Can't wait to see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-737547 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 02:43:32 +0000 goldenpig 737547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I could see you wearing either one actually! You definitely have the legs to rock a leather mini. Can't wait to see you wearing the one you picked!</p> <p>And you just knocked me out of SYC, I think. I really wanted that Rachel Roy skirt at NAS but there was no way to justify it at those prices. But now that it's at Rack, it definitely deserves an investigation. Problem is I don't know if I can squeeze into it now, or what size I would need after I (hopefully) return back to my normal figure. I ordered three sizes and figured it's at least worth a try-on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-734505 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 14:29:54 +0000 Mo 734505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, the deed is already done. Incidentally, the stretchy skirt I used to mock up some looks has a higher side to it that's too short that I just rotated to the back for the pictures. It's getting purged, along with my tiered black skirt that just makes me feel thick. So it needed to be a skirt at any rate, not pants, of which I have plenty. Also because these chunky sweaters I have in mind are too short for pants. Great idea on the leggings, though. I saw IK's post on the LAMB pants and loved those. Hope she gets them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-734467 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 13:59:13 +0000 Scarlet 734467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would at least try the Rachel Roy one. You can always return it. I don't have a problem with the short leather skirt, but it's not nearly as special and given that you said you don't want to add much to your wardrobe, I would hold out. You can always get a cheap black pencil skirt that looks decent. If you want to add some leather to your wardrobe, why not some leather jeggings? These can be found inexpensively at fast-fashion shops, and I am surprised by how easy mine are to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-734457 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 13:49:14 +0000 Nadya 734457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length is fine. As you said it's similar to your cargo skirt... And you've got the great legs for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-734046 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:04:24 +0000 Mo 734046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I almost about to pull the trigger. Put on a jersey drapey skirt in the same length to approximate the look. I don't think it's too short? 17" here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-734039 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 22:59:47 +0000 Anonymous 734039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh - that's gorgeous and a great price! I like the way the panels wrap around the side as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-734003 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 22:29:32 +0000 Liz 734003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you've got your options well sorted out, but in case you'd like another one, I noticed this skirt today. Pleather, not leather, but exposed hardware and I liked how sleek it looked. </p> <p><a href="http://www.jcpenney.com/dotcom/brands/liz-claiborne/women/liz-claiborne-pleather-trim-pencil-skirt/prod.jump?ppId=pp5001710075&#038;catId=cat100250097&#038;deptId=dept20000013&#038;dimCombo=null&#038;dimComboVal=null" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcpenney.com/dotcom.....boVal=null</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-733987 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 22:00:02 +0000 Mo 733987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks for the late leather supporters weighing in lol! Girl X, the skirt isn't that expensive, considering it is real leather, but thanks for the Express link anyway <a href="http://www.6pm.com/bb-dakota-damien-skirt-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/bb-dakota-damien-skirt-black</a> I do know that I don't want to go any shorter than the 16" skirts I currently wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-733958 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 21:22:51 +0000 Anonymous 733958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one isn't leather (and it's 4 inches shorter) but it's on sale for $10.49 at Express:<br /> <a href="http://www.express.com/pieced-crackle-mini-skirt-51606-43/control/page/53/show/3/sort/Price-Ascending/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/pieced-...../index.pro</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-733942 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 20:45:18 +0000 Sylvie 733942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For you, I vote for the shorter leather skirt. You don't need officewear and your style is too fun for a standard pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-733895 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 19:42:10 +0000 Anonymous 733895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leather!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-733888 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 19:31:34 +0000 Nadya 733888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was that you'd wear the shorter leather skirt more with your casual style. You'd look fab in either, I just wonder if the first skirt would be a closet orphan? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-733884 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 19:24:17 +0000 Kate 733884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I vote for the leather too. I think it fits you and your lifestyle better than the Rachel Roy skirt, beautiful as that is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo/page/2#post-733826 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 18:16:44 +0000 Parsley 733826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, IMO, it would be much better to get one that's a little long and have it hemmed to the perfect length for you than to get one that's too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733812 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 18:05:28 +0000 Mo 733812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, if you loved the RR, it's now online at the Rack and around $120. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/rachel-roy-crepe-combo-print-skirt/3286613?origin=shoppingbag" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ra.....hoppingbag</a> A lot cheaper than the $300 they were asking!