Made by Me | Polka Dot Midi Skirt

Restyle | Lace Overlay Mini Skirt

This weekend I gave my old (well worn) black jersey skater skirt from Topshop a bit of a spring makeover. 

I have worn this skirt loads as it goes with almost anything, but felt I wanted something a little different. I have always been a fan of the romantic/ gothic lace trend so decided to remake my skater skirt into a straight style skirt and stitch a pretty lace overlay over it too.

I love how it instantly gives my hair style a quirky update. 

Here's how I did it ...

 This has got to be one of my favourite Christmas presents I received this year. 
My mum bought me this DIY polka dot knickers craft kit by The Makery and when I opened it on Christmas day I couldn't wait to get crafting.
