The Scranton Skirt

Lately when I have hand sewing to finish, or am just feeling particularly lazy, I have been enjoying past seasons of The Office. I am a really big fan of office looks put together for Angela's character, and between laughs I took note of a couple I wanted to recreate.
I made this skirt from a men's dress shirt that I found at a flea market. They were all labeled "irregular" (the buttons weren't properly aligned) so I picked up a couple for $.50.
After a few alterations, I ended up with a cute high waisted skirt that is office appropriate. I made notes of my alteration process, which can be found on Burdastyle.

i love this! and love the inspiration. i watch the office as much as possible. during my (difficult) pregnancy, it was just about the only thing that could amke me laugh out loud. the skirt is adorable. i have been saving sa few of the button down shirts my husband has been giving away. i don't know if any would be quite appropriate for this skirt, but something to remember for the future! thanks!
