Is anyone bored enough or kind enough to help me find a beautiful skirt?

[PuhPeng]

I would like a new long skirt.
Ankle length (I'm 5'4")
Size 12 or 14.
High street prices - About £65 would be my maximum I think.

I'd like something summery, pretty, useful and wearable. Generally things catch my eye if they're a bit unusual or quirky.
I don't usually go for prints (though it's not a rule)
Colours that I like: Brown, turquoise, slub green, apple green, pink.

I tend to live in long skirts, and already have...
A dark petrol blue needle cord one with a kick flair.
A mushroom brown A-line with a-symetrical aplique in pinks, browns and greens.
A full, indian style turquoise one with a print.

This one www.boden.co.uk/sale/col.asp?segname=Women&styid=WG256&segid=6&gpname=Skirts&desname=Swishy+Silk+Ski rt&gpid=26&gen=#img is still available in green in a size 12.

Very pretty but not long enough - I have cankles.

there's a really nice Africainy print one in Monsoon - I'll go & try to do a link!

east ,sizes are v generous

That Masai skirt is lovely. Wonder if it would be long enough?

Hadn't thought of looking in East - looks like they have some nice skirts in too.

Off to browse...

punky fish is colourful!

I think its lovely & am thinking of buying it for myself - am, in fact, just in the middle of looking for a top to go with it. Its for a Christening & party afterwards. Any ideas?

have you tried noa noa? v difficult to find online so cannot link to anything useful. lovely heavy fabrics in muted colours. also all their skirts are hopeless shape on me as they are too long. could be ideal for you.

otherwise kew?

oh dear! I've gone & bought that Monsoon skirt....that's the problem with online shopping!

Oh Noa Noa - good thinking. There's a boutique shop near me that often has their stuff in. Will pop in.

I keep getting all excited and then realising that I'm looking at yet enother shin length skirt.

Punky Fish looks ace - never heard of them before.

Laura Ashley sometimes comes up trumps but not floating my boat skirt-wise this spring.

Will keep a look out for a top Choc.

How are you getting on PP?

I like the punky fish link ggirl, I hadn't heard of it either.

Struggling a bit Chocolate - partly because my sat night internet connection isn't up to much. Found a top yet?

ggirl - have you bought much from punky fish? Am unnerved by the 'one size' aspect of their skirts. In my experience when a cool, funky shop does 'one size' it's generally a teeny weeny size.

Any of these? Mostly quite plain.

How about this?
Too much pattern?
Not sure about this one
Probably not long enough
Definitely long enough, I think

That Joe Browns is a great site. I love some of the shorter skirts. Damn my orrible legs .

Thank you for all links so far. Am going to bed now but will check back tomorrow.

This comes in brown or turquoise

Chocolateshoes, re the Monsoon skirt, there's a matching top here, or would that be ott?

Sputnik that skirt is bloody gorgeous. I want it I want it! And it's really similar to one I have so it would not be A Sensible Buy.

Want it.

This is gorgeous and long
