THE ULTIMATE MAXI

The weather was so uncharacteristically NICE today that I was able to walk around town all day in this:




and not even feel chilly. Don't worry, there are shorts hiding under there.

I checked out H&M quickly & whilst rifling through the sales racks I picked up their olive green maxi skirt to try on - great fit and all but how do people walk in those things? I take long steps when I walk and the jersey maxi kind of restricts your leg movement.

Therefore my ultimate maxi dress/skirt (which I WILL find asap, or make if I damn well have to) will have the following qualities:

1. An element of sheerness (i.e. the H&M sheer maxi skirt featured in previous post)
2. A slit on one side. Not only is the occasional flash of bare leg incredibly sexy but I would like to be able to walk properly without fear of tripping over myself.
3. Pleating (not 100% necessary, but certainly preferable).

I don't think that's too much to ask, is it?

Anyyyyway. Yesterday evening I discovered Fashiolista and predictably the rest of the night was spent browsing and "loving" gazillions of gorgeous items.
