I had sort of a "eureka!" movement as I was pulling out skirts from my closet this morning and pondering how to deal with this pesky and problematic skater crossbones skirt....I'm going to layer it over a skater dress. I was happy when my experiment worked! Yippie!
Problems with the crossbones skirt; slightly too big on me, very short, cotton and clingy, not to mention that fact that the skirt is strangely not cut like a circle. So, over a lace skater dress it went which created a layered effect that I quite enjoy. All those years of layering and styling my neo-Victorian club outfits helped me with this brainstorm!
Need to wash my hair=hat day. Hehe!
Not all problematic pieces can be solved, but when it comes to something that I really like, then I try to work with it. Luckily this skirt made a use for itself as I was going to send it to Madame Guillotine (aka my scissors) to be repurposed into something else. You're lucky skirt, real lucky. *Wink*
Thank you for reading!

That IS cute, what a great idea!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! =D
DeleteAmazing idea! That skirt looks amazing on top of the lacy dress! <3 Great look, love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! I love layering and I have a inverted cross skirt just like your bones skirt. Clingy and way too short. I had no idea how to wear it and if I did wear it I feared the risk of the world seeing my bottom. And I also have a hat just like yours! I think it is Children of the Corn chic.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could give you some inspiration as your skirt sounds too cute not to wear (but I totally understand wanting your bottom covered!). Hahahaha, Children of the Corn chic, I LOVE IT!!!
DeleteHey, Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteThat is one great idea!I think I'm gonna try it sometime!
Thanks!<3
Hello! Thank you! =D
DeleteGreat work! It looks great now! I am so into printed things at the moment, I have a huge wish list!
ReplyDeletePrints are so much fun! Thank you =D
DeleteI love doing this, because I have sooo many lovely little skirts, but I'm far too self conscious to really wear them without layering them, heh.
ReplyDeleteThere are off chances I actually do... but very rarely.
Anyway. I completely love the look!
I totally understand, have to make yourself comfortable :) Thank you!
DeleteLooking great! I really love the print on the bone skirt :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I do too! I have a dress with the crossbones print that needs some help as well. ;)
DeleteI really love this. beautiful great work. I love coming to see what your up to.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! =)
DeleteHaaha, I have this skirt too, and yes it's SUPER short! Good fashion tip Oh Wardrobe Goddess!
ReplyDelete"Wardrobe Goddess"--you're hilarious my dear ;)
DeletePerfect solution! And it makes a fabulous outfit!
ReplyDeleteI often pass up cute skirts because they're too short. I need to keep layering in mind!
Thank you! Layering is a good thing when the portions are on point ;)
