As a not frum.. I do wear jeans, especially in the colder weather. Not a big fan of being cold. However, Friday and Saturday I wear skirts now. :) But I want to know where to go, to get one that is long, but not frumpy. I have 2 denim skirts that are just blah, but are easy to wear bc I can wear warm leggings under. But I want pretty! |

I think good skirts that will hold up are: eddie bauer, ll bean, lands end. I find that eddie bauer has 'outlets' both as stores and through their website where you can get good stuff. |

um.. I might. We just got new outlets by me.. a whole new Tanger. I think the old one (further away) has it. Do they have good stuff? I saw a skirt I really liked at Kasper Outlet, but I didn't buy it.. no reason.. just thought I could find one I liked better, but didn't. We also have a Talbots outlet nearby and I got a black skirt for $9.99 from $109! But I haven't been that lucky there since. |

You can find cute skirts at almost any store. You just need to look for them :) . |

In terms of Jones New York you will pay better prices in Macy's on a sale, than you will in the outlet. |

I do look in every store for cute skirts. It's been my mission for a few years now. I tend to like denim (but not frumpy... I have 2 of those) and I adore winter weight tweedish looking skirts with some texture. Can never have enough sophisticated skirts. I just haven't found stuff that really catches my eye... and in my price range. I was just informed that the Talbots Outlet my me has sale going on today. (extra 30-60% off) so I may swing by there and check out the skirt I found last week and see if it has been reduced any more. |

I was also going to mention Talbots. And if you have one in your area - my FAVE - Coldwater Creek. They're not cheap, but their outlet stores and online outlet have some really good deals. |

I got a lovely skirt. The one I wanted was only in size 16... so no luck there. I got a nice winter weight one that needs to be taken in a tiny bit, and taken up a bit. It sits in a weird spot, about 3 inches below the knee, so I'd like it taken to knee length. I tried on a bunch, all at an additional 30% off, but I didn't love anything else. I paid $35 for it, but it was originally $150. I won't take the tags off until my seamstress reviews it at my next appointment, just in case she doesn't feel it will look good once altered. |
