Belting the red top that you mention is a good idea too. The skirt is a dramatic classic = ALWAYS in style.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898999 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 02:10:26 +0000 Dana 1898999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry I'm so late back to the party. I was out all afternoon and don't know my YLF password, lol! Thanks to all for such lovely comments!!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie&nbsp;</b>I was definitely thinking red. I have a red cardigan but am not sure if it's short enough. If not, I may be able to belt it to achieve the look. My heels are patent ankle straps--looking forward to wearing them. Any ideas of where to find cropped sweaters/tops that don't look like they're from the jr. department? I haven't seen many. Oh, the skirt is from White House Black Market. I was a tiny bit worried that the trend may be over, but I think WHBM is more on trend than that!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Smittie&nbsp;</b>I can't get on board with sneakers with dressier skirts/dresses either!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LisaP&nbsp;</b>You may be able to find pointy toe sling backs that are comfy. These are just extra pointy!! They've never been comfortable-even when I had them stretched. (Which is a shame b/c they're Donald Pliner, and isn't he a comfort line??)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Cardiff Girl&nbsp;</b>I'd kill for a wrap blouse (or 5)! Have you seen them anywhere? I've only seen a few with way too much sleeve detail to really work.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>efbgen&nbsp;</b>Yes! Pockets!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>UmmLila&nbsp;</b>That's hilarious--I agree. It's interesting how much more skirt there was to the larger size.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898993 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 01:18:28 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1898993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this skirt on you so. It’s definitely not too much muchness. Just right muchness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898981 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 23:48:11 +0000 Suz 1898981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this skirt! I want it too.

The skirt is gorgeous on you! I love the proportions and think you will find many ways to style it. Angie’s pics should be very helpful to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898959 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 22:20:24 +0000 Anonymous 1898959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely skirt (and that is coming from a person that doesn't do prints!) You are styling and wearing it beautifully. YAY!Is it my eyes or is pic #2 showing pocket??? If yes-double YAY!&nbsp; Great look for getting out of your box. Triple YAY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898956 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 22:12:59 +0000 Cardiff girl 1898956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice skirt,what a way to get out of a style rut!I m with Angie on the shorter top advice,I always think that with a very flared skirt you need to see the waist.A wrap blouse could be nice way to achieve this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898930 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 20:43:58 +0000 rachylou 1898930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898927 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 20:38:42 +0000 LaPed 1898927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

I like Angie's styling ideas and LOVE your kitten heel slingbacks here. I am dying for a &nbsp;pair, but fear my pointy-toe days may be over.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898919 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 19:34:49 +0000 Katerina 1898919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>STUNNING skirt! You look beautiful! I love the way you styled it, it’s just perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898913 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 19:16:40 +0000 Anonymous 1898913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great skirt! Not too much at all. I really like how you’ve styled it and actually think the sling backs are a really good option (it seems to me that a bit of a heel is a good thing).</p> <p>I see these skirts styled with sneakers but I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around those proportions, so prefer a delicate shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898910 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 19:08:25 +0000 Bonnie 1898910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lovely skirt and you wear it well.

Elegant, dramatic, classic and fun. I want it. Where is it from? GOOD job trying something new. You have a great figure, and I'd love you to bless it with me.&nbsp;</p> <p>You've styled the skirt beautifully. V-necks are great on you, and sling back pumps are having their fashion moment.&nbsp;</p> <p>Try a cropped pullover, a welted pullover, and ankle strap pumps perhaps. I've passed on all these items accept for the denim jacket in these pics, but you might find the proportions helpful. Pics are three and four years old.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-out-of-my-box#post-1898899 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 18:08:04 +0000 Dana 1898899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been feeling a shift in my style for a while now and despite having some great things, I've been feeling like I've been in a bit of a rut lately. Something that often stops me from buying things is that I'm super critical of my body and just need to get over it!&nbsp;</p> <p>So I bought this skirt! (I usually go for slimmer styles) I'd tried a similar style on during the holidays and just felt like it was too much skirt for me. This time I sized down, so there's a lot less fabric. It's pretty tight in the waist, but I survived fine and don't think I'll avoid reaching for it.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>I have great plans for the skirt, but am open to suggestions. </b>(Photos taken at the end of the day, so lipstick would definitely help! LOL!)&nbsp;<b></b></p> <p>&nbsp;I have some higher heels I can wear (on a day with less standing) and actually wore ballet flats most of the day. These sling backs rarely get worn...so narrow and pointy!!&nbsp;</p>
