Google Gurus, can you find me a not too expensive, knee length cord skirt please?

Slightly A line, knee length or slightly shorter, needs to go with black calf length boots, so possibly black, or ???

I have been googling for an hour and have found one on Boden which sold out whilst I was deliberating , and one on La Redoute, which I don't really trust, as some things I have bought from them before have been crappy.
TIA

I have a brown one from Monsoon. Buttons up the front. But they have a sale on now - would it still be there I wonder?

JackieNo · 02/01/2008 22:18

Darn - only in brown.

Astrophe · 02/01/2008 22:19

Jackie, something more a line would be ideal, but for £10 that looks pretty good. Have you bought from them before?

Can't see it on the website...

JackieNo · 02/01/2008 22:22

Haven't bought - but they do have a lot of well-priced stuff.

I suspect this is too long. And both it and this are only available in 'mink', which is really brown, isn't it.

JackieNo · 02/01/2008 22:24

Ooh - how about blackcurrant?

JackieNo · 02/01/2008 22:26

Too much detail? Poss too short, as well.

gigglewitch · 02/01/2008 22:27

blardy hell i went off for a quick (??) look and look how much you've done

JackieNo · 02/01/2008 22:28

More from that site.

i ordered a skirt from la redoute in september, it is 'coming soon'.

it is a tricky one astrophe, most alines are below knee.

JackieNo · 02/01/2008 22:33

Bit pricey.

Astrophe · 02/01/2008 22:33

Jackie, you are good! But yes, too much detail, too long, too short etc. Who would have thought it would be hard to find eh? I'm after something pretty casual, to wear during the day, possibly smarten up with a nice top on the rare occasion I go out at night!

I am off to bed, but will check up on your hard work tomorrow

oh yeah, I found that howies one as well - I like it, but I can't afford it They are fair trade I think? Maybe that accounts for the price?

OP posts:
JackieNo · 02/01/2008 22:37

Yes - they are fair trade. It's a nice one. Night.

JackieNo · 02/01/2008 22:40

Might this work?

littleboo · 03/01/2008 12:54
