I like it with the belt, and I like all the ways you are wearing it, but the white shirt is my least fav. A distressed denim jacket would look fabulous as a topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help/page/2#post-1308602 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 02:45:51 +0000 Gigi 1308602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so disappointed to see that this was an old post, because I have been looking for a leopard skirt just like that, in a petite!

Personally, I love pairing leopard with an orange-y red and would dearly love to see this with a pop of color. I think it would take your already stellar looks to a whole new level. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help/page/2#post-1307895 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 11:58:25 +0000 viva 1307895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love a black button-down, and you wear it here just perfectly! #1 is absolutely fabulous in a European, timeless, perfect sort of way.</p> <p>As variations for #1, because I like to play with mixing mood and proportion, I would try the black button-down top with black booties, or the black pumps with a chunky black cropped sweater.&nbsp; But as it is, it is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help/page/2#post-1307891 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 11:36:32 +0000 kaneez 1307891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,<br /> I have a leopard print pencil skirt but m not sure what to pair it with? I am not able to see your photographs....let me know how can I see them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help/page/2#post-593686 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:19:04 +0000 nicole 593686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this skirt! and if I don't say so myself you look awesome in it! </p> <p>When it comes to wearing it in another way I would think maybe of dressing it down. What first comes to mind is maybe a denim chambray. I think you will definitely get a lot of use out of this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help/page/2#post-593643 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:22:43 +0000 Inge 593643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You were made for pencil skirts, Vicki, WOW! And you rock the look with and without belts, so please keep wearing both:-)<br /> I love outfit 1 with the black shirt (how cute is your pose in pic 2!-), but all the other options are wonderful too. Red and orange will look smashing with the skirt.<br /> I was going to suggest pairing it with a denim or chambray shirt (no surprise there), and see a few other people had the same idea.</p> <p>I also love the idea of adding a waistcoat over the button-down shirt, if you'd like an extra layer without adding too much warmth. Perhaps with flat oxfords for a fun, androgynous look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help/page/2#post-593545 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:26:33 +0000 Vicki 593545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rereading each and every comment, I want to say thank you SO MUCH for your caring and thoughtful responses and words of praise. Along with your friendship, you’ve given me so many creative ways to style this great skirt that I hadn't thought of, such as the denim shirt, white or bright wovens or a loose gold belt.</p> <p>Lyn, Amy, yes I'm giving myself permission to wear the skirt with and without a belt and I don't honestly know where I heard or read this, but it's erased from my memory bank.</p> <p>kcanshop, ana, suburbiana and Rae, cciele, I'm going to really make the most of this "neutral" and add denim (shirt and jacket) and/or booties to the mix. ;)</p> <p>Jayne, Shannon, Deborah, Christyg, Debora and ManidipaM and Elisabeth yes the BB black woven felt like a natural.</p> <p>Kristin, morethanbeige, Kyle, AJ, Una, GP, raclar wearing red and orange definitely will spice it up and yet bring on the casual look that I really enjoy.</p> <p>Krish, thanks for the excellent styling ideas with the gold belt, which I do have. My only concern with a thinner belt is the way it might pop off the waistline when I sit or move. The white shirt is another great topper suggestion.</p> <p>Velvetychocolate, your ideas are making my head flow with other possibilities and I like the moto jacket effect and your reference to Angie's post about this formula. Good reminder.</p> <p>Angie, thank you for your always-kind and astute input; it truly gives me the confidence to go out there and enjoy fashion and take chances along with it.</p> <p>christianne, claire, jonesy I'm happy to hear there are other HGTV HHI viewers. I love seeing the variety of homes in different countries.</p> <p>Sveta, I know you would look beautiful in an animal-print pencil skirt and I do apologize for giving you cravings, but you know you'd rock it. I appreciate the pointy-toed observation on the shoes.</p> <p>Jjsloane and Suz, thanks for your encouragement with something new in my closet! Reading these comments really does inspire in so many ways.</p> <p>Thank you so much, everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help/page/2#post-593469 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:14:19 +0000 Aziraphale 593469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous, Vicki! I'm putting in a vote for look #1, with the black shirt and black pumps, but then I'm biased toward black and gray. They're my favourite colours. I think a red top would work too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-593433 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:36:19 +0000 raclar 593433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that is so chic! I love it with the black and red tops.. not too sure about the white top- it doesn't "go" as well, to my eye. </p> <p>The belt looks really good! I might have to recreate for myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-593138 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 06:07:50 +0000 goldenpig 593138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, love #1! And the red and orange shirts are fab with the skirt too! Leopard skirt--how fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-593126 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 05:35:20 +0000 catgirl 593126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just want to say you look fab in that skirt and can probably wear many styles and colors with it. What fun! It's a neutral a la MaryK, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-593114 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 05:06:35 +0000 AJ 593114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee-hee, I have a hard time watching anything without admiring a FAB outfit and plotting how I can recreate that for myself!