I think you'd look amazing in a skirt like this and it would be very fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the example you showed because she has long wavy hair like yours. The contrast of wavy hair with bold stripe is fun and less expected, somehow.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005141 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 19:28:59 +0000 Mo 1005141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I think I'll make this a FL pursuit where I may be able to try some things on in person. &nbsp;Tex, I did eye both of these skirts but find them very ladylike. &nbsp;Not that I'm not ladylike, but I prefer more pizzazz if that makes sense.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/300872682942?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648">http://www.ebay.com/itm/300872.....1423.l2648</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zara-Basic-Medium-Khaki-Black-Wide-Stripe-Clubwear-Skirt-New-Without-Tags-/251306686654?pt=US_CSA_WC_Skirts&amp;hash=item3a830bb8be">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zara-B.....3a830bb8be</a><br />I guess that means I am kinda stuck on the black and white . . .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005126 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 19:15:36 +0000 rae 1005126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well like Rachy I see them as circus or Tim Burton stripes so I don't thinl they are only for the, preppy. And I think an a line in a softer, shorter incarnation might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005125 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 19:15:11 +0000 texstyle 1005125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd try a few of them on if possible and see how they look in person. You look great in the white skirt so if&nbsp; you can find a similar shape in stripes, maybe it would work. There are other stripes aside from black/white - or are you stuck on the black and white design? I ask because I think that a subtle color variation might be better for your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005117 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 19:01:50 +0000 CocoLion 1005117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not? &nbsp;Fantastic style on you, very flattering, and perfect year-round item for FL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005114 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:58:29 +0000 Anonymous 1005114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I steer away from stripes myself due to the association with preppy style, yet I somehow don't see that in the broad stripes and flare of that skirt. I does have a different vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005109 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:54:54 +0000 Day Vies 1005109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should try out&nbsp;stripes. The inherent hourglass shape in this profile (fitted top flowy skirt)&nbsp;is what I think attracts you to it and why you look good in it. </p> <p>I thought (3 or 4 years ago) that horizontal stripes looked juvenile on me but then I got over myself and tried a few things on and was shocked at the slimming effect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005108 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:54:25 +0000 jayne 1005108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>and those stripes do seem pretty preppy and classic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005105 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:53:56 +0000 jayne 1005105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I get you, I was totally obsessed with the verticle stripe jeans/slacks from spring....I cannot explain it, it drew me.&nbsp; I used the exercise of trying to envision 5 items I can use it with. And making 2-3 outfits and have places to wear them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005090 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:42:54 +0000 Mo 1005090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, I think you may be on to something. &nbsp;It's the wide stripe that is refreshing to my eye. &nbsp;Maybe I should be looking for a softer fabrication. &nbsp;Are stripes preppy by nature? &nbsp;Is that why I steer clear of them for the most part? &nbsp;Hmmm. &nbsp;I do have my jailbird stripe top that is fine, but certainly not a love. &nbsp;Let's put it this way, it's not getting packed for FL lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005085 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:38:08 +0000 rachylou 1005085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love <i>your </i>white skirt. You are just beautiful in it, Mo!</p> <p>The "circus stripe" is totally on-trend, IMO. Or a trend I'm zeroing in on, let's put it that way. I think of you as being on-trend, but not stiff. So a stripey skirt in a less tailored style would work, I think, if you wanted to do it. Which you may not; there's a certain preppiness about it which might give you feelings of ambivalence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/infatuation-with-stripe-skirt#post-1005077 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:30:09 +0000 Mo 1005077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really not 'my' style so I can't figure out why for the last month or two, I've been totally infatuated with the look. &nbsp;I've gotten rid of an aline skirt for what it does to my high hip and only have one that I like and wear (the white J Crew) as it seems to kind of float away from my hips. &nbsp;So why the strong pull toward this one?? &nbsp;I don't really even do stripes. &nbsp;Hmmmmmm . . . &nbsp; style expansion or something I should just admire on others? </p>
