If that's the case, try booties or pumps instead. If you DO have a 70s streak to your style, I think your styling works quite nicely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experimenting-with-flared-skirt#post-879211 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 22:22:20 +0000 Krista 879211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with all of the others - these skirts look fine in length and overall styling to me, too!</p> <p>One thing you could try with the flared skirt is a close-fitting black t-shirt and a cropped denim jacket with some flats. That's just a suggestion, though, otherwise YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experimenting-with-flared-skirt#post-879068 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 18:28:10 +0000 rachylou 879068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This flared skirt combo totally works for me (the pencil outfit too ;&gt;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experimenting-with-flared-skirt#post-878944 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:20:52 +0000 Beth Ann 878944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the length and the silhouette on you! I'd vote, too, for lighter footwear, even a black bootie would work here, or a wedge or simple pump in black or a neutral. I think the flared skirt flatters you as much as the pencil, and the length is spot on. I think you've just mastered the styling of the pencil, and you're still learning how to style the flare. </p> <p>I never stopped wearing flared skirts, because they suited my shape and are so cool in the summer. I am resolved to avoid the too sweet and girl look I sometimes get with them, though! Your look here is quite feminine, but grown up. Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experimenting-with-flared-skirt#post-878814 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:53:46 +0000 Karie 878814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the flared skirt a lot. May I make a suggestion? Try it without the boots, maybe with nude hose and pumps or booties instead. I think showing a little leg would take away the frumpiness vibe and make it look more current - you paired it with denim, and that's very current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experimenting-with-flared-skirt#post-878780 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:50:12 +0000 Kalli 878780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good, seems to have captured what I read! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experimenting-with-flared-skirt#post-878775 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:33:37 +0000 Anonymous 878775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look good to my eye too. It's just a matter of taste and what occasion you are dressing for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experimenting-with-flared-skirt#post-878737 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 09:23:30 +0000 rute 878737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt! So flattering on you! I don't think it's too long, the fabric is soft at the bottom and so I find the lenght lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experimenting-with-flared-skirt#post-878718 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 08:10:24 +0000 lyn67 878718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF, I see a beautiful siluette here, with the flared skirt and tuck in, but also like the pencil very much on you. It probably depends on the occasion and mood I think...<br /> Same problem here! I almost live in skirts and dresses nowadays but not really use flared cuts anymore for work except a few for summer big heat. I am an 45, and an hourglass with apple tendencies, so that may worsen the flare/short top/-tuck in problem, and limiting my choices perhaps-but it's also the girly effect of the flares-which hold me back on using them on more than a few occasions.<br /> I will follow this thread for some great suggestions. Tanx for the thread!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experimenting-with-flared-skirt#post-878696 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 06:12:10 +0000 An 878696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Confession - I am yet to read Angie's blog on flattering skirt proportions properly so that might make a difference to this post!!</p> <p>I've realised I don't really have many flared skirts in my wardrobe even though I wear skirts a lot and I am a pear shape so in theory they should probably be my best option.</p> <p>Here I'm trying one of the few flared skirts I have with a tucked in shirt as per Angie's recommendations for tops to wear with flared skirts. I'm thinking it is probably too long and therefore a bit frumpy. Thoughts? Also, I've added a pencil skirt which is more my style. Do you think the pencil skirt is more flattering? Am I right to prefer pencil skirts or is it just that I don't have the right flared skirts? </p>