</p> <p>I like #1 the best and I'm interested to see how you would rock #9. Great skirt find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-593081 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 04:16:20 +0000 Kyle 593081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it best with the black blouse tucked, and pumps, sans belt. Also great with a nude shoe. I'd add color with a strong, brightly colored clutch or bag, perhaps in orange. Also like the idea of a denim or chambray top or cropped jacket. You are one stylish lady. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-593068 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:46:31 +0000 ManidipaM 593068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, that first outfit with the black shirt and belt is totally fabulous! The best look for sure, but I also love the last one, with the cardi and brown belt. </p> <p>Of the others, I think the black/dark tops are working better to balance the drama of the skirt --- the plain whites are looking a little lost and seem to need something else up top (earrings? necklace? scarf? even a bridging belt in a bright colour like red or navy?). Though of course your make-up might do the job better and subtly! </p> <p>And I'd absolutely try the bright tops in the last photo! Especially the orange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-593067 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:46:17 +0000 christy 593067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This skirt is SO amazing on fab you! The skirt with the black shirt is absolute perfection. The others are great also, but that particular outfit just stands out to my eye. I like it with and without the belt. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-593061 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:42:24 +0000 Suz 593061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, now I want to go out and order that skirt, too! It looks fantastic! I especially love outfit 1 but I would love any of these, is the truth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-593020 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:50:13 +0000 Debora 593020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, the skirt is awesome on you! I especially like it with the black tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-593008 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:37:40 +0000 Angie 593008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #1. That outfit is a 10! Also think that you will rock the vibe of the J. Crew model better than she does </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-592966 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:49:21 +0000 velvetychocolate 592966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great skirt on you! </p> <p>In terms of other ways to wear it - I can't help but think of Angie's formula where she mixes up dressy and decidely casual items together. The animal pencil skirt here reads slightly dressed up to me (despite the fabrication) and I'm wondering about pairing it with nude sandals/booties and a soft denim shirt?</p> <p>I think this skirt is amazing, and I love how you've styled it so far - you look fabulous in all of the outfits you've put together with this new (and very fab) skirt. </p> <p>For another way to wear this skirt - what about trying it with a soft denim shirt of some kind, and some nude sandals or booties (such as the Marks Report Booties) and topping it all off with a moto jacket if it's not too warm out? </p> <p>I'm thinking back to last fall - when a very classic, yet stylish outfit idea/formula was to pair some jeans with a dressed-up, soft-ish animal print blouse and some booties of some kind. I can't help but think that if you reversed the formula (animal print on bottom) that it would look just as fabulous. If you pair the skirt with a soft denim top, don't you think you might get that same 'fab formula' of jeans with an animal print top, but in reverse?</p> <p>Just a thought. </p> <p>In the meantime - the skirt looks amazing on you, I especially love it with a crisp black shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-592917 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:53:41 +0000 Jonesy 592917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This skirt is fab on you, and I can see it being a real workhorse for you! You know the funny thing: I saw that same realtor in that outfit, on HGTV, and admired her look :).</p> <p>I prefer the skirt without the belts, and with the woven tops. I can see it looking great with orange, as you've planned, and with lots of other colors too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-592846 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 22:45:10 +0000 Sveta 592846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the versions with a shirt better but then I am not a fan of knit tops :-)<br /> Red shirt will look great too as well as white and maybe any other color - after all animal print is a neutral, right?<br /> I like all footwear options but for me I would prefer not very pointy toes: animal print and very pointy shoes just too much for me together.<br /> Now you have done it: I am craving an animal print skirt and black shirt too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-no-2-pencil-skirt-in-leopard-need-styling-help#post-592842 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 22:34:15 +0000 Jjsloane 592842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not much help because I like it all ways shown. Great skirt on you! </p>
