The
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale preview mini-mag hit my mailbox the other day.
On page 11 was this.

Trina Turk skirt $129
a-line skirt
IN THE NEWEST
SHAPE AND
LENGTH, IT'S
THE SKIRT THAT
REALLY WORKS
I always love seeing things that modest dressers have always worn suddenly hailed as the "Newest Shape!" "Newest length!" Yep, it's a knee-length skirt. How refreshingly novel!
As I admonished you in this post about midi skirts, get 'em while the gettin's good!
It's much easier to shop for items when they're a hot ticket in style "trends." When the rest of the fashion world is going gaga over mini skirts, knee length won't be as prevalent in the stores. I may get this skirt. I really like the
slightly a-line shape and the
slightly 60's mod styling. In a sturdy stretch ponte knit it'll last for-absolutely-ever.
Remember, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is NEW fall season items at sweet sale prices. Here are a few other things I'm digging from the preview. 
McGinn boucle' jacket $229
Fantastic blazer. And I swoon for anything that smacks of Chanel (at a price I can afford.)

Vince Camuto boot $159
Gorgeous brown tall boots. Because as I mentioned last year...
the boots zip!! 
Mackage wool coat $389
Because I shrunk out of all my coats last year and I love the asymmetrical closure and cool leather and knit sleeve details.
But I want it in black.
