I am feeling as if my wardrobe is in desperate need of a yellow skirt. Ideally, I want it to be about knee length (but I am a shortarse) and either slightly full, or (even better) knife edge pleated.

Alternately, a more 50s type with, possibly, a black print might work too.

Any ideas please?

Have you searched on shopstyle?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/03/2013 20:45

Thanks Honey but that one is too 60s space-age.

Mango one a good shape but too light.
Topshop one lovely but too summery.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/03/2013 20:53

Boden have a few yellow ones snigger but not in the shape you describe. They do have one in a lovely shape, but it would be navy blue. What's wrong with navy blue? Wink

The Whistles Carrie skirt came in a lovely yellow colour and also a yellow/blue floral print. It is a knee or midi length full pleated skirt, there are a couple on eBay.

Yikes!!! Shock

That would swamp you remus. Need something between that and Boden extremes I think. Have you looked at Joules? They often have yellow items.

pleasethanks · 10/03/2013 21:08

Which are you yikes at?!

montmartre · 10/03/2013 21:13

Sorry please- yours! Blush

It's just SO BRIGHT!

...and remus is v petite.

pleasethanks · 10/03/2013 21:14

Course it is bright, yellow isn't typically a dull colour!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/03/2013 21:22

I actually rather like that striped one, but agree that it might well wear me rather than the other way around! Will have a look at Joules, but their skirts have been so, so boring for the last few seasons.

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/03/2013 21:23

Nope - Joules has failed.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/03/2013 21:27
