I've decided to wait until Saturday to put the fit together. I did not want to rush greatness. I decided to do a hippie look. I'll post more pictures and do a write up later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1659064 Wed, 11 May 2016 22:26:43 +0000 Ledonna N. 1659064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Diane I love our get togethers we creat events for ourselves. It is so much fun. Because we are all from different walks of life. Mothers wives, single in transition, empty nesters.</p> <p>Appropriate I'm decided to wait until this weekend so I can style it right. But I promise to post pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658958 Wed, 11 May 2016 20:22:26 +0000 approprio 1658958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am all for deconstructing/upcycling existing closet items. You have such a good eye I bet you could do an excellent DIY version.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can you post a pic of the skirt you have? Maybe pimp it up with pieces of a plaid shirt (easily thrifted) and some lightweight denim/chambray?</p> <p>I like the plaid and brocade in pic #2. Your circle of sisters all look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658936 Wed, 11 May 2016 20:06:39 +0000 Anonymous 1658936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt is awesome. You definitely need a skirt like that in your life. I have to say too that you go to some amazing get-togethers. They sound awesome.

Creative ingunity. </p> <p>Mochi I'm 5'2 I would need 6 inch heels for this skirt.</p> <p>Deb yes it's so flowy and romantic to me.</p> <p>Avia the sister talk is really great conversation.</p> <p>Shedev I'm working on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658931 Wed, 11 May 2016 20:01:16 +0000 shedev 1658931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking forward to seeing the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658880 Wed, 11 May 2016 18:45:17 +0000 AviaMariah 1658880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that skirt and hope you show us a picture of your creations. The sister circle sounds like a great group. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658879 Wed, 11 May 2016 18:42:58 +0000 deb 1658879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't sure about the skirt until I saw it on and it is great. It looks stiff but on it looks soft and flowy. Waiting for your take. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658860 Wed, 11 May 2016 17:56:33 +0000 Mochi 1658860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt is YOU, Ledonna. It would be me if I were taller or something...I love the spirit of it, anyway. I'm sure you'll brilliantly recreate it. Your life sounds so rich and full, anyway, skirt or no skirt! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658857 Wed, 11 May 2016 17:50:51 +0000 Chris987 1658857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to seeing your version of this skirt! </p> <p>And I have to say you do not need to be apologetic about your budget choices....you should be proud of them. We all have different circumstances and need to live with the hand we are dealt. Moving to a different card game is not always possible or a goal everyone wants.&nbsp; Being fiscally responsible&nbsp;and planning to take care of yourself is really just being an adult..... plus it makes you more creative which is a GOOD thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658852 Wed, 11 May 2016 17:44:45 +0000 catgirl 1658852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/261761894/maxi-wool-and-cotton-skirt-layered-skirt?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=layered" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/2.....ost_releva</a> plaid skirt&amp;ref=sr_gallery_5</p> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/270987684/scottish-style-skirt-plaid-cotton-skirt?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=layered" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/2.....st_relevan</a> plaid skirt&amp;ref=sr_gallery_28 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658851 Wed, 11 May 2016 17:41:23 +0000 catgirl 1658851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of the sister circle.&nbsp; I'm over Beyoncé and her husband myself, though.&nbsp; The skirt is so Vivian Westwood!&nbsp; I adore that style and wish Allsaints had continued in this vein.&nbsp; You could also add a stiff petticoat underneath to get the full skirt effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658563 Wed, 11 May 2016 09:53:43 +0000 Ledonna N. 1658563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roseandjoan I could see this looking like a Vivian W. Skirt. The group has such varied taste and fashion. They really remind me of YLF in the flesh. </p> <p>Sally the skirt is great. I've been purchasing them all winter that is from the op shop. I've thought about it. The skirt is $98 U.S. While not that expensive to some I just don't want to invest the $$$. I have a similar style skirt in grey and maroon in plaid. It is so,full and I'm thinking I can recreate the denim pockets in a creative way. I have a couple of fits (outfits). Being made so I don't want to overextend myself. Thanks for the suggestion it is greatly appreciated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658558 Wed, 11 May 2016 09:43:59 +0000 Sally 1658558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that skirt and now I want one.&nbsp; I don't normally like skirts but I really like that style.&nbsp; Have you thought about getting someone to make it for you if you showed it to a tailor?&nbsp;&nbsp;You would need to find a whole lot of tartan skirts at the op shop and then get a seamstress to put it all together...It might work out cheaper that way.&nbsp; </p> <p>Also your friends have great style...I love the photos of them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658545 Wed, 11 May 2016 08:46:03 +0000 RoseandJoan 1658545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the skirt for you, it's very punk era Westwood to my eye with a dose of cowboy for good measure. I know you will be able to replicate this skirt, I trust your upcycling ability.</p> <p>I could spend all day looking at the fashion choices of your Sister Circle, they sound like such a vivacious group. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-and-inspired-by#post-1658526 Wed, 11 May 2016 07:05:18 +0000 Ledonna N. 1658526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I heard this term used by one of those house wives reality shows. Although I don't watch them. The lady twirled in the dress she wa wearing and she said "gone with the wind fabulous " hahahahahaha</p> <p>So many things give me inspiration. I'm on a long staycation and I get to explore my fashion inspiration and style choices even more. This gives me time to read and research.</p> <p>I found this skirt recently on my Facebook news feed. I loved the fullness and the casual way it was styled. I loved the plaid and the denim mix. What I did not love is the price. Sometimes I really wished I was not so cheap. I mean so frugal or economically safe. I just have other goals. For my $$$$$$. Like living, eating and paying the car note. #squadgoals #retirement. </p> <p>So Beyoncé has this hyped up extended video album called Lemonade. It debuted on HBO this past weekend. I'm not a Queen Bey fan if she is on the radio I'll listen to her. I'm more apt to listen to her sister Slonage' that young lady is pretty much everything in fashion choices and music to me. </p> <p>Anywho, I'm going to a viewing party of the Lemonade musical and then a women's discussion afterwards to discus the who what when and the whys of the collage of videos Bey has done. We call these talks sister talks or sisters circles. Which is the main reason I'm going. The group of women are educated and prolific when it comes to in depth discussion and self awareness. Plus their fashions choices are everthing. All roads lead to style. The last time we got together we had Theifters Tea a few months back.<br /> Anyway I'm gonna do a budget look of this skirt. I included a picture I snatched from the blog Rachylou has because it was so inspiring.<br /> Lots and lots of photos to include the stylish women I'm going to be hanging with this Wednesday night.</p> <p>Thank you for reading and suggestions are welcome and comments are enjoyed. </p>
