WIW: Full Skirt & Docs - YouLookFab Forum

It's funny how I struggled with styling this full green midi skirt but now that I've figured out that I need the top half of me to have structure, I'm loving it!

So I started out today with this twirly green midi (which is beautiful in motion) and paired it with a black tank. On top of that I added my black ruched sleeve blazer. I know not everyone cares for pre-ruched sleeves but I quite like it on this blazer. For footwear I decided to go with my Doc Marcie mid calf boots - love the juxtaposition of a more rugged boot with a girly skirt. I chose my over sized snakeskin print clutch for my handbag and jewelry is my gold wedding band and rose gold/black oversized watch.

Happiness factor? Off the charts. I always feel so like ME when I put on these Docs. Anyway, over to you...do you think it all works together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

BTW Gain thinks a morning treat is in order while Dusty Bottom is more refined in his "begging".

Blazer: RW & Co (thrifted)
Tank & skirt: Cleo Petite
Boots: Doc Martens
Watch: Fossil
Clutch: XOXO (thrifted)

You figured it out, for sure! The proportions look perfect to me. I can't tell you how much I love this skirt on you, and the boots are wonderful with it. I can see why your happiness factor is so high, you look stunning!

I love love this outfit! The colour of that skirt is so unique, really makes the outfit pop! Also, as Mona pointed out, that combo of structure and unstructured really works well.

LOVE this outfit on you...v cool and I love how you describe it makes you "happy"...so important !!

I kinda like the punk vibe too! That skirt is lovely. A sheer barely black tight would look great for chillier days too.
Gains and DB are adorable!

Wow, unexpectedly fab! Kitties, too:-)
(is the skirt really green? I see mustard yellow:-))

What a fabulous outfit, Shannon! Off the charts fun.

Your cats are adorable, your Docs are awesome, and you look great in that bright skirt!

Oh thank you so much ladies - I feel twirly and stompy all rolled into one

lyn67 - the skirt is an odd shade of green - sort of a mix of olive, citron and lime. I think my wall color behind me is making it look a bit more yellow than it is.

Diane - do you think that my black micro fishnets could work too?

I have a black and white knit sweater with gold shoulder zippers (white front, black sleeves and back) that I might try with this skirt too for the cooler weather.

Love seeing kitties with so much personality. You look ready for the runway. I love how you have restyled the skirt to make it your own wonderful look. It works!

Don't you just love how having so many shoes keeps them all looking fresh?! These fab boots will last forever.

You look great! I love the booties with the ladylike skirt. And your cats are so cute!

donnat

Totally awsome....love the punk vibe,

Von

I love this combination, I like how you paired the sensible jacket with the bright skirt and funky shoes. I definitely think this outfit would go with micro fishnets.

Would this fab combo work if the skirt was switched out for beautiful blue one you had custom made from thrifted fabric?

LUV that green skirt!!

AviaMariah

Brilliant combo of girlie and tough!

Beth Ann

Twirly and Stompy: My favorite combination! I've always loved this skirt on you, so I'm glad you've come to love it, too. Love the wedge heel on the Docs.

rute

Love!

rae

Love! A little bit grunge, even. So glad you were able to make the skirt work for you!

I'm pretty sure the black fishnets would work Shannon, as long as there was enough skintone in the mix if you get my meaning. I don't see a dense black working but I thought a more see-through tight may work. Only one way to find out ...
