Red Velvet Skirt

I made this skirt myself! Yeay me and my nimble fingers (that's what SHE said hahahahaha)! Instead of forking over 200+ euros for this pretty Le Mont St. Michel skirt I had fallen in love with (haha @ me talking like buying a 200 euro skirt would be an option for me in ANY universe) I just waited until Think Twice was having their monthly sales again and bought one of their hideous velvet confections for 2 euro to cut up and sew together my own version. I spent a hundred times less, eat that capitalism! Way easy too btw, I just cut off the bottom of a dress, folded over the top, sewed it in place and pulled an elastic band through it (this girl explains it clearly and did it way more neatly than me) et voila: a velvet mini skirt! I love it to bits. This entire outfit is made of win and made me believe in my teal hair again <3

Thanks to superpretty and supersweet Elien for taking these pictures of me! I took some of her as well, hop over to check them (and her gorgeous Boticelli's Venus hair) out!

    Your velvet skirt is darling and even more special because it's handmade! :)

    That velvet mini is SO cute, and way way cheaper, which is awesome. I asked for one for christmas that was about 40, so if I dont end up getting one then I'll just DIY. I absolutely love yours with this cute knit sweater, such a sweet combination and your teal hair looks fabulous with it

    I have this crazy long velvet maxi dress of my mom's that I keep meaning to turn into a shorter dress. The bottom would be perfect to make a skirt like yours, thanks for the inspiration dear!

    Love the velvet skirt diy, I've just been layering shirts/sweaters over a vintage velvet dress to get a similar look. The snowflake sweater is super adorable too, perfect for the holidays.
