Oh, it's a lovely skirt but not for me. I am a size 18 and all those pleats would not be a good choice.......... sad face!!

Skirt looks lovely and so do the shoes :-)

Lovely shoes, chelseababy. I think they will be fine. Maybe you could take a lighter colour pair as Teetime suggests to ring the changes, but the ones you have look really nice.

chelseababy the shoes are nice and smart and could be worn with skirts or trousers. Lighter coloured shoes (e.g. natural) make your legs look longer and might look better if you are wearing summery clothes.

That’s really nice. I didn’t see it in our branch this morning. It actually looks good in all the colours, but the navy looks almost glossy. Looks to be quite a heavy fabric too. Good choice!

You ladies put me to shame - denim jeans and flats wearer!

I need some cruise shoes too, but my feet are awkward to fit. M&S shoes are either too big or too small with nothing in between. I'm afraid I'll have to buy expensive ones from a proper shoe shop. ?

And I've just bought these for our forthcoming cruise. Are they ok for formal evenings?

I like it, it might be worth making the trip to my nearest M&S. I've got some pretty tops that would go nicely with the cornflower blue one.

Thank you yes I think it will require ironing but for the price its very good quality and can be dressed up or down so very versatile. DH does our ironing!!!

Oops, what went wrong there?

Here you go Teetime,

This is my favourite colour from those on offer.

Just bought this lovely skirt in navy from M & S so ordered another in royal blue immediately. So rare for me to get something from M & S that is stylish , good quality and a good fit- ideal summer skirt.
