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

68 replies

MrsGuyGarvey · 08/03/2015 09:40

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?

Did you get the M&S skirt Tethers? If not, I can check at the store near my work for you?

I rang thé store today, and unfortunately they wouldn't post it; it's M&S policy, so please don't worry about looking out for one for me. Thanks ever so much though Smile

They've just brought out this faux suede dupe of the other one you wanted, Tethers. Worth a shot?

tethersend · 13/03/2015 13:24

Thanks fifty... That's nice, but I'm not sure about the front split... Hmm, might be worth a shot though!

FiftyShadesOfSporn · 13/03/2015 14:53

The 'real' one has a front split too. And is much nicer. But £199 apparently!!

tethersend · 13/03/2015 20:19

Does it?

Oh well, that's put me off that too. You've saved me £199 Grin

Greengardenpixie · 13/03/2015 20:24

Thats a lovely faux suede skirt. The front split is nice imo. It doesnt seem to go to high. A bit sassy!!

FiftyShadesOfSporn · 16/03/2015 08:34

Now that's interesting. The denim skirt is back in stock in an 8, but the pictures look different - not as A-line. I follwed the link above so shouldn't be a different skirt.

dexter73 · 16/03/2015 09:49

I've ordered the faux suede skirt and it's arriving tomorrow so I'll let you know what it is like.

MrsMarigold · 16/03/2015 10:34

Toast usually has this sort of thing not in their latest collection but you might like this.

I have a vintage button through suede skirt it is fab, but need a new denim one as my knees will insist in getting older.

This is nice, zip not buttons www.johnlewis.com/whistles-zip-through-skirt-dark-denim/p1839340 outrageous price Sad

The denim skirt is in stock in a size 12 at the moment so I have just ordered it.

FiftyShadesOfSporn · 17/03/2015 09:51

OK, the faux suede version:

  • hemline badly uneven
  • not A line enough in appearance (the fabric is so soft it doesn't presetn the A line shape iyswim)
dexter73 · 17/03/2015 09:57

Oh dear Fifty! Mine is arriving at lunchtime so I'll see what it is like then! Hopefully I'll have more luck with the denim skirt as the reviews are good for that one.

dexter73 · 17/03/2015 13:10

The skirt arrived and is going back! The hemline was even and it fitted very well but it was just a bit odd looking.
