I'm also linking up to Everybody, Everywear's "DIY" so I slipped on a "maternity skirt" my mom, Fair Isle, made (since I'm terrible at doing anything myself) from a tube top she thrifted. She unstitched the built in bra from the top and flipped it up so it could go over my belly. It's comfortable and works perfectly as a maternity cable knit skirt! She made me one in black and in coral.

Anyway, I love a link-up and despite having some technical difficulties making looks work with my maternity clothes, I will wear almost anything to put together the right outfit. Though something I will NOT be wearing is wet clothes...unless of course it's after I've given the girls their bath.

that's a great idea for a skirt. You have a really creative mommy. I like how the top turns out as a skirt, very chic and looks comfortable. The picture of pigtails climbing out from the tub is so cute. Just curious... you are such a calm mommy to be snapping a cute photo in this kind of situation..haha..I'll be screaming my head off! I like your floral skirt too, very cute design. The necklace is perfect with the outfit.

What an awesome idea for a maternity (or even normal!) skirt. Very cute. Your girls are so cute.
You're looking beautiful, lady!

Fair Isle is so awesome - I love that skirt! And please tell Pigtails that I think she's cute too!!
Love the coral outfit! Do you have a Step by Step for Pigtails?
...Kidding, of course.
A tube top? It looks wonderful. I guess we can see where you get your sense of style and adventure from.
thanks for popping over. It doesn't seem like capes are very well liked by my bloggy buddies!
and,,,,,,,,,oh the bath stories I could tell you from our two youngest sons......from one shaving both of their heads with a bic razor to baby oil shampoo!
It was worth it for a few minutes of peace!
I love that coral maternity skirt! I am going to have to make a (non-maternity) version for me!!
You did a great job with that skirt, and I like the floral fabric that you chose.
Adorable idea. Love the color also.
Kudos to mom!

Your mom is all kinds of awesome, obviously! I love that cable knit skirt so much...will it be able to double as a post maternity skirt, as well?
I hope you and the girls are feeling better this week!

Your mom did an awesome job with this skirt! I love the colour and you can't tell this was once a top!
You have the best mom, I wish I thought of creative ways to alter my thrift purchases. Both outfits are very cute and I love your nude pumps in the second.
