I think these "melt in the background" pieces are essentials, although I wouldn't count them in my wardrobe per say. I view them more like my gym clothe or my winter gear: necessary, but not style defining. (Although I am coquette with gym clothes, yet not enough to start doing a huge overhaul).&nbsp;<br />Some days, I won't want to be badass just like some days, I don't was to be "pretty".&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt/page/2#post-1896891 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 20:57:20 +0000 Freckles 1896891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have it sorted out.<br />In your wardrobe do you keep things that are not in the style groove you aspire to?&nbsp; I know I do, some days its just gotta be artistic although that is not at all what my wardrobe is like.&nbsp; Other days it is just melt into the background where I tend to wear things that aren't quite me probably because I'm not quite me that day... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt/page/2#post-1896856 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 18:03:02 +0000 krishnidoux 1896856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everybody!

It fits beautifully. &nbsp;It seems quite versatile. It can have quite different moods depending on the tops and shoes you wear with it. &nbsp;My favorites are 5-8. I like the juxtaposition of the feminine with the more RATE elements. It creates a tension which makes the outfits interesting and draws the eye.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896818 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 14:45:02 +0000 Katerina 1896818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is beautiful, fits you very well! To my eye, not "too pretty" or girly&nbsp;because of the colours and the transparent strip. I also think you can change the vibe with a&nbsp;tougher topper,&nbsp;accessories and footwear - the overall outfit&nbsp;can be "badass".&nbsp;I&nbsp;also think that&nbsp;<b>Joy&nbsp;</b>made a good point about the packing down. It seems like a great skirt to keep.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896800 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 12:56:28 +0000 lyn67 1896800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP! I don't know if goes with your&nbsp; new formula of a badass(nr 7 with black booties instead of sandals?) but love the skirt and think you may always need a little bit of a girlier, more conventional outfit!And shoes make a diff, you have a&nbsp; great updated selection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896779 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 10:36:54 +0000 krishnidoux 1896779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joy</b>, you are so right.

I like the sound of your simplified outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896755 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 03:12:06 +0000 krishnidoux 1896755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenny</b> such a good point on polyester. The other blouse was the bad kind unfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896745 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 02:16:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 1896745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer this skirt to the floral top. It is pretty, and that's more what I like I suspect since I'm much more playful than badass! I love the reds in pics 1 and 2, and love 5-8 with the different footwear, leather jacket and great belt.<br /> I wear quite a lot of polyester and am trying to move away from it but some can feel nice, the quality seems to vary. Some can make you feel too hot but not all in my experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896652 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 12:36:12 +0000 krishnidoux 1896652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Aurore</b>! Yep, this skirt remains in my closet for now. That's an interesting point about the transparent strip. I agree with you that there are two distinct directions to dress it up: feminine and etheral or tough.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896629 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 08:53:21 +0000 Aurore 1896629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt is very flattering! I think the sheer stripe at the bottom prevents it from being too "girly". I agree that it looks more soft and feminine&nbsp;than your badass style : I LOVE #3 for its feminine vibe, and #8 because the leather jacket does add badassery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896585 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 00:53:39 +0000 krishnidoux 1896585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gigi</b>, I think the outfits here are half badassaized, if you will, because I didn't match them with quite the right items. I like it with the biker jacket, but I think I will try that with black tights and a black tight top or turtleneck, or chunky knit&nbsp; (it's still around 0 degrees here). Then the booties won't stand out as much and to me, that subtle RATE (rough around the edges) part will be more "badass" even. Everything else will be black simple, and the skirt will stand out more. I will post pics.&nbsp;<br />As for your second question: yes, I will also want to do this, but keep it simple, so when I do, it will be with flats.&nbsp;<br />You are so clever to ask me about the sales goggles lol! I tend to wear them... so I'm goign to sleep on it and see </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896573 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 23:43:29 +0000 Brooklyn 1896573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot. My favourite is 3, although I am not sure whether the vibe of that outfit fits your style goals? The black stylings do look more like the vibe you want (and look great too). I think there is a fair bit of versatility there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896570 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 23:27:28 +0000 Gigi 1896570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I've read the other comments. Are you OK with the "badassing" only being half-achieved? Do you also want to wear the skirt as a more "girly" piece, without added edge? I just want to be sure that you don't have sale goggles on. You've mentioned that it's rare to find a skirt this nice at Marshall's, and you mentioned that you like the sheer stripe. If it's really the sheer stripe that's the draw, would you prefer to buy a different garment that has sheer panels instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896569 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 23:19:12 +0000 Gigi 1896569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't read the other responses yet. My reaction is that I like it. I think it fits you well and is a beautiful skirt in its own right. My first reaction was that it needs to be "toughened up" with a leather jacket, which I see you did (and that was my favorite look)! I think this skirt completely works with your "badass" style as long as you make sure the other outfit elements are edgy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896568 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 23:14:02 +0000 The Cat 1896568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice print and fit. But I'm a bit skeptical to the polyester and the see-through band. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896563 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 22:44:08 +0000 krishnidoux 1896563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cardiff girl</b>, I get what you say. I wasn't sure about the strip either but actually when I move it looks very sexy without being vulgar or cheap. It was one of the things that made me buy it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896559 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 22:26:04 +0000 Cardiff girl 1896559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Again you look very nice in this skirt I like the pattern and the shape is great for you,I personally don’t like polyester but I realise that a lot of clothes are made from it and it can look really nice,l just don’t like the feel.I m also not keen on the see thro strip but that’s because I’m an old fuddy duddy So If you like it you wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896546 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 21:44:52 +0000 Anonymous 1896546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Efbgen. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Hi Krishnidoux. &nbsp;I love the skirt on you. &nbsp;You definitely wear it really well.

