I love the length of the skirt on Mary K - it's perfect! </p> <p>I have a hard time finding skirts at the right length due to my height. I would love to find a great black pencil skirt, but my legs are not my best feature (even though they are long). I prefer to show off my upper body and keep my skirts to knee length or a bit above or below. I am embracing the currently popular midi length as well. After that length goes out of vogue, I plan to shorten my midi skirts to the knee length that I most prefer. </p> <p>If anyone has any suggestions on where to find good skirts for taller women, I would love to get them! </p> <p>Mary K - you look amazing in your lovely blue skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-404155 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 01:19:55 +0000 Suz 404155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me, too! And try to figure out how I can get down to the US for a little shopping spree.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-404128 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 23:57:48 +0000 modgrl 404128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, that skirt is the perfect length on you. I think it would work for me too. I'm going to keep an eye on it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-404064 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 19:56:38 +0000 MsMary 404064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks, Kari!</p> <p>And after seeing Allie's look, I'm definitely going to have to pair that skirt with my new purple magenta cardi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-404031 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 18:05:54 +0000 Kari 404031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stayed away due to the length &amp; lack of lining, but Allie from Wardrobe Oxygen has it in the same color that MaryK is sporting, and looks stunning:<br /> <a href="http://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/2011/07/my-wardrobe-today-thursday_28.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/.....ay_28.html</a></p> <p>And MaryK - WOW! How had I missed that outfit before? I'm drooling over the colors in the blouse, handbag, and skirt together. I still want to steal that kelly green bag from you, so watch your back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-404030 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 18:03:22 +0000 MsMary 404030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I have this one in cobalt from last year! I wear it all the time and just love it. Mine is regular size, not petite, and the length is just right for me even though I'm normally a petite. (By way of comparison, I just got the seamed skirt in a non-petite and it comes to just below my knees.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-403975 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 15:03:04 +0000 SW Ann 403975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is weird--I was just looking at this skirt last night online, and wondering about the length, as well as if the "red" was actually red. It looks more russet or orange-y in the photos.... I think It's took sort for me. For some reason, I just feel "too floozy" if my pencil skirt is too short! At 5'6", I think this one is close, but not quite right. However, if anyone knows what this red looks like IRL, I'd be interested (looking for a bright, clear, true red pencil...have been for years!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-403926 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 14:26:05 +0000 Suz 403926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>modgrl, too funny...I was looking at that skirt online last night, too, and wondering the same thing! I think it was Sveta's WIW that got me going. And MaryK's post, too. I love that it comes in so many colours, and it might work for us because we are shorter? Also, for me, a knit fabric (if decent) can be a better bet in a pencil skirt because it works a bit better for my non-office, more MOTG lifestyle. Too bad I can't really order from Nordstrom without incurring duty and taxes. Sigh... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-403904 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 14:10:02 +0000 modgrl 403904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! I have a great black AT ponte skirt that isn't lined and it is fine. I'll have to see how I do with pencil skirts this fall. I might just have to order one of these when SYC is up! I think if I order the regular length it will be fine for me at 21". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-403866 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 12:30:21 +0000 marianna 403866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a shorter, un-lined version of the seamed skirt. The fabric is a bit thinner too. Available in lots of nice colors. I also found the length too short but it could be just right for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-403864 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 12:27:19 +0000 Heather 403864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, for some reason I think that Beth tried this particular one, too? Perhaps she will chime in (if indeed she did give it a spin). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-403863 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 12:25:24 +0000 yellowgirl 403863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, too! Is it lined? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-403820 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 07:15:50 +0000 Deborah 403820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks lovely modgrl and I love wearing a ponti fabric, its always so comfortable and sits well. Not familiar with the skirt but could be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-403784 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 04:14:41 +0000 Debora 403784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered it last spring but ended up returning it. Joy is right, it is shorter but you are petite so it may work for you. I can't be sure, but I think that it might not be lined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-403781 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 04:10:51 +0000 Anonymous 403781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That one comes in some great colors, but is shorter...too short for me. The fabric is different. I saw some at the store but didn't try them because of the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-this-skirt#post-403779 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 04:05:50 +0000 modgrl 403779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is the Halogen Ponte Knit Pencil Skirt. I love the colors! It looks just like the seamed skirt. Anyone try it yet? </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/halogen-ponte-knit-pencil-skirt/3110684?origin=category&#038;resultback=864" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ha.....ltback=864</a> </p>
