skirts and dresses for autumn winter

[NinjaChipmunk]

I would to find some nice skirts and dresses for this coming winter. i've only really got into wearing them in the last year since I bought some nice boots last year. I will be buying some black boots this year too. having never really bought skirts and dresses before ( I own about 3 and have had them for years) I don't really know where to look. I'm 36 and 5'4", about a size 10/12

What's your budget? I drooled over the window display in Hobbs this morning, but I can't afford to go in there!

can't afford hobbs either! i guess Next/ H&M etc prices would be a good benchmark. I'm looking for staples to bring out for a few years if possible so could probably manage a little more for the right thing. I would rather have fewer things I love than more things i think are just ok if you get what i mean?

I have just bought this for the winter

it looks better with a black belt IMO but hangs nicely and is a nice length as I don't have great knees.

its a lovely colour and i imagine if it hanges well it could be v flattering.
i quite fancy a knitted grey dress but i wonder how such a thing would wash....

do you think this could be nice with some black suede flat boots and a pair of leggings?

I was going to go for this one with belt and long flat boots. Any good?

is quite nice morag but doesn't quite do it for me. not sure why though?

Is something like this any good? Maybe too short if you're also 5ft 10!

I have a lovely 100% wool skirt (in grey) from Rag & Bone that I have lived in for the last few winters.
