Many thanks for all the great styling ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663408 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 18:50:35 +0000 Meredith1953 663408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep. I think they interchange well in some cases although I am going to evaluate whether the blue will actually "do" anything for my tops.existing I have always done the duplication thing in the past but am consciously trying to do it only when it will really work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663401 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 18:36:50 +0000 catgirl 663401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've discovered the joys of duplication if you know you're going to wear something often, so if that's the case, then yes,duplicate! </p> <p> I see cobalt blue and red as (weirdly) interchangeable in certain outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663399 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 18:35:33 +0000 Meredith1953 663399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Cjh,<br /> You may be right about it being more of a straight skirt. The one you linked to is definitely more wide at the bottom than this one! I do hope to layer with sweaters and jackets and boots in the fall.</p> <p>@Jonesy,<br /> Thanks Jonesy! I prefer it untucked myself, but DO wish the tops were slightly shorter.</p> <p>@AG,<br /> Yes! Reilly is waving to Kona! I'm really glad you like it and I did have a choice between a royal blue and the red and decided red would actually work better for me. I wonder if it would be too much duplication to get the cobalt blue also? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663362 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 17:35:57 +0000 catgirl 663362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, your furbaby is a Kona twin! </p> <p>And yes, keep the skirt - it's beautiful, and the shade of red is perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663323 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 16:21:39 +0000 Jonesy 663323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is great! I think I like it best with shorter or tucked shirts. Love your sleek, sweet little Reilly :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663314 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:45:44 +0000 cjh 663314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks, and this will pair well with lots of neutrals, including more layers and boots, into fall. The red looks fab on you. The fit is perfect and so is the length. BTW, I would not call this A-line, but straight. A-lines are wider at the bottom. Like this one <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=760188&#038;locale=en_US&#038;kwid=1&#038;sem=false&#038;sdReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bananarepublic.com%2Fproducts%2Fa-line-skirt.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....-skirt.jsp</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663312 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:34:27 +0000 Meredith1953 663312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Angie,<br /> Yay! *Dances for Joy*. I love that killer rating! I can now officially rip the tags off. Yes my furbaby is a heart melting bundle of love. DH took that picture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663300 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:09:08 +0000 Angie 663300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER skirt. </p> <p>Keep :)</p> <p>#4 made my heart melt. Your fur baby adds to your style quotient! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663274 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 14:16:28 +0000 Meredith1953 663274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ManidipaM,<br /> Thank you so much! I was really trying to pick a skirt that would go with things that I already have but wouldn't be too neutral. I didn't have anything in the closet at all in red except for my faux leather moto jacket so I figured since I haven't found any red trousers, I would go for a red skirt. I should start playing around to see how it will work for fall/winter.</p> <p>@Joy,<br /> Thanks for liking it and for admiring furbaby Reilly. He was sitting really pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663262 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 14:08:01 +0000 Anonymous 663262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote to keep. I like all the ways that you have styled the skirt and especially like it with stripes and the white jacket.<br /> Furbaby Reilly is a sweetheart and poses so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663254 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 14:00:09 +0000 ManidipaM 663254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another versatile choice! I love how you make the most thoughtful choices for your wardrobe, Meredith. Single simple piece; myriad great possibilities, judging by these photographs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663249 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 13:56:39 +0000 Meredith1953 663249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Kirti,<br /> Thanks so much!</p> <p>@Harmonica,<br /> Thanks so much! BTW, I received the Halogen denim pencil skirt which I was so eagerly waiting for and it did NOT work out at all. I hated the cut. :(</p> <p>@jayne,<br /> I believe it should soften as you say. I was wrong when I said it was cotton twill in the description. It is cotton and spandex. I am glad I chose a distinctive color too as I have very few colorful bottoms of any sort.</p> <p>@Mona,<br /> Thanks so much!</p> <p>@bj1111,<br /> I don't love it tucked either but I am normally NOT a tucker anyway. I hope that it will soften a tad which will help it drape more. I may even consider getting it tapered.