perhaps cord?
looked all over today but no luck

I looked at this one but it is GREEN which wasn't quite what I had in mind
as usual the M&S website has made it look terrible but it was quite nice, no chance to try it on though

How about this - though I suspect it's rather longer than knee length.

JackieNo · 03/11/2007 20:20

Again, probably too long?

More White stuff.

JackieNo · 03/11/2007 20:22

And again?

JackieNo · 03/11/2007 20:24

The belt's removable (but no idea what colour 'hyde' is - might be grey)

harpsichordsgoingbangandwoosh · 03/11/2007 20:25

oh those white stuff ones are great! would never think of going in there.... thanks
Laura Ashley ones too long but at spelling mistake!
hmmmm, do I have a tummy?

OP posts:
harpsichordsgoingbangandwoosh · 03/11/2007 20:26

oh yes and there is a fat face in the Town Near Where We Live isn't there?

There is indeed a Fat Face there.

I actually emailed Laura Ashley the other day about the description of one of their skirts, it said 'In a stunning shade of blue with unattractive satin sheen' - I gently suggested that I thought it ought to say 'an attractive satin sheen'.

harpsichordsgoingbangandwoosh · 03/11/2007 20:28

well I do have tummy but it is rather a small issue next to the Arse and Norks so I don't worry about it much
but yes good point re the button

oh they spelt skirt wrong in your link of 20.22, they're nice aren't they!

FrannyandZooey · 03/11/2007 20:39

HC how peculiar I have been looking for the exact same thing for about a month

I even went to Debenhams and got the personal shoppers to look for me, but no dice

they have on in H+M but it looked terrible on me - just above the knee and very unflattering shape

harpsichordsgoingbangandwoosh · 03/11/2007 20:44

I looked in H&M but couldn't find anything I liked
I did find a grey one but it looked like it might be cut baaaaaaaadly and of course no chance to try on.
and a nice burnt orange blazer
didi you try Matalan or Primark?
oh and I thought you were going out?

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 03/11/2007 20:45

I went out

I came back

am i meant to be out AGAIN?

harpsichordsgoingbangandwoosh · 03/11/2007 20:46

oh I thought it was a Romantic Evening
should I look at Boden?
bound to be madly expensive
what did you think o the M&S one

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 03/11/2007 20:49

oh the Romantic Evening is meant to be tomorrow

we have more or less cancelled it actually because

a) our babysitter says she doesn't want to be late as is school night

b) ds says "I don't want X to put me to bed I only want mummy for ever and ever blah blah blah blah"

and most importantly c) we can't find anything we want to do

tillykins · 03/11/2007 20:49

Matalan do a cord skirt in brown - they have the same one in deep purple, which I have
Very comfortable, washes nice - can't remember how much, but not terribly expensive

M & S have a good few - if you go on their website you can do a search for brown skirts, which brought a few pages up

FrannyandZooey · 03/11/2007 20:50

the m+s one is quite nice but I think you want chocolate brown cord don't you? I know I do anyway

FrannyandZooey · 03/11/2007 20:51

I was just in Matalan did not see cord skirt

FrannyandZooey · 03/11/2007 20:52

I did see this though and have bought it

harpsichordsgoingbangandwoosh · 03/11/2007 20:57

yes I want chocolate brown cord please
will have a look at M&S but I hate that site
might try matalan
that top what would I look like in that
Hattie Jacques that's who

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 03/11/2007 21:01

LOL do you think I will too?

have looked at all brown skirts on M+S, all ugly

also debenhams

I am devoted to you

FrannyandZooey · 03/11/2007 21:03

that just looked like mad stalker comment tacked on end

I meant, "SEE how devoted I am to you, going through these crappy skirt sites"
