I think I'm almost failing to buy a black denim short skirt. I've tried all my usual stores to no avail. I'm seeing MANGO has some up on their website but didn't see any in-store. A SA (the only nice one I found, btw), went in the storage room to check if there were any left (exactly, they were relegated to stock-room, not on the rails), she told me there weren't. Then said the black skirt was coated, which is not what I understand by 'denim black miniskirt'. I want something I can use for years to come, not something I'll be ashamed of in two seasons.

The funniest anecdote was when I enter this store, and approach the SA. She's smiles at me, politely. And I ask, 'excuse me, have you got any black denim skirts left?'. She looked at me as if I was asking for a turquoise midi with sequins on the waist-band, lace at the bottom, a slit at the front and polka dots somewhere in the middle. She could have said 'Oh my, but that is SO 2011'.

PS: Was looking for something like this, slightly longer though.
