I got a chance to hang out with my partner in crime, my ace, my Sister From Another Mister, Reiko aka God's Favorite Shoes this weekend which wasn't really enough time for all of our hijinks and we took NO photos together *insert sad face* so there's no evidence of us even being together except for random Facebook posts and tweets. But we did go to her our family reunion and bonded over raiding my closet.
Remember this crop top? Well I found the skirt to it recently at the thrift store and showed it to Reiko. The skirt was waaaaaayyyyy too small but I figured I could do something with the fabric. Reiko looked at it and immediately said, "Wear it as a top. With a belt." I don't know what her standardized test scores were but I'm pretty sure this girl's a genius.
So I did.
I pinned the skirt-as-top and added this elephant belt and paired it with some cutoffs. I KNOW! I'm officially a shorts wearer. Stop asking yourself "WHEN is she gonna stop taking pics on her balcony?" It's really Hades hot outside and I just can't muster up the strength to take my setup to a more appealing location in this heat. I'll do better, I promise!

Dang nabbed that outfit is cute!!!! It's so cute, I think it made me mad. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou two are soooo funntie! You can take pictures anywhere when you look so fliii and can turn a skirt into a top effortlessly. Just gotta warn you I'm cheering those shorts on since I'm a new shorts lover/wearer myself.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine this skirt worn any other way. It looks awesome! There must be something in the air this, because I've been wearing shorts a lot, too! Actually, I've probably worn shorts more this year than the last 15 years COMBINED!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is SUPER cute...Love it.
