\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This week, I planned on making a skirt and realized that I should take inventory of what I actually have in my closet. It turns out I own six skirts, five of which I’ve made and none of which I wear regularly. Instead of jumping into sewing another skirt I might not wear, I thought I ought to see if any of them are worth keeping.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Out of all the skirts, this one has gotten the most wear, but only during the fall\/winter season. I made it a few years ago, using some wool tweed from my mom, and the fabric is uber high quality. Even after multiple washes, it still looks new. This was one of the first sewing projects for myself so my stitchery is questionable, but it’s a nice, inoffensive and neutral piece. I used Simplicity 2451<\/a>\u00a0and it was an ideal beginner pattern.<\/p>\n

I’m still not sure if I’m a skirt person. I’ve come to love dresses, but that’s because I don’t have to think about coordinating anything. I’m wondering if the flared skirt style may be past its expiration date, and I’m switching things up around here and seeing how the skirt looks with different RTW tops. I ran out of steam after four tops, but I think the skirt still has a little more life left in it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I like it with the charcoal grey top best. And I think it’s cozy-looking with the caftan-style sweater, scarf and boots:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m thinking I’ll try this ensemble testing with my other handmade skirts to see what works and what doesn’t…I’m also sewing new stuff too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
