Navy Blue Skirt w/ Large pockets

I found this skirt on the dress rack at our local goodwill, in its past life it had been a jumper like thing. Now I usually like jumpers, but this one made me look like a dork, so off went the upper half. The only thing that had been holding the two parts together were 3 buttons in the front and back, so removal was quick and painless.
On each side of the skirt there is a large pocket, that I think look pretty funky.
After examining the seams and such, I've come to the conclusion that it was homemade. So I don't know if they meant for the pockets to kinda hang out in the way they do, or if that is why it was at the thrift store. But neither do I really care, because I like it.
The fabric is corduroy with little paisleys all over it. Since it has been so cold, I've been steering completely clear of all skirts made with any light weight woven materials. Wool, denim and corduroy provide so much more protection against the friged wind. Put a pair of long underwear underneath and your ready for anything! Even getting stuck on the side of the road because you smashed up the car on a icy bridge, like I did.
