Can we see a picture? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble/page/2#post-503396 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 02:40:56 +0000 Katja 503396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by you, I wore my mauve Halogen pencil skirt today, with a thin snakeskin belt that I left just loose enough to ride about an inch below the skirt's waistband. I felt very chic :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble/page/2#post-502204 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:00:11 +0000 Amy 502204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! As always, you've been incredibly helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble/page/2#post-501694 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:45:38 +0000 catgirl 501694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, that is Trouble City! You look spectacular in citron! I don't think I've seen you in this color before, but it is a perfect color for you. And if you can make the skirt work, it looks like a keeper to me too. I think you'll put it to good use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble/page/2#post-501665 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:10:13 +0000 Jjsloane 501665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The citron is beautiful and will work with all your neutrals (and white in the summer!!) I love the skirt as well and with MaryK's primer (and others on the forum) you can wear it 100s of ways. I've belted mine once but it was a wider belt and I tried taping, but it still squirmed around throughout the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble/page/2#post-501656 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:00:32 +0000 Vicki 501656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I love both blouses on you, with the citron edging out the other a bit. The yellow has a wonderful brightening effect on your pretty face and yet there's a softness with the pink/lavender one, too.</p> <p>As for the belt, I have black and yellow Halogen skirts and while I wish I could add a belt, it just didn't seem to work with a blouse tucked in. I did wear a black stretch belt with my black one and it worked fairly well, but it wasn't perfect and I kept feeling behind me to see if it had lifted up. So, next time I'd probably go without a belt, unless the shirt was out. I think your new magenta piece will look outstanding with your skirt. You do work in a tempting environment, so just peek a little as you walk quickly by! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble/page/2#post-501626 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:18:51 +0000 Isabel 501626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's get it out of the way : you look fab.u.lous ! I live vicariously through others who wear yellow well.</p> <p>ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME ????? I wouldn't last for a second in that environment. Keep your head down. Don't ever ever look up....I am having a hot flash </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble/page/2#post-501624 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:15:38 +0000 Angie 501624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the grey skirt. KILLER perfect and great for Spring. </p> <p>Amazing citron blouse, Amy! Did you try a size down? I can't help but think that you may need to size down.</p> <p>Shopping in very pretty downtown Seattle is good therapy. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble/page/2#post-501623 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:12:55 +0000 Amy 501623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!</p> <p>Suz, you're right. The skirt will probably look fantastic with animal print. I need to get started on my leopard print blouse that I cut out last weekend </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble/page/2#post-501554 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:13:25 +0000 Lisa 501554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That citron blouse on you is super fab! Love it! And the skirt is lovely too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501544 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:00:51 +0000 Suz 501544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, it's already been said but you look stunning in that citron blouse! And I love the Halogen skirt, too. It will definitely work with magenta. What you said about its being a warmer grey made sense to me; that's how it looks in your pics, although in MaryK's it looks a bit cooler or bluer (at least on my monitor). It's amazing how different greys can be and how sometimes they fail to harmonize. But this skirt will work brilliantly with other neutrals, including...wait for it....ANIMAL PRINT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501535 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:49:10 +0000 modgrl 501535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic skirt! It looks like it was made for you. If you wear a normal, not petite size, you are going to have a lot of options for colors. I love my halogen seamed skirts. The colors and runs in petites are very limited so I have to jump on them when they become available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501525 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:14:52 +0000 kimlee 501525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy - I love the skirt and the citron blouse. You look amazing in these pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501520 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:51:50 +0000 missvee 501520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's going to be a fab outfit for you, especially with the citron blouse. I like the warm grey colour as you can pair it up with chestnut or cognac accessories too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501505 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:27:17 +0000 nancylee 501505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, that citron blouse is amazing on you....not all of us can wear that color! Can't help much with the belting issue (as a nonbelter myself), but you do look fab with the belt and blouse tucked in. Photos #5-6 are amazing. :)</p> <p>Sounds like your office is PERFECTLY located. heheh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501499 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:10:26 +0000 Scarlet 501499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5/6 is gorgeous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501443 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 06:34:27 +0000 rae 501443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AAAAAH, look at that citron blouse on you!! Super gorgeous. And the warm gray actually looks very pretty with the warm tones in your hair. I agree with Anna that it looks better with the citron than pink - mebbe this is a skirt for brights rather than soft colors. </p> <p>As for the belt, I either only belt over an untucked top or only belt when there are belt loops. Angie's eye for filled belt loops works both ways for me... something about a belt on pants or skirts without loops looks off to me. Maybe this is just another poisoned eye I have, so feel free to ignore me.</p> <p>ETA: I work down the street from Anne Fontaine, GAP, Saks, Armani, Missoni, and so many other cool stores! I simply do. not. shop. on my lunch breaks as a rule. It helps that I am Team Online and like to launch a hefty comparison campaign before I settle on a purchase. But yeah, I just walk straight to my lunch destination and straight back to my desk, no browsing allowed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501383 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:05:22 +0000 cheryl 501383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That citron blouse was made for you and i think the skirt looks fantastic as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501382 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:04:29 +0000 Ana 501382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking about your temptation problem. You could leave your wallet locked up in your desk on your lunch break and go browse. That way if anything does catch your fancy, you'd have to put it on hold and go back and get it after work. I use this trick when I go to the mall, sometimes. The item is probably worth it if I'm willing to drive home and get my money and come back and get the item. ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501374 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:56:04 +0000 AJ 501374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Luv both items on you! Why not get the skirt in black as well! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501372 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:55:27 +0000 Anonymous 501372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, you look great in both items. The skirt looks like it almost leans toward a taupe. It would mix well with everything BUT the same tone of grey (but dark charcoal would look good with it, I bet). Did you try sizing down in the skirt? It might give you a bit more va-voom like Maryk has. Your complexion seems to come to life in the citron, lucky you! </p> <p>How cool that you work in the middle of shopping central. Just think of all the trying on you could do and the education you could get while working there! Just hold on to your wallet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501369 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:49:59 +0000 Parsley 501369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the citron blouse on you, Amy!<br /> And that skirt fits you perfectly. Definite keepers!<br /> Why not try a more substantial belt? That one just kind of disappears with that outfit. A wider belt, maybe in an accent color, would give the outfit a little more oomph. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501364 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:45:37 +0000 Sara L. 501364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both the skirt and the citron blouse. I also like how you've styled it with the skinny belt (good thing other people have some good suggestions for that problem). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501347 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:37:09 +0000 Deborah 501347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a keeper Amy:) I love it with the citron and I think the blouses look best tucked. The lavender/pink blouse is pretty but I think it is a little bland with the grey skirt. I think strong contrasting colors are going to look fabulous with the skirt. Do you need the belt?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501330 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:04:36 +0000 CocoLion 501330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Double Keep! Both items look fab on you, and I love the mix of grey with citron yellow. I think you will ge a lot of wear out of that grey skirt, it is a perfect neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501329 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:03:22 +0000 MNsara 501329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in that skirt and in the citron (AT, right?) and the crocheted belt loop idea is brilliant!</p> <p>I would think the slate skirt will end up quite versatile - citron, pink, navy, white, red, orange, etc. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-be-in-serious-trouble#post-501326 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:57:21 +0000 sarah 501326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, you look fab in that blouse. Wowza! And I am partial to the skirt, as I have it, too. I wear it a lot, with black/white/magenta/blue. I've actually found it to be quite versatile. </p>
