Wild Child


I have had this skirt for 6 months now and have desperately wanted to fix it....it was just a little to wide and baggy for me. When I saw this at a goodwill in Seattle, I instantly fell in love with the color, the linen fabric, the waist's pleating, pockets, and the two white buttons on the left side. When I took it in....I did the same thing as this taking in a skirt tutorial. 
Little does Beck know...that the whole hour and a half that he is taking his nap, I'm doing ALL this. I'm SO thankful for his once a day nap. Can't get anything done when he is ready to rock and roll. Such a WILD CHILD.
