70's style denim button through skirt - anyone else?

[MrsGuyGarvey]

I love 70's style and snapped up a button through denim skirt that fits perfectly a couple of weeks ago. All good, but everytime I go to wear it I'm stumped. I'm worried about it looking a bit frumpy (am in 40's) and not sure about wearing it with tights, what would I wear on my feet? In the summer I'd wear it with wedges, converse etc, but not sure which way to go now. Any ideas?

If it's midi length you could try knee high boots maybe?

I have one I wore the other day with black tights and boots and cream roll neck. Mine comes a few inches above the knee but not quite mini. It looked good I think but I would love a suede version, like the one I had from Outer Edge at Topshop in the 90s :)

I have been looking for one for years. Literally. I posted on here about three years ago looking for one and was roundly mocked.

Now, they're IN. And sold out. I'm looking at YOU, M&S.

GRRRRRRR

Wear one with clogs, knee high tan boots, leather jacket, lurex top, neck scarf, polo neck, tight fitting shirt. Anything in my wardrobe, basically

Unless you know where I can get a nice one...?

Florence and Fred have some A-line denim skirts, but fly front, not button through

Esprit have some button throughs

Stains burgs have them.

Errr, that'll be Sainsburys.

Thanks- but I wanted a midi length a line one like this... Where did you get yours from, OP?

Is gone everywhere. And no more stock coming in, ever apparently

Just no.

If you're Alexa Chung or any other supertall, slim, long-legged 20something you pull off a mini version. At 40 you're just going to look like Ann Ferguson.

It's serendipity tethers you've been saved from disaster

I've moved on to lusting after this one now... Only £199 and not available yet :-/

I've had one in my drawers for years. I've only worn it a few times cos I feel too short for it.

Wot size, should we happen upon one?

I love that suede one too tethers.

Oh my good God.

16 please fifty! Or an 18, can do something with a belt. It's a lost cause though

I just want a proper, high waisted, a line, midi skirt. Grump.

Amazon has a fair few

I saw loads in the store near work Tethers - will look for you when I next go in.

Who is Ann Ferguson? Google tells me an American philosopher, not someone we all have an image of in our minds.

Ann Ferguson was my friend's mum.

I bought this asos one:

Its really nice but i had to size up as the waist was tiny!

I got mine from that high end store known as Sainsburys. I haven't been doing knee high boots for the last couple of years so don't have any, are they coming back? I think that's my problem really, I've been wearing ankle boots (biker, Chelsea & those Marant knock off jobs) and I can't see how they'd go with a denim skirt. I worry that knee high boots will turn up the frump factor.
