Your grade two teacher wore something very similar to this, didn’t she?

Long skirt, exceptionally shoulder-padded shirt — it’s a foolproof combination, isn’t it? So classic. So vintage.

My favourite thing about a twofer is that you can treat the separates as separates and wear them, well, separately.

All I needed to do with the blouse was remove the shoulder pads and it was ready to rock.

Easy peasy.

And all I needed to do with the skirt was take it to the tailor’s (D.I.Y. is so easy when you have someone else D.I. it for you).

So how did the skirt turn out? Who knows! It’s still at the tailor’s. But I’ll let you know as soon as I do.
