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.

I forgot this one - one of my favorites!
