Look what I made! Remember when I got all ga-ga over that cute applique skirt from Boden? Here is my original (and way cheaper) version!
I really like it. It took longer than it should have... I don't know why, but I had trouble manuvering around the waistband and bulky cordory. It's a little bit "country"... but I'm working it.
Here's a detail. You know I'm all about the leaf/pod/eyeball shape.
The wool felt I bought from the local quilt shop was divine. Luckily I remembered to pre-wash it.
I read somewhere that tights are hot this year... so maybe I'll get another pair or two. And maybe I'll even pack it to wear in Houston. I'm leaving on Friday! Can you say excited?

Striped tights!! I love it.I have promised Miss Mia an outfit from Boden, but she can't make a decision so we haven't gotten anything, yet.
Too cute! Have fun!
Very Cute!....I like it better than Boden's. Have a great time in Houston.
very chic, and the price, I'm sure can't be beat...have a fabulous time in houston. I'll be looking forward to your take...
Love the skirt but I can't imagine wearing tights in Houston....I would boil! It's always so hot and humid there.

I like your version much better too! Much more stylish versus garish. Don't misunderstand, I love colours very much but I love the muted look of your skirt.
Too cute, and so very you!
Kudos,great job and you look cute in the skirt. Have a great time in Houston!

Wonderful--It's too cute!
