Colette Meringue (kinda): The Pretty Places Skirt
Wow, I’m absolutely flabbergasted – 14 people looked at my blog today! Good times! No, I’m serious, that’s awesome.
And can I just admit something? Keeping up with this blog has been a major pain in the petunia. Geez Louise! How do people do this every single day? I’m seriously impressed. Every now and then I think about giving up the blog and just posting to my Burdastyle page. Well, we’ll see…
Anyway, on with the show:
How I prefer to wear this skirt – with a white top and heels! Maybe I should add a belt in the future? This skirt looks better in person, I promise! It’s all wrinkly after a day at the office…
I’m going to stop apologizing for the Stinky Pete quality of these photos…one day. I feel like I always need to let you know that I realize they’re not so great, but it’s either I get a photo of my creation so I can actually share it with you or wait weeks on end for me to find the time and energy to go somewhere interesting for my photos. Sheesh, I sound like such a stinker. I’m in bloomin’ New York City for crying out loud! So many opportunities abound…
Tangent aside, I actually finished this skirt just before Memorial Day weekend (that’s the end of May for folks outside the U.S.). You will probably not recognize it all – it’s the Meringue Skirt from the Colette Sewing Handbook! Yes, you’re correct, a heavily modified version at that.
