I think the denim jacket and the moto jacket are clear winners. Its interesting because I felt the moto jacket just made me look more short waisted but I think I need to be braver. &nbsp;<br />Thank you <b>chewyspaghetti </b>and <b>slim cat</b> for your votes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />@<b>Jenni NZ</b> thanks yes I dont think I buy all that many clothes. I think with my size changes it has meant more this year.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you<b> staysfit.</b></p> <p>@<b>Fashionintern</b> thank you for your suggestions.&nbsp; Lol at your son. My son can't say that because we are drowning in his clothes because he never puts them away!<br />Thank you <b>Star</b>, <b>JAileen</b> and <b>Kkards</b> for your thoughts.<br />Thank you <b>Jonesy.</b>&nbsp; Yes 15 year olds are notoriously judgmental and quickly forget how much you spend on their sports equipment and electronics etc.&nbsp;<br />thank you <b>nemosmum</b> I might try with a t-shirt in summer but maybe a more fitting one.&nbsp;<br />Thank you <b>cat2</b> and <b>Angie</b>.&nbsp; Because the denim jacket got Angie's vote I"m going to wear with my denim jacket tomorrow!<br />ok 2 more days of the challenge then I might be tempted to wear jeans again.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style/page/2#post-2205712 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 22:55:28 +0000 Angie 2205712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute skirt! Nice with the semi-tucked tee and denim jacket! Love the way you added your signature black stompy boots to the vibe. Fab juxtaposition.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style/page/2#post-2205706 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 22:13:44 +0000 cat2 2205706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was voting for the short jacket, and think each of these works, for a variety of occasions. So, good find that expands your comfort zone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style/page/2#post-2205565 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 16:57:38 +0000 nemosmom 2205565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirt! I like it best with the denim jacket (and with the sweater from the first set of pics).&nbsp; I think a big loose tee could work if you can figure out how to reign in the volume some. A belt? A knot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style/page/2#post-2205563 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 16:55:25 +0000 Jonesy 2205563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this skirt for you and especially dig the latest pairings with your jackets! But I also thought it looked great with the t-shirt and longer black sweater.</p> <p>15 year olds are notoriously judgmental and clueless about these important adult matters, and are best ignored :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style/page/2#post-2205550 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 16:36:21 +0000 kkards 2205550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the moto jacket. Also love the short button blazer. I like the denim jacket, but for me it’s in 3rd place </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style/page/2#post-2205548 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 16:26:24 +0000 JAileen 2205548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt on you. &nbsp;I like it best with the denim jacket and the moto. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style/page/2#post-2205505 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 14:06:35 +0000 Star (Lise) 2205505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are good but particularly love it with the denim jacket.&nbsp; Something about the fit and length of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style/page/2#post-2205502 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 13:46:10 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2205502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol about the son.

Aren’t we already drowning in your clothes?” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style/page/2#post-2205489 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 10:45:20 +0000 Staysfit 2205489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt, and much love for the Moto and denim jacket pairing! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style/page/2#post-2205488 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 10:03:59 +0000 Jenni NZ 2205488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt and am LOLing at your son! If he only knew how little you buy comparatively to so many!<br /> In the first set of pics I actually prefer the T-shirt untucked, and in the second set I like the moto jacket and the flannel jacket. I have a bit of a personal poison eye for denim jackets so please ignore that, just telling you what appeals to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205402 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 00:44:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2205402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool! I’d wear it with a cropped sweater, maybe a cardi, or one that’s cocoon shaped. Haven’t read through comments, so sorry if those ideas have already come up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205386 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 23:47:01 +0000 slim cat 2205386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love denim and moto jacket pairing- very cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205368 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 23:09:43 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2205368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with both the moto and the denim jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205363 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 23:00:11 +0000 Sally 2205363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Irina.&nbsp; My 15 year old son said its weird and "are you really thinking of wearing that?, you do buy a lot of unneccessary stuff."&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205358 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 22:55:06 +0000 Irina 2205358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, love all of them!

Perfect juxtaposition. Try knotting the top. Wear with clogs or sneaks or birks.</p> <p>To dress up, I would go with a crop ish top in a woven cotton or linen, maybe with a tie front like @janet. In cool weather, still with a crop sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205264 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 17:59:38 +0000 Katerina 2205264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt on you, what a great find! I like it with the black, especially the sweater and the boots. The skirt would look great with lighter colors too - white or cream. Personally I would like it with brights as well, such as yellow, red or orange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205257 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 17:30:00 +0000 CarolS 2205257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great. I'm a fan of the "intentional frump" of #4.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205249 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 16:25:29 +0000 cat2 2205249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirt, do you have any short knit tops or short jackets that would work with it? The T is a bit too messy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205247 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 16:23:52 +0000 kellygirl 2205247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for 1 and 4. I don't think it's drab at all--more moody and cool, to my eye. Welted sweater might also work. Love the graphic tee idea too. White tee with moto. So many possibilities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205217 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 14:20:32 +0000 Helena 2205217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the stying in 1 and 4! This is a great skirt. I agree it would also look great with a lighter top ... immediately I thought of a white tee and jean jacket. I think it will be super-versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205211 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 13:49:21 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2205211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to see this skirt with white or light-colored tops, or tonal colors.&nbsp; The black is damping down your energy.&nbsp; &nbsp;I really like this skirt for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205209 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 13:24:33 +0000 Irina 2205209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. I would say the skirt is very on trend when worn with chunky shoes or sneakers. I would avoid putting it together with anything too feminine. Semi-tuck t-shirt is fine, the sweater is OK, too but I would try cropped style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205208 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 13:19:41 +0000 Anonymous 2205208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the tee and the sweater look fine in photos, maybe in person they look too heavy or dominant?</p> <p>Something cream colored to illuminate? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205207 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 13:12:44 +0000 Anonymous 2205207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a pair of pants the color of your skirt and was planning to wear them with a black top but have found blues look good…aqua, icy pale blue, and navy. &nbsp;Coral and pinks work too. &nbsp;Try some colors if you want to wear something other than black. &nbsp;I like the black though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205206 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 12:53:45 +0000 kkards 2205206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that skirt and it looks great on you!<br />given that the pleats start a good way down from the waist (not sure but think it might be called a drop pleat, anyway)…wondering if Angie’s 1st formula would work.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2019/03/22/outfit-formula-pleated-midi-skirt/">https://youlookfab.com/2019/03.....idi-skirt/</a></p> <p>Also these examples.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2020/10/02/outfit-formula-relaxed-pleated-midi-skirt/">https://youlookfab.com/2020/10.....idi-skirt/</a></p> <p>I’d love to see this with a shorter or tucked top.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-something-out-of-my-comfort-zonehow-to-style#post-2205202 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 12:08:24 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2205202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the sweater, but not somucheith the tee.
