I’m so excited that I am participating in the second Paper Doll Project sponsored by Miss Vinyl Ahoy. She matches up style bloggers who then get to wander virtually through each other’s wardrobes & style an outfit for one another. Each blogger suggests one item that they would like their outfit styled around & the other blogger builds an outfit. You can check out all the participants here.

I was paired up with Missy from Pieces of My Earth & it has been great getting to know her. She also got engaged during the time we were emailing back & forth – so a big congratulations to her! She’s got great style & I was excited to see what she would put together for me. You can also check out the outfit I styled for her.

I had a skirt that I had repurposed but hadn’t worn yet. I’ve had it for years in its original form, but never had an opportunity to wear it. It had a long, full skirt underneath a shear outer skirt. Then I started seeing short skirts under shear outer skirts & figured I’d probably get more use out of it that way, plus I loved the look so I got out my handy dandy scissors & a new skirt was born!

She offered me two suggestions & let me choose which one I wanted to go with. To be honest I was fairly sure from the start which one I would choose as one of the choices involved a belt & I just don’t wear belts. However, being a good paper doll, I tried it & turns out I love it! I still can’t believe I’m wearing a belt.  I wasn’t even sure I had a belt, but found one in the back of my closet. I’m not saying I’ll be wearing belts every day, but I’m planning on wearing them more often. Thanks so much Missy!
