I have a slightly fitted red sweater I am going to try the skirt, tights and booties with. I do have some red jewelry. I am thinking that the fab Burberry scarf Angie posted would be gorgeous with the skirt. If only it were in my budget. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics/page/2#post-1892799 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 08:33:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 1892799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it best with the booties and bare legs. Of course my eye always goes to shoes. They seem to have more heft with it. I like red and black- could you try the red blazer and black booties? Also would be good with a red cowl neck, black tights, black booties, red jewellery.<br /> My kids used to call me "Darth Mummy" after the Sith lords because I liked red and black so much, when The Phantom Menace came out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics/page/2#post-1892550 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 15:42:01 +0000 Cee 1892550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could make a cowlneck almost look good with it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics/page/2#post-1892473 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 12:58:43 +0000 Mainelady 1892473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Jussie! A black turtleneck does look amazing with the skirt and ankle boots! I think this is how I will wear the skirt first......I am going to need the opaque tights, so it will be all black. I might brighten the look with my tan suede booties, but not sure I like the wider ankle on them as much as the slimmer black booties. I will be adding maximal jewlery and a patterned scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics/page/2#post-1892467 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 12:47:05 +0000 jussie 1892467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I already commented; but I just looked at the pics again and wanted to say I like 1 and 9 the best too, with 8 as third runner up. Wonder how it would look with a simple black turtleneck? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics/page/2#post-1892443 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 10:46:23 +0000 Mainelady 1892443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Shevia, Colette and Rachylou. I will definitely wear this with a sleeveless top. I have much better looking black tops than the one in the pic, which will make me happier to wear.</p> <p>Ladypainter, your ideas are good ones. I can easily wear maximal jewelry and add a belt to a simple top. I can do New England flair, too! I had to laugh about the new wave cowboy look.....I should have put on my red cowboy boots with the plaid jacket. If I ever get invited to Go Texan Day I will be ready! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics/page/2#post-1892421 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 08:38:45 +0000 rachylou 1892421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics/page/2#post-1892409 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 06:09:13 +0000 Colette 1892409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was confused and thought it was a dress at first. LOL I think it looks fantastic! #1 and #9 are my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics/page/2#post-1892396 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 03:49:41 +0000 ladypainter 1892396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like lisap, I think the black tank looks great with the skirt. I’d suggest a simple black or white top, then adding a few dramatic and personal accessories—belt, necklace, scarf or earrings.<br /> The red buffalo check jacket and the boots with the skirt reminds me of some of the new-wave cowboy looks people wear in Houston during Go Texan Day and rodeo season. A little bit heritage, a little bit urbane. Maybe a lighter weight top that has a New England flair? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics/page/2#post-1892387 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 03:36:21 +0000 Jaime 1892387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 for summer and #9 for now. Great skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics/page/2#post-1892356 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 02:21:31 +0000 Mainelady 1892356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MsLuna, I am always super happy to get a look that is leg lengthening! I am going to need to look through my footwear to see what else works. I do think I have neutral heeled sandals that will work........how long before I can wear them is a big question though. Probably May! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892344 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 01:59:08 +0000 Mainelady 1892344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie! Thank you for the Killer vote. This skirt is so far from my norm. With the help from you and everyone here at YLF, I am so much more willing to try new things. Mistakes are easily fixed with a return.</p> <p>Joy, I have never thought I could pull off a dramatic outfit. Your comment makes me very happy. I think my boosted confidence is key to this change for me. It is exciting to think this little number could become an LBD! I need to rethink going with a sleeveless top. I do want to see how an asymmetrical top looks. If I can get the lines right, it might look quite good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892343 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 01:55:46 +0000 MsLuna 1892343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mainelady - that’s what it is, the legs showing! The heels elongate your legs a bit more and the proportions are more balanced with the heel. Not sure if leg lengthening is a style priority for you, but nude heels/booties and maybe low vamp shoes/sandals would work so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892313 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 00:40:18 +0000 Anonymous 1892313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! You can pull off the drama. I like 1 and 5-9 very much. This skirt can become a LBD easily with a black top with or without sleeves. I wonder how an assymetrical top would look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892305 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 00:27:33 +0000 Mainelady 1892305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Katerina. Just putting the jacket on again after so many years, brought an immediate happiness factor. I haven’t tried the jacket with the skirt. I will, just to satisfy any lingering curiosity, but I am sure the jacket is too long and too big to work with the skirt.