Restyle: Acne skirt

IMG_0469-2.jpg

This skirt was quite easy to pair with anything.  Such is the nature of denim & trashed denim even more so!  It will be definitely more wearable when Spring comes, though, and will look much better when those legs have seen a bit of sun.

DIY Details
The Acne-style trashed skirt began as a floor length atrocity & was lovingly hacked to death by my Ma.
I tried my hand at creating a chain-mail-look tank, inspired by this one from Zadig & Voltaire, but it didn't turn out as I had imagined.  Instead I have a customised sparkly knit singlet.
The bow-back shoes are inspired by Carven's sling backs that are so famous on ze internet.  The bow is a hand stitched removable silk "canoe-shaped" tube to get the bow shape.
