashion post, I was inspired by my 2WBT1  label. However, with the item I chose, I couldn't stop at only two. Blazers are the perfect piece to use year round and are generally fairly easy to find secondhand if you don't already own one. My mustard, sweater blazer is one of my favorite items in my closet and the possibilites for it are endless. Because blazers are such a versatile item, I have decided to show you ways that you can incorporate yours into your look all year long. This week, 4WBT1 because a blazer is the most stellar way to celebrate each of the four seasons. Spring: Spring is a great time to pull out a mini, but wearing one can leave you feeling chilly in breezy weather. Adding a blazer, allows you to bring out the "sunny weather" items you have been waiting to wear all winter long, while maintaining your warmth on those windy, spring days. With this look, I am w...

If you are looking for ways to reuse and adorn these pieces, this series is for you. Dress it up. Dress it down. At the office. On the town. Here are 4 ways to wear your denim.
