I think those sort of skirts are tough to style but you have done it perfectly. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835475 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 03:31:06 +0000 Laura G 1835475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really cute with the black booties and the bird jumper/sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835398 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 18:39:08 +0000 KnittingGene 1835398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is cool and you've styled it nicely. I love the booties with it! How convenient to have found the perfectly hued background as well! Enjoy your trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835357 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 15:39:34 +0000 Jane 1835357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Jenn, yes, they are birds, herons or storks I think. How cool to go around Scotland in a camper van.</p> <p>Thank you Angie!&nbsp;Thank you JuniperGreen! Thank you Delurked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835329 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 14:13:08 +0000 delurked 1835329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your pics. That color is pretty fun too. A nice outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835324 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 14:06:02 +0000 JuniperGreen 1835324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow that is a gorgeous piece and you've got an incredible outfit there with the kooples jumper! &nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the idea of it with a turtleneck and ankle boots (like what you've got on) - or go full ballet-inspired with a boatneck top and ankle strap flats.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835293 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 12:28:57 +0000 Angie 1835293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm off the grid for awhile, but wanted to say how much I loved the way you styled the skirt here. Killer. Nicely done, Jane. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835260 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 09:32:41 +0000 Jenni NZ 1835260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome pics and it looks great with that top and those boots. The birds(?) on the top have the skirt's colour on their wings I think? (Pics tiny on my phone). I love Scotland, fantastic memories from 3-week campervan trip 1988! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835248 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 07:12:48 +0000 Jane 1835248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Inge. The links are really helpful! There are lots of options there, and I feel less like it could be an orphan now.&nbsp;</p> <p>Rachylou, I have been thinking about a bomber jacket...which would be a bit of a way outside of my comfort zone, not a bad thing, but will need careful choosing.</p> <p>JAileen, thank you, I don't have a denim jacket, so may be my next addition to my casual wardrobe would be a denim or bomber jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jenni, I think it will need some thick tights for cooler winter days, and I think a cropped or shorter top will be best.</p> <p>Thank you Firecracker.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donna F, the length is okay I think - photo below - I don't think it is easy to shorten the skirt but I will look later. May be it will be a bit too long to wear it with sneakers.</p> <p>Thank you Krishnidoux, really helpful too, I hadn't thought of wearing it with a longer look, including a longer cardigan. Love the converse idea!</p> <p>I wore the skirt last night; we are on holiday in Scotland, same place as last year (just as green, just as wet!, just as beautiful). I wore it with my lovely Kooples jumper, which I adore! There are cranes embroidered on it. Getting the tuck in right is a bit of a fiddle.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for looking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835185 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 00:49:58 +0000 krishnidoux 1835185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute skirt! I can see it becoming a workhorse for you! <br />Inge brought up lots of very inspiring options.<br />I would certainly try:<br />- &nbsp;a cropped sweater (chimney/turtle neck, thick knit, cream) or <br />- &nbsp;a batwing sweater with a V neck, and knee high pointy toe leather boots. <br />- &nbsp;Very loose, loosely tucked silky blouse with rolled sleeves would also work. <br />- &nbsp;It looks like the perfect skirt to match an easy cotton scarf. <br />- &nbsp;Military jacket would look great too! <br />- &nbsp;Or go max on max with a long knit top with either batwings or larger sleeveholes, and a long pendant. <br />- &nbsp;Or belt it with a large leather belt and wear a cute short sleeves shirt &nbsp;or tee on top;<br />- &nbsp;With white sneakers! Or... even more badass IMO... Converse! (and a black ACDC tee). &nbsp;;)</p> <p>But somehow with this skirt comes the inspiration of relaxed, free, floating, easy wear, and structure in the footwear and jewelry/hat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835176 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 23:59:54 +0000 DonnaF 1835176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous and versatile color!&nbsp; How is the length on you, as I noticed that the model in the pic is quite tall.&nbsp; I ask because I recently passed on an accordion pleated skirt that was too short to be a midi and too long to be a short skirt -- which meant that I could never get the proportions quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835167 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 22:25:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1835167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so pretty, and I love the color! Inge has such good suggestions, and I agree with your styling ideas, too. I think a denim jacket with it is a surefire bet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835091 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 19:31:47 +0000 Jenni NZ 1835091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is such a beautiful colour! I think your idea is great. Definitely cropped top half in some way. I am worried it won't be warm enough for winter? Thermals or long johns underneath with boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835021 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 15:19:38 +0000 JAileen 1835021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's for casual, I think some denim would be good, either a denim shirt or jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835020 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 15:16:36 +0000 rachylou 1835020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, pretty! On trend! I've seen silky pleated skirts styles many ways in the mags. I like the looks with a casual jacket like a bomber or jean jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835010 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 14:08:40 +0000 Inge 1835010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning skirt, Jane, and the colour is quite unique. Fab!<br />Love your outfit idea. I could also see it with:</p> <p>- T-shirt or blouse tucked in + denim jacket or leather or suede jacket + sneakers or oxfords.<br />- With a dressy or more casual top + bomber jacket + ankle strap pump.<br />- With a long gilet or cardigan.<br />- With a denim or chambray shirt tucked in.<br />- A tonal look with an untucked blouse and a shorter sweater layered over.</p> <p>Here are a few examples from Pinterest:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/427560558363752305/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/427560558363752305/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AXSni1V0a-Qm28sscir3APr7mB1dxyjXxrht-rfGuhjGcZaEH1FTsGE/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/.....aEH1FTsGE/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/399272323206280735/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/399272323206280735/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/200691727124972745/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/200691727124972745/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/157063105735267666/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/157063105735267666/</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/6614730685028039/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/6614730685028039/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/211950726192396196/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/211950726192396196/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/444237950722045915/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/444237950722045915/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-skirt#post-1835005 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 13:49:58 +0000 Jane 1835005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers, </p> <p>I bought the skirt shown here last week. </p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.whistles.com/women/clothing/skirts/kitty-metallic-pleated-skirt-25417.html?dwvar_kitty-metallic-pleated-skirt-25417_color=Khaki#start=1">http://www.whistles.com/women/.....ki#start=1</a> It is lovely, but I am a little concerned that it will become a wardrobe orphan.</p> <p>I bought it because I wanted something modern to wear outside of work, &nbsp;and I am hoping that it becomes a wardrobe staple this winter. I would quite like to wear it with a cropped jumper in a cream or white, to go with some white bootees. I would welcome any comments that you may have. </p> <p>Thank you for looking.&nbsp; </p>
