Oh my word.

those skirts are vile

Per Una makes me feel all hot-flushy and weak of bladder. And I am only 27.

Flllightattendant · 23/02/2008 15:18

Ooh
Ouch
I just had a look at that lot.

I'm going to go and drink ds2's bottle of nurofen.

Imagine looking at those prints if you were on hallucinogenic drugs?

Nah, fuck it, looking at those prints is akin to being on hallucinogenic drugs

Per Una is where school curtains go to die.

My sister loves it. And she is a very thin Joanna Trollopesque type.

They do like the leather thong trim, don't they? Very racy.

I think there is a lot to be said for the rubbish styling here. I have this and it is my favourite top. It is great colours for me and a fab shape too. Should I be .
I have had compliments. I do like colour and pattern though.

In P'runa's defence they do make skirts that suit the British pear shape (ie A line, for those like myself who are heavy of arse, thigh, calf and ankle).

Which many high street shops don't - I'm forever wading through rails of 'in at the knee' skirts tailored to suit the typically Mediterranean apple with shapely legs but thicker waist.

Some of their ruffles, lime greens and floral dangly bits are well excessive though. If you can find a nice plain grey in amongst that lot, it's generally not too bad and very wearable.
