You guys. It’s Monday.
And Mr. Husband graduates on Friday.
And on Saturday we are driving out to Cali to go to Disneyland.
And this morning I got on to check my grades.
And guess what?
I got an A+ in literature.
Not just an A, an A+…
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Life is so good.
I feel like sharing the love.
So I fell in love with this dress, by Kate Spade a few weeks ago.
Love the skirt on it, love the cobalt blue and white.
Guess what I didn’t fall in love with?
The $325 price tag.
Yeouch.
When I found this awesome fabric at my favorite fabric store I seriously did a little jump for joy. So I brought it home and made it into a skirt. And then I made a top to wear with it.
And I kinda love it. And all the remixing possibilities with the separate pieces.
And now the good news for you:
Do you,
Want one of these lovelies for your very own?
That’s right girls, I’m giving away one of these custom made skirts to one of you fabulous ladies out there.

I have been a follower of you since I stumbled onto your blog about your bro for spread the word to end the word day. I loved that blog entry, and I’ve loved all of them since!
I take care of a girl who has special needs, so I don’t get dolled up on a daily basis, but I love being able to do so every Sunday for church! It feels great to feel put together and pretty-I feel so much more confident when I love what I’m wearing!
I get dolled up to feel good through out the day. If I have something bright on or sparkly it just makes me smile:) This skirt is LOVELY!

I like getting dolled up for date night!
Since I probably won’t win, did you use a pattern for the top? I’m sure I can figure out the skirt but I could use a little direction with a top like.
I love getting all dolled up for date nights with my boyfriend!
My favorite reason to get dolled up – it makes me feel good! I recently lost 15 pounds and one dress size, so dressing pretty = feeling pretty for me!!
Your skirts are adorable and I would love to have one! :-) If you can make one in a size 10, that is.
I follow through bloglovin.
I like to get all dolled up just for the fun of it! I am usually the one that is a tad overdressed for any occasion.
My favorite reason to get dolled up is for girl’s night out! I have such a fun group of gals here in South Carolina and we always laugh until we cry and our mascara runs! It’s great!
I get dolled up for dates or when I am in a good mood -eastcoastjourney@gmail.com

I would LOVE to have this cute skirt….you are so talented! That cobalt blue is perfect! I love to get all dolled up for no reason at all, really, but especially for date nights out with my hubby! =) Thanks for the chance at this fun giveaway!
Oh, and I’m a follower of your fun blog…love it!
Spring is the best for this very reason! Adorable skirts without getting so hot you don’t feel cute anymore!
I love getting dolled up for church and date nights. And my hubby really likes it :)But I make it a point to look nice everyday, it just makes me feel good and pretty.
Already following you hot momma!

Absolutely gorgeous esp. with the pops of red! So envious of your sewing skills – it’s never ever been of one my strong points! lol Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway … I would love to own a skirt so beautiful!
I am following you via Google (Michelle in CA). I will enter a second time with an answer to your question later in the week.
Aw, you’re so sweet! My fave reason to get fancy is date night with busb. Eating out sans kids? Yes, please!
I follow . . . one of the best blogs yet.
I love to get all dolled up . . just because. Living w/7 brothers it’s kind of nice to get dolled up and actually feel like a girly girl.
Bonjour Cori! Oh, I’d love to win a custom skirt!! The material and pattern is absolutely lovely! Let’s see…My favorite reason for getting dolled up is pretty simple… it makes me feel great about myself. I also like looking good for the two most important boys (hubby & son) in my life. :)
Can I tell you the truth? I like getting dolled up for no reason at all. And suddenly, Wednesday isn’t any old Wednesday. I feel put together.. classic.. and I love it! This dress is stunning!
I’m following!
Javacurls again…. I just signed up to follow your blog. Have a great time in Disney! And congrats to your husband & to you on your good grades!
Dude, I SO want one of those skirts! Beautiful! I love to get all dolled up just because. I realized about a year ago that my day is always better, I always get more done, and I always feel better about myself and life in general if I put on a cute outfit, did my hair, put on my makeup that day. And I’ve only pulled like 2 pajama days since ;-)

