I paid sale price at the sale (I think - my brain is scrambled). They have it in petite but the regular seems short enough for me. You should try it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-403286 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:51:05 +0000 Lisa 403286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote 1/2, and I really like how you styled this skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-403071 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 14:17:25 +0000 Vix 403071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1/2, especially as you will likely be wearing it with hose/tights vs bare legs. T</p> <p>The too-big back-slit version is nice but I think you'd be looking at $$ for alterations.</p> <p>It's not the length of the shorter skirt that makes it a "pass" for me but the shape it creates on you; it's rather boxy, and I think that can actually be more dowdy than a longer, more fitted style...like #1. ;)</p> <p>You sure have great thrift stores in your area! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-403070 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 14:17:01 +0000 Deborah 403070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1and 2 look the best to me from both views. You have great legs, however I think 3 is too short but 5 could be worth altering. Great thrifting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-403065 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 14:14:16 +0000 Queen Mum 403065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you know, I think if you lighten up your leg wear, the length of #1 would be fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-403059 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 14:04:28 +0000 MNsara 403059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie - you're confirming what my gut knew about the skirt length (so why is it so hard for me to believe my gut?) I'll get cracking on #1 &amp; 2. </p> <p>Una - I adore yours on you. I went looking for Caslon online, but couldn't find it. Is it Halogen? They have a super nice one. My (cheap) problem is now spending full price and not knowing if I'll have to force myself to wear it. . . so I'm moving toward alterations depending on what they run. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402944 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 05:06:07 +0000 catgirl 402944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 3/4 is too short although you can pull it off with your fab legs. Did you try the Caslon leather skirt I got at the NAS? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402943 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 05:01:53 +0000 Angie 402943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #2 best by far. Super!</p> <p> #3 is definitely too short - sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402912 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 04:03:24 +0000 MNsara 402912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Heather, I WISH you'd come thrifting with me! I even brought home a blouse because it reminded me of you - seriously! When this dust settles, I hope to ask how you'd style it! You always have such fab skirt/blouse outfits!!! </p> <p>modgrl - thanks, and I'm not afraid of the front slit anymore either :-)</p> <p>Sveta - I'm a bit concerned about the short length in 3/4 too! I don't want the teenagers I teach to think I'm trying to be one of them. I'm hoping to check on alterations cost tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402873 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 02:47:28 +0000 Sveta 402873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #5: I think leather skirt on the shorter side may look a bit...you know but #5 is the perfect length, very sophisticated. It can cost a pretty penny to alter it but if the quality and condition is good does it really matter?:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402859 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 02:17:40 +0000 modgrl 402859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 2, I don't mind the front slit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402858 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 02:13:38 +0000 Heather 402858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, $6 for a leather skirt?! It is settled, I am coming to thrift with you, Sara! Wow! I really like 3/4. You look so great--not matronly--not never! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402855 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 02:09:23 +0000 MNsara 402855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Lyn &amp; Victoria - I take it the shortness doesn't bother you.</p> <p>QM - I wasn't so sure about the front slit either, but looked up Angie's blog from May and decided to give it a fair chance. Maybe I can compare cost of shortening the first vs. taking in the third. . .</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/05/04/emerging-trend-front-slits-and-vents-on-skirts-and-dresses/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/05/.....d-dresses/</a></p> <p>They were so cheap that I'd be happy to keep two if I'd wear both even twice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402854 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 02:09:11 +0000 Victoria 402854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 and 4 are my favorites. I don't think its short at all-you have great legs so you should show them off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402835 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:56:07 +0000 Queen Mum 402835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't care for the front slit in #1, and it seems a tad too long. I do like seeing more of your leg with #3, but it may be a tad short.<br /> #5 might be juuuuust right! Slit in back, perfect length.... will it cost much to alter? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402833 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:55:36 +0000 lyn* 402833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3/4 are my favorite; I think the length looks fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-queen-of-indecision-holding-final-court-leather-skirts#post-402828 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:52:15 +0000 MNsara 402828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked too matronly in the NAS leather skirt that Antje and Bei-Jing look so fab in. So, I got this bee in my bonnet to FIND A LEATHER SKIRT - ASAP!! (and cheap because I may chicken out and not wear it)</p> <p>Thrifting was fruitful and I came home with three options (yes, even my thrift stores accept returns;-) and ask for your help once again.</p> <p>#1-2. A luscious Classiques Entier skirt with front slit. Maybe a bit matronly, but I tried to style it per Bei-Jing's look, AND it only cost $6</p> <p>#3-4. Great fit, great leather, but too short? If kept, should it be altered to be more of a pencil than A-line?</p> <p>#5-7. This one is clearly too big, but its slit is in the back, its leather is superb, and maybe its length best so that it's worth altering? (I have it held by hand in the pics to take it in). Does it look much better than #1, say?</p> <p>What a hassle my indecision creates! So, thank you SO, SO, SO very much for attending court and helping me make up my mind I cannot imagine taking these style adventures all on my own. . . </p>
