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?

this is nice

their stuff is lovely quality

you dont mean an a-line one with a big pleat down the front do you?

danceswithreindeer · 13/12/2006 14:27

Whydo - me too, me too! Usually they have something along those lines in Boden but I think their 'fun' skirts are a little too 'fun' for me this season.

Mrs S - Like that one too but I want a really simple one, I have one with pleats already...fussy aren't I

Or this one?

WhyDooLittleStarsShine · 13/12/2006 14:47

And this is lovely. Maybe not what you are looking for but I love these beautiful flowing skirts fall over nice long boots.

danceswithreindeer · 13/12/2006 14:52

I like the dorothy perkins one...I wonder how long it is?

WhyDooLittleStarsShine · 13/12/2006 14:57

They are not on the website but I have seen a couple in the shop, not exactly the same but they are definitely knee length. In fact maybe slightly above?
I would have tried one on only I'm hankering after the Monsoon one.

White Stuff website is crap but I got a lovely skirt there last weekend. A line, just below the knee in a browny grey colour. Goes VERY well with my boots which are similar to yours

Heathcliffscathy · 13/12/2006 18:49

Tortington · 13/12/2006 18:53

you can only wear a cord skirt if your a social worker.

danceswithreindeer · 13/12/2006 18:54

I can't CAT! Can you e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll e-mail you back. Is that ok?

Thank you, thank you, that's so kind! I could send you a SAE if you could stick the skirt on your kitchen scales and let me know the weight

Occasionally wear 'subtle' dangly ear rings.
Love cords skirts......

And I wear a padded gilet. Ho Hum

Tortington · 14/12/2006 14:21

only if you teach english or history or geog.

gillet only acceptable if you have a 4x4 ( which isn't acceptable at all) or a horse.

Tortington · 14/12/2006 14:23

dangly earrings and cord skirt = hippy liberal do gooder

accessorize with long scarf for the complete HLDG look
