top- thrifted / skirt- thrifted / tights- my grandma's / scarf- made by me / shoes- target / necklace you can't see - gift from  my sister

I officially dubbed this the "autumn" skirt because "floral/paisley" looks weird, and the print and color pallet basically scream HELLOIAMCHANGINGLEAVES. I thrifted this baby about two years ago, and it's been sitting...and sitting...and sitting, just waiting to be altered. It has an elastic back and no pockets, so all I had to do was take in the sides a bit to bring up the waist, and made it a little shorter. I might still take it up an inch or so, but either way I'm lovin' the newest member of my closet! Dreaming up so many fun fall/winter combos to wear with this thing! 

Oh, and don't mind the tripod shadow or cars in the background. Whatever. 

ANYWAY. I hope you're having an amazing day! I'm off to practice my skirt twirls and camera jumps. 

Foreword.

I picked this up on a thrift run a few days ago while questing for the Perfect Vintage Book to turn into an art journal. DON'TFREAKOUT this beauty's not going anywhere...I flipped through the pages and um, there are projects in here that I would LOVE to do. Like tie-dye, accordion picture books, paper lanterns, silhouette portraits, wooden looms...this is a children's book.  Maybe that makes me a crazy twelve year old in 1952, but I can live with that. My absolute favorite part though, was the foreword by the author. AMEN.
