White gypsy skirts teamed with those belts made up of circles

[dillydally]

Fashion trend or fashion victim?

I am seeing them everywhere. I am ok with the skirts but with the belts I no likey. Is it me?

[FrenchGirl]

no we must stop this trend!!!! looks nice on youngish girls, but not on older rounder laydeees IMO. Have seen hundreds already today, let's be different!

[lunavix]

I've got the browny gypsy skirt with no belt. Am quite happy.

[northerner]

I have brown and white gypsy skirts. Must confess to wearing them with a belt and a strappy vest top.

[gingerbear]

Victim
Especially if like me your 'arse is the size of a small country'

[FrenchGirl]

ah you see brown no belt sounds good to me, it's all that david hamilton virginal white gipsy skirt big belt stuff I am beginning to hate!!!
sure you look great in brown

[lunavix]

Mine's the size of a 'small county' hence the skirt in brown as white is most definately unflattering.

[FrenchGirl]

oops northerner.....

[ninah]

it's not you, it's nasty

[charleepeters]

I love the skists but i am short so i dont think they suit me, i have one chunky belt but its not a circly one i pair it with my 3/4 length jeans i think it looks good for summer, i may be wrong but i dont give a monkeys, i love the gypsie look though howere being short and slightly podgy i doesnt work for me

[northerner]

Went to a BBQ on Sunday wearing my white one. Dh's step Gran (she's 91) retorted 'what are you wearing? - looks like the petticoat I wore under my wedding dress'

[gingerbear]

lunavix, only a county? mine is heading towards a sub-continent - Australasia perhaps.

[northerner]

Well I like the look. I will continue to wear the gypsey look with pride.

[dillydally]

The combination of specifically the white skirts and those belts is starting to be a Londontown uniform and I am standing out like an old fart refusing to conform.
My arse is the size of Monaco.

[lunavix]

charleepeters - yes, at 5 ft 3 and ahem a bit over the 8 stone weightwatchers tell me I'm meant to be I think I am the wrong shape for the look

gingerbear - yes, I'd say my arse is the size of a small county hence I think I can get away with the brown gypsy skirt, but not the white!!!

[dillydally]

My DD has one in bright green - we team it with fake birkenstocks and no belt.

[compo]

I was just about to ask if people meant the Saskia look from BB!!!

[ninah]

it's the belt that does it ... eeuhw
I've got a v pale beige gypsy skirt and a big pregnant belly for my barefoot in the kitchen look

[aloha]

Given away all my tiered gypsy skirts to charity shop! Not only did I look the size of small planet in them, I do think they are too ubiquitous now, sadly.

[oliveoil]

i have a drop waisted one fom asda, so not quite gypsy.

no caps, eating magnum icecream mmmmmm, typing 1 handed

[dramaqueen72]

I've got a black maternity one, also good for my barefoot and pg look ninah . not keen on the white ones +circley belt thingy tho tbh.

[lilibet]

I do feel that I am the only person under the age of 60 who doesn't own a white skirt!

[oliveoil]

white would get minging too quick imo

slurrrrrrrp

[Blossomhill]

I did like the belts but now I see them everywhere and so think they look cheap and plastic!
