I have always had the hardest time finding a denim skirt I love. But that bottom left one? That might do the trick!

I wonder where I could find that…

Ok, you have inspired me to look for one myself. I like the look of the middle one in the bottom row. I too have found the zippers to become poufy! Makes you want to leave it in the closet. I also have the FBS-flat butt syndrome. Waaaa! Skirts and pants need to be taken in as they do not fit properly. I will have to get out there and look for a denim skirt. Thanks!

Carolyn-go for it, it will work for you! Don’t let that age number limit you.

They do look nice. I think I’ll have to get one.

A dark denim knee length pencil skirt is at the top of my fall shopping list. I just can’t seem to find one in any stores. They are all minis in my size, and I don’t want to show off that much of my legs! Almost nothing I try on fits me, so I refuse to buy clothes online. If I try on 20 skirts and one might fit. Not so good when you pay shipping for them all. I do love that one from Armani Exchange though. Too band it probably won’t still be there on sale in October when I can afford to go shopping again. I’m not even familiar with this brand. Do they have a store? Oh, and I’ve had the same problem as Shiny and Niecey, not only with denim skirts, but also with any skirt that has a front zipper. The denim ones are worse about keeping the bump when standing though.

Uh oh. Thanks for the explanation, Niecey. I would not be sporting a skirt like that either!

But give the denim skirt another go. Perhaps denim skirts aren’t as beastly as they use to be.

Well Angie, since we are all girls here (I think). . .the best way I would describe the “poufy jean” thing is like this. . . . . It gave the appearance of having a “crotch” — lol!!!! After sitting at a desk all day, the front fly would not smooth out once you would stand up. . . . I was always trying to flatten down the zipper. I hope this explains it. . . . If anyone else has anything to add to my lovely description - jump right on it!!! Thanks for all the comments girls!!

This post could not have come at a better time, Angie — I just did a complete inventory of my closet, and at the top of my “wish list” is a slightly A-line, dark denim skirt. I hope I can find a good one for fall!

@Shiny and @Niecey: Search JCrew.com for “High-Waisted Denim Pencil Skirt.” It has a back zip and no pockets.
