35 in 31 Challenge: Day 4

Day 4: Project 4
The Blue Pencil Skirt
I started this skirt 4 YEARS AGO D: Ugh shame on my severe procrastination!! It was another goodwill find that I knew I could make a really cute bombshell-esque wiggle skirt, so I snatched it up! I'm a little...um... wider? than I was 4 years ago so I had to do some alterations to the hip and the side zipper which made it look like one of those exposed zippers. I didn't like the effect it gave the skirt so I decided to add some lace paneling on the side to A-hide the zipper, and B- make it look 10 times cuter!


 Project 5
The Pink Teeny-Bopper Skirt
I was on a roll after finishing the blue skirt so I decided to finally fix this skirt (also a goodwill find!). I really love this skirt, it reminds me of a totally cliche 50's teeny bopper, so I threw in some faux bangs, ponytail and glasses. To be honest, there really wasn't alot to do to this skirt, just take it in a little bit from the top. I've actually worn this skirt a couples times in the past but always with a hidden safety pin to keep it up. I swear I'm the laziest seamstress in the history of sewing... if you don't believe me just notice how I was too lazy to change my shirt from the last project pic! haha.
