It's my favorite skirt of all time. It's both stylish (in a quirky way) and comfortable.I bought it 18 years ago when my husband Steve and I vacationed in New Mexico. The skirt is a literal patchwork of various pieces of soft, loosely woven fabric.
Unfortunately, the loose fabric tends to fray at the edges, and come free from the stitching. Over the years I have had to repair it on a regular basis. At one point I noticed that it had gaps whose edges were too frayed to allow for repair at all. But there was no way I was going to give up on my favorite skirt. I sewed a patch onto the wrong side of the fabric and tacked the frayed edges down with a zigzag stitch.
So... it's not fit to wear to work anymore, but it's quirkier than ever.

Too bad you didn't get it at LLBeans, Garnet. Might have taken it back 'n got a new one.
But a fine skirt from what you describe. Though might want to have a better pic taken of it, and you.
Best
