Trending : The Envelope Skirt

If you watch the fashion trends, then I'm sure you've seen the new take on the wrap skirt. The Envelope skirt is a super cute asymmetrical cut skirt. This cut flatters most shapes and is being seen all over the runway. This style skirt comes in a variety of lengths, textures, and colors! I was sitting down with a cup of coffee and came across a post in the latest edition of Lucky Magazine! Here's a picture via Instagram!

 

I really love the nautical print skirt featured in Lucky! It is Cotton, $289 and will be available mid February at whit,saks.com! Check out these other cute envelope skirts! Details below on where to grab one for yourself! There is a fit and price for everyone! What are your thoughts on this trend?

T-Shirt to Skirt : DIY Refashion

I've been doing a ton of projects lately and wanted to share this one with you! For this I used a plain gray t-shirt and transformed it to a skirt! Check out the before and after picture then follow the easy directions to make your own!

T-Shirt Refashion by flairbybrandi featuring silk scarves

DIRECTIONS and SUPPLIES:

For this project you will need:
* An Old or New T-Shirt slightly oversized
*Scissors
*Needle/Thread, Sewing Machine, or Double Sided Fabric Tape (the fabric tape is just like sewing!)
*Scarf, Ribbon, or belt

Super easy directions:
1) Cut the top of the t-shirt across the sleeve area and slightly up at an angle as pictured above.
2) Once your shirt is cut fold down 2 times in 1-2 in sections.
3) After your shirt is folded there will be an upside down "V" on both sides of the actual shirt hem.
4) Sew or use iron on fabric bond to hem the bottom of the fold across the front and back. Leave the sides where the "V" is open.
5) Take a scarf, ribbon, or belt and feed through the "V" sections until they meet on one side.
6) Put on your new skirt and tie or fasten your belt!

That's it! How easy was that? This project took under 30 minutes and didn't cost me a penny! I hope you enjoyed this DIY! Let me know how yours turns out!
