Another one of my stellar thrift finds from Wednesday's excursions. Flowered patterns never really interested me until this year, and the antique-couch-cover feeling of this print is absolutely perfect. To make it even better, it buttons all the way down the front and has pockets!
I made this tank out of a men's tee that was enormous on me, and am extremely satisfied with it.

I was fiddling around with the skirt on Thursday night and I came up with this.
This clutch is my all time favorite bag. I have no idea where it came from, but it has the most gorgeous bright orange silk lining. Sadly, I rarely get to use it because it doesn't fit very much and I tend to carry a million things with me.

On an unrelated note, I picked up my first ever copy of Nylon yesterday and it was spectacular. Must subscribe!
MY JEOPARDY AUDITION IS TODAY AT THREE P.M. AND I AM FREAKING OUT. WISH ME LUCK!

haha, it's great. i like the roses as top and as skirt both!
lovely!
Haha, that's an awesome idea! :D I love both outfits, especially the first one. Good luck with your Jeopardy audition, I can't wait to hear all about it!
Are you taking the online audition or the actual interveiw? After I made it past the online test, I was freaking out about the meeting. Basically all they make you do is take a test, play a mock jeopardy! game, and answer questions about yourself (what will you do with the money, what do you do for fun, etc.) My advice: smile, be outgoing, be different, be lovable, and get the questions right.
Good Luck
good luck, that's crazy awesome
amazing skirt!
Love the 90's floral, good luck with jeoprady!!!

That's definitely a stellar thrift find! I've seemed to taken a liking to antique-couch-cover florals too. Love how you made it into a shirt too, so creative! And I definitely want to make a shirt out of a men's tee now.
i love nylon. such a great magazine. and i think i like the skirt better as a skirt. it's still cool as a top though. and i really like the mens teen you cut. looks really good.
Adorable and pretty skirt! I love reading quotes and those are lovely! Best of luck on your audition!! I'm sure you'll rock it! xxoxoxoxoxo
That skirt is so sweet.
Good luck with your Jeopardy audition.
That is so cool! best wishes! your outfit is adorable, love it!
