The Elusive Black Skirt

I have been looking for a plain, just-below-the-knee black skirt for about...6 months now? Maybe longer? I can't remember! I have now looked in every thrift shop in the nearest town at least once, and some (St. Vincent dePaul and Goodwill) multiple times. I even visited a Goodwill Store while visiting my parents up north. This store is in a very affluent neighboring town and is known for its fabulous finds. After all this, I have a very nice selection of skirts in all colors and patterns, but still no solid black one. I can't even find a new one I like that fits me well. This should be so simple to find, but it continues to elude me. I ought to be frustrated, but I'm starting to find this situation very funny. Sometimes I like to imagine my life as a comedy show, and I think that "The Elusive Black Skirt" might be a funny episode! There I stand, in front of an endless row of black skirts of all lengths and styles and materials...oh, the possibilities!
