I had almost discarded that outfit as fail! Lol! I like being a bit unconventional :)</p> <p>Thank you for your thoughts suz, joy and sona </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108669 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 16:00:36 +0000 Angie 1108669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3 and #4. Those are 11 out of 10.&nbsp;</p> <p>But #1 is daringly fabulous and less conventional. My thumbs up for that rendition too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108664 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 15:53:37 +0000 Suz 1108664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #4. You look spectacular in that!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108655 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 15:38:01 +0000 Sona 1108655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>loving 3 and 4. Much prefer the <i>party&nbsp;mostly on the bottom only </i>so to speak with the pop of necklace on top than the previous versions. Well done.&nbsp; A party outfit with some understated tones&nbsp;is often sexier, chic-er and more pulled together than full on glam and glitter. Really well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108652 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 15:32:15 +0000 Anonymous 1108652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #4. The heeled oxfords help casualize the outfit. To my eye #1 doesn't work because of the high contrast of tights and footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108638 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 15:23:23 +0000 Neel 1108638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm ... That's a very interesting observation carambola. I wonder how the outfit would look with a white button down, nude hose and white pumps. It's an irony that I don't own any of that o_O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108632 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 15:17:44 +0000 carambola 1108632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 3 and 4! It's so interesting and instructive to see this set of pictures compared to the last set with the white tops. I love the opaque tights with heeled oxfords here with the long sleeved tops especially, whereas the sheer hose looked much better with the white, as in 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108620 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 15:06:38 +0000 Lisa 1108620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like #4, that's a really pretty skirt!&nbsp; And the bag is a great touch here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108595 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 14:43:37 +0000 Neel 1108595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you girls :). I like version 4 the best too. I am loving this exercise. I think I am starting to understand what looks good on me and what doesn't :). Compared to the white top I clearly see the darker tops working better with the skirt. Mainly because they do not highlight my short waist as much as a high contrast top does.</p> <p>High five Rae on the striped bag! I love yours a little more than mine though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108490 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 09:42:43 +0000 rae 1108490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 3-4, and I also love the clutch (team striped bag FTW!). The light colored oxfords look a little jarring and out of place to me. Maybe the summer factor Denise mentioned is it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108479 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 07:40:18 +0000 CocoLion 1108479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I really like 3, 4 and 5. &nbsp;As far as the casual version in 1 and 2, could you achieve the same thing with flat black shoes? &nbsp;The flat oxfords in 1 aren't in themselves shortening, but the high contrast footwear is shortening and it's throwing me more than I would like.</p> <p>The grey oxfords seem fairly summery to me, like I could see them worn with a pair of light denim shorts or a sun dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108476 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 07:36:04 +0000 RunswithDolphins 1108476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Version #4 is my absolute favourite.&nbsp; I really like the skirt with a darker long sleeved top and the oxford heels give you a longer look.&nbsp; The necklace adds a nice bit of sparkle to fill in the very flattering v-neckline. The dark jacket, either leather or cloth, also works well but if you think it's going to be warm with dancing you probably don't need it.&nbsp; If you feel the heels will hamper your dancing perhaps you could tuck a pair of black ballet slippers in your clutch for kicking up your heels as the dance floor steams up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt---take-2#post-1108458 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 06:33:13 +0000 Neel 1108458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had done a post on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-edition-flared-skirt">this skirt</a>&nbsp;earlier and never got around to post new outfits with the suggestions given by other fabbers. &nbsp;I like the look and coverage&nbsp;of the darker hose, so have decided to go with that. &nbsp;And since the polka dot shoes didn't get enough love I have left that out as well and went for simpler shoes this time. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have used a darker top and think it works better in not highlighting my very short waist. &nbsp;Also the party is now a house Christmas party. &nbsp;So I also wish my clothes to be a tad casual. &nbsp;What are your opinions?</p> <p>Pic 1 - With navy button down shirt, gray blazer and oxfords. &nbsp;This is&nbsp;my attempt at casualizing the outfit. &nbsp;There would be a lot of dancing involved and I would like to wear the most comfortable shoes and yet look dressed! &nbsp;I understand that the shoe choice is leg shortening but if that is the only compromise I would be fine with it. &nbsp;What other issues you see with this outfit?</p> <p>Pic 2 - Same outfit with heeled navy oxfords.</p> <p>Pic 3 - With black faux leather jacket. &nbsp;It might be too warm for this and I would end up removing the jacket anyway. &nbsp;I also could replace leather with regular black blazer.</p> <p>Pic 4 - Without a topper. &nbsp;I like this the&nbsp;best for comfort and movement! &nbsp;I can also semi tuck the button down which is much more flattering than other tops that cut me in half. &nbsp;I added a necklace to this outfit.</p> <p>Pic 5 - With a black embroidered top and necklace. &nbsp;The necklace doesn't throw out as well. &nbsp;And I think a sleeved top looks better with the short skirt.</p> <p>Pics 6/7 - From previous post for comparison.</p> <p>I forgot to add a clutch to my outfits but the clutch in the last pic is what I intend to carry. &nbsp;Thanks for looking and commenting as always. &nbsp;They mean a lot to me. </p>
