Dead. But refusing to lie down.

This skirt died in 1989 (I have the certificate) but, like some dreadful revenant in a horror movie, the noisome remains of the deceased suddenly appear in your wardrobe to remind you of some past misdeed which must be atoned.

The wearer will be doomed forever to a dowdiness so thorough they may never see the light of Day Birger et Mikkelson again.  Combining a below-knee length skirt with a pair of tedious flats is so utterly joyless even a bunny gambolling through sun-dappled woods fails to animate.  It certainly won't animate this particular corpse.

I notice New Look, whose zombie apocalypse this skirt heralds, have now replaced the sturdy countrywoman shoes in this image with heels.  Which makes it all much better.

£24.99.
