Mama Reworks It!: A Gypsy in a Short Skirt

Once upon a time, I loved this skirt. 

I wore it a lot while I was pg. 

( pg: How my mother-in-law indicates pregnancy, usually in a hushed whisper.)

After giving birth, I was suddenly aware that it was way too short for a long skirt. 

Think this sudden realization had something to do with being able to see my feet again? 

Gosh, I wonder who all I grossed out by unknowingly exposing my pregnant/bloated ankles? 

You know what you people can do RIGHT??

Look away. 

That's right. Just. look. away. if it bothers you so much. 

Gosh. Some people.

But I loved the skirt so much, I couldn't bring myself to get rid of it. 

But I never wore it. 

Sound familiar? 

I finally came to my senses and just cut it in half.  

What did I have to lose? 

(One long, but not long enough skirt, that I never wore.)

Then, I hemmed it, which was pretty easy since the skirt came with built in straight lines (see above).

And now, I love it enough to actually put it on! 

 Chuck has declared this skirt, paired with a fitted white t-shirt, his "favorite outfit" for me.
Only now, I can never wear it because my Mathews County water has turned all of my white shirts orange.
More on that maddening reality in a future post.