I love dressing up for church. It feels so good to be put together.
And I follow you on Google Reader!
I love getting dolled up for no reason at all. Date nights, events, etc are fun – but sometimes the best is just wearing a pretty sundress to get groceries :)

Been a follower for awhile now on bloglovin’. Yay for fellow petites!
laurabostwick at hotmail dot com
Ohhhh so pretty! I love it. Totally couldn’t tell it was separate pieces, though! I would be thrilled to have one of these beauties.
My favorite time to dress up is actually when I am feeling lousy (sick or just sad), because pretty clothes just instantly put a smile on my face. And I am true believer that if you look put together on the outside consistently, you can really start to feel put together on the inside. Not that clothes make the woman, by any means, but they can truly help shape her!
I am also a follower :)
You are so sweet to share your sewing talents with one of us lucky readers. My favorite reason to get all dolled up is for date nights with my long-distance boyfriend. We’ve been balancing a distance relationship for almost three years so I like to look extra special on the occasions we get to spend together.
Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!
And I’ve been following you with Google Reader since the 30 x 30 challenge!

Thank you for this very gracious giveaway, lady! I’ve been sewing so much lately, but for some reason, nothing ever fits right, even when I make it to fit my specific measurements.
My favorite reason to get all dolled up is to show the world that MOMMAS have style, too!
I have been following via GFC for a few months, now! :)
thanks, again!

With four rascals at home, I rarely have time/energy to get dolled up, but when I do, I try to do it well!
Oh wow! How adorable is this? I sooo want a skirt just like it!
Another church dresser upper here, especially since I know I can put something on during that time and not slop something down the front of it.;)
And I follow you on Bloglovin’. :D
I have been a follower for about a month now and loving every minute of it. I am getting a sewing machine for my birthday because of your Easter dress. I can’t wait to make one and wear it! PICK ME!!!
I follow through Google Reader-found you via clothedmuch and I love your style! Modest, frugal, adorable, colorful. It’s so great to have inspiration.
Love getting dolled up for husband.
I’m a follower.
My favorite reason to get dolled up is that I am a WAHM mom who sews and teaches voice lessons, and when I look cute, I’m a happier, less-stressed mom, and better teacher, and more efficient sewer. It’s amazing how that works!
I have been getting more “dolled up” on a daily basis since reading your blog. I think it make me feel better about myself and helps being a wonderful wife and mother. I am also a stay at home mom going to school so it is easy to stay in a rut in my clothing. I love clothes and always fashionable but since having a baby and the weight that goes with it I have been blah. I am getting my groove back :) thanks to your blog!
I love getting dolled up because it makes me feel girly! And pretty. :)
I LOVE it!!! And you look absolutely breathtaking in it! Hm…I get dressed up to go to work every day. And I need to find more pieces that are knee-length or longer and cover everything up.
Congrats on the A+!!! That’s awesome!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom’s Closet
And I’m now a follower! :)
I like to get dolled up for ANYTHING! Whether I’m running errands or staying at home with the baby… it just feels good to be dressed and made up. It’s a hard habit to break since I used to work full-time before becoming a mom. I never went anywhere without my heels!
I’m a GFC follower as well :)
I’m sure pretty much every other person gave this same answer, but here it is anyway.. A night out with the husband, sans babies. Best. Reason. Ever. I really do love your blog. You are creative and pretty and just a really, really cute dresser, so keep up the good work.
My favorite reason to get dressed up would have to be, because it makes me feel so much better, and like a lady. I have 4 kids (9,7,22 months,& 8 weeks) I homeschool(glad thats wrapping up) and when you stay home all day it’s easy to not get dressed. But I find when I do it makes me feel so much better Like I can actually get through the day sane(at least half way :-)).
I would also like to know what pattern you used for the shirt, your clothes are always modest (not easily found these days) And I am all about modesty!
I love to get dolled up for when my husband has a “surprise” night out planned. And i had done a bit of detective work and figured it out previously, so I be sure to look perfect, while still looking surprised.

