Day Forty Three

Working in the frost.  I really like this skirt - the colour is great and the fullness is perfect. However, it has a kind of paper bag waist - there is a gusset on one side with ties which you pull the skirt together with. Only hitch is that it does not stay up so you feel it gently lowering itself and a rising panic that you won't get to the ties in time! I have remedied this with a trusty elastic snaffle belt (look at that! Snaffle and gusset in the same paragraph) It spoils the silhouette somewhat but that can't be helped. Skirt is by long time favourite Marni http://www.marni.com/, top by h&m http://www.hm.com/ - it's dangerous to have them online!
