Modeling Tulle Skirts for SisterMag

A few weeks ago, the lovely girls from Sister Mag came to Dublin! I’ve been pestering them to come visit for two years now, so I was so glad to show them around Dublin! While they were in town, Thea and Toni asked me to do a little modelling for them. Little did I know they’d convince me to spend a day modelling tulle skirts around Dublin sisterMAG-Emily-Skirts-4a

One of the neatest things about Sister Mag is that each issue contains patterns so you can make the creations they have modelled. Such a clever idea! The other amazing thing about Sister Mag is that the patterns are created by their incredibly talented seamstress and designer mother. The Sister Mag sisters often wear her designs in their daily lives, which you can see on Instagram sisterMAG-Emily-Skirts-7a sisterMAG-Emily-Skirts-11a

 

I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about the crop top (I’m 30! Can 30 year olds even wear crop tops?!), but it totally won me over in the end. It buttons up the back, so it’s on trend with some added interest. The key, apparently, is a high waisted skirt paired with a crop top so you only barely bare your midriff!

Sister Mag 13 contains a whole lot of features from talented Irish people like Nathalie and Ajda, so you’ll want to click over for a read!

    You look gorgeous Emily! Blue is definitely your colour, but the grey skirt with black top, you look smoking hot. The dress, the hair, everything is perfect!
