Summer Clothes!

bare_bearI have very little summer clothing, mostly because I don't really like exposing my body too much. But you know, I'm sick to death of the clothes I have, and it'd be nice to be comfortable for once.
SO, on the way home today, I stopped at Phase 2, a used clothes store here in Kingston. (I try as much as possible to buy used. Not only because of the cost - since I am a broke student - but also because I believe in recycling where I can.) I not only bought 2 tops that are just darling, but I also found a skirt.
Now, I don't wear skirts that often. I've always had monster calves and awful ankles. But I like how they look on people dammit, so I figure, too bad. Plus the only person who will probably give a damn is me, and I can just suck it up already.
This skirt? It's very simple. Black, pencil skirt-ish, with two tiers of subdued black ruffles on the bottom. The impact? It has made me re-evaluate ALL the clothes in my closet! I can actually wear a lot of the tops that I couldn't wear with jeans (my usual bottom). Plus I can dress it up and down, so bonus!
And the best part? I feel good in it. Hands down, best clothing purchase this year.
Now, I wonder if I can work out the pattern and duplicate the skirt in another colour?
