I found this gorgeous patchwork skirt in my local charity shop the other day.

Isn't it beautiful?

.
It was the bargain price of £6 ($3) and it was in the window.
.
There is one downside to owning this skirt.
.
I'm a size 16/18 (US size 14/16) and this skirt is a size 12 (US size 10)
.
I can either:
.
(a) go on a diet, and give up eating until it fits.
(b) insert 2 panels either side of the skirt and hope I make a good job of it.
(c) hang it in the wardrobe with all the other beautiful clothes that no longer fit.
.
I know which one I should do... (a)
I know which one I could do... (b)
I know which one I will do... (c)
.
But I couldn't let anybody else own it could I?
