(that green skirt and blouse as well), worth a try for sure. I like the green blouse better than the navy/red, for a reason, It seems more current to my eye, and that yellow pops out much better than than the white stripe.<br /> I am also blonde, and have don't really know what colour of an eyes?:-) will say rather grey but according to what I do(excry) or what I dress can change to blues or greens,-so both colours suits me great- just wonderred if you've ever experience that, too, even if trully blue eyed:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656712 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:13:29 +0000 rae 656712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If that's the same skirt, it looks way better on Kari than the model... and now I want it, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656706 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:05:34 +0000 goldenpig 656706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered a small skirt and normally wear size 4-6. Will hopefully have it in the next couple days to see how it fits. Hope yours works out! I hate it when I bought the wrong size and then it's sold out...if I'm not sure sometimes I order two sizes and return one just for that reason (like the turquoise top I posted). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656702 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:01:16 +0000 velvetychocolate 656702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>goldenpig -</p> <p>I'm going to get a medium in this blouse, which according to the size chart is an 8-10. Thing is, I'm battling a few extra pounds lately, so this might well be sizing down for me. If I weren't battling a few extra pounds these days, I might chance the small, given that this blouse is ...well, blouse-y. Not this time though...hope the medium works for me. </p> <p>By the way, I was reading very closely the reviews on the jungle green tube skirt, and I have a feeling it runs big, based on some of the reviews I saw. So, even though this is a close-fitting skirt, I'm going to try a medium in that as well. Someone in the reviews said she normally wears a 12-14 and bought medium and it fit her nicely. I don't want the skirt to be skin-tight or anything. Hoping more for drape-y. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656699 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 17:53:44 +0000 goldenpig 656699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh VC, I can't wait to see it on you! I ordered the green tube skirt too, and now am going to try the emerald blouse in XS because I love Kari's combination of green skirt and blouse. Did you size down as well on the blouse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656685 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 17:43:08 +0000 velvetychocolate 656685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I am a tiny bit hesitant about all the black in the blouse, but the thing is - the black isn't right up next to my face with a blouse in this style. Also, I bought a green/black printed dress a few years ago (the same one Kari has and most recently wore to an "Old Hollywood" themed wedding), and although at first the green/black seemed a bit 'much' on my colouring, it actually ended up working out beautifully. </p> <p>Meanwhile - back to the blouse: I see this as an almost 'all season' top, which is why I'm liking this particular colour scheme (jungle green print). I mean, you could just as easily wear it in the fall or winter with dark jeans and some fab boots or booties, couldn't you? Or with a black pencil skirt and some pearls? For summer, it'll work with that green skirt, and perhaps (not sure on this...could be a bit too high contrast, but worth a try) white jeans. I'm hoping it might also look nice with dark denim Kut tapered bermuda shorts, which I already have. </p> <p>This blouse, although it has a lot of black in it, also has green, and a hint of yellow. It's not going to be like a buttoned-up solid black blazer next to my face or anything...lol! Although I have come to the conclusion that too much black close to my face isn't the best thing, I can still wear black - just that it needs some other colour to it as well, and some 'space' between the black and my face, if that makes sense.</p> <p>PS - editing to add: I hope you try the blouse and the skirt! I'm not 100% confident on the skirt for me, but am willing to try it. I can always return it if need be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656662 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 17:13:54 +0000 Vicki 656662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They do have the blouse in the yellow PS, but not PXS, so I'm going to try it on for size. I do like the yellow, but was thinking of the jungle, like you. They also have the jungle tube skirt. Are you concerned about all the black in the blouse, vc? I am, too, as I'm fair and blonde, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656650 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 17:02:23 +0000 velvetychocolate 656650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki - if you click on photo #1, when it enlarges, you'll see that Nordstrom has their model wearing that blouse with a pair of dark blue skinnies of some kind (could be shorts, could be jeans, not sure). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656642 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:58:04 +0000 Vicki 656642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>vc, you are on the ball and I love your ideas. Did they show skinnies with it? I didn't see that and will take a second look. Funny about the white skinnies as green and white were my "school colors" in h.s.</p> <p>I do have the navy and green striped J. Crew collared shirt and thought about that as a topper. Yes, I love your thoughts on the "pile of pearls" as I'm a pearl girl and that would help to close up the area, so to speak. We could twins here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656583 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:19:39 +0000 velvetychocolate 656583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki - I think the blouses are still available I'm very tempted by the skirt...I might just order it anyway, just in case it'll work. </p> <p>If you didn't want a blouse like this, I'm betting that a woven button-down shirt might look *fab* with the knit green skirt! I can see a longer, button-down shirt with this green skirt, perhaps belted and with some fun (maybe yellow) pumps or sandals? </p> <p>Ok - that does it - I'll order it anyway, and even if it doesn't work with the VC blouse, then I might be able to make it work with button-down shirts instead. </p> <p>One last thought Vicki - what about a 'pile of pearls' with the VC blouse? Or a chunky gold necklace/pendant? Would that be too OTT or ALGO? With some white skinnies and fab flats or pumps? A bit 'high contrast' but it could look pretty good. Even some darker skinnies too, as shown in the Nordstrom photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656571 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:08:45 +0000 Vicki 656571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>vc, I was looking at the skirt, too, just moments ago and thinking about the green. I didn't think the blouses were available anymore. I love the the blouse, as well, but with my scrawny neck, I wasn't sure it would be a good look on me. However, the skirt is catching my eye. Hope Kari and others give some insight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656560 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:01:02 +0000 velvetychocolate 656560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you christianne - it's good to hear from someone who's actually tried the skirt on. That's what I was a bit worried about, if it was too form-fitting, close to the body etc. I do have a black pencil skirt or two in my closet, but a black pencil skirt doesn't seem very summery to me. </p> <p>I don't want to make the mistake of buying a blouse without something to wear it with. I've done that too often with other things... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656558 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:57:50 +0000 christieanne 656558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on the skirt and found it a bit too form fitting but that is what makes it so va va voom. I would give it a try - it can always go back right? The blue and red is pretty but I agree that the green combo is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-kari-and-others-who-might-knowabout-that-green-skirt#post-656548 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:49:48 +0000 velvetychocolate 656548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to order that beautiful VC blouse that you have, and that Angie posted as a fab summer top:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-placed-passion-peasant-blouse/3303534?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=Jungle&#038;resultback=952" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....ltback=952</a></p> <p>But I was wondering about the green skirt you wore it with ...is this the one?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-midi-tube-skirt/3275630?origin=category&#038;fashionColor=Jungle&#038;resultback=372" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....ltback=372</a></p> <p>Also - is this skirt fine to wear without any kind of hose or shaper bottoms? I guess I'm asking if this skirt shows wobbly bits or what have you, or is it ok to wear with just some non-VPL undies and a pair of sandals or pumps? </p> <p>One last thing - I am a fair skinned, blue-eyed blonde, and was wondering if I should get a different colour in this blouse? There's one called 'red pepper' as well...(pic 3). What do you think? I really love the looks of the black/mustard/green colour scheme, but can't help but wonder if maybe the red/blue one might look better on me. Any comments/ideas in this vein? I'm much more drawn to the green one...and don't "love" the red/blue one as much for some reason. </p> <p>Thanks for any insight that you (and others) have on this skirt and if the green/black/yellow blouse will work on a fair skinned blonde. </p>
