I want a denim skirt.

Like this, but without the weird scrubbed bits and available in a size 16.

I like the a line 70s shape.

I don't want a dark indigo denim- the M&S one would be perfect if it hadn't been attacked with a Brillo pad.

Has anyone seen one?

Um, your link appears to be to a (rather nice) Jaeger bag. I'd like a denim skirt too though, so watching with interest! Smile

tethersend · 20/09/2014 19:55

Not that, that's a BAG.

Like this.

Sorry.

Eerm that's a bag. Although I guess it is sort of an A line shape...I Guess Hmm

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/09/2014 19:56

Do you want washed or dark? You don't seem to be able to make your mind up in your OP! Grin

sleepysleepy · 20/09/2014 20:00

Sorry I'm rubbish at links

olivespickledonions · 20/09/2014 20:01

I'm thinking about one too. What would be the cut off age for denim skirt, black opaques and biker boots do you think?

MrsCampbellBlack · 20/09/2014 20:01

Do you Tethers - really?

As an aside - what happened with your mil's visit?

sleepysleepy · 20/09/2014 20:02

Oh bollocks its out of stock, actually.

MrsCampbellBlack · 20/09/2014 20:02

I liked the bag by the way. Jaeger have a lot of lovely stuff in at the moment.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/09/2014 20:04

Not quite what you want Boden Too dark?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/09/2014 20:07

too dark again?

tethersend · 20/09/2014 20:08

Ok- ignore the bag, people Grin

Remus, I want a blue blue denim one, not a navy blue denim one like sleepy's link (sorry sleepy!), although pale blue denim would be ok if I can't find a nice mid-blue one. Does that make sense?

Mrs CB, it was weird. She was a bit prickly, had a dry sense of humour... She was like... Me Confused. Anyway, we're glossing over THAT and moving on. I think. She made a huge effort with the kids, particularly selectively mute DD1. So, on the whole, it was ok Smile

Yy. Remus, those are too dark, sorry.

MrsCampbellBlack · 20/09/2014 20:09

Oh I'm glad to hear that Tethers - well not that your DH married his mother Wink

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/09/2014 20:10

Prob too late in the year - pale denim usually for summer. It's the sort of thing Topshop sometimes do, but can't see any now.

MrsCampbellBlack · 20/09/2014 20:11

Have looked at a line denim skirts - they're all a bit ummm religious culty - are we sure about this look?

cromwell44 · 20/09/2014 20:12

Not long enough?

I'd buy that M&S one if they had my size. They have a knack of making their clothes look really shit on the website when they're actually quite nice IRL....

I have got that Weird Fish one, and I luffs it. So much that I actually have it in two sizes. I was planning on eBaying the 14 if if might squeeze into it.

Weird Fish are stocked by lots of places, might be worth hunting if you like it. I got one of mine from an outlet village.

MrsCampbellBlack · 20/09/2014 20:16

M&S have the worst stylists/photographers ever.

May be an old Stella one floating round which would fit that 80's vibe.

Worth calling M&S their customer service are good at tracking down items.

BikeRunSki · 20/09/2014 20:16

Drat, I see the Weird Fish one isn't quite right.

tethersend · 20/09/2014 20:17

Not bad, cromwell... Definitely a contender, thanks.

MrsCB, I'm very sure Grin I have been looking for one for years. But it has to be the right one.

I'll be in Brum later in the week. Happy to look in the M&S for you and post it on.
