So I'm sitting at home thinking about this great skirt I thrifted ages ago. It's a little too big and quite blah on my body. I put it on and was trying to decide how I was going to fix it. Chop it? Take it in? As you may already know, what I want to do and actually get around to doing are two different animals. Instead, I fashioned it into a top! Do you like it?
I'm not even sure this qualifies as a DIY. There's no sewing, pinning, painting, etc. involved. I placed the skirt over my head. Put on a vest and shaped the skirt up with my hands. Voila!
UPDATE: I demo'd how I did it on my vlog! Check it out.

This is amazing! Love it! I still don't know how you did it even though you explained how simple it was! How did you make the sleeves?!
Talk about thinking outside the box!!!! Great idea, and looks even greater on...........
Oh wow, that's neat idea! I would never know that shirt is really a skirt. It's a wonder how versatile clothes are these days.
You are so stinking creative. It looks awesome- the folds and fit look very high fashion :)
Love it, you are so creative. And I like the folds in the arms!
I'll try to demo it when my nose destuffs and stops running. :) The "sleeves" are just the skirt separated by the vest....and that expianation probably doesn't help....
Thanks Carla!