And thank you for summing it up so well and so clearly. What you say makes so much sense. I certainly see myself wearing it during summer walks, which means I must absolutely find comfy footwear for it. I'm not done trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896540 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 21:29:51 +0000 Anonymous 1896540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My rules of thumb are always- <br />1- Fit and flatter- think you have that covered<br />2-can I combine it with several pieces already in my closet- clearly you have several tops/accessories that each give it a different look.<br />3- does it have visual interest- good on 2 counts with print and sheer panel.<br />4- where in my mind do I see myself wearing it- lunch with friends, lecture, date night.&nbsp; If I see several places- it is a keeper, if not- budget says-back it goes.&nbsp; <br />BTW- you are my first post- so excited to join the forum!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896539 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 21:20:09 +0000 krishnidoux 1896539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sarah</b>, so wise of you. You are fantatic. Such a good question that I didn't ask myself before. <br />The answer is: for an afternoon out, a coffee with friends during the day, maybe teaching if I find an appropriate top.<br />All and all: it's a day item, it's an easy-breazy-peasy piece and I need to pair it with tops and shoes that correspond to that.&nbsp;<br />I think I was going the wrong way trying to look for complicated pairings. I think I must tackle this with the word "SIMPLE" in big letters in my head.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, back to square one. But I feel I made good progression!</p> <p><b>Smittie</b>, thank you for your input as well. It encourages me to continue lookin for things to wear it with.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896529 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 20:38:02 +0000 SarahD8 1896529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your “I feel the goal is only half reached” comment seems telling. Where (what circumstances/occasions) might you wear this skirt? And do you have other options in your closet appropriate for such events that reach your style goals more fully?</p> <p>If the answer is yes, I think you will almost always choose the “better” outfit and this skirt won’t see much wear.</p> <p>If the answer is no, this could be a solidly flattering, not too expensive piece to help you transition your style in the direction you want to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896527 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 20:32:08 +0000 Anonymous 1896527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very flattering!

Eye-opener for me. Yes, extra chunky sweater with it, or remain with delicate thin materials. Maybe I just need more black, delicate tops.&nbsp;<br />Your comment makes me think I may also need delicate black footwear.&nbsp;<br /><b>Jussie</b> and <b>Sal</b>, thank you!<br /><b>Kathie</b>, that's so kind of you to reassure me about my legs. You ask the right question. And looking at the pic, I'd say yes, although trying it on with what I have now I say no. It's difficult.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896503 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 19:21:24 +0000 Kathie 1896503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is quite flattering, and your legs look great in it. Based on your other posts, I'm not sure if it fits with your style direction. That said, you clearly have a number of tops that work quite well with it, and 5-8 are all some great options with a bit of edge. Is that enough edge for you to enjoy the look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896501 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 19:18:53 +0000 Sal 1896501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cut and fit are gorgeous - I really like it on you. I think it can swing tougher - and there are times where a pretty summer skirt is just the ticket!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896500 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 19:16:55 +0000 jussie 1896500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-2-printed-skirt#post-1896499 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 19:16:42 +0000 rachylou 1896499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the silky tops better with this skirt than the sweaters - altho Iike pic 5. The sweaters feel visually heavy to me... on the other hand, I can see a really chunky sweater working well with it. Maybe I think a greater contrast in visual weight would seem more deliberate.</p> <p>I’m not sure how badass the skirt is inherently. But it’s very flattering and interesting with the sheer panel. </p>
