I ended up wearing #1 today - you convinced me. I decided to keep it simple and just added earrings and skinny gold belt.<br /> I think I will try to style #3 with different tops and accessories and see if any tickles my fancy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278712 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 21:14:16 +0000 Jenava 278712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I like them all, too, but to me #1 would look more modern with a white buttondown or something like that (something very fitted and tucked). </p> <p>I personally don't love the "all black with a pop of color" outfit, even though I have done it a lot in the past myself. Maybe it's my personal baggage, but I prefer a more layered look when mixing black and colors; it just looks more updated and cool to my eye. </p> <p>That said, I like #1 and #3 the best. #3 is fun, but I think maybe it needs more texture, which I think you can add by way of accessories. </p> <p>LOVE the tweed jacket in #1; it's so flattering on almost everyone (including me - I tried it on but didn't buy it). I so wish I had gone ahead and splurged on it when it was available. Sad face for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278698 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 20:50:20 +0000 Jonesy 278698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these, and I don't think either jacket is too long for that skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278641 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 19:52:15 +0000 mamaKate 278641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I have a couple of skirts with that silhouette and I tend to style them in one of two ways: either with shorter jackets, as you have done, or with a blouse plus cinching belt, with optionally a long cardigan. You've done wonderfully so far - keep up the great looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278611 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:29:19 +0000 Lisa 278611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #3 best. For #3 I think piling on long necklaces or a scarf is enough to counter the all black look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278582 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 17:21:45 +0000 morethanbeige 278582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, then #3. Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278565 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 16:15:11 +0000 MNsara 278565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is fab as is. It is a perfect length jacket on you and with that skirt.</p> <p>#2 is great with the red top and skinny belt. But if #4 is the backside of that outfit - we should be able to see an inch or so of red top. I think that would be a fun touch.</p> <p>#3 is fun with the vest/jacket (can you wear that this time of year?). Try it with layers of pearls in the neck opening. Try it with cream or bright under top for some additional contrast. Remote idea would be to put a skinny metallic or color belt over the jacket -- may work or may not. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278562 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 16:07:22 +0000 ticksgirl 278562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all, but especially #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278556 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 15:45:40 +0000 kellygirl 278556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3 are fab!

It seems a little long compared to #1 but like MaryK, I really do not know so maybe I should zip my lips? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278440 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 05:35:43 +0000 AJ 278440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like #1. #3 is nice as well...just pop on a statement necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278401 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:34:09 +0000 Tanya 278401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely adore #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278389 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:19:57 +0000 Kyle 278389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I think No. 1 looks just great the way it is. The neckline is flattering. The overall silhouette is flattering. And that jacket is killer. This is a winner, in my opinion. Makes me wish I'd bought the very same jacket when I had the chance. Everything about this is working, in my opinion. You could add a necklace, but the simplicity of it feels right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278387 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:17:31 +0000 Angie 278387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE outfit #1. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278380 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:13:48 +0000 MsMary 278380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE #2! The back doesn't bother me, but the length of jackets in back is not something to which I have ever given a great deal of thought, so what do I know?</p> <p>How about a long-sleeved turtleneck or cowl neck under the sleeveless jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-orphan-help-me-to-style-it#post-278367 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 03:59:01 +0000 Sveta 278367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For tomorrow I am trying to style my black flared skirt from this post:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purge-the-very-last-one-for-now" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ne-for-now</a><br /> I have the following jacket options to wear with it:<br /> 1. red Hinge jacket. I think it is short enough to wear with this skirt (pic. 5). If this is a good option should I layer a black or white top under it<br /> 2. black&amp;white chanel-esque jacket. I am afraid it is too long for this skirt in the back (pic. 4)- what do you think<br /> 3. I like how my sleeveless black jacket looks with this skirt but I am afraid it is too matchy-matchy (even fabric looks exactly the same as it is a set even though I trifted them in different places.) Maybe wearing something distinctive under the jacket will work - please help!</p> <p>I am really struggling to style this type of skirt so it looks updated and modern and me - do you have any suggestions</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
