But anyways - those sandals are great, and I like the jeans too. The jeans look far better on you than they do in the model. &nbsp;Wear them another season, then you'll be ready for something else anyways at that point. Sorry if I'm just repeating what everyone else has said - but thanks for the opportunity to chime in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals/page/2#post-1464642 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 12:29:41 +0000 Karie 1464642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the denim skirt! It looks retro '70's to me and I love that. <br />The sandals with the wide ankle strap look super fab and I would wear them with everything. Wear those with a circle skirt and you've got a great retro 50's look.&nbsp;<br />My eye is adjusting to high rise jeans. The proportions look off on long legged but short waisted me, but I think the proportions look perfect on you. I'd keep those too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals/page/2#post-1464623 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 10:12:08 +0000 Ingunn 1464623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, I've been thinking the same about hemming the jeans. But how do I keep the original hemline if I do that? I like the slight distressing on it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals/page/2#post-1464588 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 05:43:25 +0000 Marley 1464588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The A-line denim button-front skirt is&nbsp;<i></i>very<i>&nbsp;</i><i>now</i> where I live! &nbsp;(a nod to the '70's trend, I'm sure.) &nbsp;I think the skirt looks great on you and I'd definitely keep. &nbsp;Also, love the jeans. &nbsp;The only thing I'd consider doing is hemming them rather than rolling them. &nbsp;To me, that gives them a much more sophisticated and sleek line - a good step-up from your distressed BF's. &nbsp;The sandals are a no-brainer! &nbsp;Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals/page/2#post-1464525 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 01:17:20 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1464525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the denim skirt on you and find it very on trend for spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals/page/2#post-1464410 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 18:09:13 +0000 Ingunn 1464410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the styling suggestions, ladies! When I get around to it, I'll definitely try with a more 70's styled sandals or boots, and a sweater. I don't think I own any 70ish blouses or shirts - yet! Or maybe - would leopard work?</p> <p>AJ, yes, the skirt is knee length, not midi. The store marketed it as midi though, but we know better of course ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals/page/2#post-1464397 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 17:28:52 +0000 Jules 1464397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to see the skirt with a slightly more 70s/boho styling, as came up in the other thread. I know that's not really your style, but I'm thinking subtle tweaks. Cognac footwear, a patterned blouse in a softer fabric? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals/page/2#post-1464254 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 03:27:53 +0000 Anonymous 1464254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad that you are keeping the lot. My wardrobe would not function without a denim skirt. On me a dark wash pencil shape is my favorite, but I really like the A-line shape on others. This one fits you beautifully and is a flattering length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals/page/2#post-1464201 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 01:05:59 +0000 thimblelina 1464201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All keepers! Great jeans. Love the denim skirt on you. And your sandals are very similar to a black strappy pair I've worn heavily for several years. The perfect architectural 'grounding' to many summer looks. I loathe a wishy washy black sandal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals/page/2#post-1464161 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 23:24:39 +0000 Ingunn 1464161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Harmonica, thanks! I really like the pieces, and I have in fact decided to keep the lot.</p> <p>Rabbit, thank you! I find that we often believe the opposite to be true, and many Norwegians look to North America for trends and inspiration. I wonder why this is so. </p> <p>Thank you for the kind comments, E, Elle and Carla!</p> <p>Kkards, thanks! It's the same here, I looked for similar sandals last year, but no luck. Regarding the jeans, I think they are wearable with ankle booties in the fall, so that won't be an issue. The fabric is substantial enough for fall, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464158 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 23:14:00 +0000 kkards 1464158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt, and I think Anna posted something very similar recently. Also love the sandals, and I hope they are still current, as that look is just starting to show up where I live! I like, however, I wonder if the length will work in the fall or will these jeans be limited to spring, and does thst change anything? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464127 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 21:51:12 +0000 Carla 1464127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what TransconaSharon said - about the sandals, AND the jeans. The fading on the thighs doesn't detract, and they are worth keeping for the rear view!</p> <p>This is a really nice set of outfit pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464124 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 21:44:30 +0000 Elle 1464124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the sandals.&nbsp; They look good with skirts and pants and are not dated at all.&nbsp; I think the jeans are a keeper - I like the way they look on you.&nbsp; I can't comment on the skirt since I also have a troubled relationship with denim skirts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464098 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 21:13:23 +0000 E 1464098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your sandals! I'm not big on&nbsp;denim skirts, but I like how that one fits you. And I can see you styling it in an Alexa Chung way, to be sure.</p> <p>I think you look much better in the jeans than the model! They fit you really well in the rear, so as long as you're ok with the fading, I think you can rock them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464081 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 20:44:47 +0000 rabbit 1464081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all look good. &nbsp;I'm not sure that the jeans look significantly different than something you already have though (to my less educated denim eye, I defer to <b>Cocolion</b> on all things denim.)&nbsp;</p> <p>The skirt has a very pleasing length and shape on you. &nbsp;I think <b>Katya</b> has a great idea about trying different top shapes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think some fashion-eye things are so location specific (in a very very broad generalization, I feel like it may be that&nbsp;parts of Europe are far&nbsp;ahead of the curve of middle America, and therefore what looks 'old' to middle America might have been gone so long from general wear in Europe that it's a retro revival rather than a holdover. &nbsp;For example there was a time when 70's wear looked really dated because it was still fully stocked in thrift stores and there were plenty of people still wearing it. &nbsp;But it's now been 40 years, and it does look fresh. It may be that&nbsp;a fair amount of non-urban center America is still wearing some late 80's 90's and a lot of early millennium&nbsp;wear for example).