Turn A Dress Into A Skirt

08.14 pada mama Labels: style

I turned this dress into a skirt for a fun little twist! While the weather is definitely warming up and I am able to show some leg here and there, I am still not able to go sleeveless just yet. I really wanted to wear this dress sooner than later though, so I was trying to come up with some creative ways to make it work now. So I thought, why not make it look like a skirt?

This is actually a drop waist dress. It's super cute and I will definitely wear it by itself at some point. In order for me to transform this into a skirt, I had to pin it up a little bit in the back. I'm wearing the same shirt from yesterday's post and just tucked it under at the bottom. I added on the denim jacket to bring a different element to this look as well as hide the alterations I had to make. It was really simple though and only took a few minutes to do. This drop waist dress quickly turned into a mini flare skirt. In some photos you can see that it's a dress. I paired this outfit with my white flats again because I wanted it to be more casual and daytime appropriate. So there you have it, another way to style a dress! I'm really all about making the most out of my pieces and I am trying my best to get more creative again. I swear the spring and summer months inspire me the most!

A quick side story on this outfit: I wore this over the weekend when it was super sunny and beautiful and I got really pumped to ditch the pants again. However, I stepped outside into a legit wind tunnel and had a dozen Marilyn Monroe moments with this dress. The sunshine had me fooled! I posted a silly video to my snapchat and instagram about it. I had to change, but was able to wear this again yesterday and finally do the shoot. :)
P.S. Thank you to everyone who read yesterday's post and for your amazing feedback. Love you guys! Enjoy the day. <3
