Pretty skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971890 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:15:03 +0000 Anonymous 971890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would actually hike the skirt up. I think the length is a little in between. Not long enough to be maxi yet not short enough for either midi or tea length. It is a knit, you could just wear it higher on your waist. i like #1 but can you wear it in this heat? I would just style higher on your waist with the top untucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971793 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 04:40:40 +0000 Adelfa 971793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried the jacket with #3? &nbsp;I think that might be my favorite of all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971778 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 03:45:14 +0000 Sveta 971778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>I adore #1 on you, jacket does make a difference!</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971651 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 23:40:18 +0000 Angie 971651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bethskirts. I love it :). Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971613 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:33:38 +0000 Beth Ann 971613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback!&nbsp; I don't like to give up when the outfit doesn't just "fall into place."&nbsp; I'm wondering about a simple sleeveless, but woven top, perhaps?<br />Of course, all of mine are patterned, for wearing under jackets!</p> <p>Angie:&nbsp; Thanks for the thumbs up on the long midi.&nbsp; I think I might like to try another -- a little shorter than this -- for Autumn.&nbsp; My sewing machine will be put into use for making bedskirts and, well, Bethskirts, after I survive Vacation Bible School next week.&nbsp; I'm the preschool Bible teacher.&nbsp; Diva + 40 preschools could be a pretty dynamic mix!</p> <p>And you may quote me anytime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971612 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:33:30 +0000 Anonymous 971612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice skirt! I tried on a maxi dress yesterday and felt like I was wearing a wizard robe. I like how you have styled it here. I agree with Angie, make the high-low more exaggerated. I am keeping my eye out for a high-low skirt or dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971610 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:33:13 +0000 ElleH 971610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. All versions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971608 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:30:59 +0000 always trying 971608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too like #1 best, but especially since denim jacket is one of my favorite articles of clothing.&nbsp; I love the striped maxi.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971604 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:21:44 +0000 Cindy 971604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that #1 is the best, #3 looks okay, and #2 isn't flattering with the horizontally striped waistband. Maybe you could try an open button-front shirt when it's too warm for the jean jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971594 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:10:28 +0000 Angie 971594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a LONG midi and I like it! I would love to see the high-low hemline exaggerated. Feel like pulling out your sewing machine? Then you can wear it in warmer temperatures :)</p> <p>Also Beth Ann, I loved your "Form with Flow" description this morning. May I quote you in a blog post? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971589 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:07:23 +0000 Suz 971589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your estimation. I like #1 the best, and next best is #3. I wonder if there is a top style that would allow you to wear it as #3 yet feel you were getting that added structure? Hmmmm. I am not entirely sure what it might be, but might be worth combing Pinterest for inspiration.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971586 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:04:17 +0000 Beth Ann 971586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woops!&nbsp; Yeah, and I left to go grocery shopping (in #3) right after I posted.&nbsp; (Insert Soprano joke here). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-conundrum#post-971581 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:53:57 +0000 Suz 971581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missing pics!
