Imight order the pencil skirt in velvet- not sure about the grey or the peacock, as it is LINED unlike all their other cord skirts this season. I do have a pencil skirt from 2 years back in denim which is quite nice but it's not lined and does ride up if you wear chunky tights. I also had to shorten it as even at 23 inches it was a bit frumpy for me.
If you are thinking of it, mine is not very pencil-like- more like a straight skirt- certainly not figure hugging- well, it is Boden!
I am thinking of the down jacket- anyone any opinions on that?
