My mother in law gave me a bunch of her old clothes to either sell, get rid of, or keep. Included in the pile was this tiered maxi skirt with a super cute western print.

I don’t ever wear maxi skirts, so at first I thought I would cut it and just have a shorter skirt, but after I cut the bottom tier off I realize there was enough to make a top with! These tiered skirts are so fully gathered that once you cut and iron the layers, you have way more than you thought you would. 

I decided on a Rita blouse from Gertie’s Charm patterns line. It’s a fitted peasant blouse with a side zip and it’s so so easy to whip up!

It took about three days with the limited time I have available, and voila! A cute outfit to wear to my boys’ western themed dance tonight!