Oh, I forgot, I love to dress up to go out with the ladies. And I think I am going to go buy those amazing wedges you have.
you’re incredible! clever idea, to make it two separate pieces.
my favorite reason to get dolled up is when im going on a hot date! which doesnt actually happen all that often unless i take myself out, BUT its going to start happening ‘all that often’ because i met a boy.

WHAT?!?!?! i’m so excited. I’m going to use lots of caps. I LOVE getting dolled up when my FIANCE who will be my HUSBAND in JULY comes in from ARIZONA to see me in UTAH (long distance :( ). But then he’s going to take me away to Mesa and I’m kinda nervous.
Thanks!

I get dolled up to feel good the rest of the day. When you look pretty, you act pretty.
I LOVE to get dolled up for a night out on the town with my husband. I love to feel pretty every day, but especially for him!!! I also like to get dolled up for church. Silly? Maybe. BUT, I love to look nice and feel feminine. And, of course with my girls! It’s fun to be dolled up with your closest friends. I just wish I had a better wardrobe! Maybe this dress will help with that! :)

My favorite reason to get dolled up is a Saturday full of fun in the summer! Of course, my version of dolled up is wearing cutoff shorts and sandals, so long as my makeup and hair look good. That counts, yes?
And PS: I’m a follower. I pretty much NEVER enter giveaways, but this skirt was just too dang cool to pass up. Definitely share a tutorial/the pattern you used once the giveaway’s over.
I love to get all dressed up to go out on a date with my husband (doesn’t happen often with our schedules). But, really, I’ll get dressed up for about anything – it’s my favorite part of being a girl :)
Just found your blog from momma go round. You are too cute! I like to get dolled up when the husband and I go out of course, but I also like to look super cute on a blah kind of day (rainy, cloudy, grumpy) because if nothing else is going right, at least I feel good.
I am a new follower :)
Yes! I’d love one, I’m a follower!
Hugs, Cindy
I love getting all dolled up for church and since its at 1 this year I actually have time! But lately I’ve tried to get a little more dolled up during the day because it just makes me feel better and I seem to get more done!
Thanks for a really fun giveaway- the skirt is so lovely.
I follow your blog in my Google Reader

I dont actually have a reason to get dolled up, well maybe for work. But I do it even when I dont work. That is the beauty of being a girl! <3
I love to get dolled up as much as possible. I love the skirt and would love to win.
I like to get dolled up because it make my husband insanely happy. He does so much for me and getting dolled up is such a simple thing I can do to make him happy….plus it is just so much fun! Win-win and who could ask for more!
Seriously beautiful skirt.
I love getting dolled up for my husband ;)

i get dolled up because it is a way to express my creativity daily, because i feel more confident if i put “real” clothes on, and because i did when i was dating my husband-so i should now!

You are adorable and I love other short people. :)
I love to get dressed up to go out with my hubby!
I have been getting dolled up simply for myself every morning. It helps me feel better throughout the day without a doubt (and it’s fun to accessorize and wear lipstick for no reason at all!)
I am now a follower of your blog- and you are so cute! I seriously need a wardrobe makeover and I am loving all of your tips!
My favorite reason for getting dolled up is just to make my husband come home from work and tell me how beautiful I am…lame and cheesy I know, but I love it!
I love to get all dolled up because it makes me feel so good about myself!
I love all your clothes and all your outfits!

