How to Wear DIY: Summer-to-winter skirt

Remember this skirt I upcycled late last summer?  It was a thick t-shirt from I'm guessing the 90's.


Now it's a super comfy knit skirt, with elastic waist.  I loved it this summer, but hadn't put it away with the summer clothes--good thing, cuz it made for a cute and winter-comfy outfit when I added substantial tights and several layers on top!

Tee and vest: Old Navy. Necklace: Forever 21. Jacket: Nordstrom Rack.
Boots: Steve Madden via Overstock.com. Skirt: DIY!

The tights make it cozy--so does the vest.  Oh, and boots, the greatest invention winter has ever seen.  I rotate my black, brown, and greige riding boots all fall and winter, with cozy socks and jeans or tights.  Otherwise I would like die.

Oh, and the shirt-to-skirt tutorial?  See it here if you want to try something similar sometime!

**Addition: So excited to be linking this post to Everybody, Everywear!  My first time!  I just saw the call for black and white outfits this month, and had just done this post, so... perfect!  Check out all the black/white outfit inspirations...

  3. The idea of making a t-shirt into a skirt is great... imagine all of the crazy 90's tees that have been abandoned out there!

  8. Layers and tights are the perfect way to take just about anything from one season to a colder one. Such an adorable outfit and I love the bold stripes paired with the jean jacket!
