has anyone seen a cordouroy skirt?
Permalink Closed

I'm trying to find a knee-length brown cordouroy skirt. I really want it for this Friday, but I know I'm cutting it close with Thanksgiving. I just need something to wear for occasions I'm uncertain of - something where I won't look totally out of place if everyone else is in jeans, but also something that won't look really sloppy if everyone else is dressed up. I figure I'll be wearing it with boots mostly.

Today I went to Dilard's, NY&C, and ATL. I looked at Kohls, Target, and Macys online. I can't find anything that isn't a mini!

Has anyone seen a knee-length cord skirt? I'd rather it not have a tulip shape - I saw one on the Macys site, I think, but I think cords just look weird in a tulip shape.
Or any other suggestions for something that fits the not-dressy-but-not-casual bill?

I'm hoping for under $50, and extra extra points if it's a B&M store so maybe I can brave the crowds early Friday morning and have it in time to go visit my BF's family.

TIA!

I looked at all the stores in my favorites that have B&Ms and I couldn't find anything! 


I'd try somewhere like Nordstrom Rack or a nice thrift store - somewhere where you'd have access to a large selection of styles and brands all at once ... ?


If you have cute bermudas or capris in some kind of twill/tweed/wool fabric, I think those would look cute with boots and would also be appropriate regardless of how dressed up your crowd is.

You mentioned that you had already looked at Macy's online, but did you see these? Are they tulip shaped? I'm not sure so I thought I would post!

I could have sworn J.Crew had one earlier this year, but I can't find it online anymore. I think it was called the "boot skirt."

 Can you take a road trip to Columbus?  I just bought exactly what you are looking for at H&M at Tuttle Crossing Mall in Columbus and it was only 15 bucks!   I also found one at the Gap Clearance Center (the one by the airport in Northern Kentucky) for really cheap too.

I always forget the Gap clearance center! I don't know why...It's so close to me!

I bought one exactly as you described at Old Navy about a year or two--don't know if you have time for ebay but there might be one on there.
