Connect The Dots
I don’t just have a crush on full girly skirts, I’m kinda obsessed with them.

Since I’m a huge fan of those fun, full and flirty skirts, I decided why not add them to my little KTRcollection. This skirt is so much fun and I felt like a total girly girl when I wore it this weekend. The bold polka dots against the bright white fabric really pop. I can’t wait to pair it with a floral top or a loose cotton purple top tucked snugly in the waist.
I think people tend to shy away from full skirts because of added unwanted pounds, but it actually wouldn’t if the cut was right. The waistband has to be perfectly situated on the smallest of the waist and the pleats has to start out at the right place with enough volume for that added flare. If you’re slender, these skirts will give you shape, and if you’re thick and beautiful, these skirt will accentuate your curves.
What are your thoughts on full skirts?

Hi Tien,
It’s actually pretty decent, soft faux leather and the gold plate and spikes are very nice in person.
I saw you post this outfit on Facebook (as well as your friends’ AMAZING nail interpretation of it) and I was simply blown away!! I still can’t believe you sew so many of your own pieces. You have serious talent, lady! I love how you went along with bigger polka dots instead of the typical smaller ones that are so popular. It definitely has a unique spin to it, and is true a reflection of your “do-as-I-please” attitude ;)
Love as always! xo Ana
This is so adorable! perfect for summer! As a new blogger it is such an inspiration!
I would love for you to check out my new blog and let me know what you think!

I was already loving this look and then I saw the nail polish! What a fun, unexpected pop of color :) I’m in agreement with you… I like a full skirt but the cut has to be just right! This one looks great on you!

SUCH a cute skirt. I need a lot more of these feminine pieces. But I always feel like it takes so much effort to “dress up” especially on the girlier side. I’m much more comfy in a pair of jeans and a loose tee! You make feminine look so effortless though that I want to raid your closet!! (as you already know.)
KT, this has got to be my favorite DIY of yours to date! Each one just tops the other. This skirt is so fun and girly!
This is super cute ;) You’re so talented, I can’t believe you made that yourself!
I actually like full skirts as they hide my thighs, but I hardly ever wear them in Sydney (too windy!)
Thanks for visiting my blog – I love yours! x
That skirt is SO SO SO CUTE! I can’t believe you made it yourself! It look so professional and well-made, and it suits you to a T! If I wasn’t trying to save money from shopping right now, I would have already ordered one. :)

Another beautiful creation, KT! You might have to quit your day job :) I’m all for a full skirt and as long as the proportions are right, I think the fullness really works to play up a feminine figure. I’m loving your hair styled half straight like this too!

Thanks Marisa and I wish I can quite the day job to sew and make things all day long, it’d def be a dream come true. (pshh, I hope the boss isn’t reading this! :)
I absolutely love your skirt!! I actually wore a full skirt with my neon shoes, too! I just haven’t posted it up yet. :) I love the polka dotted one. I’m gonna go check out your collection because you just combined two of the things that I absolutely love — polka dots & full skirts! HAHA! Amazing shoes, too!! :) As always, an amazing look. You’re such an inspiration!
Another amazing look! You are such a talented seamstress/designer. Definitely want one of your skirts now! Do you make this one in other fabrics?
Hey Tam! I sure do, what colors/ pattern do you have in mind?
I’m also a huge fan of full skirts – they’re so much fun! …those polka dots are also amazing :)
That skirt is so cute. You are really a talented designer. Do you sew yourself?
Love the shoes also.

XOXO

This skirt is simply adorable! I love the whole outfit…you have such great style.

This whole outfit is absolutely gorgeous!! The gold belt is just icing on the cake!! I adore everything you have on! One of the BEST I have seen featured on your blog (well of course everything you’ve worn looks so great!)
Holy gorgeousness, love! Seriously, you are amazing!! Talented and beautiful wrapped up in a little bombshell beauty. :) This skirt is so much fun! I just knew it was something you MADE before even reading your outfit deets. It’s made to perfection. I love the super oversized polka dots. I def want to make one for myself now. And I agree these types of skirts flatter every figure… it just comes down to tailoring and porportion.
And yay, we’re shoe twinsies!! Although, I have yet to wear my mint ones. haha. Happy Monday-ing, love.
xx Love & Aloha

SO pretty, KT! Omg, I’m so in love with this look! And I was mildly in disbelief as I read further to discover that you made that skirt! You’re so talented! Anyway, I’m super digging these beyond perfect golden hour shots (Nate’s getting so good at snapping you!) and I really like the sweetly classic cardigan and full skirt juxtaposed against the fierce spiked metal belt and the too-cool gold/black sandals (love those, btw!).
xoxo,
