What are my hopes of finding one when the shops are full of swirly smocks?

Maximum budget £40

mid length not long or mini

I need something I can wear with a black / brown top, so not pale colours

please find me something beautiful

I really like the White Stuff skirts: eg this one

not generally the cheapest, but they have a sale on.

wordgirl · 29/03/2007 20:51

this one would seem to meet all of your criteria I think - apart from being slightly over budget

Bink that is fab - I don't think it is The One, but a damn nice skirt

wordgirl I am not sure about the print on that one, I think it would look kind of frumpy on me

You are both very kind to be looking for me

Have I fallen into some kind of skirt nirvana?

FrannyandZooey · 29/03/2007 20:59

Fio I think the turquoise one is SO beautiful

but would the purply brown one be more practical???

could I wear both of those with black top

I think you'd better order quick before they sell out

oliveoil · 29/03/2007 21:02

oooh nice skirts

I have similar from French Connection from last year, black, yellow, orange and white, sounds foul but tons of "where did you get your skirt?" comments

MrsBadger · 29/03/2007 21:02

Fat Face?
spot on budget orif you can spare £2.50

embroidered?

dear old Johhny?

dingdongjustforyoufg · 29/03/2007 21:03

love that skirt fio! great plains have a few in, a bit pale perhaps, also principles and monsoon (tho over budget!)

FrannyandZooey · 29/03/2007 21:03

Oh arse you know I think I had a skirt from these people and it kept falling off

they sit very low on the hips yes?

or maybe it was just that particular design, one of those asymmetric stripey jobs?

FrannyandZooey · 29/03/2007 21:05

Mrs B I am deeply sorry but I don't like any of yours

perhaps I need my chakras realigned

but FIO what a STAR

paulaplumpbottom · 29/03/2007 21:06

Hard to find something that works with black in the summer

MrsBadger · 29/03/2007 21:07

no worries Franny, was only fitting the brief, not exercising taste .

Off to recommend Uttam to Cod for sundresses

DrMarthaMcMoo · 29/03/2007 21:08

Fio, I love those skirts. Why did you show me them?

FrannyandZooey · 29/03/2007 21:09

Do we all agree that I could wear the turquoise one with a black top?
