While cleaning out my closet on the weekend, I came across this skirt, or should I say tank... yes ladies, that's right, tank top. It was a long, stretch cotton tank that I purchased over a year ago and never wore. I loved it, it just didn't love me. It was semi-baggy, but in the wrong places, frankly, just unflattering. I was about to chuck it when I decided to be experimental. I chopped off the top part of the tank by cutting a line straight across the shirt, directly under the arm pits. Voila! Instant skirt! It's actually pretty awesome and I rocked it immediately.
Secondly, do I look tanned? That could be because when I took these photos I had just come from getting a spray tan. So in reality, I shouldn't really look tanned because it takes 6-8 hours for the tan to show up... but I got a (spray) tan a few days earlier, so, I already had colour. I was also wearing my (signature) beige (large) fishnets too but those are no good to put back on after getting a spray tan... unless you want diamond markings all over your legs in 6-8 hours.
Lastly, see the dust on my shoes? No? Well you will when you see the last picture. That's from work. The carpets, I swear, do they vacume those things?! Whenever I wear any leather or shiny shoes they get covered in dust. Not a huge deal... except for when you forget to wipe them off and go to take pictures for your blog and they look all dusty... right...

I would have never guessed that used to be a shirt! Very creative.
Work it A! I love that you like to experiment with clothing and do unconventional things. :) The tank looks amazing as a skirt.
And you do look like you've got a little color. Can you believe I used to spray tan! LOL. Crazy right. Ok ok, I did it once (okay, three times!)... my girlfriend convinced me to do it, but I got so many compliments and of course it looked "natural" on me. Too bad it's too pricy here, about $65 per session.
Spray tans def beat baking your skin in the sun for hours... :)

I love how you repurposed the top as a skirt. You'd never know unless you told someone. Genius!
The outfit is so cute. I love the bracelet!
can i please have legs like yours!?
You are so creative! I'm definately going to try that with a tank that has been sitting around. I LOVE this outtfit- a little nautical. I would've never thought to pair the brown belt and brown shoes but it looks FAB!!!
You are so clever- what a fantastic way to re-wear a tank! I am also very jealous as you ARE looking tan...I am a ghost right now :)...

Nice job with the skirt! It looks great!
That's such a cute idea for reinventing the tank! What a lucky piece to be saved ;) hehe Perfect with tights for the winter and imagine the possibilities in the summer! :)
