Sure makes life easy. :)</p> <p>Thanks everyone for the positive comments on the 1st lace skirt! Now I'm going to plot how to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281927 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:21:50 +0000 CocoLion 281927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am echoing everyone's sentiment about the beaded lace skirt! It is a 10 on you. The beading is subtle and tasteful (I'm with you on the glitz and bling all over clothing these days -- too much). I could see you wearing it for years, that is, if the beads don't come undone. The length is perfect.</p> <p>I like the last skirt but feel it is a few inches too short for your best length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281893 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:19:30 +0000 Angie 281893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too love the lace skirt with the contrast lining. KILLER.</p> <p>I vote return the rest. Better items on the horizon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281846 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 18:18:59 +0000 Lisa 281846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote nay to the raincoat and keep to the blue skirt. The skirt fits lovely and is a nice basic to play with for casual or dressy styles. The raincoat, I like the trim detail but the material does not look crisp to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281830 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 17:26:41 +0000 Maya 281830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the last skirt. It's a nice, understated, blank canvas skirt and I like how it isn't dark. Most people wear light tops with dark bottoms, so it's nice to see it switched up.</p> <p>The raincoat is a pass for me. I'm not crazy about the neckline and the pocket placement. It also just seems kind of rumply and unstructured. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281783 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 13:36:42 +0000 medusa 281783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like the contrast lace is definitely a keeper, and the black lace is definitely going back. I'm still on the fence about the raincoat and the blue skirt. Argh, it's not easy being indecisive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281734 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 05:40:14 +0000 Refugee 281734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The contrast lace is amazing on you! The other lace, not so much. I think the final skirt is a great basic: great fit, perfect length. I think the shade of the color in botttoms is not near as important as the shade in the top as it is close to your face. If you have tops/jackets that look (and make you feel) fab, it's a keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281729 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 05:20:17 +0000 Audrey 281729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Contrast lace skirt is great. No on the black lace, I'd say, return the raincoat and opt for something colorful that flatters your brown hair. The blue tweed skirt is a good fit but I just think I like darker colors on you, especially for bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281684 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 04:01:20 +0000 Melissa 281684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love the contrast lace skirt on you! I am on the fence about the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281665 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 03:18:22 +0000 Sveta 281665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the beaded skirt and these beads would not bother me a bit. I would even wear it to the office with a denim jacket and boots!:-)<br /> I am on the fence about the raincoat (it is kind of cute but not completely 10 IMO) and do not really like the two other skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281663 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 03:18:11 +0000 medusa 281663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, it's interesting that opinions are mixed on the raincoat. I'm also unsure.</p> <p>Here's how the last skirt looks on a model. I guess it's actually boucle, not tweed:<br /> <a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?zoomImage=03018029&#038;id=prdi25389&#038;catId=&#038;rootCategory=&#038;sortKey=&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....UnderSale=</a><br /> I could try to style it better, but I don't want to keep it if it's not killer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281659 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 03:12:58 +0000 Jenava 281659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep all but the ill-fitting lace skirt.<br /> The trench is really cute on you and I think it's whimsical and great for Spring<br /> The lace skirt is just gorgeous and you'd be crazy to return it!<br /> The tweed skirt seems like it could be incorporated into a lot of fun outfits because it has both a pale color and texture. I'm thinking pair it with a Navy blouse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281647 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 02:54:31 +0000 catgirl 281647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first lace skirt best of everything! Now that I see so clearly how slim you are, I do not find the coat flattering, and the other skirt isn't all that exciting. The color of the coat is not speaking to me either. I say keep the first skirt and look for better options with the coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281643 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 02:49:11 +0000 MNsara 281643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the lace/bead skirt on you and wouldn't worry at all about the beads. I figure if an occasion calls for lace then it will be bead appropriate too. </p> <p>I'd return the other lace skirt - it is not as flattering.</p> <p>I also like what I see of the last skirt - the pleating at the bottom looks interesting. Can you style it for pics? I'm not very creative with color ideas, but it's neutral enough to let other colors really pop.</p> <p>I am still not as impressed with the coat. I like the white with the piping, but it isn't as flattering on you as I would hope for with a lighterweight coat.. Maybe I'm overlooking something. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281636 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 02:32:39 +0000 bella 281636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the raincoat and the first skirt. I think the raincoat will look even better with skirts + boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281631 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 02:29:19 +0000 lyn* 281631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the contrast lace skirt; I'm kind of meh about the rain jacket, and I'm not a fan of the other things.</p> <p>Good find for the skirt though Very pretty on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281618 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 02:10:59 +0000 annagybe 281618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the contrast lace skirt and the beading doesn't bother me. I agree that the black lace skirt is doing you no favors. I'd have to see the tweed skirt styled before I could pass judgement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coat-skirts#post-281616 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 02:05:18 +0000 medusa 281616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some new items - should I keep or return?</p> <p>1-3 Boden raincoat. I tried this one before and it seemed way to big. This seems the right size.</p> <p>Skirts from Talbots:<br /> 4-6 Contrast lace. I love the color and fit on this one. My hesitation is that there are small shiny beads on the skirt - you can sort of see them in photo 6. Is that OK, or scary? I'm usually not much for sparkles.</p> <p>7-8 Black lace. Not loving the fit on this one, I'm thinking return.</p> <p>9-10 Light blue tweed. I liked this one in the catalog, I'm not sure about it on me, especially the color. What do you think?</p> <p>p.s. I won't wear the skirts with this tshirt in real life. </p>
