I’m very allured to this Hush skirt.

I do love the print and colours. The tiers make it a bit cottage core.

that looks a bit like my favourite quilt cover, which is seersucker gingham. It's a bit knackered now, perhaps I could repurpose it!

I love long tiered skirts (have one on today myself!) but tend to go for bright prints with a white T-shirt or shirt on top.

Glossing over the really rather rude comment ( :)) ), I also like these shoes very much.

If that was at me, I was saying I like the fabric!

Pip I'm eyeing up a simliar Hush skirt in blue with little lightning bolts on :)). I also love those shoes, where are they from please? Although sadly I don't think I have a pink shoes lifestyle.

The shoes are cute!

I really need some new birkie type sandals though.

The pockets are great. I really really love the fabric too just not that style (on me). There is a dress in the same fabric but it looks a bit nighty-ish.

I also need new Birkenstocks. I really love the big buckle ones but tort buckle rather than the gold.

The shoes are Next! They’re from the Nadiya Hussain edit. She looks so cute in them all, I love her.

I think that's really cute, but it bothers me that the fruit doesn't line up in the front.

It is like the crocs in top form :mrgreen:

I honestly do still harbour a secret yearning for the strawberry crocs :cry:

Now you’ve pointed that out it annoys me too.

I think it’s one of those prints that works better as gift wrap or a tablecloth. So you can enjoy it without being worn by it.
I’ve fallen into the trap of bold prints many many times. I enjoy owning them more than wearing them often.

That’s a really interesting point you make there, Pip. I love a bold print, and have lots of them in my wardrobe - I have never worried that it’s wearing me, rather than the other way around. I am quite tall (and an extrovert) - I wonder if that makes a difference?

I’m a huge fan of a print & do wear them, but I also get tired of them quickly, or worry that people think I only own one thing (no one would ever think that!).
