Alas, at least on the website, the smallest size is already gone. (I seem to remember a lot of angst over this skirt from last year as well -- people pre-ordering and not getting, etc., because they sold out so quickly.)</p> <p>So I'm doing my part to lower the YLF average for number of Halogen Seamed Pencil Skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384735 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 04:44:08 +0000 Reneeb 384735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the chalet green, fever pink, light grey and the purple magenta on the way. I am thinking of getting the black one to replace my old black pencil skirt and maybe the slate. I love the fit and they are so comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384722 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 04:17:25 +0000 MNsara 384722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Bronze Olive (actually one Reg and one Petite!), the cadet blue, the dark purple, and just came home with the light purple (today $17.00 at the Rack so I needed to get it and think about it). So that would bump it to 5. So I will NOT be buying any during NAS ;-)</p> <p>I love their fit, drape, and stretch. I love the variety of colors too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384718 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 04:13:09 +0000 Aziraphale 384718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shame I'm Canadian too, because I like those. Perfect pencil skirt in an array of colours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384695 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 03:45:52 +0000 Kari 384695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm up to 3, now! Gray, bronze olive, and mustard.</p> <p>If I hadn't already had two excellent black pencil skirts (one from ATL and a lace Classiques Entier skirt from the Nordstrom Rack) I probably would have got one in black as well, and wavered a bit about whether I should add rapsberry this year. Still am, a bit.</p> <p>I wear at least one of my skirts on a weekly basis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384627 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 02:25:48 +0000 Freckles 384627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ditto lyn*'s comment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384566 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 23:40:23 +0000 lyn* 384566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zero.

Can anyone who's preselected for this year run down the color options? I found the catalog page hard to decode. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384527 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 22:27:03 +0000 Aida 384527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zero, but I'm not a pencil skirt gal; I have one black pencil skirt, and the number of times I've worn it can be counted on half of one hand </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384466 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 20:52:18 +0000 MsMary 384466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have it in Chalet Green and Fever Pink, and just ordered it in Raisin and Slate. I totally want it in Purple Magenta, too, but they were out of stock when I called. Hopefully they will re-stock soon.</p> <p>Brenda, I do dry clean mine, but I'm gentle on my clothes so I can wear them multiple times between cleanings. I do take off my work clothes the very minute I get home from work (or usually before that, because I change into my gym clothes at the office)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384462 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 20:50:09 +0000 Debora 384462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did order the magenta one but I think I might be between sizes. I sized up and we'll see how it looks when it comes. I was very tempted by the yellow raisin one, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384458 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 20:42:03 +0000 Lena 384458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any yet, and I'm very open to trying something in a cool color this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384397 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 19:40:18 +0000 qfbrenda 384397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None. Don't those say they are supposed to be dry cleaned? That's what has chased me away from trying one. Do you all really dry clean them, or will they survive the gentle cycle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384396 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 19:39:56 +0000 amyreh 384396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried these on numerous times because they look so good on others, and they just look bulky on me for some reason! Love the colors though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384389 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 19:37:25 +0000 Jonesy 384389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any, though I do love pencil skirts! I will just have to admire them on all of you :). I will be watching with interest to see how all of you style the yellow one in the fall and winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384386 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 19:35:47 +0000 Anonymous 384386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 3 and would buy a tomato red if they bring one out. I've got the light grey (drift?), black, and this year's yellow raisen. I've worn the light grey the most but the yellow is new. I did go back and buy a sheer top and a cami to wear with the yellow one in hot weather. It's like this one only a pattern in cobalt and mustard on cream:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/eclair-patterned-chiffon-top/3196190?origin=category&#038;resultback=57" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ec.....ultback=57</a><br /> All three are size 2 regular. I've not seen any change in size but bought my first one after last year's NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384349 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 18:28:18 +0000 Jjsloane 384349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the black last year, but returned it when I found an almost identical one by Kenneth Cole for $25. I wore it a lot though so bought the Black Halogen this year (because my chances of finding that deal again when I really need it). Also ordered the Purple this year because it's fun to have a color. I think I'm done after that. I tried to get the royal blue one and lighter purple one this summer, but they didn't have the sizes I thought I needed although now I don't know because this years are definitely sized differently than last. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384346 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 18:14:47 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 384346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None - I tried one on in my size recently and it was too clingy in the thighs and too loose in the back waist. Too bad - I love the idea of a ponte pencil skirt. Maybe if I lose a bit more weight the next size down will work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384323 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 17:41:29 +0000 Erin 384323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Currently Zero but I am beginning to think that I need multiples. I love the mustard yellow colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384319 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 17:37:40 +0000 Beth 384319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, my sizes vary too. In my experience:</p> <p>Regular: Sizing was large and really long. The lengths went nearly over my knee. I bought a size 2 in these and had them hemmed.<br /> Petite: Sizing was just slightly large and the length hit just at the top of my kneecap. I bought these in a 4. No hemming needed.</p> <p>But it sounds like your skirts varied in size even between the same skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384307 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 17:02:08 +0000 Sarah 384307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Further question...for those of you who have multiples, are your sizes all the same?<br /> Nope! I have a 4 and a 6 and they fit the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/admit-it-how-many-halogen-seamed-skirts-do-you-own#post-384298 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 16:34:28 +0000 modgrl 384298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Must have the magenta!

I am thinking of ordering a purple magenta as well if it will be available tomorow...<br /> I may have stayed with one neutral one but with these colors - how can we resist!

I just bought another in black at my preselection appointment, and the fourth (in Yellow Raisin) is on its way to me as we speak.</p> <p>I'll argue that the black skirt is a replacement for my old black pencil skirt, and I might decide that I don't need both the Yellow Raisin *and* the olive, but as it stands, I'm at 4.</p> <p>I could have sworn that I saw it in turquoise (swoon) in the early pictures on Polyvore and would have snapped that up.</p> <p>How many do you have? </p>
