Needs to be deeper and wider for the most flattering look. I'd get rid of it unless you think you'll use it layered under a jacket and scarf combo and then the neckline doesn't matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-390817 Sun, 24 Jul 2011 12:09:28 +0000 Scarlet 390817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great skirt. I don't know if I would tuck with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-390810 Sun, 24 Jul 2011 08:49:30 +0000 Ornella 390810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've decided, the top goes. It's one of those "if you struggle too much to make it work, then it probably does not work"... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-390808 Sun, 24 Jul 2011 08:14:16 +0000 Lynne 390808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt! It's very dressy for denim so it will be really versatile, and the vertical stitching is really flattering. I can see it working well in Autumn with boots and jacket and a long pendant. FWIW, I'm ambivalent about the top....perhaps you could try it with pants? Or as a layering item? Best, Lynne xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-390784 Sun, 24 Jul 2011 04:59:46 +0000 Debora 390784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-390717 Sun, 24 Jul 2011 02:13:27 +0000 Anonymous 390717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great skirt. Try a graphic tee with a black boyfriend blazer, a Chanel type striped knit top, polkadots, a wrap top, a well fitted button-down shirt maybe out and belted if it isn't too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-390330 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 11:56:20 +0000 Deborah 390330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt. I think its a keeper. I struggle with what to wear with a denim skirt. I have a great one but never wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-389958 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:55:17 +0000 Freckles 389958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both items are gorgeous on you.

It's so cute! I have a skirt kind of like it, but mine is a pencil skirt, I wear it with a button up blouse and kitten heels, and to dress it down I wear a peasent blouse and gladiator sandals with a scarf. It can also be used in the winter with knee-highs or patterned/colored tights and boots! It's very verstile and so great. Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-389503 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 01:51:39 +0000 Jonesy 389503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the skirt on you!

I perosnally think it works beacuse it's a darker denim and has the detailing. I like Amy's suggestions above for styling it in the summer and your idea of boots and a turtleneck in winter is a good one.<br /> The top is a good basic but I agree that there is just something off about the neckline to my eye. I think the 'v' is a little shallow for you and you would suit a slightly deeper 'v'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-389320 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 22:25:21 +0000 Carole 389320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a keeper too. Lots of denim skirts in action around here (I think). But agree a different top would work better. I like the top, nice and basic just not with this skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-389316 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 22:20:58 +0000 amyreh 389316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this skirt definitely has some potential! I'd love to see a colorful blouse tucked in with wedges for the warmer weather and then love the idea of a turtleneck and boots when it cools off. I have a dark denim pencil skirt that I really like! I also like the neckline of this shirt, but if you haven't worn it in a year, maybe figure out why. I would see if you can pair it up with a few things, but if not, go ahead and get rid of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-389314 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 22:20:07 +0000 Charmian 389314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For what it's worth, I just wore my dark denim a-line skirt 2 days ago, so you aren't alone! On the other hand, I am sooooo early in my style journey that sometimes I don't even trust my own opinions. :(</p> <p>I love how your legs go on fooooooorrrrrreeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr in that skirt; I can see why it called out to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-389310 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 22:11:36 +0000 Di 389310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's a really attractive skirt, though I admit I'm no authority on what's in or out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-389300 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 21:59:31 +0000 bran888 389300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that skirt! Full disclosure: I happen to like denim skirts, and all things girly for that matter.</p> <p>I think that the dark denim makes it very versatile; it can go very casual to smart-casual. It looks like it fits you well too. That top seems like a good basic, but I'm not loving it with that skirt (or perhaps it's just not the most flattering style on you?)</p> <p>I'm thinking maybe an untucked top, loose fit with a skinny belt might work well. You'll have to experiment, but I say keep the skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-389298 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 21:55:56 +0000 Ornella 389298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Vildy.</p> <p>I only wore this top to show it off for decision about keeping it or not. This is not what I'd wear this skirt with </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-389291 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 21:50:41 +0000 Vildy 389291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stella McCartney made a fortune selling her version of her late mother's 70's<br /> button front denim skirt. I like the one you found loads better. In the picture,<br /> it looks graceful. It may just be the photo angle but I think someone could<br /> suggest a better top for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-keeper-or-not-plus-one-orphan#post-389280 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 21:44:50 +0000 Ornella 389280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stumbled across this dark denim skirt which was not something I was after *at all*, but I liked it a lot, it has nice contrasting stitching, lots of stretch, is very comfortable and looks quite good on. However, I dawned on me that hadn't seen many denim skirts around here and I'm wondering why. Is it too casual? Old fashioned?</p> <p>Also, I'm a bit stuck for ideas. I can see it with turtleneck, nice hose and boots... some scarf or necklace... and... anything else ? </p> <p>If you think it's a keeper, how abut throwing in some ideas ;)</p> <p>Also, this black top has been unworn for 12+ months and I'd like to know if it's worth returning to rotation. I am not sure about the neckline and what it makes to my shoulders appear like when I wear it? </p>
