A bit conservative, but I feel that coming back in style... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2062175 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 01:41:34 +0000 cindysmith 2062175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's a fail. Maybe a cardigan would be more what you're looking for here? The jacket is really structured, and the skirt is more flowy, so maybe the softer lines of the cardigan would match the "feeling" of the skirt a bit more? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061352 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 14:33:50 +0000 Anonymous 2061352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the ideas have been put forth here already, and I agree with others in that it's not a fail, it's just too conservative for you. &nbsp;I'd wear a different jacket altogether - in a pattern or different colour, and boots for sure. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061341 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 12:45:23 +0000 Helena 2061341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree this was not a fail at all! You've got great suggestions here; my only added suggestion is a knit ... I've seen many of these skirts styled with more classic fine knits, as well as chunkier and oversized sweaters which looks a little more modern ... I pinned this the other day in case I find a way to justify a similar skirt!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/21110691991382229/">https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/21110691991382229/</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061324 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 10:00:50 +0000 lyn67 2061324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie is spot on!

Or a cutaway style jacket?

Ideally I was looking for an outfit I could wear to the Jewish holidays. Like the idea of pointy flats or sock boots will them a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061124 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 17:39:06 +0000 anchie 2061124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is not epic failure but if you don’t like it maybe you can try with the less contrast but fitted top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061119 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 17:31:39 +0000 Kathie 2061119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye the skirt in the fabric has a different vibe from the jacket. It’s drapier, and seems both more casual, but also more “party” than the jacket. And, since it falls back against your body, the flared aspect isn’t as pronounced. Could you do something like an asymmetrical knit? Or, I like any of the other suggestions. Both the jackets and the skirt are great, but I can see they might not work together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061109 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 17:11:42 +0000 kellygirl 2061109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t think it’s an epic failure at all. It skews more conservative than trendy but it looks good. I think it depends on what you’re going for. What about pointy toe flats, graphic tee with blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061108 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 17:05:35 +0000 karen13 2061108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that skirt, and think this looks classic and polished with the blazers, just not trendy. I’m curious to see what other suggest. I wonder what a longer topper would like? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061105 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 17:03:48 +0000 Carla 2061105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is the brief? Work, social, or other? For casual juxtapose the dressiness of the skirt with white sneakers and a white jean jacket. I like the longer length of the first jacket and wonder if a sock bootie might raise the style quotient? A white sweater top with a welted waist, and your (fabulous) white booties if you don’t require the formality of a jacket. Maybe your striped mariner top? I like the idea of more pattern.</p> <p>The skirt is beautiful, kkards. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061100 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 16:59:05 +0000 Cardiff girl 2061100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t actually think it is an epic fail but maybe like me you favour more conventional proportions .lf that is the case you need a more cropped upper half or something to tuck in.Have you got a shorter jacket or cardigan that would work?and you could try a wide belt as well to define your waist..If you want a less formal look,white sneakers could work with this skirt as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061097 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 16:58:01 +0000 NancyW 2061097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try the opposite? Soft or cropped like a cardigan or a cropped jacket or a large scarf tied into a poncho—ish top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helpepic-failflared-skirt-long-blazer#post-2061094 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 16:54:54 +0000 kkards 2061094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad I’m doing a test run. In my head this skirt and the long blazer worked perfectly like the examples in Angie’s post. But not so much in reality. Also tried the double breasted blazer, also not working. Ideas on what to wear with this skirt???? </p>
