So do I keep this Boden skirt or not ?

This is the article in question www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Skirts/Knee-Length-Skirts/WG366/Womens-Striped-Pencil-Skirt.html?NavGro upID=13

I think I like it but not too sure how much I would use it and even with 15% discount it's a bit more than I would normally spend on a skirt ( although this could be because I usually shop at Sainsburys or M&S).

The stripes are bold and although horizontal it doesn't look unflattering although I am a size 14. Can see me wearing it on holiday with a white top, but not sure if I could use at work.

Any thoughts ladies ?

do you mind everyone knowing you are wearing a boden skirt?

Sadly not really at least they will know I haven't got it from Sainsburys and I haven't seen anyone else wearing it ( perhaps with good reason) unlike the Boden macs which are practically de rigeur for drop off at a certain school that I pass on my way into work.

I think it's sweet. A keeper.

You are only thinking you like it so for nearly £60 I would send it back. If it was a few quid it wouldn't matter too much if you only wore it a few times.

Agree w Fab, if you loved it, you should get it. But it sounds like you are not sure. Personally, I don't like it - lollipop colours, but its your taste that matters here, not mine.

Maybe I'm getting surer, my reaction when I read Fabs response was to think it's my skirt and I want to keep it.

If I'm not sure about something I have bought I always return it, as it usually means I don't love it or it doesn't really suit me. I have to say I have never regretted returning clothes, only keeping things that I have ended up not wearing and wasting money!

I really like it, but I am a regular Boden shopper.
I only have a 10% code though, any chance you could share the 15% off code.

I really like it - I've looked at it every time they send me a catalogue (almost weekly) and been tempted It is pricey for a skirt though so if you don't think you will wear it often then perhaps you should return it.

I like it, like the colours and the length etc, but on me it would look yuk, and I dont wear skirts very often. It is nice though.

Thanks everyone.
My friend has just been over and I tried it on to see what she thought and she said it was lovely, so I am keeping it.

Due to discount it is £50 rather than £60, still expensive for me though. However am returning unpleasant Photographers jacket with no collar that made me look like Chairman Mao, bog standard t shirt with too long body and odd jersey cardigan that rave reviews ( do you think they write those themselves ?) convinced me to try, so really I am actually saving lots of money.

Uggmum 15% discount code is LNSP, hope you find something you like.

I really like it and it doesn't look to 'Bodeny' either.

Think of all the colours you could wear with it as well as white.

Thanks boogywoogy and others that said they liked it -arrgh am I turning into one of those AIBUers who refuse to listen to anything except their own point of view ?

I love it

Thanks for the code, bought some lovely items x

I got it ages ago with the ten pound off and I love it. Its really flattering. I think it will be great for the cruise Im going on. Trouble is, I havent a clue what to flipping wear with it.... And, tanned legs are a must!

Glad you got some stuff uggmum.

See you nailed the problem with it kittya. I suspect it might look naff with flesh coloured tights but live in Scotland so milk bottled pins are the norm. Oh well it is fabulous, la la la la la......

I would say its very much a holiday skirt, a holiday somewhere hot that is!! It is very pretty though and surprisingly flattering. I think more muted colours would make it more practical. I havent been too moved by their clothes this time.

not keen.

They do do some nice skirts, but that aint one of them. Send it back and get a nice one.
