Yep, the tops are navy and white. The skirt is black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908933 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 15:55:08 +0000 delurked 1908933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped - Good to know. It was longer than I had expected. Maybe it depends a bit where it sits on the hip. The skirt is black. The tank looks to be the same fabric, but different colors. I remember Angie recommended a different top in this fabric too. I’ll take a look for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908929 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 15:41:30 +0000 unfrumped 1908929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also I’ve had some success I’m ketting down skirt hems when there is texture to the fabric. My tailor can use most of the available hem by adding hem tape. But if the Tall has good length but fit is off, then tailor the fit.</p> <p>And this seems s little odd—my BR website shows the tank is in NAVY and skirt in black. ??! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908924 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 15:22:50 +0000 delurked 1908924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisap - let me know what you think of it. </p> <p>If I’m remembering correctly, it was a thinner weight without being super thin and showing too much IYKWIM. So it’s likely not a winter skirt for you or Colette, who have real winters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908923 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 15:20:02 +0000 delurked 1908923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn, Shevia and SF. </p> <p>Bijou - I got a striped skirt from Loft last year after trying and rejecting some other tube skirts. This is called a pencil skirt but has the same comfort level as the one I got. </p> <p>Thanks Angie. It did feel like me, and I could see it in the workplace if you don’t need too dressy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908907 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 14:57:08 +0000 Anonymous 1908907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's apparently in stock in our local store, so I'll definitely check it out tomorrow. Would be great to have the matching tank, which I think Vivian has. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908881 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 14:18:39 +0000 Angie 1908881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS.&nbsp;</p> <p>It has a nice casual integrity for your style. And it's suited to some biz casual dress codes too. Thanks for the tip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908772 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 08:32:52 +0000 Bijou 1908772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delurked if you are looking for a black skirt, this one is lovely on you. The fit is beautiful and I like the texture. It looks great with how you have styled it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908766 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 08:21:16 +0000 Style Fan 1908766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirt.&nbsp; It is very nice on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908712 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 02:33:15 +0000 Jaime 1908712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908705 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 02:17:07 +0000 Brooklyn 1908705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a really nice skirt DL. I like the texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908703 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 02:06:33 +0000 delurked 1908703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette - I kept with my usual size. Maybe some could go down, but I really wouldn’t want this style too tight on me. I live in a warm climate, and don’t think it will be too hot through the summer. For me it could work all year round. </p> <p>Crst - it does look like the same fabric. I found it felt nice. Bet it would look good together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908699 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 01:47:00 +0000 crst 1908699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fabric is nice if it is the same as the tank.&nbsp; I have it in white.&nbsp; It would make a cute set with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908696 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 01:33:28 +0000 Colette 1908696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you and I really like the texture even more now that I see your pictures. Do you think it is only a spring skirt? Did you size down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908682 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 00:57:01 +0000 delurked 1908682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce - I’m debating it. I was originally going to try it on in regular in the store to see if I wanted to order it in a tall. When I tried it I thought the regular size was nice, and I’m not sure if I’d like the tall more or less. Also, I had bought and returned a denim skirt from Talbots last week. I decided when I got it home it didn’t feel like me (plus, I didn’t like how it fit my stomach), but this skirt made me feel very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908679 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 00:44:45 +0000 Joyce B 1908679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you buy the skirt, Delurked? It looks very nice on you. I just ordered too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908674 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 00:14:00 +0000 Joyce B 1908674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting that beautiful skirt. I am thinking of giving it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908671 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 00:09:17 +0000 delurked 1908671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette - the texture makes me think it could be dressed up or down quite well. It wasn’t as structured as a regular pencil skirt, which I preferred. </p> <p>Joy - yay. Glad the link led you to other discoveries. </p> <p>Lisap - I will throw a picture above. I have a tough time with black and pictures. Also, my angle for selfie does make the skirt look just slightly longer than IRL. But I’m off short skirts, and thought the regular could probably work for me, so the tall would definitely give you a couple more inches in length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908659 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:43:14 +0000 Anonymous 1908659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - I like this . I’m tempted to order in a tall just for the extra length . Thanks for the tip ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908658 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:42:00 +0000 Anonymous 1908658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, delurked, thank you. The link showed me a great bouclé skirt that would make a great spring outfit with my boucle’ jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908651 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:32:04 +0000 Colette 1908651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the texture in that skirt. Thanks for the heads up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-penciltube-skirt-from-br-worth-a-try#post-1908647 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:22:23 +0000 delurked 1908647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this black skirt from Banana Republic may work for some people. I know on Lisap’s thread this type of skirt was recommended. This one is a knit that came just above my knee, and I’m pretty tall. TTS, but fairly generous in sizing. It does come in a tall for those who like skirts longer. It seems like it could handle some weight fluctuation more than a traditional pencil skirt. </p> <p>Just throwing it out there in case someone’s on the hunt. </p>