</p> <p>Deborah, I think you may be right, that items too classic may not make the most of the outfit. I don’t have many asymmetric tops, but I am interested to see how they look on.</p> <p>Thank you Brooklyn. I appreciate your comments. I am thinking the skirt will look best with less structured jackets and tops, but maybe it will depend upon where I am wearing the skirt. I really thought I was going to like the jacket in 3,4 but it was my least favorite look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892302 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 00:22:29 +0000 Angie 1892302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GORGEOUS Killer "dress" just on its own in #1. Love it with the flats, <b>Mainelady.</b></p> <p>I like #5 and #9 best with the support act. Beautiful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892274 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 22:51:41 +0000 Brooklyn 1892274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 9 the best. Then 5/6 and 1. I actually like a structured jacket with the skirt but I think the jacket in 3/4 is just a little too long and scene stealing for the skirt. </p> <p>The skirt looks absolutely fabulous on you. I am glad that you are keeping it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892270 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 22:34:31 +0000 Deborah 1892270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt!&nbsp; And I love anything asymmetric Purely my personal opinion but I like this look in monochrome.&nbsp; I prefer it not to be too broken up.&nbsp; The skirt is a bit edgy and I would steer clear of anything too classic with it.&nbsp; The red and black jacket looks great with it and shorter more cropped jackets in general I think create a really nice silhouette.&nbsp; To my eye the solid red jacket wouldn't be the best combo.&nbsp; Even mixing it with an asymmetric top (like an EF one) of a moto style jacket with an asymmetric zip line could work really well.&nbsp; The combo in 9 looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892265 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 22:21:40 +0000 Katerina 1892265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mainelady, the denim jacket you pulled out is sooo fabulous! I am normally not into denim jackets so much actually, but this one is special. It looks great with the skirt in the picture, have you tried it on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892258 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 22:02:13 +0000 Mainelady 1892258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suzanimal. I am keeping the skirt and confident I will find some tops in my closet that will work with it. I have a couple of short sleeved, cropped sweaters in mind to try. I’ll have another try on session later in the week to see what works. I think I will start with the tights, move on to sheer black hose and eventually the bare legs. </p> <p>Thank you Ms Luna. I really like the heeled booties, too. I like having some leg showing. I have a couple of other pair of booties to try with the skirt and tops, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892247 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 21:44:51 +0000 MsLuna 1892247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all, though I prefer the way you wear the skirt with the heeled booties. I also like both with the tank and the blazers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892246 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 21:43:12 +0000 Suzanimal 1892246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the skirt and think it's definitely a keeper if you can find the right top for it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Like others&nbsp;have pointed out, I don't think the jackets are quite right.&nbsp;I like the idea of a turtleneck or some sort of sweater with it.&nbsp; As someone else suggested, I also think a cropped denim jacket would look cute. I'm with you in OP, I would probably wear some hose or tights with it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892237 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 21:34:32 +0000 Mainelady 1892237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen, thank you. I think you are right. If I wear the jackets, open will be the best. I couldn’t figure out why, until you pointed out the straight line of the jackets and the hem. Thank you for helping me with that.</p> <p>Suz and La Belle Demimondaine, looking at the pics, I have to agree with you. In theory, I was totally planning to pair this skirt with some of my jackets, but they don’t look like they work smoothly together, for one reason or another. I do think too structured, and too long are key observations. I do like the look and feel of #9, so will give that a test drive. I am going to try softer, shorter and more fitted tops and sweaters with the skirt. If I wear loose and flowy on the bottom I almost always wear something more fitted on the top. I am not sure why I thought differently this go around. </p> <p>Jussie, I will be experimenting with tops this week, while on vacation and plan to wear the skirt back to work next week. I am excited !