clothes for comment

I have recently purchased a new skirt which I like very much. It is of a certain length and a certain colour. Those who know me well can probably pretty much visualise it – most of my ‘new’ things morph into my existing wardrobe with barely a ripple. However, this one is a little different. In accordance with current trends it has been cut with an asymmetrical hemline. Never has an apparel purchase caused such comment from the general public. If I had a dollar for every time someone delicately mentioned that my hem was falling down (to which I point out that it is a design feature) I would be a rich woman – or at least able to afford to buy a less commentable-upon skirt!