My favorite thing to dress up for is church. :)
Also, I follow your blog now. :)
I LOVE getting dolled up for church & sometimes just because. I have 2 boys and I want them to know I care about what I look like…instead of just throwing sweats on and calling it good. Thanks for the chance.
I like getting dolled up any time! I tend to be an over dresser, but it’s because I have dressy work clothes or jeans and tees – not a whole lot in between so I err on the dressy side more often than not. Plus it makes me feel pretty!
My favorite reason to get dolled up is because I feel so much better when I do. It makes everything seem smoother :)
I loved to get all dolled up for dates with the hubby :)

I must must must have this skirt–as in I don’t know what i would do without it! AND I am the exact same size as you, so its basically meant to be.
Hmmm, I love to get all dolled up anytime I have some time away from my messy toddler. The hubby deserves to see me cute every now and then–I also like to put more “dolled up” effort into my Church outfits.
You are so talented and look beautiful in this outfit :)

Date night! WITHOUT kids! ;)
I ♥ getting dolled up because I get that cute little look from my husband, when I get dressed up to go out… which rarely happens with my kiddo! I Love his smile when he is excited to go out with his wife!
I am a new follower to your blog!!
I get all dolled up for church and date nights out with the hubby.
I follow and LOVE your blog… :)
Why do I get dolled up? I don’t do it often, but when I do, it makes me feel so fabulous! I am a school teacher and a mother of two… did I mention I’m only 4’11, so I don’t always think I can pull off the hip fashion that’s walking the runways these days. Lovin’ your style!
Just found you at LMM’s recommendation and you are too adorable! I am smitten with your fabulous skirt and of course would LOVE to have one of my own! :) I dress up everyday for work, but I really like to get all dolled up for a date with my husband or a fun night out with the girls!
And I am your newest follower–YAY!

Oh Yes Please! This is so awesome! I only get dressed up for church and dates with my awesome hubby. And I LOVE your blog. I am 5 feet…ok, more like 4’11” tall, but who can really tell and I have…ahem…some hips on me. I can’t wait to see how you find clothes to fit your body. I need some serious help! Off to read!

Just found your blog – adorable! Date nights and church are my times to get dolled up. Being a mom to 5 doesn’t allow me much in the way of “dolling up” events!
new follower from little miss mama. I love what I’m seeing!
I love getting dolled up because I dont get to very much anymore. I have 6 month old twins & a 3 year old. After taking care of them, my husband, the house, theres not much time for getting prettied
OH MY GOODNESS! that is SO amazing! i love getting dolled up with worship God and date my husband. :)
I love to get dolled up when I am going out with my sisters! It is fun to get ready together and then strut our stuff together!:)

I get all fancied up so my darling, Sasha can spend some QT with her Nana and I can spend some QT with My Sweet. Is there a better reason? Love the skirt!!
I love getting all dolled up for a night out with my girls. Always being at home with a toddler makes me extra excited to wear my cute stuff.

My favorite reason to get dolled up? When my husband takes me on a date!

these days i feel like the grocery store (perhaps my one outing of the day) is worth getting dolled up for :)
I’m following :)
Amazing!!! I like to get dressed up for church or date night! You’re so cute!
This outfit is the start of finding the “old me.” You see when I had my little boy (4.5 years ago) it was my proudest moment as a mommy, but also my most difficult. Big baby, small lady and pushing for 3.5 hours didn’t mix for my body. So I was left with a wonderful, beautiful, fantastic and HEALTHY baby boy! Yeah!
But also a very unhappy body for me. I had footdrop, a stretched nerve, back issues and later RSD and fibromyalgia. To me this outfit makes me remember and appreciate the time when I could dress up and feel beautiful! So thank you for listening to my tale and if nothing else let it bring awareness to RSD. Have a great day!
By the way, I am a follower. Don’t worry, I am in therapy for it! :)
I love to get dolled up to show people that you can dress nice from Goodwill and yard sales.
Love love love your style and would so love to get a skirt made by you!!! I love getting dolled up because I am to a momma of 3 and sometimes it’s “Just because”!!

I love getting dolled up when I know I’m going to see my boyfriend. He lives an hour away from school and two hours away from home, so I like to make his drive worth while by not being in sweat pants when he gets to where ever I am.
My favorite time to get dolled up is for a date with my husband! Love your blog!
I am now a follower!

I love to get dolled up whenever I can. I just had my second baby and I am looking to start dolling up regularly again. I love your blog (because I am petite too)!
My biggest reason to get dolled up is church! Sadly haha. But I love to get dressy for a date, whenever we have the chance to go on one.

