I am thinking they may be just the ticket, since it sounds like your office is more casual. Also because they&nbsp;very comfortable, machine washable, and&nbsp;<b><i>easy </i></b>for a busy lifestyle like yours.&nbsp;</p> <p>With a nine month old, your body is still very much changing, so the VC tube skirts are also ideal in that they easily conform to your shape as it fluctuates, which pants -- with all their fit points---&nbsp;just&nbsp;do not do so easily.&nbsp;</p> <p>Torrid is another place to check out. In fact, my DD just got this skirt --&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.torrid.com/torrid/Bottoms/Skirts/Kiss+Print+Fold+Over+Skirt-10072701.jsp">http://www.torrid.com/torrid/B.....072701.jsp</a>... though that particular one is&nbsp;not necessarily office attire. ;-)&nbsp;&nbsp;but check out the others here --&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.torrid.com/torrid/Bottoms/Skirts.jsp">http://www.torrid.com/torrid/Bottoms/Skirts.jsp</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>At your height you may also want to try out "Tall" shops and stores offering&nbsp;"Long"&nbsp;options.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-work-skirt-thoughts#post-1310384 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 23:57:02 +0000 Kristin L 1310384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks a bit short as well.&nbsp;Like Beth Ann said, tell us a little more about what you're looking for. Maybe another fabber will know where you can find it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-work-skirt-thoughts#post-1310375 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 23:49:27 +0000 Tanya 1310375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right now I need dress pants, skirts, maybe a dress, and some short-sleeved or 3/4 length sleeve sweaters (lightweight; I'm always too hot).<br />I am trying to be ok with buying what size I am now (16/18)&nbsp;as opposed to dwelling in the pre-baby years (size 12). &nbsp;After a chat on here a couple of months ago, I went through all of my skinny clothes and gave them away. &nbsp;It felt AWESOME. &nbsp;<br />So now I'm rebuilding. &nbsp;The only pants and shorts and skirts I have that fit are pregnancy clothes. &nbsp;Nigel's 9 months old now; time to get a move on the weight loss. &nbsp;I'm very tired though, as I'm working FT and taking a course and he still wakes up 2-4 times a night to eat. &nbsp;Exhausted.<br />Anyway, my mind is not in the best place. &nbsp;Looking at photos of myself makes me want to vom.<br />So yes, any input and suggestions are very helpful. &nbsp; I'm 5 foot 9 1/2. &nbsp; Long arms and legs, carry my weight in the middle. &nbsp;<br />:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-work-skirt-thoughts#post-1310350 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 23:33:19 +0000 Beth Ann 1310350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried to hear Angie in my head saying, "next!'&nbsp; Fits are all over the place and, even when we're happy with our bodies, they are always changing.</p> <p>Tell us more of what you're looking for.&nbsp; Perhaps the group can help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-work-skirt-thoughts#post-1310327 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 23:15:51 +0000 Tanya 1310327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I didn't take it. &nbsp;Gut feeling agreed with what you guys are all saying.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-work-skirt-thoughts#post-1310276 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 21:57:42 +0000 lyn* 1310276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length needs to be longer in this situation because the fabrication is casual. If the fabric was more "business like" then you could get away with the shorter length.</p> <p>I hope that makes sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-work-skirt-thoughts#post-1310275 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 21:56:11 +0000 Anonymous 1310275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a knee length denim skirt that I really love from Ann Taylor, but it's old. I think the extra length is elongating in a flattering way and I agree longer would be more practical for work, especially when you sit down.&nbsp;</p> <p>This skirt would be fine for a cute casual look with flat sandals though. Skirts are hard to fit in general I find;&nbsp;don't despair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-work-skirt-thoughts#post-1310271 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 21:52:18 +0000 Zibbets 1310271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks short to me too. Nordstrom has a couple of&nbsp;really cute&nbsp;Halogen denim pencil skirts on sale right now. It looked like it would be polished enough for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-work-skirt-thoughts#post-1310123 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 18:34:32 +0000 MsMary 1310123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks petty short for work to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-work-skirt-thoughts#post-1310114 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 18:25:20 +0000 Tanya 1310114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thick dark denim. So hard to find anything that fits me right now... hate... </p>
