They fit great, only that they're not dark denim. That's okay by me, as they'll only be for casual wear.</p> <p>I also just ordered the NYDJ "Ellen" long denim skirt in size 6P. It was a splurge (not on sale), but I really want a dark denim long skirt, and I like the look of this one. I'm hoping it will fit as nicely as the NYDJ jeans I recently ordered. For anyone who's interested, the regular size of this same skirt is on sale at both Zappos and 6PM.com. I just didn't want to go through the hassle and expense of having the regular size hemmed, and I knew it would have to be shortened considerably. I opted to order from Zappos for easy return, in case I need a different size.</p> <p>I'd just like to wear more skirts and less pants, particularly in summer. Also, I thought about the next time my DH and I go to Nicaragua. It's so hot down there, yet the women do not wear pants unless they're long (not even capris). I figure the denim skirts will serve 3 purposes: (1) I won't be wearing pants, (2) the denim is not going to fly up when the wind blows, and (3) denim is easy care and goes with anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beyond-the-halogen-pencil-skirt---what-to-try-next#post-552568 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:13:13 +0000 Jjsloane 552568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel so guilty for twisting your arm on the gray one. It's on my outfit lineup for tomorrow. I'd also like to try some non knit ones. I might try J Crew because I have a double cloth skirt that I really like from them, it's not a pencil - more like a tulip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beyond-the-halogen-pencil-skirt---what-to-try-next#post-552560 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 13:53:45 +0000 Autumn 552560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The J. Crew number 2 pencil skirt in double serge wool is the most flattering pencil skirt I've ever seen. I like it better than the Halogen skirt. The fabric will be out of season soon, but I encourage you to try it anyway. There are limited sizes and colors remaining and unfortunately it's on final sale now:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_special_sizes/size16/skirts/PRDOVR~47314/47314.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_sp...../47314.jsp</a></p> <p>With the current promo, it's about the same price as the halogen skirt. Sizing is similarly large (i.e. I took the same size in this skirt as in the Halogen seamed skirt). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beyond-the-halogen-pencil-skirt---what-to-try-next#post-552430 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 06:21:02 +0000 rae 552430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm keeping my eyes on this thread! The Halogen skirts didn't work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beyond-the-halogen-pencil-skirt---what-to-try-next#post-552407 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 05:02:27 +0000 DonnaF 552407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are in the market for a dark denim pencil skirt, I just bought the NYDJ *Andy* skirt via Nordstrom online. The NYDJ *Emma* is more common, but I didn't get a good fit in the two sizes (but different colors) I tried. The Andy has a lot of stretch so it fits me perfectly and doesn't shift. The petite hits me where the Halogen hit me -- perfect length as far as I am concerned, plus it didn't make my thighs look bigger. I have been looking for a jeans skirt for years and had the mistaken belief that a cheap one would smack me and all would be perfect. I decided I didn't want to wait another decade so I decided to pay up for figure flattery even though it cost more than the lined Halogen skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beyond-the-halogen-pencil-skirt---what-to-try-next#post-552348 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 03:18:31 +0000 modgrl 552348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had great success with the Target pencil skirts. </p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=merona+doubleweave+skirt&#038;category=0%7CAll%7Cmatchallany%7Call+categories" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/s?search.....categories</a></p> <p>This is a nice dressy denim skirt too<br /> <a href="http://www.target.com/p/Merona-Womens-Refined-Denim-Skirt-Navy/-/A-13932496" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/Merona.....A-13932496</a></p> <p>There's also a coral color in the store that I don't see online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beyond-the-halogen-pencil-skirt---what-to-try-next#post-552343 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 03:12:15 +0000 Anonymous 552343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own skirts by Express ( real hit or miss), Limited and various Macy's brands, I think INC and Charter Club, also BR.<br /> I still think my halogen skirts are the best ones.

I did spy a very cute blue/white one at BR that I thought was very cute - fortunately they didn't have it in my size, so I wasn't tempted. And it doesn't seem to be online yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beyond-the-halogen-pencil-skirt---what-to-try-next#post-552305 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 02:32:17 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 552305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before I go and buy up every color of the seamed Halogen pencil skirt, can any of you lovely ladies recommend another pencil skirt to try? I have the gorgeous green I modeled in a WIW last week, and I *may* have bought the gray one (it was on a sale! Jjsloane made me!!!). </p> <p>I am all ears!</p> <p>(Love the fabrication of the Halogen skirts, but open to more suit-like fabrics, or even leather...) </p>
