What are the second pants in the second photo? That's some fab slouch. And are you rocking the BFs and the stripes or what? I like the flared skirt too - it still has a bit of a tomboy vibe with those boots, which is inspiring. You are an inspiration to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875633 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:32:33 +0000 Anonymous 875633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the second one of 2 and the first one of 3 in particular, but they all look so great! You've given me some ideas for a flared skirt too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875629 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:29:02 +0000 Tina.b 875629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly you have such amazing style, I'm so inspired by these looks. You make me want to wear stripes more often, and I'm not a fan of stripes on myself at all. But you make me think I should try. That striped outfit in #3 is so brilliant. That shirt is fabulous and paired with the BFs and the laced boots, it is perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875623 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:24:40 +0000 Angie 875623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm chuffed you actioned suggestions from that post. It made my day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875609 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:15:04 +0000 kellygirl 875609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! I felt very hip yesterday. I honestly don't think I would have ever come up with this pairing if not for your post. I've only worn it tucked with a sleeveless top in summer. Thanks for the inspirational blog post! You are such a great teacher! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875602 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:11:06 +0000 Angie 875602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have KILLER style. End of story :)</p> <p>The way you wore the relaxed top over the flared skirt is sooooo directional. Well done! I LOVE it. Refreshing and fashion forward. </p> <p>Davey does look gorgeous in green - just like his Mama! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875589 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:53:46 +0000 kellygirl 875589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the helpful comments! I really appreciate it.<br /> @Deborah: Thank you. I think you are right about the skirt--combination of length and fabrication. I’m glad it passes muster though because I still like it. I’m trying to get some of my underutilized boots into rotation before it warms up too much--that’s the problem when you have “too many” boots (did I just say that?)<br /> @jayne, bj1111, Mona, shevia, CF, Beth Ann and 4babiesMe: Thanks! I am glad the stripes aren’t reading as the same. I think that’s my favorite way of adding interest to a very plain outfit. I like the simple lines.<br /> @Agnes: Thank you. LOL! I guess that’s why I call it my uniform. I try to mix it up but I always fall back to what is comfortable. Now that it is warming up, I hope to have better luck changing it up.<br /> @Denise: Thanks! I really love those Kut BF jeans. I like my SBF but something about the fit of the Kuts is just so flattering.<br /> @Molly: Thank you. I’m definitely on Team Low Contrast and Neutral. I think I have a few brighter colors but they seem to only come out in summer. I’m going to work on color this week--maybe even for today :)<br /> @chouette: Lol! I know, what a contrast between your WIW and mine! I loved how you used color and was totally inspired. Mine are so neutral! Thank you for your nice comments!<br /> @Raisin: Thank you. I didn’t think I had any rocker in me. I’m kind of excited now. I must think about that.<br /> @Ornelia: Thanks! So interesting, I think you just pointed out what bothered me about the bootcuts. I am drawn toward a masculine style but I think this looked too much so to me. I think it’s the boxy jacket that put it over the edge for me.<br /> @Shannon: Thank you! Davey is waving back:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875556 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:18:10 +0000 4babiesMe 875556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really hard to pick a favorite because they are all great outfits! I really like the stripes in #3 and the last one in #5. (I guess I'm partial to stripes myself). The one with the cropped denim vest is great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875551 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:10:14 +0000 Beth Ann 875551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The flared skirt in #1 is fab! You've styled it in a strong, modern way with those terrific spring boots! The dark bf's are clearly delivering for you, too!</p> <p>As for stripes? You collection has lots of variety in silhouettes, width, color and contrast. No worries! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875550 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:10:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 875550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfits in #3 and #5 are just stellar Kelly and don't you even think about laying off the stripes - they look fab on you!</p> <p>My kitty is waving hello to Davey, who does indeed look fantastic in green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875543 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:58:31 +0000 cinnamon fern 875543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these - you have such a great, consistent casual style. Don't worry about all the stripes! They work great for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875446 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:25:43 +0000 Ornella 875446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Guess what, I LOVE your stripes. Sorry for overexcitement, but that's how it is.</p> <p>Your B&amp;W striped top is gorgeous on you, as is the whole outfit... as is this whole series.</p> <p>The green top with the skirt and boots, so playful and fun. </p> <p>I see nothing wrong with bootcut/jacket combo, with that belt buckle nicely showing it has masculine vibe which I actually really like. The neckline of the black top is very feminine though, as is your pretty face, so this whole things works to my eye.</p> <p>Davey is too cute.</p> <p>As a long-term fan of your style all I can say "more please". Stripes included. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875443 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:23:49 +0000 Raisin 875443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy smokes, all such fab looks! I can't decide on a favorite. You look very rocker chic in many of them. They're ALL SO GREAT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875439 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:14:45 +0000 chouette22 875439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know why I always end up with so much color when I love your muted wardrobe so much! You look so, so good! And of course you can wear #1, lady with THE best legs. I always love your WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875438 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:13:01 +0000 Jaime 875438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks really good here! I love the jeans outfits in #3 in particular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875399 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 10:35:39 +0000 Thistle 875399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love your lap warmer! So cute and cuddly, and he looks terrific in green. But then, kitties know these things I think!</p> <p>I really like the flared skirt, and it seems to be exactly on trend with Angie's post the way you styled it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875398 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 10:33:45 +0000 Mona 875398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not an expert on skirts but I think the proportions look fine in #1 and you look gorgeous in mint sweater. You have a great collection of stripes and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875396 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 10:32:13 +0000 bj1111 875396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love it when your lighter layers vome out to play. hard to pick a best look...they are all fab. the proportions are so right on in every single look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875384 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 10:05:29 +0000 Molly L-R 875384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kelly, your looks are all really good, but they all seem to follow the same colour palette of neutrals, dark denim and dark blue. Your skin tone is warm and personally I think you'd look good in a top in salmon, coral or peach. Just my two cents! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875374 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 08:48:31 +0000 CocoLion 875374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of the outfits you're showing in picture 3 are my favorite of yours, EVER. You look so cool in boyfriend jeans rolled or unrolled. Really flattering too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875333 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 06:35:22 +0000 Agnes 875333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all the looks are really good. The only thing is after seeing you in all these looks Is that they all have a similar silhouette.It would be great to see you in something fitted or flowy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875324 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 06:09:01 +0000 jayne 875324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all your looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875303 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 05:19:42 +0000 Deborah 875303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly you look lovely in stripes, not need to limit their wear:) You also have a formidable boot collection. #1 is super cute. On some women I find this look a little juvenile but you have nailed it, I think because your proportions are spot on and you have kept to block colours. As always you just exude natural style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flared-skirt-and-recent-wiws#post-875299 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 04:57:26 +0000 kellygirl 875299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A beautiful day and Angie's blog post inspired me to break out a skirt. Swapped the flats for boots because it's still a little cool for bare legs. I think the proportions still work--I'm sure I can rely on you to let me know if I'm off base You won't hurt my feelings.</p> <p>Recent WIW's too--nothing new, just fewer layers because of the warmer weather. Not happy with the jacket and the bootcuts. I think the length of the jacket is awkward--most of mine were too short or too long. I felt stumpified but I just rolled with it. A blazer would have worked but wasn't the right vibe for the event. Oh well. Win some and lose some. Gratuitous cat shot because Davey looks SO good in green! He's my lap warmer. </p> <p>As always, honesty is appreciated. Thank you for looking!</p> <p>ETA: Whoa, I need to lay off the stripes. I had no idea that I wore them that much! </p>
