Please help me find a simple, knee-length cord. skirt!

[conniez]

I've been wearing the same black skirt to church, and it would be really great if I could find a simple corduroy or wool knee-length skirt (to wear with knee-high boots). I'd like a bit of a looser, A-line fit as some of the skirts I've found were more pencil/body-hugging skirts). My other wool skirts are so long that they drag on the floor (I'm only 5'). Please help!

Sorry I can't give you a specific rec (I haven't shopped for myself in ages)but have you checked Boden? Lands End and LL Bean also might have something . . .

I like this stretch wool skirt from Nordstrom, but I'm worried you might get kind of swallowed up since you're 5'0!

This one might work better for you. It comes in petites.

it looks shorter than knee length in the picture, but the description says knee length.

Hope this helps!

I want this skirt from Athleta. It used to come in black but the other colors are nice too.

Eddie Bauer has one that sounds exactly like what you want. It's called the Corduroy Trouser Skirt.

Boden has a lot of pretty skirts, too. I like the Inverted Pleat and Swishy Skirts.

This skirt from Target comes in a few colors..

A-line skirts are harder to come by this season...it seems to be all about the pencil, but some pencil skirts are not as narrow as you might expect.

Is this long enough?

AT Loft is having F&F 30% off (code FRIENDS), here's a skirt that might fit the bill...

Thanks so much for the suggestions everyone! Sorry I didn't get a chance to look through them all as I've spent the whole day doing laundry & I'm about to head to church (in the same black skirt)! I really appreciate everyone's suggestions & will update if I decide on one! =)

I have to say, I've been lusting after this one from garnet hill in teal:

http://www.garnethill.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&itemID=13965&fromNewSearch=true&mercadoResultId=0

But it might be a fuller skirt than you want, or shorter (though there is the option of getting a non-petite one to be longer....).
