red transformation

blouse - thrifted

skirt - self made

this skirt used to be shorts of a sort

huge and ugly one..

my aunt gave it to me

she said: you can transform it into something wearable!

and i never say no to a good challenge

..

so, last march i made this pencil skirt

..

back then, i still lived in denial

of how much weight i gained over the last year

so i made the skirt using a pattern i used for my previous pencil skirts

and it ended up being a size or two smaller than it should be

..

it's a pretty little skirt

 i remember being quite happy with how it turned out

i saved the original pockets from the shorts

and original hem too

i finished it, and was so excited to try it on

and it was so ridiculously small

it made me feel horrible

..

so i hid the skirt away

and managed to comfort myself with some cookies

..

a ton of cookies and few zipper bursts later

i decided i've had enough

and it's time to do something about it

..

one round of insanity and t25 workouts later

i'm not only able to finally wear my red skirt

but i feel like a whole new person

both physically and mentally
