I spotted it on Angie's finds earlier and I can see it working with your new boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326358 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 18:46:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1326358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle - I can excuse one time for a poor shopping experience with an SA - everybody has a bad day here or there. But a few times? Nope.</p> <p>Dianthus - will definitely review the skirt once it arrives. Fingers crossed!</p> <p>BTW I forgot to mention that sticking with my "one-in-one-out" rule, if the graphic skirt works I will be removing one of my black pencil skirts from my closet. I currently have three of them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326332 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 18:11:29 +0000 Neel 1326332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!

I do NOT need someone being unpleasant or condescending to me while I am trying to spend my hard earned dollars! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326267 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 16:51:10 +0000 Thistle 1326267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful skirt!&nbsp; So glad you are trying it. I can totally see it working well in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326263 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 16:47:20 +0000 Anonymous 1326263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like that top too - good find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326230 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 15:44:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1326230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. I bought a wee late summer/early fall wardrobe refresh item yesterday when I returned the Olsen cardigan. </p> <p>It's a soft grey (almost silver) Calvin Klein dolman sleeve blouse<a href="http://www.thebay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/thebay/short-dolman-sleeve-blouse-0005-42tw137--24" rel="nofollow">http://www.thebay.com/webapp/w.....42tw137--2</a> . This type of shape works really well on my petite apple frame. It will work with pencil skirts and trousers alike. And despite the dolman sleeve shape, it actually layers under a jacket quite nicely. I would have worn it today actually but it was quite wrinkled and I didn't have it in me to iron last night.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326228 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 15:40:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1326228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie - you're such a sweetheart :)</p> <p>I think I might take a chance on this one. It just really appeals to me in so many ways. I'll order the larger size then and if it's a wee bit big, Wonder Woman can work her magic and make it fit. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: Skirt ordered!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326220 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 15:35:47 +0000 Angie 1326220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know the fabric of the lining&nbsp;unfortunately,&nbsp;and the skirt runs a little small.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326213 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 15:31:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1326213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - if you pop back into this thread at all, would you say the sizing on that skirt is TTS? And as to Lisa's question (which I'm also wondering about) do you know what type of lining it is?</p> <p>Lisa - like you, I'm wondering about the lining. If it is self fabric like the VC version, that isn't gonna cut it with tights. Mind you, I have a fantastic seamstress I work with (I call her Wonder Woman...literally) that could most likely attach a proper lining in a skirt if need be. I think that can be done, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326166 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:46:02 +0000 Anonymous 1326166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been eyeing and clicking on this skirt link too - quite like it. &nbsp;I think it would be a great part of your urban look with some black boots/Docs. &nbsp;I'm suspicious about the "fully lined" statement though. &nbsp;Lined with what , exactly? &nbsp;Could be a self lining like the VC tube skirt - which doesn't work..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326164 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:45:45 +0000 Suz 1326164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh. That would be terrific, Shannon. Love the idea.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326154 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:39:21 +0000 Angie 1326154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah yes. I couldn't remember whether the skirt was lined - but it's super cute on and good news about the lining. And yes - lining or a slip is essential when you wear hose.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-wardrobe-update#post-1326099 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 13:31:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1326099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Olsen Europe is turning out to be a bust for me - although I really like many of their fall pieces this year, the fit is off for petite me and when I returned the cardigan last night, had the same unfortunate snotty SA experience as I've had in the past. I'm done with them.</p> <p>The good news is I have my cash back in my Fashion Fund jar and even with the expense of my replacement Doc Martens boots, I have some left over. </p> <p>I am seriously looking at the polka dot Tildon tube skirt in Angie's finds. I adore the VC tube skirts but they don't work in winter. Once you add tights, they cling and stick in an unflattering and annoying fashion. I noticed in reading the details about the Tildon skirt, that it is fully lined. This would make it the perfect fall/winter tube skirt with tights - and maybe paired with the new Docs! Black and white features prominently in my wardrobe and this skirt has the potential to be a workhorse with tons of different stylings without having to buy anything to work with it. The price is good and even with Nordstrom's expensive shipping, would still fit within my budget.</p> <p>What do you think? Worth giving it a try? Can you see it working for me? </p>
