do I need one?

its VILE

My granny had a skirt exactly liek that in about 1975, and it was horrid then.

It's the emperor's new clothes syndrome again. Just because the magazines say it's gorgeous and amazing, doesn't mean we have to believe it. It's hideous, like something my granny would have worn and the fact it's £110 is a joke.

ASOS

JUST VILE

Only Carrie Bradshaw couldve carried it off

I tried it on and it was okay but completely see through! I think that brands like Whistles pick a few things to really push each season like this skirt and it ends up in every magazine so it must be the thing to have. I think I've read umpteen times in the past week or so that three staffers from Grazia have bought it - PR machine in full swing methinks.

Kittya I agree, they have regular sales, no point in buying anything at full price IMO. I just bought a pair of trousers in the sale reduced from £110 to £40.

I bet the workers at Grazia get good discounts!

I bought www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/pins-+amp-needles-long-pleated-skirt/invt/5120428389977/this in pink last night. To wear with plain tee or slouchy black cashmere lurex-striped sweater and boots. We'll see.

this I mean

It's foul

Has been in the window of my local branch for weeks and it makes me dry heave every time I walk past (well, I exaggerate a little ...)

That grey one is nice, LTEC.

I think the problem with the Whistles one is that the colour is vile too - it's an 'old lady at M&S' colour so combined with the length and pleats looks v frumpy. In black or grey on sombody v tall and slender and funked up with silver jewellery and heels it could look good.

GOPPERAMA

If everbody has it why would you want it anyway? It looks frayed round the edges as well
