Skirt Fetish

I have a name for my obsession....SKIRT FETISH!!!!  I have been slowly, ok not TOO slowly, collecting a massive amount of skirts.  Skirts are good to me.  With my granny arms, I find dresses hard to fit but a cute skirt can usually be found AND I get my true size.  I do not have to get a larger size JUST for those wavey granny arms.

It is true I love skirts from each season but something about a soft cotton skirt from spring makes me happy.  I buy several every spring, I just can not help it.  I do not care where they come from, I buy them from Nieman's, Chico, Wal Mart, and this year I discovered Goodwill has them so inexpensive that I can have a new skirt for each day of spring.

Because I had such a hard time leaving a skirt behind AND I have so many that are too big or too small...I am going to sell some on eBay.  Since I have so many each are barely worn and just sitting in boxes.  I need the space, the cash will be nice, and I would rather pass them on to someone who can love them.

Here are some recent skirts I have found while at Goodwill.  Some are great brands.

Izod 20

Casual Corner 14

Tevan 14

Dress Barn 18

Faded Glory 16

Nicole Miller 10

Avenue Blues 18

Cold Water Creek 20

Were them with a soft sweater twin set in early spring or a stretchy T or tank top when the sun gets warmer.  Casual or dressy and perfect to pack in a tote for a romantic weekend away.  Skirts are the perfect item of clothing.

Recycle an Old Child Sized Sweater into Dog Couture!!!!

Goodwill was having an "all orange tags" sale day which made this cute little snowflake sweater 1.00.  I had an idea...and for 1.00 and this cute sweater, I could not pass up the chance to see if I could make it work.

Dixie Lee has outgrown all but ONE of her little doggie sweaters.  She is getting to be quiet the chubster in her golden years.  With the bad weather we have been experiencing in Texas her cute little pink sweater was not cutting it...this old gal likes to play and roll around to get her "scent" on things and the sweater was always dirty.  She needed more in her wardrobe, plus a gal likes variety.

I took the cute snowflake sweater, cut off the arms, hemmed the armholes, and cut a little slit at the neckline, on the back.  I wanted the snowflakes to be on HER back but this was made to be on a CHILD's front, so I did a wee adjustment and turned this cutie around.  I also had to make an adjustment at the bottom so her girlie parts had freedom...to not make a mess of the bottom of the sweater.

Why pay 20 bucks for Doggie Couture?  Recycle a cute child's sweater!!!!
