Not sure if it will even fit me but couldn't resist red and turquoise...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise/page/2#post-413233 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 13:45:54 +0000 MsMary 413233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EVERY WAY!! :)</p> <p>I'm thinking I'm gonna start with my navy polka dot top that goes with everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise/page/2#post-413232 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 13:44:59 +0000 modgrl 413232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY MaryK!! We are magenta skirt twins! How are we going to wear it!?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise/page/2#post-413230 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 13:41:21 +0000 MsMary 413230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, they don't have the new colors in petite yet, but I was able to snag the purple magenta in petite this morning! Yay! And double yay for free shipping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-413142 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 05:23:27 +0000 catgirl 413142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kari! You look so incredible in these skirts that I'm thinking they are just not meant for my body type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-413138 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 05:18:47 +0000 Kari 413138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I'd ask the alterations department at Nordstrom to see if this is doable. I've heard of the hip area being taken in on pencil skirts but unfortunately, as I've got the opposite problem with my abundance of hip, I can't share from my direct experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-413137 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 05:17:24 +0000 yellowgirl 413137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I have the same issue. I own this skirt in two colors, but haven't worn it yet (too hot). I'm planning to take it to a tailor to see if it can be easily taken in around the hip area. If it's super expensive to do so, I'll probably return it and keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-413134 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 05:10:36 +0000 catgirl 413134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I am not a size smaller in these skirts! On me, if it fits in the waist, the hips are way too big, and if the hips fit, I can't zip it. I guess that's the fate of the booty-less and waist-free. I would so love to have another one of these. Can the hip area be taken in easily? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-413013 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 02:22:24 +0000 Anonymous 413013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want both the red and the turquoise and don't need either one. What to do... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-412998 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 01:59:19 +0000 Elly 412998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm . . . now I have to decide. Red, orange, turquoise, and black are my favorite colors on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-412996 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 01:57:05 +0000 Sveta 412996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, I just took my yellow skirt to alter - it was sitting too low on my hips (darn that hip - waist ratio!) and apparently it is very easy to alter in the seams. It should not be a big deal for a good seamstress and should not be too expensive either.<br /> I covet both magenta and turquoise but I have to keep my wardrobe minimum and leave some room for next year NAS!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-412988 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 01:39:23 +0000 Kari 412988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And in red and orange now, too! <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt/3093787?origin=shoppingbag" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....hoppingbag</a></p> <p>I think those colors are new as of today, so perhaps they'll soon appear in petites, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411899 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 17:24:03 +0000 Patty 411899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirts for interviews!<br /> That turqu is beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411889 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 16:44:08 +0000 Elly 411889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww---thanks Lynn! I might order it in both. I was shocked how big this skirt ran--- according to the size chart I am a 10-- I ordered and 8 and a 6, turns out a 4 would be much better! I haven't owned a size 4 size if was 15 (before I got hips). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411877 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 16:03:11 +0000 Lynne 411877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elly, I would wear this to an interview in a heartbeat. FWIW :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411701 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 05:49:49 +0000 Elly 411701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so I ordered this in black and have decided I need a smaller size. Would it be crazy to order it in turquoise? Probably since I want to wear it for job interviews. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411462 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 20:25:43 +0000 Makrame 411462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a nice color.</p> <p>I know this has been discussed before but I wasn't sure what the consensus was - does everyone dry-clean their Halogen skirts or can they be washed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411426 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 18:19:00 +0000 Suz 411426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO frustrating. MaryK, the sizing chart says that petite and regular are different. But I still thought it might be possible to make it work. It won't, however, if they don't have any small sizes, period! </p> <p>Well, it's all theoretical to me because I can't afford the duty/taxes to ship to Canada (especially if I don't know that it will fit) so I will have to live vicariously through you two lovely ladies. I just hope one or both of you is able to obtain the skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411420 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 18:10:59 +0000 modgrl 411420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smallest sizes are already gone as usual! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411419 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 18:06:46 +0000 MsMary 411419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need the 0P. Still stalking it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411416 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 18:00:27 +0000 modgrl 411416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, send it back to exchange for the petite one. They have them in stock now. I got the 2P at NAS. They will still exchange for size. </p> <p>I want the turquoise and lime green in Petite!! I love my loudest in the world fever pink skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411401 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:48:53 +0000 MsMary 411401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this skirt in purple magenta in the non-petite, and I'm really on the fence about keeping it. Can't tell if it's just the length, or if it's just bigger all over.</p> <p>I'll have to post a keep or return over the weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411365 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:53:44 +0000 rachylou 411365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this skirt. Excellent find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411364 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:48:51 +0000 modgrl 411364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not a straight skirt, it is fitted around the waist and hips. I wonder if it is just longer or if the hips sit lower? I'm sure my dry cleaner's would find a way to ruin even a straight hem... they've done some really mediocre alterations for me recently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411352 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:18:43 +0000 Suz 411352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Listen, ladies. Can it be hemmed? Or is the fit extremely different in all ways? I want to believe there is hope for us yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411326 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 15:46:50 +0000 MsMary 411326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK is over in the corner, weeping because they don't have the turquoise in petite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411256 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 14:00:24 +0000 Diana 411256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh... really tempted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411224 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 13:32:46 +0000 DressLover 411224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where is MaryK?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alert-halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-in-turquoise#post-411220 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 13:29:13 +0000 modgrl 411220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute!

I am all over this:). You know, when NAS pics first appeared online, that skirt was shown in turquoise. Then when the sale started, it was nowhere to be found. I thought I was losing my mind! </p>
