This morning I had to throw out my favourite skirt. I took it out of the washing machine and realised I could no longer fight the holes that keep appearing in the dark blue jersey it is made from. It is calf length, cut on the bias and has a very flattering flared shape. I have worn it with its matching top to many formal dinner parties, and teamed with a T shirt for all sorts of occasions. It is 8 years old, so it has done well, but I shall miss it terribly. RIP old friend.
