Day 12- I dream of jeans

While I like to be warm, I look forward to cooler weather in the way of Fall.  For me Fall equals jeans and sweaters or sweatshirts....what I'm the most comfortable in.

Today's challenge was to dress up my jeans.
(YAY)
I'm not sure if skinny jeans are still in, but they are still in my closet and I plan on wearing them.

Jacket: CK; Top: JCP; Jeans: Levi's; Necklace: Maurices; Bracelet: local store;
Shoes: Ross; Belt: Ross

Day 6- Think outside the box

It is now day 6 of the 21 day challenge (15 days to go!).  So far I 've been having a lot of fun with the challenges and have picked up some really good ideas from fellow bloggers.

For today's challenge we were asked to think outside the box and wear something in an unconventional way. Wear a skirt as a dress or a shirt, a necklace as a bracelet, etc.

So I started thinking....I've seen these great ideas to make men's dress shirts into skirts.  I've also had a shirt lying around that doesn't fit my husband and have been contemplating using it to make a skirt like this:

or maybe like this:

But I didn't have time for that today.  However, I've also seen the idea to simply tie the said shirt around your waist to make a skirt, like this:

And that is what I did.  So I started with this:


And ended up with this:

Denim jacket: DKNY from Goodwill, Tank: JcPenney's from 6 years ago, Shirt: Geoffrey Beene

Not too shabby! I don't honestly think I would wear this again, but I also don't think I ever would've tied one of my hubby's old shirts around my waist without this challenge either.

Now I'm off to actually go make this shirt into a skirt!
Have a good day!
