Aha! Scored my cheapest garment yet, a lovely navy cotton sateen pencil skirt with white polka dots. One pound! From the Cancer Research shop reduced rail. I think it’s so cheap because someone cut out the care and brand labels, but I washed it and it was fine. 

This skirt will replace my very comfy but deeply unflattering grey linen gathered skirt. You know thise things you like but they look terrible on you? Especially in photos? What to do about those? This skirt and a grey waterfall cardigan I often teamed it with made me look like a bag lady. No definition anywhere on the body. And the baggy greyness, in theory chic, just made me feel dull.
