Can you afford it? If so, just buy it anyway! It's gorgeous, and simple enough to last.

Overtheatlantic · 10/04/2025 20:25

Buy it! It’s beautiful and classic and will be part of your wardrobe for many years to come.

Nah sequins will start dropping and you’ll hate it in six months

JenniferAnistonForReals · 10/04/2025 20:28

It’s beautiful. Buy it and wear it anywhere! I love getting dressed up in all the clothes I used to keep for ‘occasions.’

bigraspberry · 10/04/2025 20:28

It's lovely but it's not that different from all the sale rails a few months ago.

Sleepalldaylong · 10/04/2025 20:28

❤️ Buy it if you love it.

Life’s too short to turn away love.

You can admire it at home until you get a chance to wear it.

Do you really call your skirts "her"?

Make your own with a roll of tin foil 😉

Ohhh years a go when I was a skinny bitch I had a shiny silver high waist, floor length skirt like this. Minus the price tag and sequins. I loved it. Was great for summer and could be booted up in winter.

OK then. Here are 12 lies for you 😃

It's straight and boring.
Everyone has a sequined skirt.
Silver will restrict the colours you can wear it with.
Because it's shiny, it will show up every spare gram of fat.
You'll only be able to wear it at night so it's not value for money.
If some idiot throws up over it in a bar, you won't be able to wash it and it will stink for ever. (This one's true.)
Your mum will hate it.
Your dog will chew it.
If you go to Birmingham, it will attract rats.
It will snag your underwear.
It will shed sequins and everyone will know where you have been.
It will rustle when you walk and annoy your neighbours.

MoominMai · 10/04/2025 20:38

You’re not in love. You’re just lusting methinks. Its not an adaptable piece at all and yiu can really only wear it for an out out event and how many of them are there. Also will a sparkly long length skirt be the vibe for anything more than Xmas.

I had a silver slip skirt in the 90s. Maybe I’m just getting nostalgia?

Take a hint from how they style it - casual jumper and sandals. It doesn’t have to just be for very best!

These are all my exact concerns

Buy it.

MossLover · 10/04/2025 20:41

Giiiiirl, it’s £119!

pictoosh · 10/04/2025 20:42

Ach no. Where the hell would you wear something like that? A barbecue?

PrincessofWells · 10/04/2025 20:43

Well a garment with sequins has to be for life.
I would wear it on holiday in the evening with flip flops/sandals. It's lovely 💘

FlappyFish · 10/04/2025 20:44

Meh, but it if you can afford it. I’m a great enabler.

I was expecting something really ££££. 😝

AzurePanda · 10/04/2025 20:45

I have a skirt just like that and love it! I dress it up with a slinky top or down with a chunky jumper and wear it all year round. Sorry.
