I bought some white knit a while back planning on making something....I just couldn't remember what.  But when I searched through H&M looking for a thick striped navy and white skirt with no luck, I knew just what to use it for.  I cut out a white pencil skirt and a navy one (just like this one).  I knew I wanted 5 thick stripes for the skirt, so I divided the length of the skirt (minus seam allowance) and cut up the two skirts into thick strips about 5 1/2" wide.  Then I serged each stripe together to create this skirt.  The nice thing is that I was left with the pieces to make a second skit just like this, with the stripes just opposite.

Coral is one of my favorite colors to wear.  On our trip down to California this summer I packed 5 coral shirts....and wore all of them regularly.  I think of coral as a grown up pink.  This statement necklace adds the right amount of "grown up pink" to a look.
