I like the skirt, not so keen on the shoes.

Polyvore has some styling ideas - like this?

Op I like Kat on Does my bum look 40. Don't mind pose, love her clothes.
I don't know how old your dd is but why are you paying attention to her views anyway ? ESP if she thinks Little Mix are the height of style?!!!!
My dd is 12 and I listen to her good comments and ignore her negative ones because I know I wear nice clothes and don't care what she thinks anyway

That cross-over leg pose thing looks like they need a wee and can't bear to stop posing for the cameras to go.
But it doesnt make me go aaaarggghhh!

The latest model pose seems to be looking at your feet. WTF? They spend 9 gazillion hours in makeup and all we see is the top of their heads :)

I don't really look at the clothes any more. denim skirts are nice, but I am nearly 50 and did that the first time round. The problem is that they are sort of jean-y and I used myself wiping my paintbrush on them. (slovenly child!)

ruby aaaarggghhh!
Does she do it on purpose, or is it an accidental or medical thing for which she might need splints, crutches, orthopaedic shoes :)

Skirt yes shoes no! I would wear the skirt with plimsolls a tan and a cross body bag ad light striped t shirt. It is a bit of an odd length. The shoes are just a bit ugly sorry.

Oh help, euphemia I suspect you are right. :(

So the women being held up as gorgeous are tiny, childish and have no faces.
I am would rather be largish, confident and in your face! ...and Mumsy if that is the alternative.

AnOeuf, I love your name.

I've never pulled off denim anything except jeans, so I'm no help to you, OP.

I'm with naturalblonde, gwennie and librarina. Keep it! Love it! Wear with boots in spring winter and converse in spring and flip flops in summer.
