DIY Pencil Skirt Remixes

The Chloe Daley Apparel Makeover Video is Easy to Replicate

— February 26, 2013 — Art & Design
The Chloe Daley DIY Pencil Skirt Makeover comes of the Refinery29 blog roll. The fashion expert points to the futility of the classic pencil skirt as it is most often reserved for interviews only. She has found a way to make the piece appropriate for consistent wear here.

Daley's entry was inspired by a cut out pencil skirt worn by Elisa Nalin at Paris' Fashion Week. She turned to a pair of scissors and bottle of glue to replicate the look, seen in the filmed clips in just over two minutes. The finished product is described by Daley as having "...serious dance-floor status." And indeed, given its brown and black studs, it is certainly well-suited to a night on the town.
