Style Steal

* Skirt - Ebay * Blazer - Forever 21 * Belt - Forever 21 * Sandals - Ralph Lauren *
 
I purchased this skirt (worn as a dress) during my floral phase and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to wear it.  Last week I had an aaahhh moment when I saw NeShanta of Stylish She wearing a pleated skirt as a dress! Good idea right, so I decided to be a total copy cat and finally bring out this floral beauty. This is one reason I love blogging and blogs, inspiration is all over the place.  

A major crisis has been averted this skirt lives to see another day and avoids the Goodwill pile.

What a great idea!  A skirt as a dress...nice way to take full advantage of the wardrobe and up the ante with more options.  Love it!

p.s.  I wanted to do some style on my blog but I'm too scared.  That was the plan but..it just too nerve racking.  maybe one day I'll get the courage..LOL

What a great skirt/dress!  I love that about blogging--you get so inspired by others.  I know that before blogging I would have never thought to do this and it totally works!

Girl you sound like me...I always say to myself I love blogging for all the great ideas!  This right here is just as fantastic as the backwards cardi.  Way to finish it off with the blazer!

I have so many skirts like this that I've thrifted over the years that look HORRIBLE styled as skirts, but are FIYAH worn as dresses. Seeing this post today just saved a few of those from my Goodwill pile as well...LOL
