should i email jigsaw and explain the credit crunch to them?

[JustCallMeGoat]

i love this skirt but no way on earth am i coughing up nearly 100 of my hard earned english pounds for the thing.

It is a very nice skirt, mind you. And Jigsaw's good quality ime.

i know it isn't blow your mind pretty but i want something like this for work situations where i have to scrub up.

I like it (the red is ghastly though).

Can you also email Mulberry and tell them I decline to pay £395 for a handbag - thank you.

but fimbo it is an 'investment piece'.

It's ok, but def not worth £100. I notice they are calling it a 'piece', as in the tucky-in bit is the focus of the 'piece'. IMO calling a £100 skirt a 'piece' is a bit poncey of them.

Mulberry handbag on the other hand, more justified (and true) to refer to as a piece.

i love 'piece' it is so poncy [ignores ruby and her terrible taste]

When you write, tell them that the hike in their prices over the last 2 seasons is outrageous!
Also tell them that their clothes are now, overall, dull. They have lost that quirky bohemian feel and are all shapeless.

I used to think I could blow £1K in Jigsaw in a few minutes- now I just come out feeling depressed- at the clothes and the fact that anything I DO like is a crazy price.

i had an amusing experience last week in jigsaw. Tried on a pretty necklace for £19 and took it to the till - lady cashed up and then asked for £119 at which point i shrieked - how much!!!

I'd read the tag wrong but honestly it was worth £19 at a push but certainly no more. Needless to say it went back on the shelf.

It's ugly. Expensive and ugly.

Look at that, they've finally sorted their website out, it used to be far-away models sitting under gypsy caravans and you couldn't see anything.

I like the skirt. Buy it, it'll be a skirt you'll wear all the time and wonder what you wore to work before you had it.

£239.00 for this one! What am I missing? It's horrible

Oh, I do like it when fashion writers call an item of clothing a piece. Ditto calling a pair of trousers a trouser and a t shirt a tee.

save your cash on something nicer

I do not understand how an item of clothing can possibly be worth £100, or even £50. I really really don't.

I love it and would prob pay if I had the cash

That is a blardy horrible skirt, even if it was £20. Grey grey grey. Yuck. Why is there so much grey in shops these days? No-one looks good in it.

If you want formal, get a black suit.

You have to look at the matching top to that orange skirt to get the full horrible-ness of the piece

Looks like something Auntie Mabel would not wear

It's not grey, it looks grey in the photo, but if you look up close it's a sort of black and white cross-hatching effect.

It's a cross-hatched piece with a feature detail. Worth every penny.

I saw that Mme Lindt but thought it'd be too traumatic to post. Especially the view from the back

What the hell. The whole outfit for just under half a thousand pounds

Tinker,
True, very good of you. We do have pregnant and breastfeeding women on this site.

Cross hatched me arse! It's GREY!
