I found a skirt at Old Navy that was originally about $25, marked down 75%, which made it about $6. I tried it on and loved it. There were two problems though. The zipper was broken, and it was the only one left. Also, it was a tad bit too short for me. Then, all of a sudden, I got a bright idea. Duh! I could fix the zipper! So, I bought it, and they gave me and extra 50% off because the zipper was broken. The cashier told me there was no way I could return it. No problem. For $3 I can fix it!
I bought a new zipper and some eyelet lace to add to the bottom.
It was a really quick fix, and I've already worn it. I like wearing a pink shirt with it, so I can wear my favorite pink polka dot shoes. I also wore my
pink rolled rose bracelet with it.
Check out my party page to see where I am linking up this week!
