Very on trend - except the deep red is a surprise, a twist.</p> <p>My short waisted self also got a pleated silly skirt too, but haven't worn it yet. Been too busy roughing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal/page/2#post-1810260 Mon, 22 May 2017 19:40:41 +0000 Coffeegirl28 1810260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gorgeous skirt and you wear it so well! for other styling options, what about a cropped and fitted sweater?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal/page/2#post-1810188 Mon, 22 May 2017 13:40:38 +0000 Lisa 1810188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday to DH! &nbsp;This pleated style skirt is a nice change from the tube style you wore last year. &nbsp;Since the skirt is flowy and has lots of volume, I'm thinking short tops and slim fit tops tucked in will work best and not compete with the skirt. &nbsp;Don't laugh, but those bodysuit style tops was the first top style that popped into my head. &nbsp;Or maybe a body con fit sleeveless mockneck top tucked in would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal/page/2#post-1810159 Mon, 22 May 2017 10:27:38 +0000 lyn67 1810159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K2K from me!:-)&amp;I'm in love with this combo, never saw a better outfit with a plisée midi skirt! That red is gorgeous with your hair, the graphic &nbsp;white snakers(whohoo!!!) and denim jacket!!! +Happy Birthday to Mr Suz!:-).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1810102 Mon, 22 May 2017 01:24:47 +0000 Beth Ann 1810102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yummy skirt! &nbsp;I think the proportions are working well here, and I suspect that it would look even better IRL, with subtle movement as you walk.</p> <p>Happy celebration to Mr. Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809977 Sun, 21 May 2017 05:09:14 +0000 Jenni NZ 1809977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Suz, gorgeous skirt, love the colour. I would have an urge to wear a slightly cropped top that finished near the waistband, and a more dressy jacket. And maybe red heels, but I do like the white sneakers. You are much taller than me, I felt a bit dowdy-looking in midi skirts with flats, consequently I have few midi skirts left. I've saved one beautiful one from about 2007 in the holding zone, to see if I can figure some new way to wear it soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809967 Sun, 21 May 2017 02:42:24 +0000 Jaime 1809967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I love long pleated skirts like that, but they are hard to wear (I haven't found one that comes close on me). I don't see apple - I see very tricky skirt looking fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809963 Sun, 21 May 2017 01:55:59 +0000 Sal 1809963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great; perfect for a city break!! &nbsp;I love the way you have styled it.</p> <p>I am also short waisted and I do have a tummy and find high waisted skirts hard to style. &nbsp;I think a jacket helps, or maybe a slightly boxy top that sits at the waistband. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809947 Sat, 20 May 2017 22:56:24 +0000 krishnidoux 1809947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can see it looks very good. But I can't see it vrey well. You malaise might come from its length and how wide it's open at the hem? from this pic, there is not way to know. The colour is gorgeous. It suits you well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809936 Sat, 20 May 2017 21:41:09 +0000 Style Fan 1809936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colour on you Suz.&nbsp; I find skirts like that very difficult to style.&nbsp; I like how you have put the graphic tee and denim jacket with it.&nbsp; I also like the idea of the knotted T from Artiza and cropped shell from Ann Taylor that Scarlet suggested.&nbsp; A denim shirt knotted at the waist would be nice too.&nbsp; I remember doing that with those skirts that were very popular in the 90s.&nbsp; I think they were from India and had beautiful prints.</p> <p>Enjoy Montreal.&nbsp; I am so envious.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809920 Sat, 20 May 2017 19:41:29 +0000 tulle 1809920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I would say that "apple" is--ahem--a slight exaggeration!&nbsp; Those crystal-pleats-to-the-waist skirts are tricky on everyone, except maybe lanky waifs with concave bellies.&nbsp; This one is certainly not problematic on you, and I love the graphic tee &amp; denim jacket with it.&nbsp; Have you tried it with a slightly cropped, boxier untucked top? A real gift to the short- waisted.&nbsp; I also have worn long silky pleated skirts as Diana suggested, with a long narrow sweater (like that J. Crew cashmere with the structured stitching along the sides) for a 1920s effect.&nbsp; A slight heel or platform helps with that look.&nbsp; Anyway, you look great. The colors are super on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809908 Sat, 20 May 2017 15:55:48 +0000 Dana 1809908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty! I love how you've dressed down a skirt that could be a little prissy! Have a wonderful weekend!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809907 Sat, 20 May 2017 15:41:09 +0000 Anonymous 1809907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you are rocking that skirt like nobody's business!&nbsp; What a perfect color for you, and I like the way it works so well with the denim jacket.&nbsp; Enjoy the lovely city of Montreal with Mr. Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809903 Sat, 20 May 2017 15:10:20 +0000 cobaltblue 1809903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt! Your hair is looking great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809886 Sat, 20 May 2017 13:02:33 +0000 Karie 1809886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fantastic. The skirt is gorgeous and so colorful. I am also feeling a bit apple shaped lately. I haven't really gained weight but I feel like my weight is shifting and I'm loosing what little waist I had. Oh well, if this is all we have to deal with as the years go by then it's all good, right?!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809867 Sat, 20 May 2017 10:39:36 +0000 Bijou 1809867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No apple shape at all. This is the impact of having pleats from the waist line, so that when you look down it looks to you as though your stomach is larger - but viewed from the front, it visually is very slimming as the lines come from your waist. I have a similar skirt and it was only when I looked at photos I could appreciate that it was flattering. I love this colour and style on you - stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809859 Sat, 20 May 2017 08:04:24 +0000 Mirjana 1809859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, WOW, how gorgeous skirt and you styled it perfect, you look really stunning . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809835 Sat, 20 May 2017 03:56:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1809835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit, Suz! That skirt is fantastic on you, and I love the way you've worn it with graphic tee, jean jacket and sneakers. My idea is to try untucking the shirt and knot it at the "waist," i.e., at high hip. I've seen this look in photos and liked it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809834 Sat, 20 May 2017 03:32:40 +0000 Brooklyn 1809834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt but I also find this type of skirt to be a styling challenge. I would do as Diana suggests, and wear a more fitted, slighter longer top (more hip length than waist length), untucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809805 Sat, 20 May 2017 01:30:20 +0000 Suz 1809805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much! I really enjoy the skirt so it is just a question of finding the right tops -- great suggestions here. I'll try to get a full length photo soon. I do have heeled footwear to wear with it also. Today I was walking a lot and wanted to wear the sneakers.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, bangs are not actually shorter but pushed back a bit. I used a bit of product and shoved them aside. They are shorter than I used to wear them, I guess, but not as short as the ultra pixie a year ago, if that makes sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809797 Sat, 20 May 2017 01:07:33 +0000 Angie 1809797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to say that I don't see apple shape at all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809793 Sat, 20 May 2017 00:47:40 +0000 Anonymous 1809793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit, especially the red and bold silver jewelry.<br /> I can't actually see what you're talking about, but if you're anything like me, you could try a thick belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809783 Fri, 19 May 2017 23:52:30 +0000 Dianna 1809783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What&nbsp;a lovely and colorful outfit!&nbsp; You look stunning in red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809781 Fri, 19 May 2017 23:51:47 +0000 Scarlet 1809781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also pretty</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.anntaylor.com/scalloped-crepe-shell/433132?skuId=22767615&amp;defaultColor=2222&amp;colorExplode=false&amp;catid=cata000010">https://www.anntaylor.com/scal.....&#038;colo</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809776 Fri, 19 May 2017 23:42:56 +0000 Diana 1809776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like this:<br /> <a href="http://diana.lookfab.com/post/wiw-end-of-september-backlog" rel="nofollow">http://diana.lookfab.com/post/.....er-backlog</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809775 Fri, 19 May 2017 23:41:25 +0000 Diana 1809775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty skirt! If you want to try something different I actually like my knife pleated skirt with a long, straight top, untucked, kind of a modern flapper kind of vibe. I'm really fond of that silhouette (it's basically what I'm doing in today's wiw) because it totally hides the short waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809774 Fri, 19 May 2017 23:41:19 +0000 Scarlet 1809774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE that skirt. I have one in a very similar style that I have paired with a top that I do not tuck in, but is relatively short (only works with skirts, or I suppose now the high-waisted pants that are in vogue) and has a graceful bowed hem (longer in the middle and shorter on the sides) so that not tucking it looks like a deliberate look. I wish I could provide a picture, but I don't have any. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: Could be cute</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.aritzia.com/product/subah-t-shirt/63226.html?dwvar_63226_color=1275">http://us.aritzia.com/product/.....color=1275</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-red-in-montreal#post-1809773 Fri, 19 May 2017 23:38:02 +0000 K.M. 1809773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit, the colors, and the shape, and I think the proportions flatter you. I am long-waisted and I've always wanted to be short-waisted! </p> <p>Montreal is such a lovely city. I also find that women are super-elegant there! Even in the dead of winter with icy streets and freezing winds. </p>
