Remember when I told you that I have a J.Crew problem?  Well, that addiction extends into J.Crew Factory and more recently, Crew Cuts.  Spotted from across the outlet store, in the girls’ section, was the most adorable skirt in a polka dot print.  A similar skirt had recently sold out in adult sizes, so I knew I had to make it work.  I had no shame squeezing into a skirt meant for a fourteen year old, but I did away with a trim white tulle that was peeking out from underneath.  The final result: a spring skirt that I know I will be getting plenty of wear this season!

    How cute is that skirt! I do the same thing, but with shoes. I can go as small as a size 3 in kids sizes, and if there’s a comparable pair, they’re usually a lot cheaper!

    • Holy moly — I’m not really familiar with kids’ shoe sizes, but size 3 sounds teeny tiny!

  7. I always think about the kid stuff, but am afraid to explore the section. This skirt looks so great though!!
