I saw a picture, online, of a Midi skirt and loved the rich colours and check design. So, after doing some detective work, I spotted this Mango skirt and immediately sent for it. It’s a lovely light wool and the colours are khaki and brown tones with buttons down the front.
There are, of course, so many different ways you can style this skirt. These versatile colours allow me to wear the skirt with a neutral colour palette or bolder, contrasting tones. This skirt, for me, is a classic piece that I can wear, for many years to come.
The Midi is my favourite length – I find it very flattering for me. This skirt is a timeless classic. During this season, there couldn’t be a more perfect fabric. To me, it oozes femininity and style. It’s great, either dressed up with heels or knee-high boots, or simply dressed down and casual, with ankle boots.

Here, I have matched my skirt with a – winter white – “French Connection” coat, a pop of red cashmere, completing the look with long black leather boots..I really love neutral tones as they add a timeless and sophisticated look, particularly when worn together.
I have also added a faux fur “French Connection” gilet (below), along with a timeless cashmere sweater from Marks and Spencer to complete the look.

I bought this brown jacket, recently, in the “Zara” sale. It was reduced from £119.00 to £29.99 – I couldn’t believe my luck!! I know I will get a lot of wear out of it.

Hi Gail,
Thank you – I’ve had this coat for ages – at least ten years – the colour it is, i’m a little scared to wear it all of the time – I just get visions of either chocolate or red wine getting spilt on it!
Lovely to meet you too!

I’ve been debating about buying a cream coat. They just look so glamorous and elegant. Worried about my clumsy spillages though! This looks great on you xx

Thank you! I haven’t worn it a lot for the same reasons. I can be very clumsy. That’s probably why the coat still has that new look as it is quite old. I saw a lovely long, beige wrap coat advertised from Marks and Spencer, which, I may check out as I liked the look of it!

I hardly ever buy at full price. You’ve got a fab skirt there.
Thanks for joining #muttonstylemonday #linkup and I hope you’ll come over again tomorrow.

Thank you, Anna. Me too, I always wait for at least 20% off, or for the item
to go down in the sale. Now, when I buy something I always think will I still
love this in six months, or five years time even?
Thank you for starting this linkup – I don’t think many people know I’m here, so I really
appreciate it!

Hi Emma,
Yes, this skirt is a very versatile print, I am getting a lot of wear out of it.
I love a bargain and this brown jacket from Zara is lovely quality – I think it was
£119 at full price, so I was very happy!
thank you
