I am wearing my Ibex skirt today.
I've only worn it once or twice, even though I've had it for 2 years. It's hard to find something that looks good with it; I love the wide waist band and it is very flattering, but when I pair it with most of my sweaters which have a new, longer length, it becomes very unflattering. I have one shorter sweater from about 5-6 years ago and with a tucked in shirt this looks OK. I tried it with a Shak, thinking I could have an Ibex "suit," but that looked awful.
I think this is a short person's problem.

Could you post a picture of that skirt?
I have one floor-length black skirt, bellshaped, that *only* goes with a long tightfitting singlet-type top over, to smooth out the blippety waistline, and a short, cropped almost, wool sweater over that - that itches like the devil. Looks nice, but not very versatile.

I'm "into" skirts and especially dresses at the moment, I splurged and bought a couple of really nice thin merino wool dresses recently for a wedding and a birthday party, that can also be used for work I'll see if I can find the photos I snapped with my phone when I was trying to decide the colour (yeah, I sent them home and asked my dh to help me choose ). Pretty, huh? First time ever shopping in a real live designer store...
