I am really bad at structured blogging, that being said, I am linking up with Andi and Inge for the conclusion of Skirt Week!
Andi hosts a "theme" week once a month, where she wears a featured item every day of the week. I think this is an awesome way to "wear out your closet." As awesome as I think it is, I almost always miss it! So, happy to participate today.

I am officially labeling this as "fall fashion." (Btw- all most of my outfit posts are now labeled by season. Check it out: Fall // Winter // Spring // Summer.) I think we can all agree this is pretty exciting! I pulled my beloved black booties down from storage at the beginning of this week, and the most terrifying thing happened: as I was pulling them on, a GIANT spider fell out of one. I wouldn't consider myself overtly terrified of spiders (rodents are more the bane of my existence) but it freaked me right out. Then I got to chase the spider around my room and smash it with the bootie. I imagine that's what it would feel like if one day the house you lived in fell on top of you.
Don't look too closely at this skirt that I cut from this dress (R.I.P. That's "rest in peace" not "my skirt looks like it's ripped.") Note in that post I said, "I think this dress will work better as a skirt" and it totally has! I love the print, but as a dress it was a bit too small. Surprisingly it made for a skirt that is the perfect length.
Thanks to Mallory for taking these quick, iPhone, VSCOCam edited pics for me!
I am cruising through a lengthy to-do list today before I babysit tonight, and head off for a quick, last-minute road-trip to see my brother Sundar, who will be flying to Chattanooga this weekend! I am so excited to see him, and I know it will be a wonderful spur-the-moment Fall trip. Hope you all have a beautiful weekend, thanks for reading!!
Oh, and be sure and check out Andi's Skirt Week link-up, here.

thanks for linking up! I love this skirt! And I'm so scared of spiders camping out in shoes - any time I wear a pair that has been on the shelf for awhile, I bang on it quite a bit before sticking my toes in. I blame one of those educational videos that they showed us in 5th grade about black widow spiders, because there was a "reenactment" of a guy who put on his work boots and then DIED. So I'm extra paranoid. Even though I don't think we have poisonous spiders in Nebraska. Anyway, I would have freaked out, too!
Love your skirt! The floral print is so pretty! I have a dress that would be better as a skirt...hmmm.

A lovely look- also, I'm very impressed you went back and labelled all the outfits. Lovely!
That dress-turned skirt is gorgeous! ! The floral pattern is just perfect with the background color and the size of the flowers. Great idea to turn it into a skirt! As for the frayed edges, can you roll the elastic inward and then sew it in place? That might help hide it a bit :)
ok- your story has now terrified me! I'll be waaaay careful now. thanks for hosting the link-up!
girlfriend, go for it! cut that up!!
Ha, I suppose I *could* though I am not a seamstress, not even a little bit. I always beg my mom to help with stuff like that. That's exactly what I need, though!
