I had a chino skirt similar to that, and I’m also sure I had a navy version too.

It’s nice but can you do much more than waddle in it?

Ooh love the chino skirt! Heard on the radio that the next trend is long denim skirts and now I'm annoyed as I had a great one that I dug out of the back of my wardrobe and gave to charity last year.

I love that chino skirt.

Recently I've been seeing chinos and cargo pants everywhere.

It's lovely but it would crease to buggery on me, right across the hips. cf cargo pants. I've given up.

There’s a split at the back so it should be fine for walking.

See this is why I find decluttering so impossible. Each time I do a wardrobe clear out there's always things I regret giving away.

I have one that I’m going to sell as I’m never going to fit in it again. It’s probably a UK size 12 or 14- I’d be happy to send it to a turtle instead?

I am very tempted by this. It’s pricey but I have credit card points that would cover it.

Well that’s basically free, so you may as well!

I think I like these shoes. I wanted some chain loafers, but can’t find the exact style I’m after (Clarks Cecilia c. 1998 :) ) and my fat trotters are more suited to a ballet pump. There’s a high chance these could be awful in the flesh though.

I found a Madewell denim midi skirt on ebay super cheap and took a gamble and it's perfect!

I wasn't sure what I'd wear it with but tried it on just now with what I was wearing - a cropped black cardigan and black crew neck t-shirt and like it. I'll probably wear it with clogs when it's warm enough :perky:

I absolutely cannot wait to wear the skirt with bare legs when it’s warm enough. Especially now I’ve stretched it out :)) I forgot how much denim shrinks in the wash.

I am feeling allured to this jumpsuit. I tried it on in black for size but I think I’d order it navy or denim. It’s a really soft fabric and feels gorgeous on. Is is a bit elderly ladies in Florida though?
