Talk me down from buying this skirt

[Eminybob]

I love her.

I have no occasion to wear her. Maybe when Christmas comes round but I wouldn’t want to wait until then.

But I love her.

Ah I saw this when looking for the Hush one on Vinted that I linked to upthread, and nearly included it as a much cheaper suggestion!! Enjoy, OP.

It's more a winter piece and it's coming into summer so I doubt it will be a best seller. Likely will go into sale and you can get it for a better price.

Go to Tesco and get one in their sale for a tenner, you won't be able to tell the difference.

It’s free delivery!

It may be heavy and hot and you’ll only wear it a couple of times in December (I love sequins and the skirt but I am trying to put you off).

There are better skirts. That’s all shiny and jangly. You will wear it once and find it hideously impractical

It's very lovely, have you done a cost per wear calculation? Of course you could wear it to the supermarket to do you weekly shop to ensure you get your money's worth but even then it works out quite pricey. I would say if you love it buy it, once when I was young and reckless I spent my council tax money on a crimson silk top, I saw it and I HAD to have it!

I was going to say - don’t buy the skirt! Then I saw it…. 😍

It’s a bit 2007. Worn by those trying to be edgy.

On the strength of this thread I wore my silver (M&S) sequin midaxi skirt out for drinks tonight, with a plain white cotton T-shirt and white trainers. I felt amazing. Never thought I’d wear sequins outside of December. Buy the skirt OP! (soz, I realise you wanted talking out of it!)

I think it’s bloody lovely and I hear it calling your name … 😂

OK.
Reasons you shouldn't buy it:

• those sequins will drop off. One pops and the rest....
• they will catch on all your knitwear
• sequiny shiny skirts nice for a one off but the look will tire if you wear it repeatedly
• doesn't look comfortable
• you can't wear it to sleep or lounge around

And a miserable face, she doesn’t look very happy with the skirt

It sits in a very strange place on the model (low on her hips). It’s also telling that they’ve styled it with hem of the top just resting on the waistband and not tucked it. It’s OK if you’ve got long legs, but a very low waistband can look deeply unflattering both in terms of all long waist and short legs, and making you look wide round the waist. It’s a hard no from me.

If you go to Birmingham, it will attract rats

Don’t get this one?

Ahh yes that made me cringe a bit .

I noticed some posters call a handbag "she" ( nope it's a bit of leather sewn up ) 😏

I e just bought the Jaspre one on the back of this thread. Though I think a 14 might be a bit ambitious …

I see all the anti-sequin nay-sayers ,I'm guessing you don't go on cruises?
Formal night is like we've all raided Liberace's Charity Donation bags

I have a black version of this and have never found a way to wear it which makes me feel good.I'm 5ft 4 and size 10.I think I'm going to start wearing it casual with a white t shirt, black jumper and high top black converse.When I dress it up I can't get the length to work .So I say don't buy it .It's hard to style.

I can't think of many things worse than a formal night on a cruise tbh

Think I had something quite similar when I was 16 😂

I think it’s very cool on a cool tall person. Which I am not. But op if your cool enough I think it could look amazing go for it!

I had terrible taste

Pretty sure my local charity shop has 2 of these in for a fiver 🤣 don't waste your money just go browsing

If you wanna look like a roll of tin foil then you go for it!
