I hope it works out for you.  I had one like this in the 90s made from a lovely wool suiting material. Somehow it got a little hole in it; I took it to a seamstress for repair and she LOST it!!!  I still mourn the loss of that skirt....

We are likely to be snowed in/UPS'd out in the beginning of the week I am afraid.  Once you've clicked "purchase," with online buys, it is really difficult facing the wait!  But I'm planning on doing some sledding on our hill, so that should keep my mind off the wait lol!

I have the same feeling about the length - it might be a bit long and need hemming -- but otherwise, it looks like it could be a fantastic piece and very on-trend for CWC. Will love to see pics of this on you when it arrives. Great find!!! Linda on "My HEWI found at CWC" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hewi-found-at-cwc#post-1181709 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 17:27:31 +0000 Linda 1181709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was mostly looking for some new belts.  I own very few belts, and the semi-tuck won't work without a belt.  I did find a few that I think will do nicely.  One thing I notice is that the more fashion-forward items at Coldwater Creek are nearly ALL in Outlet.  I guess CWC's core shoppers don't like to be trendy?  The "new" items at regular price generally bore me to tears!  And the prices don't seem reasonable. But I somehow spotted an item I've been trolling for for probably years.  <a href="http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/66150/73061/ponte-perfect-boot-skirt.aspx?colorid=030&refLink=search.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.coldwatercreek.com/.....030&r</a> is a midi-length skirt that is not a pencil skirt.  The reviews all sound reasonable.  I'm a little daunted that it is described in the text as "ankle length," but I can hem it if necessary. I had two skirts similar to this that I wore and wore for a long time, but unfortunately my evolution into a rectangle body type with age, means I had to purge those skirts.  Ever since, I have picked carefully through B&M racks, and I think I once even tried some targetted Googling to try and find this item.  Never succeeded, but I just clicked on "purchase" and (although this will see more wear now NEXT year) I am eagerly awaiting it.  The CWC site reported this was not available at any store within 150 miles.  Sigh.  It really is true, stores don't carry what I want to wear nowadays!
