It is pattern that makes a trend, or how they are sewn?

Spots seem to be coming in as a trendy pattern at the moment, with Karen Walkers current collection including a spot

of polka dots, & many other stores online and offline. Although in my opinion polka dots are kind of always in (they are

a classic pattern and, like stripes, and cant really be unfashionable), however the way a garment is designed can be a

little more temporary. I've seen many forms of the cross-over pointed skirt/skort around the internet (I've seen so many I'm

not even sure which place made them originally) and liked them from the beginning. However I hadn't managed to find

one that fit my price range and fit requirements that we could get sent to New Zealand, so I had to get a bit creative. After

spotting this spotty fabric I decided to combine the two trends into one piece and in a project runway style mad dash

attempted to whip up this skirt in time for my friends 21st (only 4 hours away from when I started eek). Luckily fate was

looking kindly upon me and it actually came together with no problems, woo!

Unfortunately due to bad timing and bad weather this past week I didn't manage to get home at the right time for Ellen to

take photos of this, so I attempted (with a degree of success) to take self timed photos. Well, what a mission! It was a struggle

to get the angles I wanted, especially in focus. However given how much I love this new skirt I figured I be able to get more

photos to share soon enough, till then these will have to do :)
