I did the same thing with my wedding dress - a deep orange lining underneath true red lace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2274257 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 18:51:07 +0000 Mary 2274257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thought so!. If you are ever in Victoria there are a whole bunch of great consignment stores with a few blocks of each other, including a Turnabouts. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2274235 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 16:42:57 +0000 Lana 2274235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see that skirt becoming one of those unexpected workhorses that goes with so much, can be dressed up or down. I think it would look great with denim or chambray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2274227 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 16:09:58 +0000 Suz 2274227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Mary,</b> it was indeed Turnabouts!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2274162 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 02:31:51 +0000 rachylou 2274162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2274161 Wed, 27 Jul 2022 02:08:05 +0000 Mary 2274161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous finds!<br />Was this Turnabouts?

I remember that NAS—I have the wrap dress on that same print and it’s still one of my closet favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2274051 Tue, 26 Jul 2022 14:58:33 +0000 Anonymous 2274051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great!

I could never figure out how to style it . The length was also an issue for me .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273971 Tue, 26 Jul 2022 01:26:04 +0000 Helena 2273971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely finds Suz! I think that's one of the skirts that will be "just the thing" for many occasions. And the sweater looks like it will be very versatile in your wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273918 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 19:10:43 +0000 Anonymous 2273918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so posh! &nbsp;And so does mini-Suz in pic 1, lol! &nbsp;Congratulations on finding some great pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273868 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 14:10:51 +0000 kellygirl 2273868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun finds!

You have exquisite taste, Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273853 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 12:56:47 +0000 Bijou 2273853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks beautiful on you and I like how the loafers work with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273843 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 12:31:52 +0000 RobinF 2273843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love lace as texture. I have a few tops that I wear casually which is easy, skirts might be a little bit harder but I bet it will get use, even if it's for nicer events. Great finds!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273827 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 11:12:52 +0000 Vildy 2273827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have this skirt - just wait -&nbsp; but I do have a gored lined skirt in similar heavy lace and use it for daily wear no problem - for the purpose of adding texture as you mentioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273822 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 09:40:32 +0000 lyn67 2273822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As others said so well is striking, and you can trust the 2xkillers from Angie as well, I myself would add edgy to the batch-to my eyes at least-and would do this outfit no brain!!!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273813 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 09:17:35 +0000 Jaime 2273813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you get two thumbs up from me! The sweater is a real no brainer - it looks just perfect on you. And the skirt I see in winter with darker hose or tights or summer as your mini, just as you said. Are the loafers still in the testing phase? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273810 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 07:38:36 +0000 Star (Lise) 2273810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fabulous pieces.&nbsp; Great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273795 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 04:16:08 +0000 MsMaven 2273795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Great luck and great find.&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought a lace skirt a couple of years ago thinking it would be useful, then came Covid. Mine is longer and sort of A-line. I like your version much better. I think it could be a classic that will serve you well for years.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the top: it's fabulous and looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273788 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 03:29:34 +0000 slim cat 2273788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like it was meant to be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273783 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 02:21:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2273783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are lovely pieces, and they look fantastic on you.

I think better than "on trend" but timeless!. Looks like it will fit seamlessly into your closet.<br /> Fun find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273771 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 01:29:07 +0000 Suz 2273771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. Great styling suggestions, <b>Carla</b> and <b>Angie</b>! I will certainly wear with my punk boots! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>Angie</b>, yes -- it's navy and navy -- a brighter navy for the underskirt and more like ink on the top. It might be one of those items that stays in my closet for many years and only gets worn occasionally but works really well when it comes out.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, you had this skirt? Hilarious. In navy? I'd have pegged you to go for black...</p> <p><b>Sarah</b>, you're right -- a subtle pattern mix right there. I'd probably never wear them together (unless styles change substantially or my life does!) but nice to know I could, and I will admit, trying them on together probably inclined me more to buy both, if you know what I am saying.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273770 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 01:19:17 +0000 Carla 2273770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those pieces! &nbsp;Wear the skirt with sneakers, a t-shirt, and your jean jacket, or even with a simple t-shirt tucked or knotted at the waist and flat sandals. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I’m finding more ‘fun’ and better quality at the second hand shops, than I’m finding ‘new’. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273768 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 01:10:50 +0000 SarahD8 2273768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, very nice! I like the two together— subtle pattern mixing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273767 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 01:01:07 +0000 Angie 2273767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER x2</p> <p>Welcome to Team Lace :)</p> <p>How fun! The skirt is navy lace, right? Not just navy lining. Perfect fits!&nbsp;</p> <p>You can wear volume on the bottom with the cardigan, and volume up top with the "mini" skirt. Absolutley dress both items up and down. The items look great together too. Score!&nbsp; </p> <p>Add your favourite red punk boots to either piece.....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273765 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 00:54:35 +0000 LJP 2273765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very striking ! I owned that skirt at one time ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273759 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 00:03:17 +0000 Sal 2273759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great wildcard additions.&nbsp; I like them both.</p> <p>I agree with wearing the skirt casually - fun with flat sandals or sneakers, and potentially with tights in winter too.&nbsp; And the cardigan is such a useful to piece to either have in the bag for cool nights or to wear buttoned as a top.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Love consignment shopping for these experiments - its a fun way to try pieces on the want list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-fun#post-2273757 Sun, 24 Jul 2022 23:50:03 +0000 merwoman 2273757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun pieces! Glad you took a close up of the beautiful lace work on the skirt. And the fit of both pieces is suberb!<br />Now what’s happening with those loafers…inquiring minds want to know! </p>
