Am I crazy to like this skirt?

Have never shopped at river island before as I've always viewed it to be a bit ... ahem ... young?

But I've been on the hunt for an interesting skirt and saw this skirt the other day.

For some reason I really like it. And my DH likes it. Sometimes though my taste does go a little askew however so please tell me .... is it awful?

I Don't like it

Not sure when you woudl wear it-do you have an occasion in mind?

its a bit...Cheryl Cole for me

But if you like it why not

diddl · 01/11/2010 16:19

I think it´s quite fun tbh-but would be more party than every day for me!

cheesesarnie · 01/11/2010 16:21

coffeenut · 01/11/2010 16:21

Oh definitely an occasion skirt - wouldn't wear it down to the shops or to work!

muggglewump · 01/11/2010 16:24

Oh dear.

ShowOfHandsInEpistolaryForm · 01/11/2010 16:26

You could store loo rolls under it?

NomDePlume · 01/11/2010 16:30

revolting

Tootiredforgodtyping · 01/11/2010 16:33

Wrong on every level

traceybath · 01/11/2010 16:35

What would you wear with it? Its very young but am sure could look good.

Agree with cyb - tis very chezza.

Monty100 · 01/11/2010 16:42

I love it but wouldn't get much wear out of it

Tis very you and chi-chi whatever that means Grin

coffeenut · 01/11/2010 16:44

I should add ... I'm late twenties, size 10, average height.

Would wear it with a plain black sleeveless fitted top.

Not sure I want to look like chezza! Grin

Try it - what have you got to lose Grin

sue52 · 01/11/2010 17:02

You are in your twenties and a size 10, what's making you think twice?

FolornHope · 01/11/2010 17:03

fucking hell that is vile

traceybath · 01/11/2010 17:10

Say what you think Fo Wink

Monty100 · 01/11/2010 20:02

*young not you

You've got youth and the figure for it. Go girl Grin

TrinityTheTwattyRhino · 01/11/2010 20:04

I like it, would never be able to carry it off, dont have anything nice to go with it but if you like it go for it

sazlocks · 01/11/2010 20:09

not my taste but sounds like you would look good in it so go for it

rachk32 · 01/11/2010 20:18

i work in fashion and i think its pretty cool, but i think it could look a little cheap, it needs styling up, little waterfall jacket over the top, black tights and extra high shoes, maybe with a flash of colour!!
Its defo a trend piece, so only to be worn the once.....
My rule is if your questioning it, its not meant to be, if you loved it, you,d buy it straight away..

msbunbury · 01/11/2010 20:44

I love it and if I were you Id get it. FWIW - MY rule is that if you're still thinking about it now then you obviously want it...!!

coffeenut · 01/11/2010 21:02

Well I ordered it!

I agree it could look sort of cheap Rach, thanks for help styling. I have some fabbo ultra high heels to wear with it. What sort of top would you wear with it? (under the jacket I mean)

Folorn you made me laugh Grin

OP posts:
rachk32 · 01/11/2010 21:54

id go with the top you were talking about or just a loose fitting jersy vest?? Ideally black...
Glad u brought it, im sure it will look fab!!!

MrsRhettKilledTheButler · 01/11/2010 21:58

i love it and i want one, i may buy it for my birthday next week :) i'm 28 and size 12
