Quest for a dip-hem skirt

I have had a LOT of random outbursts of shopping recently. I literally don't seem to be able to control myself - as soon as I log on to my laptop, I suddenly find myself browsing through ASOS without even realising! My latest obsession is dip-hem skirts. These skirts seem to be everywhere right now, and I think they're really flattering for all shapes and sizes. The longer back allows you to dabble in midi/maxi skirts without fully committing as it's still a mini at the front - I think this is ideal for shorter girls like myself who fear looking like they're drowning in fabric when wearing a maxi! They mostly come in chiffon, which means they can easily be dressed up, but there are some more casual jersey options around as well. My quest for the perfect dip-hem skirt started on eBay, always a good place to start for the cash-strapped student.

This colourful quartet can be purchased for just £7.99 each and come in Black, Cerise, Turquoise and Coral. The skirts are made out of jersey, with an elasticated waistband that makes them look pretty damn comfy. For this price, I don't see how you can go wrong - however, I was looking for a lighter colour, so decided to carry on looking. 

Glamorous <em>Dip Hem Skirt</em> Size 8 

This beauty comes from Bank (£25) and you know what that means - student discount! I love this salmon pink colour and the wavy hem. Very very tempted to purchase this. 

Deep green <em>dip hem skirt</em> 

Perfect for tapping into the underwater trend that is so hot right now, this deep sea green version comes from Dorothy Perkins and is a very purse-friendly £15. 

 
This pleated version is from Topshop - I adore the ice-cream lilac shade and the pleats mix things up a little. I can see this being paired with brogues and a peter pan collar shirt for school-girl chic. 

 
This version from Republic has to be one of my favourites. The hemline is just so unique and interesting - I can see this being a gorgeous skirt for a night out, but it might be just a little bit too glam for day wear. 

So this is my round-up of my favourite dip-hem skirts - I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I make my mind up as to which one I'll actually purchase! Anyone want to vote for their fav and help me out?
