nice shirt



Hi guys!

"Nice shirt!" was what some fellow students said to me today. And I said: "Thank you, it's actually a skirt." And everyone was like "Whaaaat?"
Haha, it's so funny. I thought that wearing a skirt as a shirt or dress would be commonly known, but everywhere I go there are people wondering about this strange way of channeling bottoms into tops (or other way round).


skirt worn as top: ebay, belt + boots: vintage, cardi: thrifted, jeans: zara, necklace: claire's






It was the same when I wore a floral maxi skirt as a dress some weeks ago. I went to a birthday party like that and all my friends complimented me for always wearing cute dresses. They were totally astonished when I told them that it actually was a granny skirt that I bought on Ebay for 1 Euro!









My best friend said it would be a great thing to convert clothes like that. She didn't think of wearing a skirt as a top before, but that she sometimes saw pretty maxi skirts and didn't buy them because she just doesn't like maxi skirts. And it's also a matter of what suits you and what does not. I know that I look ridiculous in maxi skirts because they make me look even shorter than I am, but I can wear knee-length dresses, so why not pull the skirt up and belt it? :)

Did you have similar experiences with telling people your shirt is a skirt?

  4. Oh that skirt is beautiful as a top. I'm always pretty safe and wear clothes as what they are supposed to be for the most part ha, but I guess I will look at maxi skirts differently from now on! (They also make me look stumpy, I'm only 5'1")

  9. I do this all the time, especially with beach wear. I find that even at 40, and yes I said forty, that short and flowing is a good look for me, I still have good legs.
    I wanted to stop by and thank you for following me, I hope you find a little bit of sunshine amongst the pages of my blog!
    Mwah, now turn, and another on the other!
