I know there are a lot of ATL fans here, so I thought I would report back on this cute seeming skirt.

It retails for $59.99 which for me is a bit pricey but I always look anyway because there's bound to be a loft sale within a week or so. The material is cotton/silk, but it actually feels like a light polyester blend. The waistband is a thick strip of bare elastic, like the top of men's Fruit of the Loom underwear. To say it looks cheap up close is a major understatement. I could see this getting scrunched up in my belly fat when I sit down.

At 17", it is super short. I am 5' tall and I felt like it was barely mid-thigh. This is the regular length, it doesn't even come in Petite. Maybe that would work for some people, but it just doesn't fit my lifestyle. The real deal breaker for me is that the fabric is white and completely, utterly see through. Even if the style of this skirt is up your alley, I would look for something that is fully lined.

On the plus side, I did notice that the flares Angie recently recommended (http://youlookfab.com/2011/02/.....ser-jeans/) are $44.95+40% off in the store.