I love getting dolled up all summer long. Its just something about the weather and the cute shoes that makes me wanna pull out a cute dress just to go to the Farmers Market! Love it!
I found your blog through Little Miss Momma. You are the most stylish mom I have ever seen!
I wish I could doll up and accessorize as well as you.That way I can find a husband and be a mom too!
I love getting dolled up just cause it can make a regular day seem more extraordinary. And who doesn’t like to feel beautiful while you are doing the dishes, making dinner, or changing your 3 month olds super poopy diaper.

I get dolled up, because it makes me feel Lovely; and it makes my Husband very happy!
I am a follower as well.
I cannot believe you made this! You are SO talented! I would love to wear this as one of my first post-pregnancy outfits. I’m pregnant with my FIRST BABY (1 day overdue!), so my little boy could be arriving any day now. I would love to get all dolled up in a cute dress like this for church, a date, or…oooh! Family pictures! :)
I’m a new follower to your blog, and I think you are just so cute and sweet. Let’s be bff ;)
I love getting dolled up for no reason at all ~ I rarely have the opportunity, and I love dressing up just when I’m having a good day
I think my first comment got deleted:( My Husband is the favourite reason to get dolled up:)
I love this look! I was wondering where you got your patterns?
I am just a jeans and t shirt girl… so to get dolled up on go the heels and the lipstick :) I just stumbled upon your blog tonight! You are so talented!
I think Blogger ate my first entry :(
My second entry is still up, so here is my first entry again: I like to get dolled up whenever I want to feel pretty, no matter the time, place or occasion!
I love getting dolled up just for myself. Love the feeling of looking cute and knowing it! I must say you have to know how cute you look in this skirt and man, oh man, I want one!
I follow you!
Just started reading your blog and I’m pretty much obsessed! I would love one of your skirts. I grew up in Scottsdale but met my husband at school in Provo and he is now a dairy farmer and we live in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE Idaho! But it’s what he loves and I’m supporting him in this! Every once in a while we make the 25 minute drive into town for dinner with our little boy and I love to get dressed up for that! :)
And I’m a follower!
I get dolled up for my fellas (Jim (hubby), Jimmy teenager ( it is always easier when your Mom is trendy), and Alex 10 (looking good makes it easier when advocating for his Autism Rights). I also love to sew and create all while building our family memories. Love your blog just stumbled upon it this past week.

I love to get dolled up because it makes me smile. Plus I love to twirl in skirts and dresses!
I’m a follower!
Getting dolled up just to show off! With a fabulous dress and new lipstick, and have people ask why you’re so dressed up and you get to say “no reason” :)
I like to get dolled up anytime…usually going to work, but on the weekend with the hubs I like to doll it up, too.
My favorite reason to get dolled up is date night with my hubby!
I’m a follower!
and I do follow your lovely blog!
I found your blog through LMM.
I have 4 small kids and never get dolled up.
But my husband and I would like to start going on date nights – perfect reason!
I just started following thanks to Little Miss Momma and love your blog! you are adorable and so is your family! Love the striped outfits from Easter and this amazing skirt!

I just moved to NYC a little less than a year ago and I’ve found that getting dolled up gives me an extra skip in my step walking the streets of the city! It’s great to feel glam. :)

My favorite reason to get dressed up is to hang out with my awesome husband!
I am officially a formal “follower”. I’ve been following your blog for a while now. Your cute mom led me this direction and I’ve been loving your la vie petite posts. I would love to get a version of your cute and modest dress! Thanks for the great posts!

Please let me win! I just recently found your blog, and you have totally inspired me to rediscover the skills I learned in high school sewing class! I love the stuff you make! It’s adorable!
Also, I love getting dolled up because I think you feel differently. You behave differently in a skirt or a dress than you would in pants. I like feeling lady like and refined. It’s the best!
It’s so fun putting the whole ansemble together. It’s the most fun seeing the final outsome!
