The draped neck top is a gorgeous colour. Your skirt is a great length too.

It's kind of to the point where I don't buy anything full-price because I know there'll be some kind of big discount if I just wait a week or two. And, Gracie, if you do get the circle skirt, I definitely recommend it. But I think they run kind of short (mine are the regular, not the petite, and I wouldn't have wanted to go any shorter), so I'm not sure if it may make sense to get the Tall if they have it. (I think you're on the tall side, right?) And thanks so much, Beth Ann! I can get really frustrated at how hard it is to find clothes scaled for me, so that's so nice to hear.

They had ONE circle skirt in the store and it was larger than my size so I couldn't assess properly. I liked two other items but didn't buy them because they were Full Price. And, today? they have 50% off everything! But the store is another city, so I'll wait for the online sale.

I understand exactly what you mean about drape and flow helping tie together solid pieces!  I think the right balance of drape and flow is an important part of fit, also.  carambola on "Coral, blue, and white, my version" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-blue-and-white-my-version#post-1293095 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 14:22:28 +0000 carambola 1293095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lovely.

I'm generally taking outfit pictures, but don't get around to posting them, then I have such a huge backlog that it just gets overwhelming. Firecracker and Neel, I was all ready to buy a nice, soft, but kind of basic t-shirt in a pretty pale turquoise (you can kind of see it on the bench) because I thought it was less than $10. Then realized it was almost $30 and suddenly it didn't seem so appealing anymore. Ugh. (And I just realized auto-correct changed the word "drapiness" to "drippiness" in my last reply! Fixed it, but, seriously, autocorrect?)

Its such a pretty color! Love it. And your outfit is fantastic as well. Great proportions and love your shoes too. That boutique story annoys me so much. Why do they do this?

The skirt is just right--great find. The bag is a lovely addition, both style and color-wise. And your phone adds another shade of blue to the mix--fun! I laughed at your boutique tale--that would be me, too!

I'm not sure whether the connection with drapiness making it easier to wear solids or high contrast is an actual thing or just in my head…. Gigi, your Anthro tops definitely seem like they'd have that covered when they get here! Gigi on "Coral, blue, and white, my version" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-blue-and-white-my-version#post-1292888 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 02:35:56 +0000 Gigi 1292888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful top! I'm glad you've found a way to wear it. All this talk about solids is making my head spin... I have on all solids today too, but I own nothing drapey to see how that would affect the ensemble. I'll have to experiment when I get my drapey-top Anthro load! abc on "Coral, blue, and white, my version" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-blue-and-white-my-version#post-1292843 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:53:25 +0000 abc 1292843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love seeing lighter, brighter colors on you!  This looks really nice.  I hear you on the contrast / draping stuff...trying to figure it all out myself...

And it looks fab with your navy skirt.  Anonymous on "Coral, blue, and white, my version" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-blue-and-white-my-version#post-1292793 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:01:11 +0000 Anonymous 1292793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I haven't posted a WIW in ages, but thought I'd post the coral/blue/white combo that I managed today. Turns out this coral top I've had for a year or two but don't wear much for no real reason goes very nicely with this navy skirt I just bought. I also like how my bag adds another shade of blue. Photo location courtesy of neighborhood boutique where I thought a bunch of stuff was on sale for 70% off the already marked-down price, then rapidly lost interest once it turned out that the mark-down was the actual sale price. I got this skirt in both this color and a dark purple because I wanted a few more versatile solid skirts that weren't black to give myself more remixing options. So far they seem to be working well. Nice thick knit and full enough to be swingy and breezy, but not so much that they're overwhelming. And, like I was saying on Claire's thread, I wonder whether I especially rely on draping and flowiness to balance the potential blockiness and add interest when I'm wearing an entirely solid outfit. Here, the top has a drapy cowl neckline, the cardigan is long and drapy, and the skirt is a knit with lots of movement.
