DIY Inspiration: Turn A Mini Into A Maxi (Sorta)

From this photo, it looks like Miroslava Duma literally just belted some extra leather onto her dress, turning the mini skirt into a fall-appropriate maxi/pseudo-fishtail dress!

But these photos show it's actually just a slightly less-mini overskirt. But still! A maxi version of this could so be DIYable.

Outfit: Birthday Sequins

So today is my birthday woo hoo! 23 is kind of awesome and kind of boring. It feels like just the right age, exactly where I want to be for a while (maybe for the next year?) but also strangely old for how I feel. And while I don't get any more adult powers and nothing really special happened, it did give me an excuse to romp around in my new sparkly jacket and new pumps all day! Now for a long bath and cake and the girliest movie I can find.

Henley tank: Target
Jacket: from a local store, Jondie's
Jeans: old Levi's
Black patent pumps: from a local store, Blush
Necklace: gift from my father from Australia
