So, this is one of the things Craig picked out during our “their choice” challenge and said “this is horrible” *sob* Oh dear, but I could see it was true… the last few times I’ve worn it I’ve subconsciously hidden it under a long tunic because yep, it’s got pretty darn shabby. But I loved it so and it was so useful!!! It’s been thoroughly appreciated and loved to death in fact, I’ve already done a 6 different ways post on this very same skirt in its previous life as a yellow skirt!
You know what though, I don’t actually mind getting rid of things, even old favourites! because you do get into a bit of a rut and get to wearing the same old same old over and over and over … it’s a stagnation of sorts and one should shake it up every now and again, get rid of the old and force oneself to wear other, newer things. Also, it’s spring and I’m in the mood for spring cleaning.
Speaking of that! I finally updated and wrote something in my “about me” page!! it’s only taken me, like 8 years or so… hehe. Have a read and please let me know what you think..
OK, my favourite ensembles with this skirt…
at left: worn in a 100%self-made outfit, with my triangles jumper, my navy blue tights, and my handmade winter boots… and there is my dear old Sienna of course.
This jumper is one of those wardrobe prima donnas that actually goes with but a mere select few things, so the caramel skirt, which went so nicely with it, is going to be a big hole in its life 
at right; in anther 100% self-made outfit…worn with my forest green twist top, mustard cowl, piped trench coat, charcoal knitted gloves, black tights and again my handmade boots
at left; another 100% self-made outfit… with my ivory sweater, my caramel suede jacket, black tights and the same handmade boots. This outfit was part of my third time joining in the one week one pattern thing, where I chose Vogue 1247, of course! I’ve made up this pattern STACKs of times!
at right; wearing it with my olive suedette Burda tunic, my over dyed Nettie Tshirt, a scarf knitted by Mum, my over dyed tights, my olive green knitted socks, and rtw olive desert boots, long term favourites Actually I really love this outfit A LOT
at left; in a 100% self-made outfit, worn with my snuggly chocolate jumper, bright green knitted hand-warmers, my ivory infinity cowl, my black tights, and once again, my handmade boots.
at right, this is probably one of my all time favourite ensembles with the skirt, worn with my mustard Miette hand knit, my raspberry scarf, black tights… no doubt I had a self-made Tshirt on underneath but I can’t remember now! Those boots are my rtw ones though…
