A lady at work was wearing a gorgeous pleated midi skirt, mostly a deep red/pink with a black stripe down the ridge of each pleat - so it looked sort of ombré but that was because the black bits were closer together at the top iyswim. It was sooo fab. She said it was a gift, from M&S but I can’t find anything similar on their site. Help me S&B, I want it in my life!

Is it this one?

The first one was a bit like this but nicer and not £110 www.reiss.com/p/ombre-pleated-midi-skirt-womens-marlie-in-berry-red/?hInd=2

Is this it in navy? On the M&S website. But only the navy version. Might find the red version in the actual shops?

Definitely try in store. I’m assuming it’s this. Have you tried eBay?

Ooh yes a red version of that navy one sounds right! Will try in store in case they have a few left... Grin

I did come across that one too!

Your name.... as in the place in Cumbria? I went to school in Egremont!

EgremontRusset · 04/01/2020 10:01

No just as in the apples...didn’t know it was also a place name!

Can’t find any trace of the book skirt but it’s bound to be on Etsy somewhere Grin

My friend has a gorgeous pleated skirt from New Look x

Lindy bop, cath kidston and Jolie do book print skirts although not that print.

TheCumbrian · 16/01/2020 22:48

I went to school in Egremonr

St Bees? (I didn't go but we did thrash them at hockey a few times).

mnahmnah · 18/01/2020 14:27

@TheCumbrian
No! My parents did try to make me go to St Bees. I ended up at Wyndham, as it was then before they realised how bad it was and we moved to another part of Cumbria!

Could it be this one?

BumbleBeee69 · 19/01/2020 20:10

did you find it OP.. I'm curious now Confused

MrsTommyShelby · 19/01/2020 20:12

I wish I could wear one, they just don't seem to sit right on me!

Lucked · 19/01/2020 20:20

I have got the navy version and it is great on - looks much more expensive than it is. I got loads of wear over Christmas but it is a bit fancy for my work, if I remember rightly the waistband is slightly sparkly.
