Not twee at all. I do prefer the black and pink pairings over the white shirt. A denim shirt might also be fun with this skirt. I vote keep. The AT dress, is gorgeous and looks super fab with the red sandals, another keeper. Nice picks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-339021 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 14:34:58 +0000 Mo 339021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt screams spring.

The extra width and stitching holds the skirt out in such a ladylike way! Beautiful... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338933 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 09:32:57 +0000 Lynne 338933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the skirt with the black and the pink! I would wear the skirt with the pink sweater and belt in a heartbeat! I can't really comment on the black dress because my 'black is not my favourite colour' filter is hard for me to bypass :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338866 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 03:23:51 +0000 Anonymous 338866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress: 10<br /> Sweater: 10<br /> Skirt: 7 (only my opinion)</p> <p>You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338847 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 02:12:01 +0000 krishnidoux 338847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second nancylee on everything she wrote.<br /> I don't think the skirt is too short, but I think it's the shoes. Nude shoes and you will appear to have extra long legs ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338827 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 01:17:11 +0000 Vix 338827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress on you; it manages to highlight about 20 great things at once!</p> <p>With the crowd in preferring the black tank with the floral skirt; I like the idea of white or a light or medium grey with it (if those flatter your skintone), but I tend to prefer camp skirts with more fitted things (straight skirts, tailored shorts, jeans).</p> <p>I think I saw you had some metallic or lighter ballet flats in another thread? I'd try those with the skirt vs the black sandals (and I agree with other comments along the same lines).</p> <p>To my eye the cardigan's color is just enough off with the pinks in the skirt to be discordant vs tonal. It's a bit nails-on-blackboard for me (sorry!).</p> <p>WHBM started with only black/white/grey items and hasn't been in the "color business" that long, so I'm thinking that pairing is a stretch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338818 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 00:59:02 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 338818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt with the black tank and belt. I think it would look nice with the cardi open over it too. I am using a not so great monitor so the color seems just a touch off for me but the cardi fit is definitely a 10. The dress looks like a keeper too.</p> <p>Great shopping adventure. I hope you thoroughly enjoyed it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338799 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 00:32:51 +0000 Jonesy 338799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looove the dress, really like the skirt with the black tank, and am meh on the pink cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338735 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 22:51:37 +0000 Mellllls 338735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like all of your things. i like the skirt better than with the black tank and the cardigan rather than the white blouse. but all the pieces are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338734 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 22:49:49 +0000 Angie 338734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Steph said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338730 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 22:48:02 +0000 Sharon 338730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, the skirt looks too short when worn with the belted sweated- I think that it needs to be below the knee for the proportions to work. I like it a lot with the black top. That works much better IMO. I would like to see a lighter shoe when you wear it with the white blouse.</p> <p>The dress is beautiful and looks lovely on you. I vote keep the skirt and the dress. Not sure about the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338717 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 22:11:25 +0000 Anonymous 338717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt with the black tank and black belt! I would go with a lighter color shoe, though, maybe nude.</p> <p>The dress is totally amazing, LOVE!!!</p> <p>ETA: I'm not really feeling the pink cardigan, but maybe that's just me??? I'd love to see the skirt with a little denim cropped jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338715 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 22:05:26 +0000 CK 338715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt with the black tank and belt and also with the pink sweater. I second the recommendation for nude shoes or sandals. I think the dress is fab, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338713 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 22:01:23 +0000 lyn* 338713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is my favorite skirt combination </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338705 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 21:32:41 +0000 Steph 338705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all three pieces and definitely think you should keep them all! I think the skirt is great and actually prefer it with the black tank over the white shirt. I think it looks GREAT with the pink cardigan and don't think it is matchy-matchy--it matches the non-dominant pink in the skirt, so it looks perfect. The AT dress is beautiful on you as well. Keep, keep and keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338699 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 21:14:04 +0000 nancylee 338699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love your new skirt with your white blouse, and especially with the black tank--it gives it a whole different look. Really love it. The sweater belted over the skirt is definitely a different and more tailored/conservative look than the first two. I know this look is very popular with a lot of YLFers so you'll probably get lots of thumbs up on this one. I like it, but it is (as you mentioned) a real departure for you, so the important question is whether you feel ok with it. Is this a direction you want to go with your wardrobe, or were you following the salesclerk's style? Sometimes this can happen!</p> <p>I would definitely switch up the black sandals with some neutral/nude ones. That way the beautiful colors in the skirt can be the focal point.</p> <p>That AT dress is KILLER (to use Angie's phrase!). I absolutely love it on you. Definitely keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-dress-and-skirt-edition#post-338685 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 20:58:07 +0000 Isis 338685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I did a huge shopping trip. I usually shop at Thrifts and it was thrilling to shop at places with a selection of sizes and wonderful sales associates to bring me things!</p> <p>I would like advice on 3 items: a dress, a skirt and a sweater. All were pricey so I want these to be "10's" and am happy to return :</p> <p>First up is a skirt from White house Black Market, a store I'd never been in before.<br /> <a href="http://www.littleurl.net/6629ae" rel="nofollow">http://www.littleurl.net/6629ae</a><br /> The fantastic SA first showed it to me with a white blouse and a great necklace, but I only purchased the skirt and I'm showing it with my own blouse and a black tank. Then she showed it to me with a matching sweater, and put the belt over the sweater.</p> <p>Second up is the sweater that goes with the skirt....too matchy matchy? <a href="http://www.littleurl.net/583333" rel="nofollow">http://www.littleurl.net/583333</a></p> <p>The skirt and sweater are WAY out of my comfort zone. So much pink! I'm usually much more tailored and casual. Is this too twee? Or is this a good step out of my zone? Also, since I can't wear heels, these somewhat dorky black sandals are what I'd wear it with, I think.....or is there a better no heels option????</p> <p>Third up is a dress from Ann Taylor. <a href="http://www.littleurl.net/9b0644" rel="nofollow">http://www.littleurl.net/9b0644</a><br /> I think it looks better IRL than in my photograph, it's navy with white dots. Does it fit properly or is it too big? I cannot wear heels and would wear them with these red Dansko sandals. </p>
