DIY Chevron Skirt

skirt: made my me   tank top: old navy   shoes: dsw  necklace: wild about jewlery

I almost posted this last week, but I figured I would spread out my chevron print projects after sharing these pillows.   



I made this skirt following this tutorial.
And it really was pretty easy.  

I walked out to show it to Chris and the first thing he said was, 

"You look like a pillow."

He sure knows the right words to say. 

I guess I can't blame him since I had just made the pillows a the day before. 

I really like it with a belt too.  And plan on wearing it in the Fall and Winter with boots. 

Definitely my favorite skirt I've made so far!

    Love it with the belt. Hubbies can be so funny sometimes. I've gotten a few similar responses with some of my outfits! If you look like a pillow, you are the cutest pillow I've ever seen! Gorgeous. And super cute blog chica, happy to be a new follower!
