OK.....here is the black Lena skirt in Large. -Please ignore my hip lumps and my gut!
It has a very wide elastic band waist that you can actually fold down if you want the waist lower or the skirt higher. Little zipper pocket on right hip. Diagonal seams.
The waist could be a bit snugger on me, but I have very wide hips and narrow waist so I'm used to such issues. I might fold the waist down on myself as I like low waisted things. I am wearing the skirt a bit lower on my hips because otherwise the waist would be looser. I'm wearing a cropped short shirt to show the waistband for the photo.
I'm planning to wear this thin merino wool skirt during cool weather, over my long Ibex wool leggings and with smartwool longsleeve pullovers or sweaters on top. Just enough of a coverup over leggings.
My hips= 42" Waist=32". Height 5'5", weight 145.

Well I already do look like an R. Crumb woman. And that's just fine with me.

20-year-old Cortina wool jersey came out of the closet this morning.

Also the 20-year-old Pearl Izumi wool tights, minus the natural leather chamois they came with.

SmartWool socks are new(ish), anyway

45 degrees when we started out.

Knotted, what size/color were you interested in for the Long Trail sweater? I got a Black/Tea in M about a week and a half ago on SAC (M runs generous) and the black is actually very a warm dark chocolate color. I like my blacks to be very dark cold black, not warm/brownish. Interested?

ETA: I've knew I should've just stuck with my tried and true blue colors, but I as trying to branch out. What was I thinking?

[KnottedYet]

Hmmmm... I was thinking of the Black or the Plum. An espresso-ish brown might be just peachy.

In every top I've gotten from Ibex, I am a Large. (size 12 or 14 or so, with very long arms)

How much too big is that Medium?

The Medium fits me well enough. I find that I prefer a closer fitting M for the big chunky sweaters, but L for the base layers and thinner stuff (otherwise it's just way too sausage-y highlighting every lumpy brastrap/back boob detail). I do have the Ibex Ultimate Guide sweater in L and it is a little roomy on me, which is nice and cuddly to wear on it's own but annoyingly bulky to layer under a jacket.

It's the color that I'm just less than thrilled with. I like winter/jewel tones, and it's very warm/autumn for my preferences. I paid $76 for it (incl. shipping) and would be happy to pass it on to someone else for that price. Put it this way - it's as much hassle for me to return it to SAC as it is to just ship it to someone else.

ETA: I've decided to return it. The sale price that KnottedYet posted is cheaper than what I paid for it at SAC. So I'm going to return this black one and go get the BLUE one that I wanted all along!

I for one am not a weenie, I am a person of amazing fortitude for even going outside when the temperature is four-fifths of the way to frostbite (which I have had more than once, and it is seriously no fun). I suspect the same is true of YOU all, too.
