Fabric Mitosis

Worn: November 12, 2012

I love accordion pleated skirts. I bought two at Macy's back in July, one green, one black, but I would love to have them in several more colors. I came across this skirt at Sears last week. The fabric texture is identical to that of the Macy's skirts, which is not too surprising, since both Grane and True Freedom are part of the Jones Group, along with half a dozen other brands I've worn. This skirt was much longer than the others though, so I carefully measured seven inches up all the way around the bottom and trimmed it. All three skirts use raw edges, as the material doesn't fray. And since I love to have matching items, I decided to repurpose the bottom of the skirt as an infinity scarf.
