MY NEW MAXI SKIRT IN BOLD STRIPES

Hello, dear friends, hope you are safe and doing well

 

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you might remember that I quite often mention the fact that for various reasons I am not lucky with on-line shopping for clothes.  I was so excited when Zara in Australia went on-line and I was able to buy a skirt that I saw on the rack but which was not available in my size.  It attracted my attention by its bold diagonally run wide stripes in black, white, red and bright blue colours and I thought it would be a nice addition to my skirt range.  Sadly, when it arrived and I put it on, it didn't fit properly.  Although I am a standard size M, it felt quite tight around my waist and hips so I decided to return it.

Long story short, I missed the deadline for return and had to keep the skirt.  I attributed the whole experience to a learning curve, write off the loss and move on.  Eventually, I managed to lose some weight and decided to give the skirt a second chance but it was easier said then done.

I guess, my biggest challenge was to find a top that would go well with it.  Since the skirt is belt-less, wearing something tucked in was not an option.  I tried to pair it with a loose fitting top, but it didn’t work either.  Finally, after a few failed attempts, I settled for this black short sleeve fitted top and a pair of high heel white open toe shoes.

Until then,
