Turn your favorite black long cardigan into a skirt
















Ladies Cardigan Sweaters are so fun and versatile.  They make the perfect finishing touch to any outfit.  One of my favorite new ways that I’ve discovered how to wear a lime green cardigan is as a skirt!  This is cute and economical.  You can use just about any thin cardigan.  Just make sure you have some thin shorts or spandex in case a button comes undone.  Here’s how:
First, tie it around your waist.  Next, button up all the buttons to the top.  Gather it and tuck it in under where you tied the sleeves.  Tie the sleeves as tight as you need it to be and tie a flat neat knott.  Gather one of the sleeves and tuck it up under on the side and then bring it around to the back and tuck it into the back.  Keep the material as flat as possible to avoid it looking bulky and chunky.  Its fine if it’s a little gathered on the sides.  Next, take the other sleeve toward the top because that’s where the direction of the tie is.  Tuck inside of the top part on the back.  Make sure to blend everything in and try to flatten as much as possible so you can’t tell there are sleeves on it.  You can wear your new cardigan skirt as low or high as you want but I prefer to wear it high on my back.  If you notice gaps where the buttons are, twist the “skirt” off to your side and fix it as much as you can to minimize the gap.
Light thin Knitted Cardigans work best for this.  As I mentioned, you may have some gaping between the buttons and if this is a major issue, try a long cardigan with a lot of small buttons.  Boyfriend cardigans might work but the button gap may be an issue.  If you don’t have a cardigan that will work well you can always find Cheap Cardigans at Fzillion.com that will work.
