1.5 years, one slip up (3 jumpsuits & a dress) after my decision to only buy things made in my region or second-hand, I’m finally making forays into second hand shops. No hits in either of the ones I’ve tried so far, but I loved this skirt, made of viscose in Europe and sold in a store of Berlin stuff. I was sorely tempted, decided to wait to see if I found something on sale instead, turned to the sales rack, and there it was—in my size, 36% off. Leaving it there would have been tempting fate, and I couldn’t do that!

It’s hard to photograph well, but each side has two vertical rows of three loops for a skinny tie. I’m not sure if this is the way it should be laced, how else to do it, or which ends to tie together, where. Can you help???

Bonus pic is brunch during back to school shopping—he goes back tomorrow.

ETA One store (Not second hand) had several items I really like by the label Sea Salt. I think it’s from Cornwall. Do you know anything about it?
