If you only want one, because we are terrible enablers, ombré has to win because feeling like a princess is definitely worth having in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2131102 Thu, 02 Jul 2020 13:11:15 +0000 Helena 2131102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't choose - I LOVE the polka dots on you but I also really enjoyed the outfits you came up with for the ombre ... not much help, sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2131085 Thu, 02 Jul 2020 12:34:47 +0000 RobinF 2131085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both! My vote if you have to pick one is the ombre, it's more special which a birthday present should be.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2131073 Thu, 02 Jul 2020 11:44:44 +0000 Star (Lise) 2131073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polka Dot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2131071 Thu, 02 Jul 2020 11:36:59 +0000 Preppy Pear 2131071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at the pictures and purposely didn’t read the other responses yet. I honestly can’t decide between the 2 - both are lovely on you! If you really can’t keep both, the ombré is so striking and unique- but gah, the dots are perfect on you, too! Ombré is not too long. And happy birthday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2131058 Thu, 02 Jul 2020 09:54:55 +0000 Mainelady 2131058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Splurge and get both. You deserve them! They will serve different purposes. Any item that makes you feel like a princess and looks as stunning on you as the ombré, is a must have. The polka dot is perfect for you and will likely get many wears. &nbsp;You may not find skirts as spectacular as these again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130995 Thu, 02 Jul 2020 01:47:13 +0000 Sal 2130995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look gorgeous but go with the one your heart says.&nbsp; I don't think it would be too hard to get tops to go with either.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>If this is a true present, happiness purchase then pick the one that makes your heart sing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130992 Thu, 02 Jul 2020 01:28:21 +0000 Anonymous 2130992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polka dot.

Hands down. I think you could shave about 2 inches off the hem without interfering with the integrity of the pattern. Then you’d be happier with the length. Try pinning it to see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130974 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 23:14:34 +0000 Janet 2130974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not looking at any responses before answering. You look amazing in both and I really think you couldn’t go wrong keeping both, but I LOVE the ombré. It’s more unique. In fact, I wish it were mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130970 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 23:08:42 +0000 CNola 2130970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ombre! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130962 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 23:00:36 +0000 Barbara Diane 2130962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie, even before I read her comment.<br /> I would keep both IF I would wear both.<br /> I would wear the first to any dressy special event. It can probably be dressed down also but it could go to the fanciest of events. It literally took my breath away, which almost never happens.<br /> The polka dotted skirt is nice and could go casual or more, perhaps is more practical.</p> <p>Post Covid, where and how often would you wear #1? Any special events? Would you pick it or something else in your closet? How many wears a year would you need to feel you made a good choice? #1 is something I’d be happy to have for special occasions.</p> <p>Voting for both or #1, but take your life into consideration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130960 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 22:59:35 +0000 Kate 2130960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polka dot—better length and fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130950 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 22:40:51 +0000 Anonymous 2130950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, the ombre skirt would be perfect for bellydance :)<br /> *eyes skirt...eyes coin belts...looks up nautical chart...buys rum for the journey...* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130939 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 22:09:17 +0000 Suz 2130939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want you to have both. I think the polka dot looks great on you -- fit is fab and it's fun and I can see you wearing it a lot. But the ombre is gorgeous, too, and you feel wonderful in it!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd do the outfit creation session.&nbsp;</p> <p>Happy birthday in advance, and hoping you can justify both!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130937 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 22:07:01 +0000 Gigi 2130937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally like the polka-dot one more. I think the length is more flattering, and I think you look really good in the high-contrast pattern.</p> <p>Tough decision! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130934 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 22:03:11 +0000 nuancedream 2130934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm afraid I'm not much help, because I would keep both. However, that ombre skirt is so uniquely dramatic and it obviously makes your heart skip a beat. Then, that's skirt I would keep. I concur with Angie's recommendation for an outfit creating session with the ombre skirt. You may come up with some different ideas for tops besides navy. Whatever you choose, have a Happy Birthday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130925 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 21:52:26 +0000 slim cat 2130925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn - slight preference for second skirt ( the fit and shape is <br />perfect ). Full disclosure - I've just got polka dotted skirt myself in midi length and have been wearing it non-stop . It is easier to mix with graphic tees and simple tops. Still - maybe keep both?.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130915 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 21:36:58 +0000 Anonymous 2130915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That ombré is gorgeous.

Or do you have other skirts you could wear in similar situations?</p> <p>I really love the ombre, I can absolutely see its magical qualities, and it seems to have a high happiness factor for you. So I am pulling for the ombre, and suggest just swanning about the house in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130900 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 21:05:39 +0000 anchie 2130900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a tough one for me, I am really torn. I am sure I can get much more wear out of polka dotted skirt, I can envision many outfits with it. But ombré has higher happiness factor, such a magical swoosh when I walk, like it floats around me, difficult to show in a photo.<br /> Any other year I would probably keep both, but this year I will hardly have a chance to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130895 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 20:55:07 +0000 Anonymous 2130895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote both- though love the ombre especially! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-two-skirts#post-2130892 Wed, 01 Jul 2020 20:52:43 +0000 Anonymous 2130892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a tough one. I was going to vote for the first one, but when I saw the pic of you in the polka dot one, I've changed my mind. The dot one looks like it fits better, and is a better length.&nbsp; </p>
