For full details, check the original post here. Thrifty Threads 365: one dress, multiple waysThere's nothing I love more than wearing a single garment multiple ways. And that's exactly what I have with this printed dress. Well, it actually started out as a fishtail skirt {see the original post in 2010 when I had a tailor transform it from a skirt to a dress}. I immediately noticed the bold pattern when I saw it in a bin at the Goodwill Outlet. I wasn't feeling the skirt, but knew I could have a tailor convert it into a strapless dress. I've worn it as a dress and now I'm rocking it as a skirt with the addition of a t-shirt and belt {both thrifted!}.

Thrifty Threads 365, style challenge
Every woman has that skirt, shirt or purse she can't live without. For me, right now, my favorite flirty skirt is an LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's tulle maxi {no longer available} and I'm kinda sorta finally getting into the crop top trend, so I'm wearing my vintage top from Clothes Contact in San Francisco.
The last time I rocked the tulle skirt was this past winter with a silky top and fur vest {seen here} and I just wore the crop top a few weeks ago with a maxi dress {seen here}.
Though I love the tulle skirt and crop top, I've never worn them together. I finally changed that!
