And depending on which part looks dated, maybe you could later them a bit yourself or wear a shrug over the straps.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-casual-skirts-and-dresses#post-1187828 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 18:21:41 +0000 Mo 1187828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might want to do a photo line up of the items in question and do a K/P &nbsp;(keep or purge) thread. &nbsp;A lot of us have done so, especially when first getting started with getting the closet whipped into shape. &nbsp;It's so much easier to talk about specific items than vague descriptions of 'in' or 'out'. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-casual-skirts-and-dresses#post-1187813 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 18:07:46 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1187813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As far as skirts, the reign of the pencil skirt is waning and there are other options: flared, trumpet, longer full ones. I think maxi skirts and maxi dresses will still be around for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-casual-skirts-and-dresses#post-1187452 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 09:20:36 +0000 unfrumped 1187452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean! And with the long cold winter, I have not been reviewing my spring and summer items, so I'm not sure what ill find when I get them back in play. </p> <p>Ruffles and spaghetti straps do sound iffy, but posting a pic can help.<br /> The other thing that can help is browse some magazines and department store websites for summer dresses and see if you can discern a big difference from your items ( like when I was about a decade behind!) or if its just some minor tweaks or styling changes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-casual-skirts-and-dresses#post-1187326 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 05:08:35 +0000 rachylou 1187326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect the ruffle might be dating... I think minimalist silhouettes are probably the most au courant for dresses and skirts these days. Silky, flowy things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-casual-skirts-and-dresses#post-1187292 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 04:36:47 +0000 zippity 1187292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've started sorting through my summer wardrobe and I'm realizing that I have no idea whether many of my clothes are in style or look completely dated. Sometimes I feel like I've just gotten so used to my clothes that I've lost the ability to tell whether they are stylish or not - haha!</p> <p>I will probably have many more posts coming with questions about this, but my first question is about dresses and skirts. What is in style for casual/everyday skirts and dresses right now? What is NOT in style for for those (so that I know what to avoid or to give away)?</p> <p>I've got a few beachy type knit dresses from Ann Taylor Loft from a few years ago. They are above the knee and have spaghetti straps with a ruffle along the top. But I feel like they are either out of style or are just way too young of a look for me. But again, I really don't know. </p> <p>My style is very casual and comfortable, sometimes sporty, so if you have any suggestions for current dresses or skirts, I'd love some direction on this!</p> <p> </p>
