Schoolgirl

Red turtleneck sweater, Banana Republic (thrifted). Plaid skirt, Lloyd (thrifted). Black tights, Danskin. Black belt, Xhilaration. Silver hoops with jet beads, Liz Claiborne. Black boots, Jennifer Moore.

I’m pretty sure that this skirt was originally a school uniform item. I bought it, with four other skirts, at a thrift store (Village Discount Outlet) on Saturday. The skirts were something of a gamble because the store has no dressing rooms and takes no returns or exchanges. Four out of the five skirts fit. I count this skirt as a “fit,” but, honestly, I don’t have it zipped up all the way or buttoned in the back! Zipped or not, I received lots of compliments today.
