I've had grand plans and dreams in my head of making some new spring / summer skirts. It's just what we do this time of year, right? I do. I dream about getting out of heavy, winter clothes. And I start wearing the lighter spring clothes far before the weather dictates it. So I love the springtime closet clean-out, which happened this week. It led me to discover no less than 38 skirts already in the closet. 38. I was discussing the ridiculousness of this out loud to no one in particular, and deciding that, in fact, quite sadly, I had no reason whatsoever, to make a new skirt at all. When out of the blue - up perked some little ears and a little mouth, with a very matter-of-fact, "Well, Mama. You like skirts, and so you have a lot of them. Just like we like hats, and so we have a lot of them. Right?"
My Ezra-bird continued, "We have 42 hats {it's true - they counted}, and so you should have 42 skirts!" {Simple living, you ask? I guess in our house, exceptions are made for skirts and hats. And maybe a few other things too. Does it make you feel better that they're nearly all thrifted or handmade? Do you see the justification happening here?}
I'm pretty sure Ezra was issuing me a challenge, don't you think?
Kid, you're on.
The skirt inspiration is starting to gather (both from anthropologie):
Ah...Summer Skirt making season has officially begun, and I've got four skirts I need to make. I'm happy.
