Beautiful as usual DV! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009337 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 02:19:04 +0000 Karie 1009337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with mishaps at the bank! I recently went across town to the after-hours ATM at my&nbsp;bank and while I had the check, I had no pen to sign it with! I went to the local gas station and begged a pen off the attendant, only to return to the bank and realize I had no deposit slips! ARGH!&nbsp;</p> <p>The skirt is very pretty, and I like the suggestions of mustard and ice blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009258 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 01:15:54 +0000 Day Vies 1009258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro - I like the idea of ice blue too! I'll have to play around with the proportions of my icy blue tops with this skirt. Thank you! </p> <p>Suz - I thought it was odd too that the top echos the skirt though not exactly. I haven't really deconstructed how or why. I'll&nbsp; just put it in the "texture" box to be analyzed at a later time I think <b>Beth Ann's explanation </b> is more than sufficient. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009229 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 00:19:14 +0000 Beth Ann 1009229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did extremely well, and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who does stuff like that!</p> <p>I like the idea of mustard as a topper, too.&nbsp; Good idea, Lynn!&nbsp; The top your wearing here works well partly because of the ornament at the neckline, which balances the detail in the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009217 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 23:47:32 +0000 Caro in Oz 1009217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the mustard idea - what about icy blue too? Not together though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009215 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 23:46:27 +0000 Suz 1009215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, how I hate that feeling. I have had this exact same experience more times than I can count.&nbsp;</p> <p>But you looked spectacular in your pretty summer skirt. I love how the pattern &nbsp;is echoed by the belt and (oddly) by the ruffles in the shirt. Brilliant, as usual!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009214 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 23:43:25 +0000 Sara L. 1009214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit! &nbsp;The belt looks great with the violet top. &nbsp;I think you did a good job with matching the top to the skirt in this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009182 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 22:50:45 +0000 Anonymous 1009182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think mustard would look great! You look lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009178 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 22:47:15 +0000 lyn* 1009178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>;) Well, you know me ....&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a love/hate affair with linen. Usually it edges towards hate because of the wrinkles, but I think it works in this skirt, because I'd imagine that the design (or the stitching that you mention) helps with that. Winkles sometimes will&nbsp;drive me crazy, except when they are on cute old people or pugs. Or cute old pugs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009174 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 22:39:15 +0000 Day Vies 1009174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn -- I <i>love</i> the mustard suggestion. I think I have just the sweater too. I can also try it with a crisp white shirt. THANK YOU! <br />The skirt is not heavy. It's lined but it's linen I think the stitching helps keep it from wrinkling and looking messy. I like the idea of pairing it with tights and boots for fall. You are helping me get more wear out of this skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009166 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 22:18:34 +0000 lyn* 1009166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, man, I hate cheques because I leave them all over the place too! Once I put it in a library book and returned it! Had to ask for a new cheque :p&nbsp;</p> <p>I really love this skirt/top (and fabulous belt) combo on you - it's so fun and cheerful, and I think that's the kind of person you are!</p> <p>I really like the textural component to this skirt, and is it a bit heavier? I can see it with the same belt, a crisp white shirt and tights with boots in the fall. Have you ever tried pairing it with mustard? Not the food product either ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>:D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-did-ok#post-1009158 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 22:02:41 +0000 Day Vies 1009158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today, well I wish I'd gotten more done. I went to the bank to make a deposit but left behind the very check I wished to deposit.&nbsp; It doesn't help that my bank is a small community bank situated across town from me. This mishap did not stop me from running the rest of my errands. I just find it inefficient (and maddening). I guess I have an excuse to get dolled up and try again tomorrow. </p> <p>I love this skirt but because of its texture (the pattern is stitched in) I usually draw a blank on coordinating colors. I think the pattern throws me off (I'm still trying to master patterns). I got this skirt about 6 years ago and for some reason I like it with purples plums, pinks and violets. For that reason I chose this origami tee in red-violet. I also wanted to play around with different textural elements in the skirt, the tee and the belt. I think I did OK.&nbsp; The whole outfit is from Kohl's with the exception of the belt and shoes which are from Target.&nbsp; Let me know what you think or if you have any better ideas for this skirt. </p>
