Black tee, Mossimo from TargetSkirt, refashioned thrift shop find
Necklace, Bijou Brigitte
Shoes, Dansko
Wow! I'm learing all sorts of things from this Self-Stitched September exercise! Note to self: Break your Wardrobe Refashion vow and BUY NEW BLACK TEES! Or wait...I guess I could try dying them. Maybe?
Anyway, today I went with a refashioned garment. Trust me on this--the embroidered skirt started out so much larger, I basically just used it as yardage. I went looking for it elsewhere on this blog, but it turns out I made it waaaay back in 2007, pre-blog!

It's not showing up too well on my monitor, but some of that embroidery is green, hence the green beads. I like how shiny and graphic, almost cartoony, they are. .jpg)
And today at work, a little girl, maybe five years old, told me she liked them. What's that say about my style? hehe

Back in the day (when I was all punk rock), I regularly dyed my black clothing together to freshen them up. It was nice having blacks that matched.
Wow, another beautiful skirt! I'm so into skirts lately.

I have a faded black skirt. Never even thought of over dying it to make it darker! Hmm...
Great skirt! I like the necklace too, but then a child brought me some Mardi Gras beads once and I like the way they looked with a dress and wore them for a long time.
I have a faded pair of black jeans and several pairs of black pants and some t-shirts. Think I need to look on the RIT aisle.

Love the skirt! I had a similar experience with a thrifted skirt - was just going to "take it in a little" but by the time I'd unpicked the seams, pleats, etc there was almost enough fabric for two skirts.