</p> <p>I am so thankful to you all for your comments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892210 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 21:05:30 +0000 jussie 1892210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fab. Wear it ASAP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892197 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 20:55:06 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1892197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this skirt for you!&nbsp; &nbsp;But... I don't quite care for it with the structured toppers in #3-6.&nbsp; &nbsp;I think Lisa P summed it up best, when she said the jackets seem to fight with the skirt.&nbsp; &nbsp;Or... it somehow seems like too many different ideas happening in one outfit.</p> <p>I'm on the fence about #7-8, because the jacket looks a bit rigid, but the check pattern keeps it casual. &nbsp;I think it's one of those outfits that I would have to see 'in 3-D' motion, to decide.</p> <p>I really like the last photo, because the jacket looks relaxed and chill against the skirt, especially with the boots.</p> <p>I love the tank top, because it looks like a two-piece dress in photos 1-2.&nbsp; &nbsp;Maybe explore that idea with short-sleeve and long sleeve tops that are draped and fitted?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>At the end of the day, style is all about wearing what makes your heart sing.&nbsp; &nbsp;If you love this skirt, and you love these ensembles you put together, keep the skirt, and wear 'em all!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892187 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 20:49:49 +0000 Suz 1892187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is fabulous. If the fabric weight is not too heavy, definitely plan to wear with sandals and summer tops!</p> <p>For this season (and transitional) I think a sleeved top or a topper are good options. I like several of these toppers in theory but find that the proportions are a bit off -- the jackets being a bit long. For example, I really like it with the plaid jacket in 7/8 in theory, but less for the proportion. However, the jacket in #9 appears to work a bit better, despite being as long (or longer) -- partially because it's lower contrast, I think, and maybe also because the visual weight of the boots creates a more cohesive impression. I think it will work great with a cropped denim jacket. Any cropped topper, really!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892184 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 20:42:51 +0000 karen13 1892184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lie the skirt. I like 9 best, then 5 and 7. I feel the red in 3 jacket has a formality that as good for the skirt. The tank look great to me too.&nbsp;<br />And I prefer the jackets open as the column of color prevents a straight across line to compete with the skirt hemline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892179 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 20:37:44 +0000 Mainelady 1892179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa P, my heart and my mind are ready, but the Maine winter is not going to easily concede. Hey, I went in search of a vintage denim jacket to try with the skirt. It might not be fitted enough, but I am liking the look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892175 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 20:32:49 +0000 Anonymous 1892175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get it - sorry &nbsp;I assume everyone else is ready to wear spring clothes (we're certainly nowhere near that in MB) It looked like a great summer skirt ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetrical-skirt-styling-pics#post-1892155 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 19:59:53 +0000 Mainelady 1892155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you La Pedestrienne. I immediately pulled the red jackets to try with this skirt, because I can rarely resist a black and red combo either.</p> <p>Lisa P, I guess I just nixed the idea of a tank, because in my world tanks are for summer. I do really like the fitted top with the skirt, though. Your idea for softer tops is a great one! I have some lovely sweaters I will try it with and I never even thought of wearing a jean jacket with the skirt, but now that you mention it, I am going to have to try it out!</p> <p>Thank you, Aurore and Bonnie. I am going to keep the skirt. I think the skirt looks dramatic ( but probably because I have nothing at all like it) and casual, too. I love the way it moves when I walk. I also think I have more style options to play with, which will give this skirt a lot of wears.</p> <p>Sara L. Thank you. I was worried that the longest part of the skirt would be too long, or that all the angles would be too much for my petite frame. I also worried that it might be too far outside my comfort zone. The more I have tried it on, the more I have liked it, though.</p> <p>Katerina, thank you. I will be trying some less structured tops and I absolutely will wear the skirt with a black turtleneck and some of my scarves and jewelry. The column of black will be an invitiaion for some of my glittery pretties.</p> <p>Smittie, I really surprised myself with how much I like the bare leg look! You are right. I want to wear this skirt right away. To me it seems like a great winter skirt, although the weight is not too heavy for me to wear in the spring, or fall. I am pretty sure that I will be sporting the bare legs a time, or two, as soon as I am not worried about being warm enough. Until then, the tights and tall boots will have to join the skirt party. </p> <p>Always trying, thank you, I hope you do find a skirt you like and that you will share it. Now that I am thinking I can wear this style, I am open to finding one I can wear in spring and summer.</p> <p>Thank you, Jenn. Thus far, I think I like #9 the best, too. I will give wearing the skirt with a tank some thought. Right now, the ideas seems seasonally challenged, like I am confused, which I could very well be.</p> <p>Vix thank you. I do have several short sleeved blouses and tops that might look great tucked in. I do think a pattern would look great with the skirt. The tops would give me the coverage I am more comfortable with and a little extra warmth, too. </p>
