Seersucker and grommet detailing

I thrifted this tee-shirt for its cute seersucker and grommet detailing. But I haven't quite been sure how to style it, what with its boxy shape and casual vibe. When I saw fellow blogger Pearls and Paws wear a similarly-accented tee with a classic pencil skirt (here), I realized I'd been over-thinking things. I found a good match in a denim skirt I bought in high school but recently had tailored from an A-line to a pencil skirt. But, Pearls and Paws wins the best accessory award with her adorable dog Rex.

  3. Extremely cute!! Nice work on tailoring an old item into something more current :) I did that a few years ago when I found a pair of (embarrassingly) wide legged MAROON jeans - god what was I thinking. By Wide leg, I mean like 3 feet around, each leg. I turned them into a maxi skirt! was cute, but the denim was way too heavy to ever look right so I eventually donated them - hopefully they have a third life in their future, so much fabric!

    Sometimes good judgment is out to lunch when we're in stores, eh? I would not be shocked at all if your pants/skirt turned up in the fashion blog world somewhere. Probably as a hat or something. If you want to be amazed at people's creativity - there are actually blogs out there dedicated to granny chic!
