What I'm Wearing: Mint Skirt made by me // Floral Blouse refashioned by me {Christopher & Banks} // Nude Pumps, Earrings, & Chevron Stackable Rings Target // Belt Forever 21
I really wanted to link up to Kristina of Pretty Shiny Sparkly BDIB {Mint + Coral} challenge, except sadly I didn't have any mint clothing - at first that is. I did have this mint fabric in my stash that I've been wanting to turn into a skirt for years {it takes a deadline to get me to sew the skirt}. Of course, to be in time for the challenge I sewed this mint skirt up just this afternoon. Then of course, the coral shirts I did have washed out the mint skirt too much. Enter a blouse my sister gave me last night. It has coral & pink flowers all over it, plus it doesn't wash out the mint skirt. Only one problem. I didn't like the sleeves or the fit of the blouse. I quickly chopped off the sleeves, removed the tabs that were on the sides, and took in the sides a bit. Finally, an outfit perfect for the challenge.
Would you wear coral & mint together?
p.s. The reason I have a bandage on my finger is because I gave myself a second-degree burn while frying doughnuts yesterday.

ReplyDelete@Miriam - I used B4461 http://butterick.mccall.com/b4461-products-5546.php?page_id=367/ with changes. I lengthen the skirt pattern & drafted my own waistband for the skirt.
