What a complicated title. In case you haven't noticed, I try to be creative with my lookbook titles, and sometimes my creativity gets the best of me when I think a bit too out of the box (unless you totally see what I was going for with this title).
I was mixing "maxi" with "I.D." with "diy" since this outfit post is all about my latest D.I.Y. endeavors where I turned a crappy maxi dress into a flowy maxi skirt. I mean, the dress was so ill-fitting...I couldn't get over it. I had to cut off the top half and mess with the elastic to make it wearable. This is my maxi I.D.

Wearing:
♥ Foreign Exchange top (last seen in Little Lace Riding Hood) ♥ eBay maxi skirt (formerly a dress) ♥ F21 leather jacket ♥ Elie Tahari flats ♥ Juicy Couture bag
These were taken after an early dinner at Naglee Park Garage where I ate some yummy bread pudding dessert that you might have seen on my Instagram. Then we headed over to Santana Row for drinks and a movie. I saw Cosmopolis starring Robert Pattinson. It was one of the worst movies ever. I was going to walk out of it and go buy a sweater at H&M, but it was already closed. Now all I can think about is how Robert Pattinson stole two hours of my life and a comfy sweater.
What do you think of this look?

I love how you remade the skirt - it looks really beautiful. And that sucks about the movie, I hate it when I pay to see crappy films.

You are pretty talented with a pair of scissors and elastic! Cant believe this used to be a dress once, it looks fantastic as a skirt, such a good idea to transform it! You look beautiful hun!
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
ReplyDeleteI always love your style and you look gorgeous as always!!

Oh noes! I was actually kinda excited about Cosmopolis:( So sad to hear it sucked! Sigh...I might still see it though just coz I love Rob.

Cool necklace. And yeah the colour of the skirt is amazing! I have a scarf that colour that I wear a little too much... It's like a highlighter!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I love this outfit, and that jacket with it is pure perfection. LOVE.

Lovely! Great jacket and skirt!
ReplyDeleteOnly you could turn crap into bohemian awesome!! :)) Love it! :))
ReplyDeleteLove the bright pop of color with a rocker chic leather bomber. Great job on the DIY. I might have to do that with one of my ill-fitting dresses too. Tks for inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteYour DIY effort was worth the trouble because your former maxi dress looks great as a maxi skirt. What a bummer about the movie and sweater!
ReplyDeleteLove this! the skirt is perfect and great pop of color :)
