K/r BR wrap skirt and styling questions

viva

Veteran

I am heading back to my alma mater for a college reunion weekend and filled with lots of dread around it. But, to stay on topic, I am trying to assemble a few alternatives to shorts for walking around campus and hanging out during the day. I'm leaving tomorrow so I don't have time to shop anymore - it's work-with-what-you've-got-time. This skirt just arrived.
Is it right, in any styling?
Does it fit well?
Do you like it?
Is there another, better way to style it?
I definitely want to be true to my style and not try to be something I am not.
I won't be sad if you all hate it and it has to go back. I am prepared to live in white jeans/leggings and tunics. And I've already lost enough sleep over this event! Just give it to me straight.

I love it! 4 is my least favorite, I think that top overwhelms and disguises some of the coolness of the skirt's design. Otherwise, I think you have a winner! YLF! Enjoy your trip.

I love this skirt on you! The cut and length are fantastic. I just went to my college reunion weekend this spring. It was a combination of walking all day, sporting events and then fancier evening events that made dressing a pain. This skirt seems like you could dress it up or down for different events pretty well.

My favorite styles are the pink tee and the grey tee, and those cage sandals are fab (but maybe not the best for walking all day?). I'd love to see a top with an asymmetric hem if you have one.

The skirt is great! (And your legs look fabulous in it!) I like all the top variations except for photo #4 - seems a little too long for the skirt.

I assume you have checked how the skirt does when you walk around? (does it ride up when you walk? Sometimes this type of skirt can do that.)

I love it too. I like 5, I like the mix of feminine skirt and rate tee.

FAB skirt. Looks killer in #5. That's the outfit you should wear.

Don't worry, Viv. You will impress the pants - or skirts - off everyone. Be your wonderful and gorgeous self and get ready to hear LOTS of compliments. Much love to you, and enjoy.

I love the skirt, esp. With the grey graphic tee. The wrap hemline looks great on you! Enjoy your reunion!

OMG, I LOVE #5!!

Love it! Especially #5. Fantastic styling. Don't stress the reunion -- have a blast!

O yay, I like 3 and 5--if you need a flats version.
I think you are on the right track, using it like shorts, like a sport skirt but with more style. How is the sit test for the front, though?

Definitely take the skirt. Wear #5. Sleep soundly knowing you'll look fabulous. Enjoy the weekend.

I love that skirt on you! I would suggest doing the sitting test to be sure it does not ride up too much.
Have fun at the reunion.

To answer your questions:. It looks like it fits well. I like it. I like how you've styled it in all the pics with the different shoes and tops.

Keep it and wear it ! #5 ftw! (did you throw your phone at the mirror in frustration or something ? )

Thanks everyone! Definitely have to do a walking test (thanks, Diana) and a sit test. But I'm glad it passes the YLF test and that you like version 5, which was my favorite. I was worried it might be too much or something, but it felt the best. I don't know why this kind of thing is so unsettling, especially since I am sure I will not know or recognize anyone.

Lisa: I don't know how that mirror cracked. Trying not to think about the seven years of bad luck I must be in the midst of.

#5 looks great - and it seems the most "you" to me at least.

Definitely the #5 outfit. Hope the weather will be pleasant!

Great skirt. I agree with Angie. I'm just impressed you are going to a reunion. I totally do not do reunions. We all have issues, right?

I like 4 and 5/6, yes keep the skirt. You are going to look better than 99% of the rest. I like 1/2 if you had something layered underneath, it is quite a sheer top.

Great skirt on you!
I agree with Angie that my favorite is #5.

Olivegreen

And a vote for the pink top, yes, casual and colour.
The skirt looks like a keeper.

Agree that it looks fantastic and #5 is the winner. I seriously can't imagine going to a reunion. I would definitely drink too much. Have fun!

Wonderful. Please report back on the sit test results.

Gorgeous! YLF. #5 is my pick as well.

This looks very much like my ruched skirt from Athleta and I don't see how you can go wrong. You look fantabulous!

I really like it, it looks fantastic on you. The rouching on the side and the upside down V in front take it to the next level. Wear it the way you've styled it in #3 or #5, and you will be the hit of the event! Enjoy your reunion - you'll be the most stylish woman there.

Looks great, particularly with the graphic tee. You'll be the coolest of the cool girls, even if you weren't at the time.

I actually quite like school reunions. The trick is to approach them with a sense of humour and leave the adolescent baggage at the door. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.
