Today I got the most lovely, flattering maxi skirt EVER!

[ceebeegeebies]

It is this one

I know it is expensive and I am not the kind of person that would ever normally spend that much money on a skirt (usually no more than £20) but I had a session with a personal shopper last week and she gave it to me to try on and it looked AMAZING.

I am 5ft 8 and it touches the floor (which is unheard of in maxi skirts) and a size 14-16. This skirt makes me look slim and my tummy disappear

It is truly magical and makes me look much less frumpy than normal - I am totally in love with it!

Just be careful when you go to the loo!!!!!!( poo thread on chat!)

I have seen that thread but haven't clicked on it - didn't realise it was about a maxi skirt - will go and investigate

It sounds gross but I've been crying!!!

It is very nice. What top have you got to go with it?

Looks nice and I love the way long skirts feel when you walk - going to wander off and see if I can find a cheaper version :)

The personal shopper styled it with this to wear with it plus a denim jacket and some chunky beads - so I have bought the vest and I have a denim jacket anyway - it looks great Am just missing the chunky beads now...

Don't tell DD1 one of her all time favourite outfits was a long sleeved top that colour and a very similar skirt. It's a lovely combination.

thats quite nice for a maxi skirt

I likes :)

love that skirt you might just have started the mumsnet skirt !

Lovely outfit.

I've been looking for a similar skirt but as am 5ft need it to be very slim fitting.

So if anyone sees one on their travels .. .

I am quite drawn to this - have I gone mad.

But was thinking of with vest top and denim jacket - exactly like Ceebee.

where did you go to the personal shopper? It might just be what I need to overhaul my wardrobe .....

Yes, please tell us more about this personal shopper thing!

MrsCampbell I do like that skirt aswell (maybe not quite as much as mine )

As for the personal shopper, it was fantastic!! It was at Debenhams and was free (even better!). Went with 2 friends and we had 90 minutes with the shopper (technically it was the Express service - 30 minutes each where they will find you one item). I wanted a tunic/long top to wear with skinny jeans/leggings and I always struggle to get tops that are long enough - she found me the most comfortable pair of skinny jeans/jeggings (not sure what they actually are) and a lovely top from Wallis. Funnily enough, the top was actually a dress from the Petite range at Wallis so for someone under 5ft 4, it would be knee-length but for 5ft 8 me (with long legs) it falls mid-thigh which is perfect - now I would never think of even looking in any petite section so that is one tip that I now know!

I think the skirt was just an afterthought by the shopper but she did the whole Gok Wan thing with the styling the whole outfit and it did look amazing.

I would definitely recommend it if you need an outfit for a particular occasion or something that you want but struggle to buy.
