(Silk top: Urban Outfitters, Watermelon Skirt: DIY, Under skirt: Topshop, Shoes: Marni x H&M, Necklace: eBay, Bracelets: Miscellaneous)
Nothing like spinning around your living room on a week night in a poofy skirt while wearing a bow in your hair! I find adding one of these tutu underskirts to any outfit makes my mental age drop significantly and results in continuous sashaying and twirling.
I did a little DIY on this former Topshop skirt that I got from eBay, I purchased little drop Czech glass beads from online to act as the seeds and got some grosgrain ribbon for the waist band. It was a simple and rewarding DIY, if not slightly childish, this is honestly the skirt of my 10 year old dreams. Since finishing this one I have furthered my potential sewing-mental-breakdown by considering other fruits I could make, Strawberry is top of my list.
If anyone wants instructions on how to make this skirt or information on where I got the materials just ask! I'm sure if I make another, a friend would be a happy bunny!
Does anyone have any other fruits on their mind that would make a good skirt?
With love from,

So sweet ...Love the rings
ReplyDeleteThank you Kamila! I actually have 5 of them, all in different sizes, I am sure the lady I ordered them from thought I was a bit odd. If you want me to find out the shop I can! They had them in different finishes too, I was considering getting a more smooth finish set!

Until you get a bit dizzy... but yes, spinning in a circle skirt is not just fun for 6 year old's, 20+ year old's can indulge as well! I love this comment you sent me, I was so excited I had to show my boyfriend... sad right? Thank you for being so kind! Also, I love the name of your blog, I wish I had dimples, but alas, I don't...
DeleteThank you again!!

Tali, thank you! I got the necklace on eBay, it is a house of harlow copy, but I bought one of their rings once and it went disgusting, so I fully indorse buying a copy! Lasts just as long and was more purse friendly! I can find you a link to one if you like?
