hello again, Old Friend

This skirt and I have a long past.  I originally bought this skirt in about 2003/2004 on a Target clearance rack for about $3.50.  What a steal!  I got lots of compliments on this skirt over the years.  In fact one day, my post doc advisor (geeky engineer) stopped in my office on the way to a meeting to say "I can't stay, I'm on my way to a meeting.  I know this is out of character for me to say, but that skirt is fabulous on you, and I just had to stop in and tell you that."  But then I lost 50 pounds, and the skirt no longer fit.  It was the last item of clothing that was too big that I parted with.  I kept hoping I would have some inspiration on how to alter it, but came to the realization that it just had to go.  Then about 1.5 weeks ago, I came across this skirt on Ebay in my new smaller size!   I paid more than the first time I bought this skirt, but I know from experience that it will be worth every penny!  So excited to have it back in my closet.  I have tried to replace it a few times over the last 2 years (this being the closest).  The other zebra skirt will be heading to a Goodwill donation box, now that this one is back.
