Hi Pres,
I'm looking for a high waist denim pencil skirt. Nordstrom's has a new one by 7 For All Mankind, but it has a faded look to it. Is the continuing trend for a dark wash, or are you seeing lighter denim on the streets? Thanks, Vava
It's this one, right, Vava?
The light wash denim isn't as versatile, and it's harder (but not impossible) to work into an outfit. The light needs really pristine support pieces, or we'll slip into the ramshackle. Being even more casual than the dark wash, the light would work well for a family barbeque (especially if you are the hostess) but not for adding a light pink tweedy or linen jacket and wearing to lunch with the ladies. I don't like the light with the heels shown; I'd prefer a thong sandal and a fitted tee shirt to the ruffled blouse shown, too.
So, if you are looking for something to wear at the beach, and change out of for even a casual dinner, the light wash is OK. For something more versatile, from casual to almost dressy (with an edge) stick with the dark wash.

Light or Dark Wash?

Hi Pres,
yes, that is the skirt. I am glad I posted on this topic because I was thinking in my heart of hearts that a dark wash on denim would be better too. I'm looking for something to wear to work rather than to a backyard barbecue. ;-)
I'll keep looking!

The light wash skirt isn't appropriate for any work situation that comes to mind; just too casual. Some dark denim skirts, with good structure, and with the perfect outfit for support, would work in casual work environments. Good Luck!
I'm having trouble finding a dark wash denim pencil that hits at the waist - looks like I am going to have to make one!
