    I can't help but think how wonderful it would be to have a shop dedicated to selling only these printed skirts!

  17. Thank you for starting this eye candy thread, I love novelty skirts!
    Unfortunately, I only have one to add to the lovely collection posted so far. I like to call the print atomic veggies!
    And luckily, I found a vintage Scottish lambswool sweater that matches it oh-so-well. :)
