Long Skirts

I arrived back from Africa on a Thursday night. On Friday, I went to my church thrift store and bought 6 long skirts.

Since I bought those skirts and had skirts to wear, I’ve found some lighter skirts that I had for summer and I’ve washed them. I’ve also done some looking around on the internet at finding online stores that sell modest clothing.

I’m expecting 2 new, long denim skirts that I ordered on MLK Day.

They have pockets, which is sort of exciting. Some of the skirts I bought had pockets, but it’s just weird to not have pockets when you have things to carry. When I was in Africa, I didn’t have much to carry, so it was less of an issue, and when I did have things to carry, I just carried them awkwardly and it was all good. But here, where I have keys, a phone, a wallet and all my stuff, pockets will be very useful. And denim skirts! I don’t even remember when the last time I had a denim skirt was… Maybe high school? And they’re long and modest denim skirts! I’m very excited (obviously). I think once these skirts arrive, I’ll have enough of a wardrobe that I’ll be done shopping. When I was wearing pants, I had many pairs, but I really only wore the same 4 pairs of jeans over and over. The only thing I will need to buy more of is leggings and tights. So far, so good!
