The scene: Deseret Industries. It was a month before my brother's wedding, and I still needed to find some coral and yellow clothing. The last 1,000 times I'd been shopping, things hadn't gone so well. This time, I was determined to make it work. Instead of looking for the right color AND fit AND item of clothing, I would only look for color. Strategy: Walk along the racks and pick up anything that's either coral or yellow.
The result?
These pants.
But, after a little picking, sewing, and ironing...
I ended up with this skirt! It used to be huge pants, and now it's a skirt that fits me well and that I love. Woohoo! Now I'm working on expanding my professional wardrobe. Bring on the oversized pants, DI!

Who knew that sewing class would be so useful?! It looks great!
Good for you, you smartie! You are going to be a great mother and save your husband lots of money!
You are me at the clothing store. Now you will begin to wonder, how much am I willing to pay if I have to go home and make all the adjustments too? AM I NUTS?
This skirt is adorable.
Thank you!
Sister Darcey - That is totally me! So often, I find myself thinking, "Well, I'd just have to do this little thing to it." Then after I make the changes (and they often take longer than I planned since I'm still figuring them out), I always wonder if I got as good a deal as the price tag said :D
Teach me to be you!
Whaaaaaaat!! This is AWESOME!
Alison! This looks amazing! AND it has POCKETS and I bet it is so comfy! I think I might just have to head to DI soon.
LIES! Ugh...you should do a step by step blog on how you did this...
Well done!! It looks great!
