My favourite kind of skirt is one that twirls as they always make me feel happy. I made this one from a much longer and larger linen skirt I found. I kept the pretty hemline intact and cut off the top half, gathered the top edge and attached an elastic waistband. It's really comfy and I'll wear it lots.
I picked up the cardigan from a charity shop this week. It was originally from LK Bennett (bargain!) and is more of a jacket as it's made from quite a heavy, tightly woven knit. I was worried the colour didn't suit my skin tone (as I've often been told that I shouldn't wear yellow) but I feel the colour is fine. In fact, I really like it!

I love your outfit! Well done! At the moment I'm sitting here typing in a pair of old trousers and a t-shirt that are COVERED in our bathroom blue and guest bedroom yellow paints! As soon as we finish all this remodeling I swear I'm gonna get it together and get out my 'paintin' clothes. Thanks for the inspiration, I needed it!
I love the colors together and the twirl is great! I like the tights the best. What kind of shoes would you wear? Bright or dark shoes, since your cardigan is yellow? Btw I made your skirt here in my blog and it turned out great. =) you can see it here if you want! http://ruthography.blogspot.com/2010/09/skirt.html thanks for the amazing tutorial.
I feel the same way about the twirl of a skirt, and well i like my dresses to twirl too!
That sweater is amazing, the color is great, and i love the collar!
Skirts that twirl make me happy too. And yellow definitely suits you!
