Max Factor


They say if you keep something long enough it will come back into fashion - and here's proof.
I bought this skirt in 2004 from Dorothy Perkins.
Today I went into Dorothy Perkins and saw an almost identical version - take a look here.
I have around three of these long tiered skirts - one in pink and another in black.
And as you can see I have worn them when they weren't bang on trend.
I feel like one of those sad runners who gets lapped in a race.
Depending on how you look at it they are so far behind they're ahead!

Today I wore:
Shoe s- Clarks
Skirt - Dorothy Perkins
Vest - Gap
Scarf - Betty Jackson

  6. Hahah, I love your analogy!
    I guess that is the benefit of being a pack rat, and the sad truth of fashion.

    The only thing that is new is what has been forgotten.

  7. And sadly I remember buying something very similar in about 1987. That makes me a very sad, old runner.

  10. I really think these long skirts have become a classic. Yes, sometimes more in the news than other times but never totally out of style in warm climates.

  12. I keep loads of my clothes and still wear them (like you said even when there not bang on trend anymore) and am wearing a skirt similar to the one you are wearing here, today, from when the whole gypsy theme was in around 2003!

    Great look on you btw!
