I have two dresses that Ionly worn like twice with a cardigan because it is too revealing. The magenta color dress is very opretty but it has a very low neckline. I really love the bottom part of it but since it has a revelaing cleavage, I can't really enjoy it. For a flat chested like me, this kind of dress is not sexy lol.
The second one is also gorgeous but it has the same problem as the first one. I fot this as a prize on a contest. Sp to make it work, I thought of making it into skirts. It was easy turning them into skirts. All I needed was an inch size garter for the wasteline and voila, I have two skirts to wear this summer.
Okay, I am trying to find tops that would look good with these skirts. Tell me your ooinion, you can be as honest as possible with it. You can also give me your suggestion on what would look good. The first one pairing wuld still work for Spring since it is still cold here in our neck of the woods.
I have this floral print bloue that I bought when I was still in the Philippines and thought it would look nice. Do you think, it would look alright with a red shoes?II am not sure if green works with his magenta color but I would like to try anyways. I wish that my Blowfish shoes fits, it is an inch longer than my feet!
Okay, here is the second skirt. I think the blue top would look alright. I can't really wear it with out a cardigan because this is the kind of top that is short, half-tee as they call it.
How about this mustrard color top, would this look alright with the skirt?
Okay, for a more relaxed pair, another blue top and a red flats.
I am not good with fashion, in fact my fashion style is (out of style?) lol. So your honest opinion will matter. I am more on comfort than style but sometimes, it wouldn't hurt a 42 year old Momma to wear stylish outfits right? Come on, speak up your mind. Thank you!
I remember doing this when I was a kid, but haven't really done it in a while. I am always cold and 99% of my dresses are strapless or have spaghetti straps, so I usually have a cardigan on anyways that covers the top.
ReplyDeleteI used to do that when I was in high school. It's a great way to make something new out of an existing outfit. You look GREAT, by the way!
ReplyDeletei love how you can wear the same skirts into different tops...very fashionable.
ReplyDeleteI love that you did this. They are so pretty!! My favorite is the blue top and red shoes with the more abstract skirt. And I preferred the floral print blouse with the burgundy skirt.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how creative you are, those skirts are too cute and it was a great idea. I love each of the tops with the skirts, you could mix and match for a new look each time.
ReplyDeleteOh totally! By doing this, you could have practically endless outfit possibilities. And I like the idea of always wearing something new :)
DeleteHow lovely! I loved doing this on my teen years when u wore dresses and skirts! Very creative and fun. Great way to Spruce Up outfits!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the striped skirt. You can definitely dress it up or down and the colors are great for Spring and Summer.

My favorite is the blue top and red flats! They are all cute looks, but for some reason I love that blue top. The colors look really good on you.
ReplyDeleteI think they look great as skirts. I like the colors on the second one with the flats.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I a travel to a locale and I am limited in my luggage space I do that trick too. I convert my dress into a skirt by simply pulling it down! No one ever suspects! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you are really talented at matching colors and styles!? lol I love all three of the top options with the magenta skirt and really think the blue shirt with the mustard is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThese skirts look great! I love how you made the dress into a skirt! Such a great idea that you had!
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea. I would have never thought of doing this, you are very creative!
ReplyDeleteOmg such a cute look!!! When I lived in FL I use to do this all the time. It would be hot all day but at night I would throw on a sweater and it was like a whole new outfit!
ReplyDeleteHello mommy rose!!!! long time no hop! hehehe...i am not fashionable either...for me all outfit looks fine except in that magenta skirt with red wedge shoes and floral top..feeling ko something is wrong..hahaha...anyway whatever feels you comfortable go lang...
ReplyDeleteI love the printed skirt. It really looks good when paired with a blue top.
ReplyDeleteI like the flower shirt for the first skirt. And the blue shirt for the second skirt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! Definitely want to try it with the dresses that are too short for me now.
ReplyDeleteNo comment!!! I know nothing about what's your talking about but I do know how to appreciate good dressing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea! I love how you transformed the dresses into skirts to make them more versatile and modest. I love them both, but on you I think the bottom is my favorite with the gray sweater :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant and clever idea!! I think you did a great job matching them with tops!
ReplyDeleteYour really good in mixing and matching outfits. These would really be fashionable combinations.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the floral top with the magenta skirt, but I would go with those grey heels you have in the pic with the green shirt/magenta skirt. Check out our post about pattern mixing, it gives some awesome tips to help you decide what pairs well together! Love that you are daring enough to mix things up!! Very beautiful too!

Those are amazing outfits. I love the blue color skirt and shirt. You look amazing
ReplyDeleteI love doing this with my dresses, it makes for such fun outfit combinations. I love how the first skirt looks with the floral blouse, I would definitely wear it like that.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great way to recycle the dresses you do not wear any more. I will have to check my closet to see if i have some dresses i can convert.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun photo shoot. :) The outfits look great. I love how versatile that first one is, great job w/the intro. to the clothes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea ...so clever! I always like to see fashion and admire anyone that can sew!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of turning a dress into a skirt. There are some dresses I have from being pregnant that just don't fit anymore.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the last look. I think you wore that one best.
ReplyDeleteYou did such a fabulous job on these. I wish I could DIY my own clothes too :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I don't have those kinds of skills. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI love the skirts. I often do the same thing with dresses. As for what looks good together, my styles sense is awful so I can't really comment on that . But you look great in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI think you look great. I have thought about doing this before but I never have the right top for the bottom. It is an awesome idea though. Sometimes I just like the bottom part of a dress and not the top ya know lol.
