Hola people! What a whirlwind of a weekend, I can’t believe it’s Sunday night already! Just yesterday morning, I was getting ready for a birthday party, and I hit my oh so common dilemma, “WHAT THE DICKENS SHOULD I WEAR.”

Now, I have to preface this by saying that I’m not a clothes horse or a fashionista. I just happen to find it frustrating that ONE day clothes will fit fine, the next day something janky seems to be going on. Yesterday, I was finding that one of my comfortable dresses that I just bought back in August, did not fit on top whatsoever. Did my shoulders shrink? What the deuce?

Running out of time to be continuously pacing our house in my tights and man-go-round looking frighteningly close to being ready, I looked once again at the dress I had on. Why, was that an elastic waistband on the skirt?

Then I got a DANGEROUS idea. I grabbed my scissors, and ran downstairs. Yep, I was running with scissors people Literally, and for realzies. What did my very bad self do?

Yea! Now it is wearable again! and I can wear ANY top underneath it! Plus, the top can still be a strange midriff/scar baring pajama top. Bonus!

What do you think of my DIY skirt hack job? Do you ever take matters into your own scissored hands when clothes don’t fit? Have you ever altered clothes without  a game plan?
