Couldn't Wait

I’ve worn a dress over jeans, but never a skirt. This morning, I altered* this skirt and eagerly tried it on over my jeans. I was so enamored with the result, that I wore it for the rest of the day.

Cardigan, Mossimo (thrifted). Tee, Forever 21. Skirt, Rafaella (thrifted). Jeans, Dollhouse (overdyed with black dye but it has really faded). Boots, Playhouse.

*My “alterations” consisted of returning the skirt to its original closure points. The previous owner had removed the buttons and added snaps so that the skirt would fit a larger wearer. The snaps were effective, but the reduced wrapping ruined the lines of the skirt.

  1. Love checking your blog for ideas! I really like this look - I've been rocking jeans unders skirts and dresses for years, though in my small town people think it a bit odd. Ha, well I do it anyway! Anywho - think you look fabulous & keep up the good work!

  3. Love the way it looks!! Although, that kilt is the exact same tartan pattern as my old high-school uniform. I'm pretty sure that may have belonged to one of my former classmates who couldn't wait to get rid of it after graduation! ;)

    How fun! I've never been able to figure out the magical formula to wearing jeans under dresses and skirts, but this definite works.

  6. A skirt-jean combo! Wow! It looks good. You are so brave!
    I can not try this combination even in privacy of my closet. I think it is one of my mental hang ups! But here you are, wearing it and it looks good!
    No kitten today?

  10. That looks so good on you. I've always felt too bulky when I've tried that. In general, I don't feel too good in a lot of layers :-(
