I bought this skirt from Anthropologie in my lunch break today and now feel guilty about the cost (especially as...yeah, I also bought this hat ) . I have no occasion to wear it! But loved it so Xmas Blush

But Twiiiinkle! Are you absolutely sure you forbid it?

The skirt is lovely but difficult. Not quite sure how/when/where you could wear it, and with what. It might turn out to be the white elephant of skirts.

The hat is gorgeous. You could stick that on every day, all winter long.

Am not keen on the skirt. Seems very expensive for what it is.

Twinklestein · 03/12/2013 19:42

Absolutely sure.

However I have just bought your skirt, so that's a great compliment!

Beeyump · 03/12/2013 19:42

Brilliant! Anthropologie should hire me.

thecatfromjapan you are so eloquent! wanted the hat before, but now I need that hat! Grin

Beeyump · 03/12/2013 20:07

I think I should copy and paste cat's comment as a website customer review of the hat. Xmas Grin

Nooooooooo.... The skirt is no longer available! Sold out! Gone! vamoushed! Disappeared! Unavailable :(

Beeyump · 03/12/2013 20:24

Weird - it still seemed to be available when I looked on the website a few seconds ago.

That skirt is gorgeous. And I love the little cardi and kitten heels pictured up thread. A perfectly gorgeous outfit.

petitdonkey · 03/12/2013 20:27

I adore the skirt but feel miffed at you because I tried it on when I was in New York (natch!) but it looked terrible on me. I'm a curvy girl and it was my moment where I realised that the reason I have a wardrobe full of Anglomania dresses is because that is what suits me, boring though it may be…

In my head though, I can still wear that skirt with pointy, nude Manolos and a cream mohair or cashmere knit….

(And fwiw - shamrock dress is shocking Grin )

Curioustiger · 03/12/2013 20:28

How long was it? I'm 5'4'' and it looks a bit long to me... Ie past knee length...?

Curioustiger · 03/12/2013 20:29

Petitdonkey there are far far worse things than a wardrobe full of Anglomania!

LalaDipsey · 03/12/2013 20:31

Gone.. Hat gone too.. Just in case am going to check on my laptop! Wink

petitdonkey · 03/12/2013 20:31

Although, this thread has reminded me that I have an unopened parcel in my porch containing, amongst other things, this beauty!! I can't wear it but do love it any way.

petitdonkey · 03/12/2013 20:32

curious - I know!!! Hope that didn't sound like I was being showy Blush

Beeyump · 03/12/2013 20:34

I'm 5'3 and it is a bit long without heels. Saddened by the hate for the Shamrock dress. And yet, quite relieved too - you have saved me £90
donkey I love the vase.

Love hat. Like skirt. Prefer shamrock dress, (but do look at price tags as I'm a cheapo).

Good health to wear & no saving for best.....

LondonNinja · 03/12/2013 20:38

Dress no loss, OP.

LondonNinja · 03/12/2013 20:39

Skirt is still there...

Pinupgirl · 03/12/2013 20:42

I think the skirt is beautiful but would look awful on me. The hat is absolutely stunning and If the good ladies of s&b would like to do a wee collection for me....Grin

LittleMissRed · 03/12/2013 20:42

Can't see the skirt, love the shamrock dress. The hat is absolutely AWESOME!

VworpVworp · 03/12/2013 20:42

I like the shamrock dress! Blush

I struggle with Anthropologie tbh, it's all too fussy, and OTT, when I'm only 5'0"...

MarshaBrady · 03/12/2013 20:44

I think you need the right kind of style for Anthropologie, not right for me either.

But I quite like the skirt on the right person. Not keen on the hat.

"The skirt is lovely but difficult. Not quite sure how/when/where you could wear it, and with what. It might turn out to be the white elephant of skirts."

I think that encapsulates why I don't like it.
