I spend so much time talking about my own projects on the Internet that sometimes even I get exhausted. So, I’m implementing THINGS TO LOVE TUESDAYS, where I will highlight other people’s projects and awesomeness!

First up:

ETSY SHOP LINK

When I finish the first draft of a manuscript, I buy myself a little treat for getting through it sane and mostly intact. When I finished the #BathTimeNovel, I thought that this skirt would be an appropriate present for myself!

Pros:

• POCKETS!
• Nice subtle colours which make it very easy to pair with pretty much any colour top you like.
• Did I mention pockets?
• Elastic waistband is thick and sturdy, so it doesn’t roll or dig, and looks like a belt. I’ve found you can easily pin a brooch to it as well, to dress it up.
• Could be ironed but doesn’t really need to be if you line-dry it.
• P-O-C-K-E-T-S
• The seller was courteous, quick, and professional.
• …pockets
• The quality of the sewing is top-notch. This is a well made garment.
• It is cute as all get out, and I totally plan to wear it to the #BathTimeNovel book launch whenever that happens.

Cons:

• I gave the wrong waist measurement, so it was a bit too big. Luckily, it was easy to tack the elastic waistband smaller.
• The washing instructions are a bit fiddly – you have to hand wash, line dry, and iron inside out to maintain the print.
• No lining.(But it’s not a very staticy material, so that’s good. I’ve found my tucked-in shirt-tails are sufficient to hide underwear lines)
• The material is only printed in one size, so there’s no way to request a longer skirt.
