This teal skirt is my first attempt to add some color to my wardrobe. I found it at the thrift store last week for $1.50 but it was a little too long, so I hemmed it.
I have never hemmed a skirt before and I don't think I did a very good job. Maybe ironing it will help get rid of that poofy-ness at the bottom?
What do you think? My husband said "I think it looks like you hemmed it." Nice. Real nice.
I considered leaving it calf length but I felt like I looked like my grandma.
Who am I kidding? My grandma would have never worn polyester.
She had standards.
In other news...while thrifting last week I also bought a vintage Coach purse. I love it and was so happy when I spotted it, but....it smells of smoke. Like it lived-inside-a-casino smoke.
So, this week I am going to try odor eaters and baking soda. Hopefully one of them helps to rid my new, adorable bag of this awful smell.

I like your new skirt:)
ReplyDeleteI would try hanging it outside to air out and also I've put dryer sheets in a bag that smelled and it helped a lot.
