Upcycled Outfit

Sometimes you just need a little change. 

I frequently become tired of certain pieces or find that they haven't reached their full potential in their current form, and that is when I turn to scissors.  I discovered this when I was about two, chopping off my own hair (bad idea), but quickly translated into fragmenting my clothes when I wanted a new look (mediocre to wonderful idea, depending on the circumstance).  So, with this look, I went to my closet and decided to upcycle one of my own pieces, a summer dress, into a breezy skirt for spring.  Paired with my lovely neutral flats and a chiffon blouse, my "new" skirt was a perfect piece for today (and basically free!).

I must admit that I've been a little jealous lately of my husband's array of flannel shirts.  So for this outfit post, I committed "Culture Theft" and borrowed one from his closet.  In my defense, it was economical, environmentally friendly, and I'll give it back... right?

Happy Saturday everyone!  Here's just a quick look of an outfit that I wore on the trip to New York, for a wedding rehearsal dinner.
