I feel a little 1940ish in this skirt. I remind myself of Elvis when I turn up the collar. Don't ask why. My shoes take me back to the 1920s. And my necklace reminds me of my bestest friend. All this added together equals a outfit (okay, I really don't like that word. Substitutes, anyone?) that I can't help liking.

Cheap I am.
Trying to be cool.
Fail.
I've been thinking... This skirt is really washed out, and I don't look good in blue. Should I dye it? I was thinking something like brown. Anyone had any experience with dyeing faded clothes? I love the skirt's make, but it's starting to not look presentable.

Love the shades! Yeah I know what you mean about faded skirts - have a bunch and I can't part with them because they're so comfortable, but they're shockingly washed out. I've never tried dyeing, though I am seriously considering taking out all the seems and using it as a pattern to make more skirts.
ReplyDeleteThat skirt has a history. My skirt that's my equivalent of that, is quite faded too, and I've given up on it. It never suited me anyway. And now it just looks silly on me. Too short and all that.
ReplyDeleteI Love the Elvis pose :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog! I love your *cool* poses! :)
