Pleats please. A last look at the sales...
Thinking about my failure with the £125 polyester Jigsaw skirt I tried on the other day...I still have a slight hankering after a pleated skirt. Just preferably one that is a bit more substantial and / or less costly - i.e. better value all round.
An online hunt has turned up the following:
Jigsaw shell pleated skirt - £44 - now that's more like it!
LK Bennett - hmmm still polyester but the print would work with my navy stuff - and a better price at £40... (also comes in red)
Not sale alas - cashmere blend from Pure Collection - could be better for winter wear - and code TAC111 gives 25% off all from Pure Collection :-)
River Island Grey Pleated Maxi Skirt - reduced to £24.50 Bit undecided about the grey though (too light?) and somehow looks very maxi, i.e. might be too long on me
Finally, not black - but love the design - (and Kate Middleton was spotted wearing this print in a dress - so would be in good company, amazed it hasn't sold out!) Utter bargain now for just £17.
Great Plains Cezanne Paintbox Pleated Skirt - £17.70 http://www.greatplains.co.uk/product/Woman Sale Skirts And Shorts/J3AL8/Cezanne Paintbox Pleated Skirt.htm
Out of that little lot, I am sorely tempted to try the first (Jigsaw £40) and the last (Great Plains £17) - as they offer really good reductions - AND I'd have a black pleated skirt and a colourful one - both for less than the cost of the original new season Jigsaw offering. That has to be a bargain in anyone's book!
I also really like the non reduced Asos midi. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions...
Watch this space... :-)
