I like this. Around 37gbp.

Too expensive?

Depends what your budget is, I guess.

Everyone on where will have very different budgets and will respond accordingly. Which probably won't be much help!

If you can afford it and you will wear it, it's not too expensive.

If you're eating beans on toast for the next month, it's too expensive.

I'm not a skirt person and don't have the figure for anything like that, but it's a cute skirt and a nice length.

Nope, it's nice.
You would probably get lots of wear out of it.

I don't work in an office and I'll wear it mostly for casual wear. Can it work? I can afford it, just not used to buying clothes that are, well, non H&M prices. lol.

There's a similar skirt in H&M here but it's only available in navy.

Have you looked at the delivery details? It is another $25 to get it shipped over here, plus import VAT, plus customs fees (which may or may not be charged)

I think it is a versatile piece of clothing, you could wear it casual with a t-shirt.
I have something similar but not as nice.

That'll teach me to make assumptions Smile

It's a good skirt, and has the potential to be worn a lot. Get it now, while you still get the discount!

I wish it was in the UK as I'd buy one. This is the exact style of skirt I've been looking for. To me £37 for a skirt is a bit pricey but I can afford it and I know it's not that bad (and probably nothing to some people). As pp have said, it all depends on your budget.

hellBellsJingleBalls - H&M has something similar, but here we only get the navy and the rust. In other countries, they have the black, mustard, etc. Maybe you have them there :)

PullingPants and TheMasterNotMargarita - discount is only online, and will amount to around the same with shipping. But you're right! I should get it before my size runs out. :)

Thanks Mayum. [smile
It's probably good they don't have the black in the UK. I wear a lot of black!

It's not that much cheaper in H&M. I like it, especially the navy and white version.
