Plaid Pencil Skirt

I picked this lovely Liz Claiborne number for $3 at the thrift shop, despite a complete lack of plan for its future. It sat in my refashion pile for months before the light bulb finally came on - a sexy-librarian pencil skirt!

I chopped off the top, spun it around a bit so the side buttons were on the front, took in the sides, added two back darts, and used remnants from the top to form the waistband. I love how the buttons give it a slightly kilt-ish look.

Now I just need to find the perfect cardigan to match and get a chain to hang my glasses around my neck.
