I normally like IM but that made me shudder. I will recuse myself from further discussion of ruffled/tiered styles. ;-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt/page/2#post-1156488 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 16:24:45 +0000 annagybe 1156488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This popped up in a email from Net-a-porter</p> <p><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/409908?cm_mmc=EmailWhatsNew-_-030214-_-AmMonEN-_-WNProduct" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/am.....-WNProduct</a></p> <p>But it's much more of a straight cut than your skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt/page/2#post-1156317 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 10:55:26 +0000 fuzzylogic 1156317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have fun, Melanie!

Now I am feeling ill prepared to follow through since I don't necessarily have some of these items, but I will definitely try and let you guys know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151959 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 09:45:48 +0000 fuzzylogic 1151959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way that an item that is not considered particularly 'en trend' has generated such discussion and debate! (Clapping, clapping) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151956 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 09:30:28 +0000 goldenpig 1151956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It think it could work with one of those white cropped mesh sweaters over a tank top&nbsp;and sandals for a very casual look. But I wonder if it might look too Little House on the Prairie if you go super boho. I think it would be really fun to try to edge it up with leather ankle booties and&nbsp;an army jacket or leather moto jacket or slouchy sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151636 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 23:11:55 +0000 unfrumped 1151636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It can be hard to pull off, for me anyway.</p> <p>I hear the total boho approach, but I could also see it with a belted structured (meaning not limp) white button front blouse; pointy toes might also help or a very cool flat sandal; I'd do more trendy delicate jewelry than big bangles and such. MAYBE a cropped boxy top for volume over volume? Linen or something. In my mind's eye, I&nbsp;like a &nbsp;beachy, fresh look with the long tiers of chambray better than a booted look, but it would all depend on frame and proportions, .<br />Probably I'm not much help because I don't know boho style very well and how to stay modern vs. whether you need to embrace the bo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151610 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 22:25:37 +0000 Gigi 1151610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm terrible at styling, but fuzzylogic's suggestion sounds great to me! I like the wide-necked, off-one-shoulder top. If you don't like boxy, you could probably find a peasant blouse that fits this description. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151604 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 22:08:53 +0000 fuzzylogic 1151604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoopsies- missed that huge picture.... nobody mention the elephant in the room.... :-)</p> <p>I second T! If an outfit looks awesome it's invariably less about what's currently fashionable and more about the attitude with which you wear it! </p> <p>I would wear this with low, heeled cowgirl-inspired boots and a boxy, wide necked/off one shoulder, slightly cropped top! Stack on the bangles, minimal/natural makeup and get something bohemian happening with your hair!</p> <p>I also love the denim-on-denim with tan accessories look (denim button down, wide tan belt and boots with a Cuban heel etc)!</p> <p>Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151497 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 20:07:15 +0000 Dylansmom 1151497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a really hard style to pull off. But if you had maybe a prairie type blouse and some boots it could work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151471 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 19:37:42 +0000 April 1151471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Alaskagirl -- not sold but could be. &nbsp;I'm worried about a "sister wife" vibe but if you edge it up (or however your personal style would intervene to&nbsp;prevent it from going overly prairie&nbsp;costume), I would be thrilled to change my mind. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151432 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 18:53:00 +0000 El Cee 1151432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep… now that I see the skirt pic, I would definitely say that the way to style this would be full-out "boho". Keeping boho current seems to be a lot about accessories -- great hats, belts, boots, jewelry. I am also seeing some retro-boho tiered skirts updated by combining them with&nbsp;modern pieces like cropped tops and sleek booties.</p> <p>Here are a few boho fashion blogs that might give you some inspiration:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.foreverboho.com">http://www.foreverboho.com</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bohobunnie.com">http://www.bohobunnie.com</a><br /><a href="http://bohemianchic.creatorsofdesire.com" rel="nofollow">http://bohemianchic.creatorsofdesire.com</a></p> <p>Hope these are helpful.

Get that skirt out of the dryer and let's get styling!</p> <p>Homeschooling here, too! It's like a little homeschool convention! Bwahahaha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151066 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 06:52:06 +0000 T 1151066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally think all items have the potential to become a staple - a lot depends on our personality and style - like plaid shirts are a staple for me, whether they are in fashion or not - they go with my look of fitted denim and booties.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think a loose/fitted tank on top tucked in, a wide belt on the waist would really make your skirt&nbsp;look super cool! As would a crop top if you are comfortable with that..&nbsp;</p> <p>I also think loose knit tops - ones that are like a throw on - with big loose holes between stitches would also work with a tank underneath. I wonder if I make sense - like the material ponchos are made of.</p> <p>But overall the style will tend towards boho.</p> <p>And if nothing else works, cut it up to make a knee length skirt - I think you would be able to work a lot more tops with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151062 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 06:41:15 +0000 minimalist 1151062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tiered chambray? Maybe just own it. </p> <p>I could totally see this with a tatted doily head covering, scripture-slogan oversized t-shirt and running shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151054 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 06:18:18 +0000 Jenava 1151054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could see it with a sheer peasant style blouse and cowboy boots. &nbsp;Not my style, but if you're the boho, prairie type it could be cute!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151023 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 04:35:37 +0000 Anonymous 1151023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about updating with a boxy oversized cropped knit shift blouse in wild orchid with sheer panels and flats with pointy toes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1151020 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 04:24:50 +0000 annagybe 1151020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this.

It's definitely a unique perspective.<br /> Beth Ann, love the dress in photo 3!<br /> Gigi, even in the pioneer days of homeschooling when my parents startecd, there were many folks who dressed pretty mainstream. Now I would say that 9 out of 10 of the homeschool moms dress nothing like that dated stereotype. I really feel like I need to up my game in front of my fellow homeschool mamas, in fact. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1150936 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 03:23:23 +0000 Gigi 1150936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha, "certain religious sects"... I know the look and used to wear it to some extent. I remember reading online some pick-up lines that were supposed to poke fun at this type of dressing. One of them was, "You look really good in that shapeless plaid jumper."</p> <p>Not all homeschoolers are into "the look." I know a homeschooling family where the&nbsp;mom looks like she was a former model. No shapeless plaid jumpers there! :^)</p> <p>Beth Ann, I do like that Free People skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>After all of this talk about the skirt, now I have to see it.

At least that's how I'd wear maxis to make proportions look good. Oh, and if you have a wide belt, Ralph Lauren/Chaps looks often include peasant blouse tucked into maxi, wide belted at skirt waistline. </p> <p>ETA: And that's my opinion as a homeschooler, homeschooling. ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1150521 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 18:45:19 +0000 MuseumGal 1150521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't doubt yourself - I would totally wear a chambray maxi skirt.&nbsp; In fact, now you have me thinking that I may need to make one!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1150518 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 18:37:57 +0000 El Cee 1150518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nah… you didn't waste anything yet. Try going on Pinterest and Polyvore and look&nbsp;under "Festival Wear" or&nbsp;"Boho Style" skirts. I bet you will find some fun ideas there. The Sundown catalog may be another place to get some ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1150509 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 18:24:02 +0000 Melaine 1150509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I apparently lied, it was in the wash and NOW is drying.

I was actually homeschooled so there was a bit of that going around in my neck of the woods too. never my mom, thank goodness. Anyway, this is a tiered skirt and a very light fabric....which is why I would call it chambray over jean skirt. I am sure it can work, I will just have to work at it! I will check out freepeople, I definitely like their styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-maxi-skirt#post-1150501 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 18:14:22 +0000 April 1150501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmmm... I'm having a hard time with this one until I have a visual, for exactly the reason Anna said. &nbsp;</p> <p>Will chime in again when pics go up. </p>
