I want a denim skirt.

Like this, but without the weird scrubbed bits and available in a size 16.

I like the a line 70s shape.

I don't want a dark indigo denim- the M&S one would be perfect if it hadn't been attacked with a Brillo pad.

Has anyone seen one?

Um, your link appears to be to a (rather nice) Jaeger bag. I'd like a denim skirt too though, so watching with interest! Smile

Do you want washed or dark? You don't seem to be able to make your mind up in your OP! Grin

I'm thinking about one too. What would be the cut off age for denim skirt, black opaques and biker boots do you think?

Do you Tethers - really?

As an aside - what happened with your mil's visit?

I liked the bag by the way. Jaeger have a lot of lovely stuff in at the moment.

Ok- ignore the bag, people Grin

Remus, I want a blue blue denim one, not a navy blue denim one like sleepy's link (sorry sleepy!), although pale blue denim would be ok if I can't find a nice mid-blue one. Does that make sense?

Mrs CB, it was weird. She was a bit prickly, had a dry sense of humour... She was like... Me Confused. Anyway, we're glossing over THAT and moving on. I think. She made a huge effort with the kids, particularly selectively mute DD1. So, on the whole, it was ok Smile

Prob too late in the year - pale denim usually for summer. It's the sort of thing Topshop sometimes do, but can't see any now.

I'd buy that M&S one if they had my size. They have a knack of making their clothes look really shit on the website when they're actually quite nice IRL....

I have got that Weird Fish one, and I luffs it. So much that I actually have it in two sizes. I was planning on eBaying the 14 if if might squeeze into it.

Weird Fish are stocked by lots of places, might be worth hunting if you like it. I got one of mine from an outlet village.

M&S have the worst stylists/photographers ever.

May be an old Stella one floating round which would fit that 80's vibe.

Worth calling M&S their customer service are good at tracking down items.

Drat, I see the Weird Fish one isn't quite right.

Not bad, cromwell... Definitely a contender, thanks.

MrsCB, I'm very sure Grin I have been looking for one for years. But it has to be the right one.

I'll be in Brum later in the week. Happy to look in the M&S for you and post it on.
