Remember back in February when I went to Value Village with my mum and I found this beautiful fabric? I loved the fabric so much that I spent many many hours considering what to make of it. Which is kind of funny since it’s the cheapest fabric ever, but I knew if I screwed it up I wouldn’t be able to find more.
It was pretty sheer, almost gauzy. I was thinking a wrap skirt but I didn’t want it to look too beachy. I finally decided on a tiered skirt. Perhaps a little outmoded but I knew it would be pretty and comfortable and fun, so the decision was made.
Erin also requested pictures of my torture shoes with outfits so this is a twofer.
I love the colour so damned much.
I used the directions for the tiered skirt from Sew What? Skirts! but I made it much shorter instead of boho / hippy length. It’s supposed to be forty degrees with the humidex this weekend so I may just live in this for a few days.

Very, very cute skirt. And I still love the torture shoes. Although they may not be comfy, they are HOT!
“Enjoy” the warm weather! Environment Canada is forecasting a high of 19 degrees here this weekend — I must say, I’m quite happy that it won’t be 40 degrees!

OMG! That color is amazing! I love it! (Orange being my fave color, followed by pink!) I can just see me making a long Turkish coat out of it. I must find some like it now!
Great job on the skirt btw!

That skirt is so pretty! I love skirts like that! Those shoes look painful, but that’s coming from someone who wears sneakers pretty much all the time. They’re cute, though!
