Day Eight - Pretty in Pink

Quite an odd little outfit... I would probably end up on some magazine's worst dressed list today if I was famous, but I'm not, so thankfully that's one thing I don't need to worry about!
Brown slouch boots, light blue/grey tights with a rose pattern on them, my nude pink top and bolero cardy, AND today the skirt I sewed's first-ever outing!

Here is a closer view...

You'll see it has contrasting panels, with little pockets of the check fabric to tie it together. I'd love to say that I originally intended to have it this way, but I must come clean.

I accidentally cut the skirt out a little small for me. I didn't find this out til I'd sewn the whole thing! Aargh!

After a little thinking I bought matching navy blue material and redid one of the panels to make to fit. So the first version of the skirt was made early winter but it is only now she gets her first outing as I have just fixed it.

Well to be even more honest, it's is probably only this challenge that is making me wear it. I wasn't confident about how it looked so it would have sat in my wardrobe forever had it not been for me "having to" wear all my clothes. And I'm glad I wore it, because now I quite like it.

So this week I am going to make my 'crafty' week and wear what I've sewn!
