may 23rd {revived}

old navy camp shirt   ·   handmade (by me) skirt

dexter kylie wedges

i made this skirt last august, but despite my desire back then to wear it again soon with a different color scheme, it took nearly nine months for it to be worn again due to a silly sewing issue.  i used fusible hem tape when i made it but applied it wrong and the hem came out after one wash, and it took until this week for me to repair it.  i guess that is a clear indication of how much sewing i did over the winter--sad.  but now that this skirt has been revived, i feel like i have a brand new skirt in my collection and yes, if the hem doesn't fail me again i do hope to wear it with a different colored top--and belt too, for that matter!

tuesday {predictable}

united colors of benneton button-down {thrifted}   ·    handmade (by me) skirt
merona mari pumps {thrifted target stock}  ·   forever 21 necklace

predictable / i have a one track mind when putting together outfits sometimes.  i tried to force myself not to wear my cognac leather belt and heels of the same shade (a la this outfit) and wear a different colored belt and different shoes but it was not happening today.  i'm not sure whether or not to apologize for wearing the same silhouette over & over or to feel comfortable with the fact that i've found a formula that appeals to me aesthetically.  do you ever have to force yourself to be creative {i definitely have it in me!} so you don't feel so predictable? 

i whipped up this skirt over the weekend, it came together so fast and i'm really looking forward to wearing it again sometime soon with a different color scheme.  thanks for visiting!