<br /> I may look at the Target version if I end up in person in one soon, but don't think I'll be ordering it specifically. I think my heart belongs to a mixed media leather one in the end. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733805 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 18:01:30 +0000 Vicki 733805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I love the Rachel Roy skirt and tried it on, but the price kept me from taking it home, since I already have a few too many pencil skirts that don't get a lot of use. I LOVE Rita's knock-off idea and now must make a trip to Target. Parsley's link is another good one, too, and, of course, you would wear leather well, but if hem length is the issue, is it possible to take one of these to a good tailor who can work with your sweet spot length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733800 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:54:37 +0000 Mo 733800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that Parsley, thanks. But again, that would hit mid calf on me. My white skirt in the above pic isn't quite 22". I think 20" is probably the sweet spot, give or take an inch. I will keep my eyes peeled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733798 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:51:56 +0000 Parsley 733798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could really see you in a leather skirt, Malina, more than the Rachel Roy. But I think you should hold out for one that's a little longer than the one you posted.</p> <p>What do you think of this one?<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/classiques-entier-sunmosa-mixed-media-skirt/3281901" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/cl.....rt/3281901</a>?</p> <p>Unfortunately it's not on sale, but I can vouch for it being a gorgeous and comfortable skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733788 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:33:25 +0000 Mo 733788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking leather panel, and if not this exact one, then one an inch or two longer. I agree that it can be more edgy than sexy, if done right. For reference, the leather one is just a tad longer than this cargo skirt.<br /> The cool tree print skirt is even 2 inches longer than the full white one. And even wearing it way up at my natural waist, that's just too long for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733780 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:26:22 +0000 Aziraphale 733780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote leather. It's on the short side, and leather is always the sexier option, but what if you wear it with flat boots? That would look all kinds of cool, and would put the skirt more in the "tough" category than the "sexy" one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733778 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:22:56 +0000 rachylou 733778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've thought about the shortness... and I still go for the leather. You're going to Tahoe, right? All around, I just see more uses for you for the leather skirt. And if you aren't constrained by a dress code, I totally believe in taking advantage and going for more *daring* ensembles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733755 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:58:41 +0000 Mo 733755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's that fine line between buying too far ahead of season, or waiting until I'd actually wear the piece to find it sold out :(<br /> I'll be essentially going from summer to winter - fall here is hot. Was still 90 yesterday :(</p> <p>I have already bought a leather jacket and corduroys in the middle of summer, but I know I will wear them - and I also knew the MuuBaa was a get it now or lose out proposition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733748 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:52:08 +0000 Angie 733748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please don't sit on those hands on my account. I want you to get the skirt! I just wondered whether I missed something along the way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733731 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:36:35 +0000 Mo 733731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, you got me Angie! Yes, and well, yes. I suppose I could put this off for 2 or 3 months, but there is that nagging worry that stuff gets sold out. I really am looking for a skirt that is not so summery (like all my cotton cargo ones) for boots and sweaters and long sleeved tops this winter. I want it to be more than just a basic black or grey skirt. I want some pizzazz lol. I will patiently sit on my hands for now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733723 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:29:10 +0000 Angie 733723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the longer skirt by about a billion percent. </p> <p>Malina, will the skirt suit your lifestyle and aren't you supposed to be done with shopping until you move back to Tahoe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733722 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:28:53 +0000 Mo 733722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, you seem to be the only one who thinks so! Being as I have only one pair of pumps in my whole closet (and have not yet worn them!) you are right that the 'office look' is so not me. Maybe I should take my audience into consideration before posing these questions - those darn style filters everyone has lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733716 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:21:56 +0000 Debbie 733716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1. It would be a great piece for any occaision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733713 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:18:32 +0000 rachylou 733713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you don't work in an office... I'd go for the leather </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classy-or-sassy-pencil-skirt-for-mo#post-733711 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:14:50 +0000 Mo 733711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Part of me would love to wear the leather and the other part wonders if people will think I'm looking tarty lol. Not that I'd pair it with a corset top or anything! More like a chunky sweater, tights and boots, or a drapey blouse.<br /> I might have to order both and do a try on to really know. </p>
