March to the beat of your own drum.




jean paul gaultier dress/skirt for target, vintage jacket, zara wedges




March to the beat of your own drum: I took this Jean Paul Gaultier dress (bought on the sale rack) and turned it into a fun skirt! I paired it with a marching band inspired jacket equipped with pretty gold buttons and dainty trimmings!

  15. i love how striking the yellow and cobalt blue are together. esp love how the hem of the dress fans out and has volume. my fav part of your outfit has definitely got to be your zara wedges. zara shoes are so comfortable, on trend and affordable - what more could a girl ask for? :) you look great!

    I really loved the jpg dress when I saw it at target but a 34C + v-necks/halters don't mix. I wish I thought of turning it into a skirt too!

  59. I want it. I looked for it online and did not see it. Which makes me sad.

    I think it does work better as a skirt rather than a dress.

  68. What a great outfit! I love the combination of bright colors. How did you make this dress into a skirt? Did you just tuck in the bodice or did you actually cut it? It looks so great, you would never know its not supposed to be this way!