</p> <p>@Sarah,<br /> Good point about how Claire wears them. I will definitely look at more of her posts. I tend to gravitate towards her style for myself anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663196 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 12:12:52 +0000 sarah 663196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with A-lines, too - they are somehow "in between" fuller skirts and pencils. But when you pair this with the denim jacket, it looks great. And it occurs to me that Claire often wears her A-lines this way, too. You might look through her old posts for styling ideas. That color will work great with your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663154 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 09:35:46 +0000 bj1111 663154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think it makes you look wider than you are if you are tucking. when worn with untucked tops, it's ok. not sure it's a 10. just me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663153 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 09:32:37 +0000 Mona 663153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep, Meredith. The colour and cut are perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663120 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 07:24:54 +0000 jayne 663120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fine now, good! And when used a bit, shouldn't the linen soften a bit and be even better!? I say keep! love that you picked red </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663102 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 06:32:08 +0000 harmonica 663102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in that skirt, Meredith! So many great pics you have taken and they *all* work for me. You have made quite some steps into new water lateley and I think this red skirt is one of them. Nice to have some bold colour with your neutrals. Now it's time to walk your lovely dog in a red skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663098 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 06:26:32 +0000 Kirti 663098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this colour and cut of skirt on you. Great choice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663053 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 03:29:06 +0000 Meredith1953 663053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah,<br /> Thanks for letting me know which ones you like! They are actually my favorites too. Interesting that you and Christyg like exactly the same ones!</p> <p>@Shannon,<br /> It is a pretty color isn't it? I realized I didn't really have anything in red and I thought this looked pretty versatile, at least with my type of wardrobe. I'm glad you like it in the various ways!</p> <p>@Lyn Dodd,<br /> I haven't worn skirts in so long that they always are just a little hard to get used to! I do think I will like this one though. I'm please you think the looks all worked well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663039 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 03:01:32 +0000 Lyn D. 663039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think an A-line skirt is the BEST shape for an hourglass/pear and this one is lovely on you! I admire your stamina for taking all those pics at once, and everything I see works well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663025 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 02:33:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 663025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous colour for a skirt and the fit is good Meredith! And I actually like it EVERY single way you've styled it! Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-663021 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 02:30:10 +0000 Deborah 663021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith I struggle to style Aline skirts but this looks really good on you. I am with Christy with 5/7/10 being my favorites here. I think the Aline lends itself to to dressy casual look and you have mailed it. The fit of the skirt looks good and I love the color color for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-662994 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 01:22:08 +0000 Meredith1953 662994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Ceit,<br /> I am really glad if I have given you some ideas!</p> <p>@Kate,<br /> You know, I don't do skirts too much so I am not sure if A-line is the perfect shape for me. So it part of the reason I am soliciting opinions.</p> <p>@Christyg,<br /> I think this casual a-line shape works better with the casual striped boatnecks and casual denim jacket because of the shape casual feel of the skirt. Maybe that is why it doesn't work for you with the leopard or more blouselike tops or blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-662991 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 01:12:24 +0000 christy 662991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At first I wasn't sure, but I LOVE how you've styled it in 5-7 and 10. Not sure why but 8/9 aren't working as well for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-662986 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 00:58:33 +0000 Kate 662986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a lover of A-line skirts myself, Meredith, but I have to say I do love the skirt with the Lands End striped sweaters. #7 is particularly fab! As far as fit goes, it seems to be fitting you very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-662977 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 00:47:46 +0000 Anonymous 662977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Love how you have styled it...you've given me some ideas for my two new a-line skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-new-red-skirt---how-does-the-fit-look#post-662970 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 00:35:03 +0000 Meredith1953 662970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just received this Nic and Zoe skirt from Nordstrom and I like the style and color but need to know from you all how the fit looks. It is made of a cotton twill and is just a casual a-line skirt but I thought it would be handy for summer. My question is whether it is fitting correctly. I have tried to include some sample ways I would style it for summer and also a bonus shot of our living area and furbaby Reilly, as DH was gracious enough to actually wield the camera. </p>
