I too have problems with my hips, they look just too small compared to my shoulders, or maybe it's me, I don't know, but I certainly like this skirt on your lovely hips </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323963 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 13:45:00 +0000 Heather 323963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL!! Una, you are pure comedy! "Segmented worm." </p> <p>I think the BR pencil is a great piece (and PRICE!!), it isn't black (bonus) and seems like it will be a workhorse for you. Now, let's see it styled! </p> <p>CAVEAT: the rest of your wardrobe has stiff competition against the PJ top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323941 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 10:31:34 +0000 Nancy 323941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep with a capital "K"! Have it taken in if you are not satisfied with the fit, but it looks great in the photo and very versitile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323933 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 08:00:20 +0000 Aunty 323933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep. It looks like a perfect fit and is a great colour for mixing up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323904 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 04:36:12 +0000 CocoLion 323904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep! Una, if you like this then get a few in different colors and have them taken in a little in the hips to perfect the fit. It's a simple adjustment and would be worth it. Do you have a decent seamstress/tailor where you live? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323901 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 04:26:29 +0000 chewyspaghetti 323901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a yay from me. too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323859 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:41:30 +0000 Bookarella 323859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yay. Like the color and the fit on you. Keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323858 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:41:29 +0000 Lisa 323858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color, the fit looks good, as a pear, I always get pulling around the thighs with pencil skirts. You look great in this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323845 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:33:00 +0000 MNsara 323845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sure looks like it fits you very well! I like the color a lot and think it'll provide a great basis for wearing lots of bold, mid-range colors with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323842 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:31:08 +0000 rae 323842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! Looks good from here - no need to risk segmentation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323824 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:16:46 +0000 taylor 323824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh nice, I say keep especially if it fills a wardrobe hole! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323821 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:13:32 +0000 catgirl 323821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, yes, the bruises are from climbing as well as general clumsiness. The big bruise on my knee and the bullet hole are both from falling on lead climbing, right in the gym. Pathetic. </p> <p>Funny about your doctor, although I guess they have to think about those things. My husband looked a little alarmed when I told him I could get him in a lot of trouble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323817 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:11:13 +0000 catgirl 323817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, it's a deep cool grey. It's made of a nice stretchy material which feels pretty substantial (almost like a sports fabric!), but it's not lined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323816 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:10:57 +0000 sarah 323816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like it fits really well! I vote keep it.</p> <p>OT: Are your bashed up legs are from climbing? Back in the day (before elbow tendonitis, kids, career, etc.) I used to do a lot of bouldering and my doctor was convinced I was being abused because I was so covered in bruises... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323813 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:10:04 +0000 catgirl 323813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's really comfortable, Mo. I am thinking I might order a size down but I fear it would give me segmented worm syndrome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323807 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:06:27 +0000 Mo 323807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no expert in the pencil skirt arena but it sure looks good to me! Does it feel like it fits well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323805 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:06:11 +0000 celia 323805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my screen they look like the scrunch in the sides.Do they?<br /> If it's just from the package the rest seems prwtty good to me.<br /> I know what you mean with the syc because I've been doing the same.At least is whit a purpose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323801 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:03:45 +0000 Jonesy 323801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it gray or a grayish blue? It looks like it fits you like a glove, and I think it's a fab shape for you! Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-br-pencil-skirt#post-323794 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:00:00 +0000 catgirl 323794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you tell I'm not only off SYC, but on a mad shopping spree? At least it's all purposeful! </p> <p>I saw this BR pencil skirt on sale for $28 in petite sizes. I don't have a neutral pencil skirt except in black, and this would fill a hole. Does it fit okay? It's a little wrinkled from the packing. In general, I find pencil skirts difficult, as they often flare more in the hips than I can fill out, but if I size down the waist will be too tight (it's the opposite of the pretty pear issue). </p> <p>Please ignore my pajama shirt and bashed-up legs! </p>
