The Perfect Skirt

[Sally Stone]

A long time ago, I owned a skirt that was an absolute favorite.  It was made of medium-blue denim, was midi-length, and it buttoned from waist to hem, with the buttons placed off-center, so they aligned with my left leg.  I could undo as many buttons as I liked to show off as much leg as I wanted, a great way to alter the sexy factor as needed.  It had a high waist and was cut like a pencil-skirt.  It resulted in an extremely feminine style, that was versatile.  I could dress it up with a nice blouse and pumps or, I could make it more casual with a simple pull-over and boots.  No matter how I chose to wear it, it always looked sexy; quite simply, it was the perfect skirt. 

 

Being so versatile, I wore it all the time. Ultimately, though, I stopped wearing it because I grew out of it.  It was back when I was in great running shape, so I was quite thin.  Anyway, after years of holding onto it thinking I’d someday get back down to that running weight, I reconciled I’d never be that fit ever again, so at some point, I let the skirt go.

 

Since then, I have been on the lookout for something similar.  In all the years of searching, I had been unable to find anything like it, or anything even similar.  Oh, there were always skirts I’d see online that looked similar, but they were always out-of-stock, or no longer available.  I have ordered several other skirts, that looked good, only to find that what I ordered didn’t resemble what I saw online, or the fit was awful.

 

I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that my favorite denim skirt was a one-of-a-kind, a style and cut I was never going to see repeated.  Then, while perusing another online clothier, I stumbled upon a skirt that reminded me of my old favorite.  Clearly, it was different, but there were similarities.  There were no asymmetrical buttons.  Instead, the skirt had a conventional, centered button, zipper combination.  However, the cut of the skirt was similar, with a high-waist and pencil-skirt style.  It was midi-length and instead of an asymmetrical slit like my old skirt, this one had a center slit.  It definitely wasn’t the same, but it was close enough, so I thought it might be a reasonable replacement. 

 

This new skirt was in-stock, and it came in my size, so I ordered it without a second thought.  Waiting for it to be delivered, I kept hoping this purchase wouldn’t be like all the others.  Would it look like the skirt shown in the ad; would it fit me; these were the questions going through my head as I waited anxiously for it to arrive.

 

Wow!  Finally, I have a new denim skirt that rivals the old one.  Again, it’s not exactly the same, but it is close enough style-wise to make me very happy. It fits perfectly, giving me a sexy silhouette, and it looks great.  I guess the moral of this story is to stay diligent and never say never.

This is definitely very fashionable and all-around useful skirt. As I am looking to expand my wardrobe, this gives me a good idea what I might be missing ?

Thank  you for sharing.

I wonder if this can be found in shorter lengths, working on your legs and not to show them is a sin 

?
