Right you were all so helpful on the other thread but the skirt has turned up and it is all wrong for me

So now I need an A line skirt in a beautiful bold print which I can wear with a black top

WHICH I CAN BUY IN A SHOP BEFORE SATURDAY

Corky O'Rorky, I just looked at every single skirt M&S are selling (or trying to sell). Very poor. I Like HC's Principles one. IS there something like a Debenhams with a personal shopper near you?

MrsBadger · 04/04/2007 22:19

cause if you're buying a new dress you shhould buy a nice one?

PrincessPeaHead · 04/04/2007 22:19

batik can be OK

dog-vomit coloured batik is never a good idea though.

Now I'm channelling my craft teacher. My GOD she had terrible BO

the temperley is gorge, pph thanks for swanking
that halter neck would make even you look hippy franny. and not in a love and peace man kind of way

(Sneaks in again) AitchTwoOh I just can't get my head round the newest 'look', I like the fact I go in and out, all the stuff in the shops just goes out!!
I'll let you know how I get on, I hate not feeling good about my clothes, I am usually happy with my choices and looks. Thanks for your comments,
(admires stylish and classy beads)

Lio there is indeed, that is an idea

HC how can I possibly look hippy, I am a size larger on top than on the hips?

MrsBadger · 04/04/2007 22:21

MrsB that is fab but for a 4 year old's birthday party?

OP posts:
PrincessPeaHead · 04/04/2007 22:24

next is always a shiteous idea

search is over, just buy my skirt, it is perfect. there can be no complaints. anyone who doesn't like it has no style. it is lovely, cool and economical.
