Can't decide.. buy or not

[ShopoholicIn]

hello all..
Need Some advise on the below 2 things.. nice or not.. please advise

I like the skirt, but not the trousers

I think it depends on your height. If the skirt ends longer on you than the pic, sort of mid calf or lower then we're talking Frumpy. Especially if you're wearing it with Birkenstock sandals.

It looks quite nice with a fitted white top tucked in.

Really not sure about the flarey shorts/trousers/cullottes. What are they?

Both would be lovely if they were longer. Or if you're of amazing height that makes that midi length work. Otherwise no.

Sainsbury's do have some lovely bits.

thanks all...I am 5ft 9 inches.. skirt is just covering my knee..

I would call them cullotes

Frumpsville I'm afraid. Soz.

A bit frumpy imho, sorry!

I wouldn't buy them op.

I suspect that you'll find them difficult to style and they'll sit in your wardrobe most of the time.

You can do better.

I think the word for those culottes would be “jazzy”.

The trousers/culottes are see through, I bought them but took them back

I like the skirt,I have a similar one but it needs careful styling if you don't want to look frumpy, in its favour, though, is that it is soooooo comfortable

I've just posted a link to that skirt on another thread. I think it's lovely!

I think it would be lovely with a white camisole, denim jacket if cooler or little cotton cardigan and tan sandals.

And oh how I hate the word 'frumpy'.

I think both of those could look very nice if styled well with the right shoes, top and jewellery. Agree a denim jacket, maybe some wedges with the skirt and a long silver necklace would look good. I've never worn culottes in my life but those are the sort of thing that someone who has a good eye and knows how to style an outfit could pull off really well. Not sure that see-through is a great feature though!

We all have different tastes but I would hate that skirt even more if it was teamed with a cardigan and tan sandals as suggested. It's all a bit Sunday school teacher.
I'm sure you'd hate the clothes I'm wearing though

Returned the cullotes n i did find the skirt frumpy... i will go for one size down n see
how it goes..thanks all

The shorts would look great on an olive skinned yoga godess however so would a black bin liner!

It depends on the cardigan and the sandals - and the person inside them!

Maybe OP is a bronzed yoga goddess?

I neither have your figure nor your style..
N i am size 14 n bigger on waist n bum... but i do like embroidered stuff (no offense but i think thats considered old lady like)... but will post the pic if i can get in one size down..

I'll tell my gorgeous dd that her beautiful embroidered jumper is old lady-ish, shall I? Then again, I doubt she'd give a fuck, to be frank (and thank goodness for that).
