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

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.

Panacotta, that Monsoon one is very beautiful but not very me. I'm not sure I'm a geometric shapes sort of person.

The Principals one I would get a lot of wear out of. It is a good colour, a flattering style on me and goes with lots in my wardrobe. I think that's the winner so far (although my heart didn't flip for joy when I saw it - am I expecting too much from this skirt?).

And I had just decided what I needed was something greenish or pinkish...

Sputnik, thanks but I felt the matching top might be a bit too much. Not sure I could carry it off!

sorry but I think its a bit granny (not at all convinced by Per Una I'm afraid).
Phase Eight often have lovely skirts btw, do you have a local concession?
