New skirts

October 12, 2011

Here are a few new skirts I made this past weekend and how I styled them for work.

I haven’t been sewing too much lately (or fashion blogging, obviously).  I have just been too busy with work, working out, and raising my kids.  Life just is so busy these days.  It seems to be slipping away.  This weekend we are going to my hubby’s 20th class reunion.  Twenty.  Next year will be my turn.

Wow…hard to believe we have been out of high school for so long.

I wanted a maxi skirt, but I cut this one too short.  I think it will look great with a tank top and sandals once summer comes around again, though.

The color is closer to the inside picture.  I did wear a black cardigan this day, too.  It was warm for October, but the office is always too cool for me.

Then here is a blue pinstripe skirt that I made.  I really wanted a navy skirt to go with a new pair of booties I bought.  It was a bit too warm for those booties, so when it cools down I will wear them with this skirt.

This is my favorite style of skirt, since I make them so the waist is two layers of lycra fabric.  It holds your tummy in nice and tight! 🙂