</p> <p>The sandals work well in all the looks and the ankle strap echoes the belt nicely.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464070 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 20:36:52 +0000 harmonica 1464070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit of the jeans and skirt looks good to my eye, but do you love them? I'm sure you'll style each piece very cleverly and updated, so that's not my concern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464052 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 20:13:28 +0000 Ingunn 1464052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Katya, that's a&nbsp;great tip, and sounds very sensible. I will road test it shortly :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464044 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 20:07:18 +0000 Katya 1464044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in all of these. And I do like the denim skirt, but I wonder if it would look more modern with a different top. Perhaps something with shorter sleeves and without buttons. I have an A-line denim skirt and find that it does not work with my button-downs. Just a thought based on my own limited experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464031 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 19:45:05 +0000 Ingunn 1464031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, the sandals are Vagabond, and I'd be incredibly happy to help you get them. Please don't hesitate to ask! Thank you for the supportive verdict on my denim pieces. The skirt is soft, but the buttons stay closed, and I've done the sit down test with it. It passed!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464025 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 19:35:59 +0000 Suz 1464025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sandals and want to know what they are! Not that I will be able to get them here, but I would love to try. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the jeans a lot, too, and if they don't duplicate your others, I say keep.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the skirt, I think you can style it to be very current. It looks good on you and will be useful. I have a bit of a worry about denim skirts with button fronts, having suffered unpleasant sensations of "bulge" with them in the past, but the new fabrics probably lie better. I would do a sit and stand test to see, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464024 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 19:31:45 +0000 Ingunn 1464024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, Janet, you should have no worries, you always&nbsp;look fab and not too wide anywhere at all&nbsp;:) The fading is more pronounced in the photos than in real life, and I'm okay with it. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment.&nbsp;</p> <p>Denise, you know that I tend to agree with you at all times. Thank you for your supportive comment.</p> <p>Isabel, thank you for your kind comment. I'm not giving away these pieces, but contemplating if I should keep them or return them to the stores. I'm sorry for not making that clear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kiwigal, thank you! Another vote for keeping the lot. I think both the jeans and the skirts are a lot&nbsp;closer to be keepers by now :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1464010 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 19:09:02 +0000 Sal 1464010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all these pieces. The sandals are wonderful...I bought some black flat sandals this summer and they have been such a great useful item. Definitely keep!</p> <p>I like these jeans on you. I think they are flattering and fashionable. The wash does have a couple of faded patches but only you can decide if that bothers you or not.</p> <p>I think the skirt fits with the 70s look....I have a soft spot for A line denim skirts...to me they are more comfortable than denim shorts, and can be worn in a bigger variety of settings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1463993 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 18:21:42 +0000 Anonymous 1463993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only thing I don't like about the jeans is the placement of the high thigh faded patches which look kind of odd and decidedly unnatural.. The skirt is cute, and I don't even like denim skirts,&nbsp;but this one fits you so well, the length is great and it lies flat in the front and the back.. the sandals look great too and I see no problem with wearing them with skirts.<br />I'm wondering what prompted the misgivings about these things? Maybe&nbsp;you just got all the wear you want out of them and they could go on to someone else who'd enjoy them more?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1463984 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 18:01:05 +0000 CocoLion 1463984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new jeans, actually I like them more than your existing jeans. &nbsp;Also the skirt and sandals look great on you. &nbsp;I don't think the sandals look dated at all, I think this trend is hanging on for a while. &nbsp;Maybe ask this same question next year? &nbsp;They look modern and they are not stumpifying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1463979 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:54:08 +0000 AM 1463979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto on sandal love. And Ditto with what Janet said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1463977 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:49:00 +0000 Janet 1463977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sandals are great! I'm not sure of the skirt or the jeans to be honest. I think skirts like that take some careful but adventurous styling to make them look current, but I may just be showing&nbsp;my skepticism about norm core looks. :-)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I confess,&nbsp;I'm not a big fan of the jeans because of the defined faded spots, but keep in mind that those spots at the thigh are the first thing to jump out at me because I'm sensitive about that area on myself. If you don't mind that, the fit looks properly boyfriend-y. I kinda think you could find better ones, but that is just me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1463973 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:38:16 +0000 Ingunn 1463973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn and Laura, thanks for your input. I think the feel of the jeans is very different from the oleo bf's, it is a much heavier fabric, which I like about them.&nbsp;</p> <p>The response to the skirt puzzles me a bit, because in our local magazines and websites (the&nbsp;Scandinavian ones), an A-line denim skirt with buttons&nbsp;is a "must-have". Too funny - I who thought I was channeling a cool Alexa Chung-ish style in that skirt&nbsp;:D Seriously, though, I totally get what you mean, the photos show perhaps&nbsp;something else than what I was after (a bit of 70's glam). I suppose it needs a lot of modernizing with styling and supporting acts&nbsp;to pull it off the way I'd like to, and it is maybe not worthwhile.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-krs---denim-skirt-boyfriend-jeans-and-strappy-sandals#post-1463925 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 16:22:52 +0000 lyn67 1463925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these all. Great fit for the clothes but esp the ankle strap sandals. I have a pair in navy (and small wedge) and I. JUST. LOVED. THEM. and wore with everything! </p>
