Flirty Animal Print Dress Refashion

Happy New Year! Kung Hee Fat Choy! We're in the midst of celebrating Chinese New Year here in Hawai`i, and although I don't have any horse inspired refashions, I do have a cute animal print redo to share with you.

I found this skirt for free at a clothing swap. After all of the "cute" clothes were taken, I noticed it hanging sadly on the rack. I picked up and held it up to my waist. The owner happened to walk by and claimed that she never would have purchased the skirt had it not been for a salsa class. I decided right then and there to give it a home in my closet.  I loved the fullness of it, and actually wore it several times.

I would not have minded keeping this piece as a full, flowing skirt.  However, I began to see some refashioning potential.  This skirt was destined to become a flirty dress.  After some reconstruction and dye, it was totally transformed.  

 

I love it even more. You can find out more about this refashion over at my blog Feeling Kinda Thrifty.

Aloha,
