Sisterhood of the Traveling Skirt
I was with friends one week-end and saw this skirt in a second hand store. I am always looking for white temple clothing so it caught my eye. It had a stain, but I decided to take a chance and buy it, at an even more reduced rate. My friends were envious, but I thought--it's just a white skirt.
The stain washed out, so I wore it to the temple with just a plain white (but nice) T-shirt. I work at the temple on Thursday mornings when it is not very busy and there are not many people around. But that first time I wore it I got 6 compliments (raves) over my skirt. I was a little surprised. Then the second time, I got 5 compliments. Strangers were going out of their way to tell me what a darling skirt I had. I have worn it now 4 or 5 times and every time I wear it I get compliments on my skirt.
Then one of my friends had a daughter who was getting married. She wanted to wear the skirt. So I mailed it to her to wear on the special occasion, and she mailed it back. So it is officially a traveling skirt. I just want to laugh every time someone raves about the skirt, and if they ask where I got it --I love to tell them about my about my second hand, stained skirt that everyone loves.
