I got this plus-sized shirt because of the colors and silky material. Problem? Its size and huge ruffle down the center!

After a little experimentation, I was inspired to turn this into a comfy summer skirt!
First, the ruffle had to go! Don't worry, I have kept it in my bin of goodies for some later purpose. Something down the road will beg to be ruffled! I cut the ruffle out and sewed up the seam. For the waistband, I just sewed a 1-inch pocket around the top of the skirt and used a safety pin to thread some elastic all the way through.

Sewed up all the ends, gave it a quick press, and here is what I got! The material is super silky and comfortable, and this outfit just screamed to be shown off somewhere!

| Paired with a black top and raring to go! |
So in the spirit of brightly-colored refashions, my husband took me to see
Red 2. I love me some Helen Mirren. It was action-packed fun with "wizened" characters. Here's to a
Red 3.
