"I bought the black and grey skirt and I really love it. I've worn it a few times and it always gets a positive comment. It looks great with boots and tights now that the winter is here and even though it's two toned I find it can be worn with a contrasting colour (e.g. coral) for a bit of colour.
On the subject of the pockets - I don't find them as much of an issue as others, and they wouldn't stop me buying one of these skirts again, but to me they don't add great value either (I don't keep anything in them!) so I won't be upset if they go.
I remain a big fan of the Boden fun skirt!"
