THE TRAVELLING YELLOW SKIRT LOOKS LIKE SNOW
At the end of the day, all I can say is that I had a blast styling the yellow skirt! When I first received it, I was a bit surprised to see the Joe Fresh label. You know how I love me my Joe Fresh clothing, but I’m pretty sure I would have given this skirt a wide berth had I seen it in the store. It’s only a size 4, and it’s a whole lot of skirt. The fact that I feel like a princess wearing it is proof that surrendering to positivity really does work! While out taking these photos, the mister and I encountered many people out walking with their children and their dogs. I was delighted to see that the littles were completely enchanted…one little guy was stopped in his tracks, a few called me by name, and even the dogs saw me as a kindred spirit. A very good afternoon it was…and, as promised, the yellow skirt is once again on the move. Where, you ask? It’s enroute to the ever creative Pao of Project Minima! Pao, I can not wait to see your inspired version!
Okay, that’s all for now. I’m so happy you stopped by. Here is Melanie’s page with a complete list, photos and links to all of the previous yellow skirt wearers. Please do check them out.
EDIT: Is the Travelling Yellow Skirt for you? Of course it is! A big thank you to Shelley of Forest City Fashionista for handling the yellow skirt’s travel schedule. And for those that hesitate after reading size 4…do not fear. It has a draw string waist, and the skirt is voluminous. It’s also long enough for the leggiest of you. If you must know, I had to use a prop in my photos, LOL. All righty, further details and Shelley’s email are on Melanie’s page. Oh, and thanks ever so much for all your wonderful comments! I will be replying and answering questions as soon as I’m able. xo

How fantastical! : ) And the photos…wow…you've really outdone yourself here.
I can see where the skirt inspires everyone to up their creativity game.
One of my all time favourites for the skirt. Simply magical.
You must frame some of these photos for the wall in your sewing room. They are so delightful and full of whimsy. Needless to say…I loved this post! : )

OMG! I'm still trying to close my mouth ….

Sue, I'm verklempt, as I said I get sometimes. I'm laughing because I am so enchanted by what you've done with the FYS. Clearly you felt her magical powers and they spilled deliciously over every living creature near you. The magic of the skirt and lantern even allowed you to shrink down into the size of the fairy door. Thank you for this brilliant interpretation!
PS Thanks too to The Mister for his assistance in sharing your artistic vision with us!
I love this post. The things that yellow skirt incites us into doing! I want to visit the magic forest too!
Sue, you are truly the fairest of them all in the enchanted forest. The yellow skirt casts it's spell again!!! Xxoo
Enchanting Sue! So creative and fun, I love this! Completely new take on this skirt. I appreciate the time you spent on this post, so fun for all of us to see.

That's a wonderful post, Sue! I can feel the positivity here right now on the other side of the world. The spell of the skirt works.
The pictures are wonderful and you are a marvellous good fairy. I'm not less enchanted as the children.

I came over from Sacramento's Share InStyle. I am just smitten with your outfit and gorgeous photo shoot!

That was such a joyful post. Yellow always makes me smile. I could hear Disney music playing in my head as I read your words!
Wow, this is absolutely amazing!!! Another incredibly inspired moment for the Travelling Yellow Skirt – beautifully done, Sue!
(P.S. Don't eat the apple, Snow! Noooooo!!!!!)
Great! Wonderful!! The amazing yellow skirt transformed you in a real princess! What a fantastic post today. . . I am in love with the story and the skirt looks magic ( and it seems to bring joy and friendship wherever it goes ).
It would be sooooo nice if it could arrive to Italy for some photos!!!!
I love this, you look wonderful! x
How fun! You rocked it as Snow White too. Totally enjoyed this post 🙂
Ahhh, there are no words I can add, but to say “ditto” to what everyone else has posted. Amazing!, Magical! over the top. You should win the best blog evah for the year, Sue.

Sue, you are magical! I believe in positivity, and you have reaffirmed my faith! In fact, that prayer of the woods brought a tear to my eye – those trees are such strong sentinels and they were doing their best poses for your photo shoot.
But you really steal the show! I love seeing Snow White grown up into a woman of style, and I love your calm and smiling face. Thanks for bringing magic to my weekend!
such a cool Snow White!

