Don’t you just love this beautiful real leather, tan coloured, asymmetric skirt, I did, that is until I put my thumb nail through it as I tried to pull it down as it was riding up on my way to work!

Yep, I put a big hole in it right near my bum, and then I had to walk around work all day like that, I must have looked very stylish and sophisticated, not to mention very professional! Thank goodness I was wearing charcoal opaques!

This skirt is a little small, hence the riding up, but I have lost a couple of kgs this week, and was excited to be able to squeeze back into it again, especially as it looks so fantastic with blue (orange loves blue don’t you know!) and I have so much blue in my wardrobe, not to mention how easy it is to wear this skirt with my tan boots and necklace!

So what to do now? I paid a whopping $250 for this beauty, I can’t give up hope yet that it can be fixed. I was thinking I could get the talented Miss Rue over at the Tailors Room to perhaps sew a black strip of leather along the bottom, what do you think Rue, would that work? My husband suggested a patch on the inside, not sure about that, but open to any suggestions or recommendations!
