I may have to go shopping for clothes

I have been avoiding the fact that my wardrobe has been dwindling. For the last couple of months I have been busy patching, and sewing and cutting and hoping that I would be able to finish the trip with the clothes currently in my backpack.
It seems, however, that I may be forced to buy myself a new pair of trousers. The pair I currently have now have a floral patch on the butt, and are promising to wear through in at least 3 other places.
My favorite skirt (yes the one that I wear all the time, in every photo, evidence here, here and here) is also on it's way out. I have already made about 4 repairs to it, and when it returned from the last wash I had to make 3 more.
If these two items die, it will leave me with only one skirt. And that skirt I made by cutting up a dress.
The photo is of Michaels trousers. He retired them, as they were threadbare. Fortunately Ken (Thank you Ken) donated a pair of jeans which means that Michael won't have to resort to shorts and legwarmers.
