Welcome to the last chance saloon, as this pay day is the final one before you have to start buying Christmas presents. You're going to want to spend your final ounce of financial freedom on something really, really worth it, so we've found you a skirt that you can wear all winter long before stripping your tights off in the spring and continuing to wear weekly into summer. (Don't say we're not thrifty here at *The Debrief). *
OK, so £310 for a mini skirt perhaps doesn't sound that thrify. But - justifications coming up - Carven are the ultimate label for quirky, keep it forever pieces. And this is one of them.

Here is how you can wear it four ways:
**Think Mod Squad Style With Tights And A Roll Neck
**
You've read it enough times by now to know that 1960's is one of the eras that the fashion world are in love with right now. And whilst we're not suggesting you buy into every new trend that comes around, who doesn't love the mini skirt and leather jacket look for it's ease? No wonder Kate Moss basically lives by that rule.

**The Casual Collegiate Look Will Also Work With Leopard
**
Don't make the mistake of thinking of leopard print as a statement print that needs dressing up. It's basically no different to a black/grey skirt by now. And that means you can team it with a slouchy jumper for a casual weekend/Friday look, like this. No - we're not sure how you're going to pull off bare legs. But... er.... Inside?

**
'What? I thought you just said it was all about the 1960's and now you're throwing 1970's vibes into this?' we hear you cry. Well, look, we never said the fashion world was consistent. And where Tom Ford - with his disco-loving collection leads - the rest follow so pussy bow blouses are going to be everywhere pretty soon. Which is fine with us, actually.

And Don't Be Afraid Of Double Leopard
Just make it subtle - and not exactly the same shade. Keeping the rest of this outfit neutral and putting darker tones of leopard in the bag make matchy-matchy not look Clarissa Explains It All.
