Flowy and pretty. And you look great in the denim too. Fun with the sneakers in both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2036534 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 15:59:17 +0000 Becky 2036534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your skirt outfits look wonderful.

These are both great outfits, I am particularly taken with the blue skirt. I am looking forward to your posts of dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035462 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 13:51:23 +0000 BlueJay 2035462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>ChristeIJ, shevia, suntiger, RainB</b> very sweet of you to say. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I know <b>Suz</b> and <b>Jules</b>, it is weird about denim skirts and Toronto. huh?!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Mainelad</b>y thank you very much.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you, <b>Angie</b>. Yes, I know a good seamstress who has taken in the gap at the back of a few pants. Sometimes I don't buy them on principle, though. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>suntiger</b>, no I didn't buy the top. I do have a short-sleeved nautical blue, white (and green!) striped t-shirt that actually (surprisingly) goes with it. I am hoping the weather warms up so I can wear (and post) it.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>kkards</b> and <b>shevia</b>, yes, it seems like short denim lends itself to be more versatile, the midi length can be a bit tricky not to look dowdy or too retro. I haven't found any other midi denim skirts posts in the forum!<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035407 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 10:49:02 +0000 kkards 2035407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this almost makes me want a denim pencil skirt!

I think denim skirts have all sorts of associations that make people hesitate. I also have my denim skirt issues, but your outfit makes me what to break out of that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035278 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 00:44:14 +0000 Anonymous 2035278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Mango skirt especially! Do you have the top that goes with it too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035240 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 22:49:18 +0000 Angie 2035240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous all round. The pleated skirt could hang on a wall, it’s that yummy. Serenely vivid. </p> <p>The denim skirt outfit is KILLER. Sneaks work well with both looks. Very nicely done, and lovely to see you post. </p> <p>The back waist gap is an extremely easy alteration to fix, btw. With the high rise trend, I’m doing that more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035238 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 22:38:34 +0000 Jules 2035238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How odd about Toronto and denim skirts! Although I guess it’s true I don’t see them around much on people. But I tried on two shorter ones at Joe Fresh the other day, cute but bit more tapered than I’d want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035232 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 22:18:23 +0000 Mainelady 2035232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great skirts. I like them paired with your sneakers, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035230 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 22:00:43 +0000 Suz 2035230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Torontonians don't buy denim skirts. WEIRD.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the denim skirt. The shape is great on you. That Mango skirt also looks lovely on you. Of course, as one of the forum's reigning Queen Blues, I may be just a bit biased. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035229 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 21:49:19 +0000 ChristelJ 2035229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both great outfits; I can see why you are a dress person, they love you! I've never seen a denim skirt that length but I think it's very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035174 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 18:49:32 +0000 BlueJay 2035174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks Jules! Yes, Tristan has some good stuff sometimes. I saw the denim skirt online and had to order it from Montreal and ship it to Shops at Don Mills. The lady there said for some reason Toronto stores don't get denim skirts because Torontonians don't buy them. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Cardiff girl! Yes, the colours are so versatile for the Mango skirt.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035160 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 17:54:30 +0000 Cardiff girl 2035160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 smashing outfit on you,lovely colours and great silhouette.l like outfit 2 as well for it’s more casual vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035152 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 17:41:11 +0000 Jules 2035152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sneakers and denim midi pencil skirt together! Interesting to see that it's from Tristan, I was a huge fan when I was younger because they cut well for my shape. I wish they were still in the Eaton Centre as now I only get there rarely.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-denim#post-2035143 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 17:25:30 +0000 BlueJay 2035143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>The two outfits posted aren't dresses, although I have lots of dresses (more to come!). I wear skirts and dresses all year round. I play tennis and I even enjoy wearing short tennis skirts to shorts when on the court. My friends in elementary school used to make fun of me if they saw me in jeans because they didn't think I owned any! (I do.) I think I prefer dresses or skirts to pants or jeans for a few reasons: <br /></div><div>-they make me feel dressy;</div><div>-they make me feel feminine;</div><div>-in winter, I like wearing something different than pants;<br /></div><div>-I work in an office (although we can wear virtually anything we'd like, there isn't much of a dress code);</div><div>-I find pants hard to fit (especially finding the "sweet spot" between fitting my thighs and not having a gap in the back of the pants);</div><div>-in the world of ordering online, dresses and skirts are so-o-o easy to find and fit (and ultimately keep); and<br /></div><div>-dresses and skirts are cooler when it's hot outside.</div><div><br /></div><div>All dresses and skirts are great. I prefer midi, or knee length. I really love colour and pattern! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The first two pictures are the Mango pleated skirt (which looks more flowy than pleated); Mexx t-shirt (old); Jessica Simpson cropped denim jacket (old); Keds shoes (last year).</div><div><br /></div><div>Pictures #3 and #4: today's outfit (all old): Jessica sweater (Sears!); denim skirt (Tristan) (last year); Wilson tennis shoes.<br /></div> </p>
