Hmm some of the petite size stores have become more dowdy in their styles.

Honest, I have to wait until I get back to VAncovuer to hunt around. Problem whenever I go back, there's so many other things that are greater priority (which does include cycling to see great views that I miss. ).

This is the skirt length I like to wear/do wear:

The other pencil skirts on the same web page for skirts, are abit long, but can be altered. I would need higher dress shoes for a longer pencil skirt, to look elegant and "taller" to carry that overall look.
