The white button-down is looser ( I only wish I had your bombshell figure!) and so that seems more crisp and modern to me. </p> <p>I definitely think you will find a lot of good ways to style this--the neutral colors are just hugely versatile and let you go dark vs. light for different looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-801207 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:42:16 +0000 annagybe 801207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the inspiration picture I was looking for earlier but couldn't find</p> <p><a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-W2012-s/317511/826687/TURTLE%20NECK%20KNITTED%20SWEATER" rel="nofollow">http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs.....%20SWEATER</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-801204 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:40:34 +0000 Vicki 801204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your astute observations and while I knew something wasn't working, I figured your suggestions would be the ticket.

I have a short plaid Gap skirt that is too young but I love it too much to part with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-801114 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:07:42 +0000 Anonymous 801114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They do all work, to me.<br /> My favorite is #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-801112 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:59:32 +0000 unfrumped 801112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the skirt is fine and love the colors. I would definitely aim for a much less fitted look on top but still in a grownup fabric and cut. I think that is the more modern look and also in the vein of Angie's post on de-bombshelling a pencil skirt, which is in common with this shorter- than- classic skirt. I'm not sure I would wear the actual tops you've shown, for those reasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-801088 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 11:08:16 +0000 lyn67 801088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L:O:V:E: that skirt!!! and OMG all your looks here are sooo polished!!!! I agree GAP sweatter will be fun to it, too! YLF2F as allways, Vicki!:-) esp love nr. 4!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-801084 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:48:24 +0000 CocoLion 801084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1-2 and 5 for a fashionista take. Anna is a genius for suggesting a boxier sweater or top, for another way to style the skirt. It looks expensive on you.</p> <p>You cut your hair! It's very pretty, and I like the color. Also, your skin looks amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-801064 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 06:51:58 +0000 Asingh 801064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, I love that skirt on you. You look great in outfit no.1(2) and 3. I even like how you've styled the skirt in outfit 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-801016 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 04:29:22 +0000 Amy 801016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the ways you styled it here and would love to see it with the big sweater as Anna suggested. Cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-800930 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 02:53:27 +0000 RunnerChick 800930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! My favorite is pairing with the white Nexx Shirt because, like Day Vies, I have a sugar eye for this combo. I might try and copy with one of my skirts, but none have quite the sass that you pack with this one. Adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-800919 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 02:45:52 +0000 Day Vies 800919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are having way too much fun! I love the skirt. If this skirt is "young" it's not too young for you. I would never have guessed it came from F21. (You go!!)</p> <p>Outfit #1 -- I love it I don't think you need the necklace but that is my preference. It is very pulled together and looks effortless.</p> <p>#2 - Nothing is better than a classic clean white shirt with a not so straight-laced piece like your skirt. I would SO copy this outfit (missing skirt prevents immediate copying) </p> <p>I love #3 it ups the ante in a very sophisticated way. I love the pattern and texture mixing. </p> <p>#4 I understand the color theory and patter mixing I don't like it as much as the others because I don't think the leather top adds anything. I would love to see the outfit with out it. </p> <p>Excellent job! I love how you've styled this skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-800904 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 02:35:04 +0000 Suz 800904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, this is super fun. I like 1-4 a lot and agree with Anna that the oversized pullover will be another stellar option. I agree with Firecracker maybe leave either belt or necklace off #1/2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-800860 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 02:00:42 +0000 catgirl 800860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>F21 has some treasures in among the trash for sure. This is a great skirt on you! I like Anna's suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-800856 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 01:54:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 800856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like photos 1 through 4 the best. They go from class to sass, really nicely. I might suggest trying the belt OR the necklace in looks 1 &amp; 2, and see what you think.<br /> The last look seems a little confused to me--party on the top and business on the bottom. Maybe with a funkier or dressier boot or shoe I'd like it better.</p> <p>I wouldn't guess the skirt was F21, the way you've styled it. Looks totally upscale on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-800841 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 01:27:02 +0000 lyn* 800841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is my favorite look! Who'd have thought you could dress up a F21 skirt? :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-800832 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 01:17:05 +0000 Kat 800832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think you look terrific in all of these, and especially love the two with the leather vest, though I think the boxier top will be another stellar addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-800763 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 23:33:03 +0000 Karie 800763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #2, and I think #3 would look great if you added a black scarf or chunky black necklace. The Gap sweater would look great too!<br /> I just posted a WIW of a plaid skirt I wore - I like yours so much better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-a-way-to-dress-this-youngish-f21-skirt#post-800750 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 23:17:35 +0000 Vicki 800750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, Anna! You're right and I'd thought about that when I bought this and it completely slipped my mind!

I liked the pattern of this rather-short and young-looking skirt, so I've been playing around with a few tops to give it a proper, mature look. Any thoughts on what works and what doesn't? There's a pleather waistband to it, but it looks a bit too juvenile when I've "tucked."</p> <p>Marley was boarding a plane and likes the skirt, yet it's not getting much love at home. But, I have a way of tuning out when need be. :)</p> <p>I'd love your opinion and suggestions. It's very inexpensive and won't go back, simply because F21's return policies are time-sensitive.
