Happy Thursday Everyone! Today’s post is about my Valentine’s Day outfit… and the pink skirt I made for this occasion! Valentine’s Day is a day away and I like doing something different each time, something out of the ordinary. This year rather than go shopping for a sexy dress or the classic black dress, I decided to make my own skirt! I wanted it to be fun & bright to make a statement. I recently took a stitching class to learn how to make pants. I learned the basics and it inspired me to make my own outfit for Valentine’s Day. So here’s the skirt & how I styled it:
I wore a sparkly black top from Express to go with it and kept it simple on the bottom with the classic black heels from Christian Louboutin. This is the day look I am shooting for on Saturday but at night, the watch will come off & I’ll grab my evening clutch!
then there’s the wind…

That’s such an adorable skirt! <3 Awesome that you made it yourself! I really want to try making my own clothes again someday! (I took a sewing class in 5th grade and made a skirt and a pair of shorts, but uh…it's been a while. 😛 )
