Should I wear a kilt - and if so where can i get one

[kizzie]

Im thinking quite short - but im 40 so decent. With thick black tights.

If thats not a really bad idea - has anyone seen a nice one anywhere.

Maybe the snow is getting to me .....

Mini-kilts???? (or kilt style skirts!)

Like in the 80s???????

Yeah, baby! Where can I get one?

Is 42 too old for a mid-thigh length one with black tights and boots?

I am slim and size 8 so do you think I could get away with it or is just too sad???

oh yes a skirt . im a laydee.

Im slimish too Oopsadaisy and yes like in the 80's.

Im in South east

I have one - the sort you get in Scotland, lots of pleats across the back, leather straps and a kilt pin - 99p on ebay. This winter I'm wearing it with a black jumper from Sainsburys and long black boots.

M&S actually have a couple of really cute kilts at the moment - mini but not too mini. I am seriously tempted.

This is the one I liked in store.

here too.

Love this but maybe a bit too school uniform-ish?

Oh I'm re-living my youth!!

Sherbert dips!

Adam Ant!

Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle singing on TOTP!

Stripey legwarmers!

Snogging with boy next door by the garage block - yyyyyeeeeeeuuuuuugggggghhhhhh - that's spoilt it - I feel violently ill now.

What top to wear with a mini-klit - any ideas???

kizzie - I'm in the Midlands - we're a bit stylistically challenged around here but I'll try anything.

I used to wear my mini-kilts with black opaques and DMs. What would one wear on feet now, do you think?

Did I just put klit instead of kilt?

I am soooooo embarrassed.

Am I confused? Am I looking for a klit or a kilt?

Is this where I've been going wrong all these years?

Boots I think (on your feet)

I really like the grey autograph one - even if it is a bit uniformy

That's a relief....I thought it was just me hankering after a kilt.

One of the young things at work wears one and looks very cool.

There's a company called Ness that sells some lovely wooly tartan numbers (in cure colours)...really quite mini, but still respectable with tights I think!

Love that M and S grey one, very chic!

The M&s ones don't have the pleated backs that swing out when you walk or dance ( quite sexy in a way) I'd try a traditional supplier for that.

Hi Kizzie, I don't know whether you have found your kilt/skirt yet but a good place to look is the scotweb site. They have a good selection from mini to long. They may be a bit pricier than the high street version but they are made with more cloth and hence deeper pleats.

I love the clothes from Ness. The minikilts look gorgeous but are all dry clean only. As my 3 year old DS2 manages to cover all my clothes with yoghurt I didn't think it was the right choice for me. I do however have both a coat and a jacket from Ness. They are very warm, well made and just a little bit different from most of the stuff on the high street without being at all stuffy.
