When I received this maxi dress I noted it was a little on the shorter side, and for my height that doesn't come by often. No really, I'm 5'3, It doesn't. So I told myself well I'll just hang dry it and make sure not to put it in the dryer, ever.
Turns out my husband didn't get that memo and did the laundry the next day, because he's wonderful. I'm sure you know what happens next, the dress shrunk a lot. NBD, I didn't like it as a dress anyways.
So I cut the 3 inch tube top off and made it a skirt...turns out my hopes of it being a maxi quickly became midi length, which seems to be all the rage so I'm on trend now, right?

Um, actually, I am in SUPER love with this ensemble. These are some of my favorite colors (I love all things preppy) and that belt (scarf?) is PERFECT. Love the white tee...the necklace. You know you've hit a good note when people want to copy you. Now I feel I must go get a long (midi or maxi, doesn't matter) skirt!!!
I don't know how it looked like as a dress, but it's lovely as a skirt. I really liked the color of it, paired with this amazing scarf-belt! :)
I so want to buy a mazi dress or a skirt right now! You're really inspiring...
That is so perfect!! I loooove it as a skirt on you! And that scarf/belt is beyond amazing. The white tucked in tee is the icing on the cake. You've styled everything perfectly :)

This is one of my favorite looks on you ever! I love the combo. The skirt looks perfect and I love the scarf as a belt!!! GOR-JAY-OUS!

You look amazing! And I feel the same way about my hubby! He turned all of our whites into pinks because he didn't know towels bleed during first wash. It would be okay if this didn't happen 3 times now. So now he's banned from doing laundry. lol Apparently he doesn't know what "wash with like colors" mean. oh well... I gotta love him. lol
What a way to salvage the item

I love everything you wear, but this pink skirt/maxi with the belt/scarf is my fave! Amazing!
So much to love about the invention of this look! The belt scarf is genius! And anytime you can rock a white tee and still keep it utterly chic is a win in my book! ;)
