High waisted trousers and skirts have never really made much of an appearance in my wardrobe. I chalk it up to being a teen in the parachute-pant-loving 80’s and spending most of twenties in the low-riders-paired-with-crop-tops 90’s.
After a bit of a hunt through my stash I managed to refashion an outfit to suit this high waisted Thrifty Thursday theme:
Take a peek under my coat at the thrifty DIY ensemble I cobbled together:
Knit scarf (inherited) €0 – Cord Pea Coat (thrifted online) €3 – Longsleeved Crop Top (refashioned from my stash) €0 – High Waisted Vintage Skirt (refashioned from my stash) €0 – Tights (had for years) €0 – Chunky Heeled Boots (had for years) €0
Total cost: €3
And just how did I create my refashioned high waisted ensemble?
The long sleeved crop top was simply chopped and hemmed to my desired length and the vintage skirt became high waisted with 2 straight side seams thus shrinking the waistband and making it fit higher on my torso.
Love this outfit and these colours on you!
Cheers my dear! The look is super simple to refashion from an old skirt & jersey top 😀
