Friends, do not judge me for what I am about to show you:
BUT SERIOUSLY. WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE LIKE THAT?!
I don't know what is worse: the denim vest, the denim prairie skirt with the lace ruffle, or THAT HAIR. The hair is the reason I'll never go back to having a pixie cut - because then it turns into a bowl cut. OMGNO.
This is my NO face.
I used some denim that I had found in the remnant box at the Needle Shop to make up Colette's Meringue Skirt. I thought it was only fitting to honor that hideous denim ensemble (with lace bits) by making a fabulous scallop skirt.
This skirt whipped up in no time! From start to finish, I think it took me three hours... and it only took that long because I got distracted by the Hunger Games soundtrack (which is AWESOME).
A close up of the scallops, which turned out pretty well since I followed the directions in the book. Sometimes, when I follow directions, things work out - and I like that.
There were no tears involved in the making of this skirt, which is more than can be said for the epic denim ensemble. Every other picture from before the hoedown has me standing there with a tear-stained face. I got in trouble for something - probably hurting my sister, which is what you do when you are 8... and just want to get out on the dance floor so you can dance to Achey Breaky Heart.
Oh, memories... drowning them away with a Sweaty Betty. I have no idea what that is exactly - Rob had it in the fridge and I stole one. Now I just need a mechanical bull and it will be an epic night, y'all.
Have a great weekend, all! And don't overdo the denim - it can only end in tears.
