To show off my BEAUTIFUL new boots!blissfulsigh

or another sort of simple, casual skirt. I saw a perfect one in H & M but they only had an 18 left and they weren't getting any more.

Anyone got any ideas?

I saw some yesterday, I'm pretty sure it was M&S.

MrsBadger · 13/12/2006 09:58

I have three - one from H&M like yours (though many years ago) and two stretch cord ones from Gap. The Gap ones aren't lined though, which means they stick like demons if you wear tights - have had to invest in a petticoat for the first time since I was about 7...

Heathcliffscathy · 13/12/2006 10:05

what size do you need?

i might be able to help (i bought 4 in different colours from h&M and I never wear them).

where are you?

fireflyxmasfairylights2 · 13/12/2006 10:19

Were you close to your Grandad? when did he die?

I'm sorry

But I think I would try my very best to get to my grandads funeral. Have you anyone you can ask to help you out?

fireflyxmasfairylights2 · 13/12/2006 10:19

danceswithreindeer · 13/12/2006 14:14

Reindeer have fists??

FiveGoldenFIMBOIDs · 13/12/2006 14:20

White Stuff They are doing free p & p until next Thursday!

WhyDooLittleStarsShine · 13/12/2006 14:21

danceswithreindeer - I love that look.
I have a brown suede skirt form Monsoon which I wear very often, more than anyone would notice tbh.
One of the best items of clothing I have ever bought.
I know they have another one out this year.
I wear mine with a long pair of equestrian boots and tied cardigan.

btw M&S have a fabulous pair of cotton rich thick tights to wear with boots £5! And their patterned ones are nice too....

MrsSpoon · 13/12/2006 14:22

Lovely boots.

I got a cord a-line knee length skirt in Next pretty sure it is this one. I have it in green but saw something similar in the shop in black or dark grey, can't remember which.

danceswithreindeer · 13/12/2006 14:23

I like the hope springs skirt but a bit expensive

ok...well maybe not fists but a good back kick should suffice
