Since I haven't shopped for over 2 months, I have decided to use as many inspirational pictures, as possible, which I have been saving over the years. You would be surprised, as to how many of these looks can be created without a single.new.purchase.
I have worn this Maxi Dress for at least 10 times since it purchase in 2008. However, as you might recall it from here that I have worn this maxi in every possible way - a tube dress, with a waist-coat, with a crop-top, with a jacket ... but this time, I wanted to recreate this look I had save couple of weeks back from the INTERMIX adverts. The only issue was that I do not own a flowy maxi-skirt. But since I am stubborn, and you know that from here, I found a way. Voila, I am wearing my Maxi as a high-waist skirt here.
What do you think? How'd I do?
These pictures were taken at the Pearl Brewery at the River Walk
Neatly folded the 'tube-part' down till the waist
and wore it with a tee on top, to give it a flowy-maxi-skirt-look.

You did an amazing job! You are so versatile with your garments. I think you recreated the look perfectly! And you are inspiring me to remix some pieces in my wardrobe instead of making new purchases :) (HOWEVER, I DID finally buy a pair of bright pink trousers... it doesn't fit quite right so I am getting it tailored tomorrow. Can't wait to show you!)
