I am trying to mix things up by wearing more skirts and dresses. I am
not comfortable in skirts/dresses that don't cover my knees, however. And I feel like I look frumpy in some longer skirts.

Two NAS skirts I'd really like to know more about, if anyone has seen them or tried them:

Vince Chiffon Pleated Midi Skirt - not sure if this one would be worth the money or not, but I could see getting a lot of wear out of it if it works on me. As a pear, I generally wear a 14 in pencil skirts and a 12/L in other skirts, so I am not sure if the 12 would be big enough. I also worry about figure flattery - sometimes long skirts work well on me and sometimes they make me look really wide.

Halogen Ruffle Hem Knit Skirt (non-pencil version) - I'd especially like to know what the fabric is like on this one.

Both skirts are out in my size, but am hoping for restocks Friday.
