I hope it is not frumpy as I have two skirts in a simialr silhouette.&nbsp; So, that may bias me&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963395 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:26:45 +0000 rae 963395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, another poison eye here. Unless you want to go in the prairie home direction with your style... I'd love it if it were silk or even jersey. The denim-like material combined with the length just says square dancing to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963309 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:46:59 +0000 Jaime 963309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see the appeal.

With Angie's suggestions it would look great but that is pretty much the only ensemble that I can picture so not a workhorse but they may be fine with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963203 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 05:35:16 +0000 CocoLion 963203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it; I feel it needs a modern heel to make it non-frumpy. &nbsp;Although an edgy pointy-toe flat might work too. &nbsp;The ankle strap heel as shown looks perfect.</p> <p>Overall, I think the outfit needs very modern styling in order to remove the potential frump factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963202 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 05:25:16 +0000 Mia 963202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the fabric will make or break it. I love the zipper in the back. I think the silhouette will be fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963186 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 04:17:49 +0000 Adelfa 963186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would work for you with a very fitted top. &nbsp;This is a case where being "small on top" would be an asset, as it would allow you to look delicate and small above all the volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963180 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 03:56:19 +0000 Deborah 963180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks lovely. A little different for you but often success or otherwise is in the styling;). I would definitely try it;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963174 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 03:47:46 +0000 Beth Ann 963174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What?&nbsp; First, you post, asking if you're a "wasteful, spendthrift fool," and now you ask if you're nuts?&nbsp; You crack me up!</p> <p>I'm going to be making skirts like this, Suz, hopefully toward the end of summer.&nbsp; Fit and styling are everything, I think.&nbsp; Footwear will make a difference, too.&nbsp; &nbsp; As for this particular skirt, it's hard to tell from the pic alone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963149 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 02:57:24 +0000 sarah 963149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Styled very carefully, I think it could work. With birkenstocks and a hip-length semi-fitted tee, not so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963145 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 02:49:52 +0000 MNsara 963145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, check it out!&nbsp; The fabric will make a lot of difference!&nbsp; If the fabric works, then Angie's pointers will help pull together a winning outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963135 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 02:28:00 +0000 catgirl 963135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see it's cotton and linen.&nbsp; Could be very ladylike or like the new j. jill, which I'm not loving.&nbsp; Now I'm CURIOUS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963131 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 02:24:02 +0000 Mo 963131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hesitate . . . maybe I have a poison eye like Una. &nbsp;I am afraid it's photographed to infer drape and movement but in reality is the normal stiff denim construction. &nbsp;Add to that the hideous things this cut does to my high hip and I have a visceral NO reaction, although I realize it might fit you in a much more flattering way. &nbsp;<br />I think the fabric will be the tipping point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963111 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 02:08:49 +0000 catgirl 963111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is what concerns me.&nbsp; A certain shade of denim can look a little too much like elastic-waist denim capris.&nbsp; I think it's that mid-denim that is a poison-eye for me.&nbsp; But the shape and length are right up your alley!&nbsp; Check it out for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963089 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 01:28:21 +0000 Suz 963089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are all such great enablers! Do you know what, though? I think I am going to take a look in person first to see what the weight and drape of the fabric is like. If it is nice and soft, I may just go for it! &nbsp;:-) And Angie, I will take your advice with the dainty shoe. Looks like I might need some more pointy toed pumps... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963084 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 01:23:52 +0000 Anonymous 963084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the most ladylike denim- like skirt I've ever seen. It will be lovely with the white sandals and the red ones you ordered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963082 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 01:22:16 +0000 Angie 963082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elegant. Of course you're attracted to it :). FAB with a little crop top!!! My thumbs are up! Must wear with dainty shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963076 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 01:10:00 +0000 lyn* 963076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I think I am interested in this skirt too.</p> <p>If it's frumptastic, we will be frumptastic together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963075 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 01:09:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 963075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My it's my turn to chuckle...</p> <p>Every once in a while we fall for a piece that doesn't exactly go with what we believe our style to be. That's how we stretch ourselves stylistically isn't it? If we never tried anything, we'd never grow.</p> <p>I think the skirt is gorgeous and I can see you wearing it with a crisp button down shirt. Only one way to tell... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963074 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 01:09:20 +0000 Eliza 963074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it denim? I think the difference between frump or not will come from both the weight/structure of the fabric and the styling. I bet you have good ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-nuts-to-be-interested-in-this-skirt#post-963070 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 01:06:05 +0000 Suz 963070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zara.com/ca/en/new-collection/woman/skirts/denim-midi-skirt-c269188p1344556.html">Would this be frumptastic IRL</a>, do you think? Something appeals...</p>
