I have to confess that I rarely wear skirts these days (actually, you’ve probably realised that if you’re a regular reader!). This month’s Style Not Age theme of full skirts (chosen by Jacqui) gave me the push I needed to switch things up a bit. I do have lots of skirts, even though I live in trousers.
I’ve had this brocade skirt for about six years and have featured it twice before on the blog (here and here). No matter how I store it, it never creases, which is a major plus. And it has pockets! Previously, I’ve paired the skirt with a dark top, but this time I opted for bright pink. This top was an end of sale bargain a few years ago – reduced to £5 because of a mark, which came out in the wash. I grabbed a hat because Storm Bert hadn’t fully fizzled out and there was still a bit of rain in the air. First snow, then wind and rain, followed by bright sunshine this morning! I’ll take anything but rain!

Gail found the skirt, by Apricot, for just £3.25 (with a necklace included!) in a charity shop in Plymouth. Great choice Gail – I have this skirt too! Everything else she shopped from her wardrobe. Catch up with Gail at Is This Mutton.
