I absolutely love clothes. I think most of you know this by now. But I also love love love clothes that are passed down from older generations of my family. I love the idea of wearing something that my mom wore when she was my age or something my grandmother wore when she was my age. Some of you know I wore a dress that was my mom's dress to my bridal shower. I love that dress. And one great thing about that dress was that it needed no alterations to fit me or fit my style.
Well, my grandmother recently started going through her closet and gave me a few items out of it. Now, it will take me awhile to go through the items and get them all altered to fit me or get them updated to something that seems more modern, but I wanted to give you a first glance at one item she gave me.
This skirt - I call the jungle skirt - is something I would never pick out for myself if I saw it in a store. But when I put it on, it just felt fun. It was way too big, but still fun. I went and got it altered and taken in a bit, and a zipper added, and now it fits great. It is just a fun long skirt. Definitely not something most girls would have - or maybe even choose to wear - but I love it. I love the pattern, I love the fringe, I just love the memories of times that my grandmother wore the skirt.
So here it is - my jungle skirt -- let me know what you think of my first fashion makeover from my grandmother's closet!