What a wonderfully imaginative styling of the TYS, Sue – you make a gorgeous Snow White! Fabulous photos, especially love the long shot of you under that spectacular tree, and the fairy door, of course. xxxx
I love the fairy tale version of the skirt – great styling of a grown-up Snow White, and kudos to the Mister for some really gorgeous photos. The light is amazing, and the forest background is perfect!
How totally fun Sue! I wish we lived closer…I think we'd be besties 🙂 Great pics!
I happened here by accident and I really like your blog.
This post is fantastic and amazing pictures!!!

Wau….me encantan estas fotos y este look cenizienta.
Un beso
Sue, you ARE Snow White! I just love what you've done – so magical. I'm surprised JF did a skirt like this as it doesn't seem to fit with the brand's preppy style. And I too would never have considered it in the store. It's been a great experience seeing what others hVe done with it. And thanks for backstory. I commented on that initial post early on, and missed the hoopla that followed completely. Not sure how I did … Xo
Ahhh, what a delightful post, Sue. You did Snow White and the Yellow Skirt proud in one of the best renditions ever. A great combo and a great woods to be able to play it out in. wow. Can't wait to see the TYS in person for the holidays.
This is so nice!!! I had heard about the yelllow skirt on Melanie's blog but did not know what it was about. Thanks for explaining. I think you have done a wonderful job. I love every bit of it. You remind me of Snow White.
I greedily was thinking… could this skirt make it abroad? To The Netherlands? But then you said it is a size 4.. my waist is 8-10. Which would mean I have to leave it open quite a bit.
Oh and by the way.. there is a sentence in your story: You know how I love me my Joe Fresh clothing, but I'm prett”. Should the “me” be in this sentence?
Greetje
Absolutely, the skirt travels the globe! I know that bloggers in the UK are patiently awaiting their turns, and Dan of Italy has hinted at some interest too! Do add your name to the list Greetje! We'd love to see it styled in your inimitable style. And you caught me on poor English…the me is intended and as we say in English, it is called slang. A stylized method of speech.
Thank Pao! Just this moment tracked the packet…it's stateside now and estimated to arrive on your doorstep Tuesday! Enjoy it!
Thanks Kelly! If I recall, you've been some busy yourself with a very special *project* for the past year and then some! When I read the skirt label, I said….Joe, what were you thinking?, LOL.
Oh, and I meant to say that the skirt will fit many, many sizes! Voluminous and a draw-stringed waist make it very flexible.
Your photos aND how you styled this skirt are utterly fantastic! Love the fairy tale theme–xoxo
Yup, you are truly awesome.
Magical! A real fairy door too! You have done justice to the Traveling Skirt, and then some. Thanks for sharing the magic with Visible Monday. xox
Sue! I love this:) i love the yellow skirt:)i love the photos :)amazing:)))) kisses Beata
It is truly a magical skirt, inspiring such fabulousness! You look amazing, and what a perfect West Coast setting. I love the little fairy door, and that shot of the tree with the reaching branches made me gasp out loud. Wonderful!
Wow, wow, wow, wow, WOW! Magical! Absolutely perfect Sue!
Love this magical forest photo shoot! You're like Snow White! The lantern is amazing (and what a match). I've been half-following the story for the skirt and I was thrilled to find it on Not Dead Yet today.
Magical photos, Sue. You've surely made me smile and feel a childlike wonder in your fairytale.
Now, that's YELLOW! You look like a modern day Snow White (don't eat that apple!!!) and the back ground is just perfect. I wish we have forest like that here.. instead we have sand 🙁

Oh, this is wonderful! It's amazing how evocative the color scheme is, and utterly brilliant of you to have thought of it. I love your props, your forest, and your smile as you're clearly enjoying styling the skirt. 😀 I enjoy this skirt more with every iteration of creative ladies wearing it to the max.
Snow white! you are Snow White! I am right? love what you did with the skirt!
The woods so brilliant, is it near your home?
I know it's a lot of material that skirt, it was way too long for me too!

Wonderful! You are indeed a modern day Snow White in the travelling skirt, such beautiful dreamy photos of you here. I adore how you're styled the skirt. Sorry not to find this post earlier, but it was well worth the discovery!
Oh my Gosh, oh my gosh, OH MY GOSH!!! Sue, I love this soooo much!! What a fantastic interpretation of the yellow skirt!! You look amazing as snow, even better since your hair is the color of sun rather than a Ravens wing!
Emalina, it's always a pleasure when you are able to stop by and say hello! Thank you!
Alyssa!! Thank you for your sweet comments! It's so nice to have you stop by and say hello.
I recognized Snow White before I even read the post…your pictures are so there. I love how engaging you are with the camera…playfully pretty. Delightful to scroll thru and take it all in!
