apple picking skirt
Meet my new Apple Picking Skirt. I always get the itch for new clothes when the seasons change, so I went digging around in my fabrics and found this old XL men's shirt I thrifted way back. It reminded me of that cute Target dress that I loved but didn't fit me right. An hour later I had myself one really comfy little elastic waist skirt. It was so easy.
Why the Apple Picking Skirt? Don't you think it would look just perfect poofed out around me on a quilt with a basket of apples nearby? If the weather is warm enough Wednesday, we may just find out.
Happy, happy Monday. : )

love it - but most important (to a shoe girl) is; where are the shoes from?
