32 Things: Fierce Combo: Tank Top & Pencil Skirt

OK, so I guess this isn't fierce per se, but these pieces independent of one another are very versatile and awesome.  Together they're fine, but I love this skirt with the McCall's 5138 pattern I made last year.
I love, love this skirt.  I used my go-to semi-self blocked pencil skirt pattern with a few new changes.  I added a wide waistband and a weensy welted pocket that I saw on a Banana Republic skirt.   I thought it would elevate the design.

I got the fabric and lining in the dollar bin, and I had the invisible zipper from another skirt I had taken apart & repurposed for Veronica, so the whole thing cost about $2.  Actually, the knit for the tank top is also from the dollar bin, so this whole outfit was a steal!!!

Also, here are pics of the completed Double V knockoff -- item 3 of my 32 Things project.

  1. That Double V knockoff is gorgeous! Like some sort of modern Greek goddess outfit. And you look totally fierce it in :)
