I like the first one

the second one seems to be slightly yellow and black

First one is good for work, second is a little bit mumsy, I reckon.

I quite like them both.  The second one might be a bit booby for the office.

Prefer the fit of dress 1. 

No 1 is just a nicer cut/ would be more flattering on everyone I think. Those tulip style "in" skirts o the second one aren't flattering even on the super stick thin IMO

Wot MM said. The cut is superior on the first,,. 

Although I don't dislike the pattern on the second. It might work better with a belt. 

Thanks folks.  Glad to know I'm not too far off being an absolute fashion trainwreck at work.

I bought both so will let you know how they go.

Yes, do. I think the first is very elegant. I love a 30s style skirt - so flattering. I've been wearing long pleated skirts that length all summer.

why not wear it with some white trainers.

I like them very much and agree that they'd both look good with white trainers
