Today's Skirt: Ochre

I bought this 1950s skirt from Beyond Retro's website for the grand sum of £9. It was listed as a 1990s midi skirt but I doubted that when I saw the print and spied the metal zip and label on the zoomed in photos. I debated returning it because of the poor condition but decided to repair it instead because I love yellow.

1950s Skirt - Beyond Retro
Scarf - Vintage Clothing. Lipstick - Neve Chocolate Eclair
Earrings - M&S
Belt - Beyond Retro
Cardigan - Yumi
Top - Topshop
1950s Bracelet - Blighty Bazaar
Sandals - Clarks

No more fraying!
I sewed up the holes and resewed the button and press stud.
I mended several tears.
Like this one...
And this one.
