Leopard midi skirt!

I stupidly didn't buy one of these when they were everywhere last year. And now I want one to wear with my trainers and band t-shirts. Has anyone seen one anywhere? I am stalking eBay but no luck yet.

Zara have/had one. Its in the sale so not sure if its still available. It is £19.99

lurkingfromhome · 29/06/2018 18:16

I'm looking for the same although I think maybe more a maxi than a midi. If a midi, then probably an elasticated waist, flowing kind of relaxed affair. Can't find what I want anywhere.

The Zara one is only available in XS now but it does say the other sizes are coming soon. I think it might be a bit full for what I want.

I was looking at that Zara one. Sadly I am not an xs... I am also looking for something a bit floatier I think. I might try it though. I'm never sure about Zara sizing though. I'm generally a 12 but have just had a baby so have a massive jelly stomach.

And Other Stories have (or at least had) a lovely one. I’ve got the Zara one which was all over Instagram a couple of years ago and have worn it so much.

zippyswife · 29/06/2018 22:59

I’ve started a few similar threads in recent months. Thanks to this I’ve finally ordered the Zara one!

zippyswife · 03/07/2018 18:45

The zara one arrived. I am size 12 Apple with jelly stomach. It loooks good on! Just wondering how to style it? Does it need to be with trainers and tee to look current? I’m off away for the weekend and wanted to wear it in the evening... black sliders and a black vest tucked in? Or is that a bit meh?

zippyswife · 03/07/2018 18:46

It actually looked good with black ankle boots and a tee... but it’s way too hot at the minute for that!

What size did you go for zippy? I can't see any in stock on the website 😟
I think your outfit sounds Great!

I went for the M. Fits fine. Keep checking for stock. And when you get it in your basket check it out. I lost mine twice before I checked out successfully! I’m tall though- 5”7 and leggy. It comes below mid-calf on me. Would be maxi on other people I think. It’s a really nice cut. I’m slim limbed but my stomach after 3dcs 2 c sections is a mess (overhang). This skirt doesn’t seem to show it though. I’ll keep a look out and let you know if I see it back in stock.

How would you wear it more dressed up?

Thanks. I really hope it comes back into stock! Is it high waisted? If so I'd be tempted by a black crop top and studded ankle boots to dress it up. Or a black silky t-shirt. I'm not that fashionable though!!

OP posts:
zippyswife · 03/07/2018 21:17

I think it’s high waisted. Difficult to tell as I have no idea waist!! I’m straight up and down. Love your outfit idea. I’ll PM you if I see it back in. If you’re not as big as menon the stomach you could try the S? Stock coming soon?

Moonkissedlegs · 03/07/2018 21:44

I think I may have just bought this skirt! Blush

Moonkissedlegs · 03/07/2018 21:45

It was in stock in a L which might be a bit big but I went for it!

It's back in! No I'm definitely not a small. I can't decide between medium and large. I'm generally a 12 but I'm 6 weeks pp and carrying a lot of extra weight on my waist and stomach. I take it there's no stretch to the fabric?

OP posts:
zippyswife · 04/07/2018 06:06

No stretch at all but it kind of flattens. Better than if it was gathered. But both andvreturn one? It’s £50 for free postage anyway..

zippyswife · 04/07/2018 06:06

*buy both

Ah it's here and I love it!! Clearly a fatty as the l fits. But it's so much nicer than I expected.

borisinajohnson · 06/07/2018 15:47

I think I saw someone me on shein - I e never ordered tho. I got a new look one of eBay....

lurkingfromhome · 06/07/2018 16:37

Argh. I wish I'd got one now but they only have the L left and I'm a M. So tempted. If it comes back I might go for it.

What are you wearing it with? I'm not sure if I'd feel a bit conspicuous in it, since my whole wardrobe is black, grey and navy so this is a bit of a departure for me.

Keep an eye out, it pops in and out of stock. I've tried it on with a black vest and trainers. I also like it with a band t-shirt. I think in the winter it'll be nice with a jumper and boots.

takeyourcanvasbag · 06/07/2018 20:25

I’m a 10/12 and the L fits me well, it’s such a good skirt!! Really flattering. I was looking at a pleated leopard skirt from Next but pleased this one is so much better. I’ve just been wearing mine with black tshirt or vests tucked in but I agree it’ll look good in cooler weather too. I love it!

zippyswife · 08/07/2018 17:31

I’ve barely taken mine off. Worn it with black vest black/khaki T-Shirts... can’t believe how versatile it is. Looks kinda dressy and laid back all at once!

zippyswife · 08/07/2018 19:32

Glad that you got and love yours OP!
