What do you think of this skirt?

here

Not just in a 'would you wear it?' way but also 'what would you think of someone else who was wearing it'?

I think it's stupid and you'd have to be v. young to pull it off.

Owls · 19/02/2009 13:02

Errrr.... hideous and why would you?

fishie · 19/02/2009 13:03

i think its nice. depends what you'd usually wear.

cheesesarnie · 19/02/2009 13:04

Kathyis6incheshigh · 19/02/2009 13:05

Don't apologise Cheesesarnie, I wanted to know, that's why I was posting

jolly good!suddenly thought you might have designed it or you just brought it or whatever!

i do like what dh calls'weird' but i think slightly unusual clothing but thats not my thang!

LadyThompson · 19/02/2009 13:20

I think it's rather nice, actually. But only with a black top/other black stuff to go with it.

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 19/02/2009 13:33

I think it depends on you and who you are - your personality, your work - and when and where you would wear it. I can see that it could look quite cool (like the way it is worn in the photograph) but I imagine you need to be perhaps a bit arty or creative.......iyswim? If I saw someone wearing it, I would think that they probably were exactly that.

But no, am not hugely offended by it

sagacious · 19/02/2009 13:36

I think you're a little short to carry it off

Sorry

sagacious · 19/02/2009 13:37

ba boom

tish

Kathyis6incheshigh · 19/02/2009 13:37

The thing is it would be hugely appropriate for my work - without saying too much about the subject I teach, the fact that it has a collection of old photos on it would be very relevant
I think my students would be impressed as long as it is not breaking some style rule that I'm not aware of

LOL Sagacious! Wisecracks like that are the reason I don't change my name.

I don't like it. But if I saw someone wearing it with a black top and black boots I'd think it looked ok. I was going to suggest a skirt with a print on instead but if it is relevant to you and you like it then go for it!

KingRolo · 19/02/2009 13:41

I like it!

You might look at little like you were copying Lily Allen though - she is wearing something similar in her new video.

muddleduck · 19/02/2009 13:43

I think the fact that it is "relevant" makes it worse not better. But I can't work out why I think this

Kathyis6incheshigh · 19/02/2009 13:44

I barely know who Lily Allen is but I imagine she is someone young people like, so perhaps that would count in my favour

cheesesarnie · 19/02/2009 13:44

i do like lilly allens bambi dress!

cheesesarnie · 19/02/2009 13:46

here.

wear that too work!

Bobbiewickham · 19/02/2009 13:47

I really like it, but only with black.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 19/02/2009 13:48

I like the way she has dyed her hair to match the pink bits on the dress. That takes planning!

OP posts:
Kathyis6incheshigh · 19/02/2009 13:48

Could one conceivably wear it with a white t-shirt in the summer? Or not?

OP posts:
TheThoughtPolice · 19/02/2009 13:50

I'm not massively keen but I can't say that I would think twice about someone else wearing it if I walked past them in the street

monkeysmama · 19/02/2009 13:51

Umm - no, no, no.

Flightattendant27 · 19/02/2009 13:52

Kathy I really like the grey Rob Ryan version, (page two of grown up kits) they have a lot of cool skirts, was lusting after them the other day! I'm not sure the photo one is as nice though.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 19/02/2009 13:58

Mmm I agree Flightattendant.
They have some nice ones and some foul and bizarre ones. WTF are they on with the bustle skirt? The halterneck dress is not too good either.
