How I Re-used My Old Jeans

I recently re-painted a large wall in our house......I didn't have any designated "paint clothes" on hand like I used to, so I just used the pair of jeans that I liked the least.  A bit worn out, not the fit I like, etc.  And though I tried valiantly not to get paint on them......the inevitable happened.  Just a few tiny blotches of creamy white paint on the left leg.  Not too bad, but noticable enough to say that my days of wearing them were over.

I had another skirt which I really liked, but didn't wear very often because the waist band was kind of funky.  It was a drawstring, and it sort of reminded me of an "old grandma" kind of skirt.  (Absolutely NO offense to grandma's out there - I will wear your style one day, however right now I am only eighteen!!! )

So I decided to combine the two into something that I liked and could wear.

Chop off the pant legs to right below the zipper.....

....chop off the waistband......

and voila!  A new skirt.

I have had this blue and brown ribbon lying around for so long, I was excited when I found I could use it as as belt on this skirt!  I don't normally wear my shirts tucked in, but for this skirt I thought it "worked" because of the cute ribbon.

 I love it!

I thought since I was posting about my outfit I'd post about my hair as well.  I've been trying to branch out on hairstyles recently because I get in SUCH a rut.  Not a bad thing, but variety is nice.

So, what do you think?

Honestly?

Does my skirt look weird, like a pair of pants chopped off with a skirt plastered to the bottom?  Or is it cute?  Okay?  Or just so-so?  Tell me what you think.
