I think that this skirt is too long so I’m in the process of taking up the hem,but I like it because it’s light and the colours just seem to go with everything I own.
I thought I’d see how it looked with a darker, tougher pallet of leather and black and white- there is a lot of black and white in my wardrobe.
The tag says 12 but the waist measures 25″ so I’d say that it was made when a size 12 measured completely differently to today’s standards. You can only imagine how tiny an 8 must have been if a size 12 is 25″!
To borrow a line from Just Say When, this is pretty much how I felt when I tried it on:
‘Her mind is buzzing with unanswered questions:
(a) Who the hell made this dress?
(b) Did some unfeeling fool change the dress/size label?
(c) Has the whole world gone mad?’
You can read the whole article here, but it’s a nice little piece on what many of us face when we shop for second hand clothes.
On another fashionable note, the Sonia Rykiel range for H&M has been released in London and you can see a gallery here.
I have my spies in London working to get my hands on a couple of pieces, the sweaters would be just perfect to wear this autumn don’t you think?
And don’t get me started on the fact we don’t have H&M here is Australia……
