    So, I'm looking for an original skirt I can wear to a party that I was invited to last weekend, something that's guaranteed to stand out. (You know how it is, you go to a party, you want people to notice that you're there, right?)

    I was thinkin and thinkin, and of course, I'm tight on cash, so whatever I buy has to be really inexpensive.... so I thought I'd make my own outfit! I collected a bunch of old pairs of jeans that my husband and I are about to throw out, and initially I was going to make a patchwork jean skirt.... but then I had a funkier idea...

    I cut out all the butt pockets from all the jeans, and I also bought a few pairs of jeans from a thrift store, cutting out all the but pockets from those as well, and I cut a buttonfly from one of the pants as well. Sewn together so all the pockets face up, I have a skirt of all pockets, it's so cool! I only wish I had a digital camera to post a picture of it... trust me, it looks so awesome!
