I thought that too. As far as I am concerned a skater skirt is this:
Dorothy Perkins seems to have nice stuff; it's a pity they don't operate in Australia. I liked everything that Papersatan linked (especially that first dress), though that is probably just a reflection of her good taste. The dark red dress Nekowafer linked is gorgeous!.
Edit: Somehow I messed up the image link before.

I'm really hoping that most if not all of those things are a) in stock and b) fit me, because I want them all! I didn't go to DP today, but I'm planning on going there first tomorrow.

The only place I've seen the term skater skirt, before recently, was a knitting pattern meant to recreate a skirt from 40s photos: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATTskatingqueen.html

I just thought it was because they looked like vintage ice skating skirts - short circle skirts that had a nice twirly effect when spinning in skates. Like this:

Style advisory panel, my mum and I went shopping today!
When I say shopping, I mean "trying things on and letting the possibility of purchasing them percolate until at least Monday". We didn't make it to M&S or Dorothy Perkins, because we couldn't find them until 5.30 at which point we urgently needed a sit down and a drink (handily, the M&S cafe has soya milk! So I had a delicious caramel latte).
Here are the things I am considering.
Black and white heart print dress. I would have preferred this in blue or possibly dark red but only black exists.
Floral dress. I'd wear it with a cardigan because it (and the black heart dress) has the classic "look at the side of my bra" problem under the arms.
Denim dress. I'm dithering over this, because it's cute but not quite smart enough to wear on placement, I don't think. (I still don't know whether I would wear uniform or civvies on community placements anyway so this might not matter.)
Denim skirt. This is much longer on me than on the model!
Kitty cat jumper! I'd need to wear something under it to smooth out the lines but it's nice.
I did buy this navy cardigan with cute pockets. It's smart enough for work but not just a boring blue, I like it :)
