Let’s just get one thing out of the way.

I am NOT pregnant.

So why am I showing you pics of these Target maternity dresses? 

Because I scored each for $5 last weekend at Goodwill. Tags still on and all.

Again, NOT pregnant.

But I do love me some high-waisted skirts, such as this $118 Anthropologie number:



So I bought the maternity dresses at $5 a pop, cut off the tops, and poof: I had 2 skirts.

Well, kind of.

These were not only maternity dresses, but they were XXL maternity dresses. So they still needed a little help.

Which leads me to even bigger news: I learned how to sew people.

Well, kind of.

My momma taught me how to sew a straight stitch with her sewing machine. So I pinched in the skirts about 1 inch in on each side, sewed about an inch down on the top, and THEN I had 2 skirts.



So what do you think? I love that first pic of the black and white skirt because I think it is pretty similar to the Anthropologie one, just $113 cheaper.
