I see. A funky strong shouldered shirt (maybe with dolman sleeves) might be fun. Booties, definately. A zipper-y jacket, natch. At least it will be more versatile than a LBD ;0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418801 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 22:43:10 +0000 Mo 418801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the encouragement so far, ladies! I think I found clarity about what I didn't want from a pencil skirt - conservative. So I shied away. But I don't mind being dressy; I like a dressy touch actually (although recent WIW's would lead you to believe differently ha ha). I just can't stand the conservative corporate buttoned up look for me. So as long as I can 'funk it up' a little bit, it'll be great! Incidentallly, I *do* want it to be able to do interviews and such, but just don't want to limit it to that use alone. Eagerly awaiting the mailman next week!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418760 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 21:21:07 +0000 dottie 418760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute - I'm guessing you'll find it will work wonderfully for you. Casual-ish shoes should make it do what you want it to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418713 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 20:01:52 +0000 rae 418713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you went for it - I think you'll make it work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418712 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 20:01:03 +0000 Mo 418712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Bella, if this size 2 ends up being too snug - which is a definite possibility - I will keep color in mind for the next time! That makes a lot of sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418708 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:59:28 +0000 bella 418708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you might be better off with a pencil skirt in a non-traditional color, such as dark purple, cobalt, citron, etc. - easier to dress down with pretty tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418700 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:47:24 +0000 Mo 418700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha - Catherine we are definitely on opposite sides of that spectrum lol! This will be the first lined skirt I will have had since buying a suit in '95 for airline interviews!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418696 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:39:02 +0000 CJ 418696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know. I want to say yes because it's a very attractive skirt and looks very easy to dress up or down, but the I don't know is there because I'm so new here I'm not familiar with anyone's style yet. :-S</p> <p>As for being a fish out of the water... feeling the same here. For the first time in a decade I bought a skirt with intent to wear casually. My mind shrieks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418695 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:38:33 +0000 Mo 418695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, thanks for the tips - I know you get it ;)<br /> For better or worse, I pushed the pay now button, so we'll soon see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418693 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:34:22 +0000 catgirl 418693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am all about the pencil skirt with casual top look to dress it down. Wear a loose sweater or drapey blouse and booties to counter the sexy/office possibilities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418691 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:33:53 +0000 Mo 418691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Teri, you know what's funny, I was thinking about the Candie's skirt you had from Kohl's this morning when I started my search. Wish I had gotten that at the bargain of $15!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418689 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:31:30 +0000 teri 418689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and think it could go with just about anything. Doesn't look too dressy to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-that-size-2-skirt#post-418679 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:24:20 +0000 Mo 418679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it is a pencil skirt. And I know I've said a few times I don't wear them and have no place in my life for them. But . . . I'm rethinking that as of late. Maybe I could make it less 'officey' and fit into my style better. And I may indeed need to interview if the bar I've worked at isn't hiring this season.<br /> So, with all that in mind, does this look 'me' as much as a pencil skirt ever could? And are my thoughts of possibly pairing it with my crop tuxedo jacket, as a pseudo suit, totally crazy or possibly something that could work?? I'm a fish out of water here! thanks!<br /> <a href="http://www.thelimited.com/detail/pieced-pencil-skirt/7266564" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelimited.com/deta.....rt/7266564</a> </p>
