DIY Caramel Front Pleated Skirt
28th July 2011
A little while ago the gorgeous Brooke of The Style Net suggested we collaborate on a DIY project to be hand picked by you (remember here?). We got heaps of votes for the front pleated skirt option so I set about making one. I tried to make mine a little different to the original (cue a Clueless soundbite – Murray after shaving his head at ‘the Val’ party: ‘cos I’m keepin’ it real. ‘cos I’m keepin’ it real!’) , whilst sticking to the general premise of the style. It was incredibly simple to make, so be sure to check out the tutorial here at The Style Net. I chose to pair the earthy caramel of the skirt with my favourite colour of the moment – blue, and some tribal accessories.
Wearing: DIY skirt (tutorial here), A Pair & A Spare blue pocket front silk singlet, DIY bronze cuffs, tribal belt as a necklace, Nat Sui T bar flats, rope bag from Thailand.

It’s a masterpiece, well done! I wish i understood more about garment construction, I want to learn. I love your ‘bolt’ cuffs, great find. I just did a DIY on my blog… amateur compared to yours though, haha!

Funny thing, I was at a department store today and say a set of hinge closure bracelets exactly like the hex nut ones you are wearing in this post and had talked about re purposing in an earlier post.I am always amazed when I find something in retail that was DIYed ages before.
Love! I especially like the pictures of how it flows when you walk.
YES! Absolutely love the skirt!
