For the past few days the weather has been pretty dreary and it's looking less like the "sunshine state" and more like the rainy state. I can't complain too much though we need the rain. Lance's tomato's could use the extra rain too.
Since its been so gloomy outside I thought I would brighten things up a bit with today's refashion. It kinda reminded me of a luau. The print is loud and bright maybe a little too bright for my usual toned down taste, but it was the perfect floral pattern for a rainy day.
Have you ever had a piece of clothing you couldn't bare getting rid of, but refuse to wear? Well for me this rarely happens, however I had a skirt that was gifted to me about a year ago and for a year it hung in my closet unworn. For some reason I couldn't convince myself enough to get rid of it. I wasn't wearing it, had no plans on ever wearing it, but there it hung all sad and alone. The pattern is loud and frankly a bit obnoxious so what better reason to get rid of it right? Well the other day while I was on pinterest looking for inspiration for future refashions I came across this great tutorial. It was the perfect "how to" refashion for a discarded skirt.
Here's the link:
I immediately went to my closet and dug out that skirt and TA DA!! Here is what it looked like. I know I should have gotten rid of it long long ago, but now it will be put to some good use :)
See what I mean about the luau and not the good kind either! lol
I did do a few minor adjustments to the blouse that are different than the tutorial. Instead of overlapping the arms I took them in so it would give it clean lines. Just my personal preference.

I have to say not bad for a skirt that would otherwise be still hanging in my closet! I most definelty will be making more of these in the future. The style is is great and very flowy and the pattern isn't so bad afterall.
On the bright side of having so much rain look how green my grass is! I kinda blend in with it ;)
