Both renditions are winners. The '70s flair&nbsp;in #1 is great.</p> <p>(I'm honoured too, btw).&nbsp;</p> <p><b>You bit the bullet by wearing a denim skirt,</b> which has strong&nbsp;connotations in Israel. I am impressed. You look Retro Futuristic. (New term that was coined after the Prada show last week - and I LOVED that show).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452170 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 14:32:09 +0000 AM 1452170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the second with the straighter skirt. Love seeing that pop of blue under the&nbsp;sleeves pushed up. And I agree with Firecracker&nbsp;&nbsp;"flattering, with a slimmer silhouette". I feel like there is a bit more bulk in the first outfit but I love the shoe with that fun skirt. Perhaps I want to see a t-shirt with this? That really is a great skirt. Well done on both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452168 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 14:28:02 +0000 texstyle 1452168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you did a great job on both - but I have a slight preference for the rolled sleeve version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452133 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:30:00 +0000 approprio 1452133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great jacket.&nbsp;I tried the DD look myself a while ago&nbsp;with dark wash denim and I thought it worked quite well. So&nbsp;I love the column of dark blue grounded with the black shoes&nbsp;&nbsp;in the second (first?) look. Very sharp!</p> <p>I'm in two minds about the other&nbsp;one. Somehow I like the rear view better than the front.&nbsp;The sandals and the jacket both match the skirt, but I think I agree with Isabel that the overall effect is slightly unbalanced. Your idea of a sleeveless chambray blouse is excellent. I'd also&nbsp;try that skirt with boots or sneakers&nbsp;and a printed tee or breton shirt.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452125 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:18:04 +0000 Daria 1452125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia - I agree with others. New outfit is good, yet old is much better. Skirt, jacket, shoes - everything goes together really well and flatters you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452119 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:06:52 +0000 Jaime 1452119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b> I did wear the old outfit and don't remember being uncomfortable. The jacket has some stretch to it. The new outfit was more of an experiment - denim skirts are not normally something I wear but I thought it would be fun to try it in a way I had never seen. Not sure what the future of that outfit will be.<br /><b>Isabel</b>, interesting point about the sandals. It was hot when I tried the whole thing on - I wonder if it would look less confused if I rolled up the sleeves. Also the sleeves are too long, as usual, on the jacket.&nbsp;<br /><b>Sharan</b>, you may say so and thank you. I have to admit the lighting was quite flattering in that picture, I will leave it at that :-).<br /><b>Denise</b> and <b>Style Fan</b>&nbsp;I will try that. If I keep the denim skirt, I will probably pair it with sleeveless tops. Hmm, a sleeveless chambray top would be interesting.<br /><b>kkards </b>and <b>Ceit</b> thanks - the old outfit was an actual WIW, the new version more a work in progress.<br />Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452109 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 12:31:58 +0000 Anonymous 1452109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the old outfit best, but the new outfit skirt is lovely too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452095 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 11:46:15 +0000 kkards 1452095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love old outfit….and i think the scrunched sleeves look great. i like new outfit, but not as much as the old. i love the skirt, and i'm looking forward to seeing how else you style it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452086 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 11:21:48 +0000 Style Fan 1452086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all denim.&nbsp; My preference would be the second outfit because it seems to match and I tend not to match things.&nbsp; I agree with CocoLion&nbsp; about trying the A line skirt with a chambray shirt and seeing how that works.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452040 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 06:35:23 +0000 CocoLion 1452040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the old outfit best because the skirt fits you well and the jacket color matches with the skirt. &nbsp;The newer outfit's skirt looks a little bit or long, I can't quite tell, and it doesn't match as well. &nbsp;I'm feeling match-y today!</p> <p>Maybe if you wore the A line skirt with a chambray shirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452010 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 04:05:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1452010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both work nicely, to my eye, but I prefer the second (er, first?) with the straighter skirt and sleeves pushed up. I like the dressier feel of it, and I think it's perhaps more conventionally flattering, with a slimmer silhouette. The first skirt is super fun, with the A-line and raw-edged hem, and I love those shoes with it. Your legs look fantastic in both outfits, if I may say so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1452009 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 04:00:03 +0000 Anonymous 1452009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love Old outfit, nothing to change. While New outfit is mostly very good&nbsp;I feel like there's something that could be improved?<br />It might be as simple as because you are wearing more fabric, all denim, presumably with some weight to it, you look very covered and yet you're wearing nude sandals so there's a disconnect?<br />Maybe for me, New outfit looks more autumn and like it needs more shoe?<br />Did you post a photo of the outfit with the sleeves rolled up?<br />I do <i>not&nbsp;</i>see any problem with you wearing multiple pieces of denim at the same time, you look so sophisticated and "from now" that you look neither juvenile nor dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1451999 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 03:28:00 +0000 Suz 1451999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a brilliant idea to pair the double denim with that light blue bag. It's a gorgeous combination. Love it on you! And I think by wearing it this way you banish all those negative associations. Clearly an intentional outfit. I also love the other version. You can't go wrong!</p> <p>Was it comfy wearing the jacket done up? I have found that it works fine for me with mine, but then again, it is so beastly cold here that all I really know is that it keeps the draft out! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/double-denim-with-a-jeans-skirt#post-1451979 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 02:59:12 +0000 Jaime 1451979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few months back I actually anticipated this ensemble and tried it myself. When Angie posted her ensemble the first thing I thought was drat, I had rolled the sleeves! So I tried to recreate the look and promptly ignored all the advice except that!<br />Of note is the denim skirt. As Angie and perhaps a few others (Claire are you out there?) know, I don't wear denim skirts for reasons of&nbsp;association. This prejudice was challenged when an Etoile Isabel Marant denim skirt, looking suspiciously like the one Angie featured <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/09/08/denim-skirts-make-a-fashionable-comeback/">here</a>, literally fell into my hands at the thrift store.</p> <p>New outfit: aforementioned skirt, thrifted Guess jacket, old thrifted Dries Van Noten shoes (in honor of his fabulous show), thrifted light blue Furla bag (in honor of Angie's new bag)<br />Old outfit: same jacket, Dries Van Noten skirt (second hand), Tibi shoes (second hand)</p> <p>Which works? Neither? Would you wear two denim pieces together? All comments welcome!</p> <p> </p>
