Yes, this one could work....maybe....it needs to have hose/ shoes, etc. to balance it off. And scrunched sleeves. And I'm not sure this grey works with the crisp black and white, but that is harder to tell.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ultimately, you can wear this style of skirt if you are committed to finding the right pieces to work with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1388239 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:38:39 +0000 anne 1388239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just quickly. For Suz </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1388020 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 18:54:06 +0000 Shirley 1388020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it will work as a work piece. With a proper jacket it will be a chic and classic outfit for work days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1388012 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 18:41:51 +0000 Traci 1388012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE it with the white tank and also with the black turtleneck. &nbsp;I'm not as fond of it with the jumpers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1387950 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 17:09:16 +0000 Suz 1387950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I meant the other dot jumper, Anne -- the black with white dots. Or did you return that one?&nbsp;</p> <p>The skirt looks great on you. You just need to find the right pairings for it. And your figure is terrific!!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1387930 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:35:03 +0000 tulle 1387930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, sorry, but that dotted jumper is the wrong gray!&nbsp; (Always hard to know until you see them together.)&nbsp; If&nbsp; you don't want to wear cream, I would suggest another soft pastel of the same intensity as the gray.&nbsp; This could be pink, peach, aquamarine, lilac, etc. A slightly cropped, square-ish or flared-at-the hem fuzzy sweater would be very pretty: think soft watercolor effects blurred over architectural shapes.&nbsp; When you find the right top, I'm quite sure the skirt will click for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1387916 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:20:26 +0000 lyn67 1387916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cannot see any problem with your profile pictie!:-) Love nr 1-2,&nbsp;5, and 6. And would like to see top from nr 1-2 untucked, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1387852 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:24:37 +0000 Diana 1387852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this style of skirt and I think you look great in it! I like all the styling a except the dotted pullover, which seems too long for the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1387851 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:23:07 +0000 Diana 1387851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this style of skirt and I think you look great in it!

However, if it doesn't make you feel fab, I'd pass on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1387840 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:02:09 +0000 anne 1387840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Meredith. I can't remember about the greys in that outfit actually, as I was hurriedly changing. I know the greys clashed in pic 7, which I've just added, and was Suz's suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1387836 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 13:50:03 +0000 Meredith 1387836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 4 looks really cool! Looks like a good color pairing on my monitor, but do the grays play nicely IRL? I'll let the more experienced ladies comment on the fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1387833 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 13:36:29 +0000 anne 1387833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have just added more photos to the post above! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1387709 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 02:43:56 +0000 anne 1387709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everybody for your contributions to this thread. </p> <p>My life is a bit stressful and busy at the moment, and this is reflected in the quality and number of the photos below. Both my photographer (DD) and my time was being eaten up by braiding their hair in complicated patterns!</p> <p>Anyway...</p> <p>Thumbelina - photo three is with a charcoal suit jacket</p> <p>Photos 1 and 2 are with a very body con top and are my response to suggestions both about a more tonal look and to those who want to see how it fits more clearly. Oh and for the profile look (I never look better in profile!)</p> <p>Rachylou - I thought it looked too low too - but that is my real waist position (not much of waist at the moment, I know) I am very long waisted and I do worry that the shape of the yoke, as well as focusing attention on my tummy also makes my torso look every longer </p> <p>DD said she'll take some more pics later on on so I hope to show you more of your suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386759 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 15:50:42 +0000 rachylou 1386759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a whole lot. I feel like you're wearing it kinda low, tho... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386703 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 14:39:57 +0000 Angie 1386703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Suz. Style the skirt with some pieces you have at home and take it from there. The Dot jumper is a GREAT idea.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386638 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 13:12:42 +0000 lyn67 1386638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about trying a&nbsp;&nbsp;flud fit with a welt on the hips&nbsp;(or even a&nbsp;boxy)&nbsp;sweater untucked and sheer hose, or opaques for leg lengthening visuals? Sweater has to end&nbsp;somewhere where the pleats of the skirt start.&nbsp; I would aim to keep the skirt&nbsp;as the hero of the outfit &nbsp;so keep &nbsp;everything else dark and simple-to be&nbsp;supporting actors:-).&nbsp;I&nbsp;like the skirt, and don't think it adds that much bulk like you are saying, but you have to like it, so you know better:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386624 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:44:54 +0000 Suz 1386624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best way to know if you should keep is to try a few stylings, Anne. How about with the dot jumper?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386621 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:37:57 +0000 Alassë 1386621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're looking great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386556 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 07:50:37 +0000 Lucy 1386556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like! I don't think it looks baggy or bulky, just stylised, if that makes sense. I have a slightly architectural grey skirt and I find it surprisingly useful. I like it best with a black fitted turtleneck, but I do sometimes bring colour to the top as well, with a black coat. It seems versatile to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386553 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 05:46:57 +0000 Lyn D. 1386553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep- unless it looks bulky over the tummy&nbsp;in profile, which is hard to tell from this pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386458 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 02:38:47 +0000 Beth Ann 1386458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shape --- it's meant to be curvy, and I don't think it adds bulk.&nbsp; I'd like to see it in a tonal effect, too, or with something simpler on top.&nbsp; It would also work with a black jacket, which might cover the hip area if you're still feeling uncomfortable with the shape of the skirt.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386435 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 02:10:50 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1386435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think the shape is very flattering. Makes the volume seem like the result of the skirt rather than the body underneath, if that makes any sense. I agree, a tonal low-contrast look would be fun to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386432 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 02:04:36 +0000 unfrumped 1386432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is great, but I think that's a hard style to pull off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386425 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 01:44:35 +0000 anne 1386425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also would this be voluminous enough to fit in to Angie's recent waisted look with volume blog idea? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386420 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 01:39:13 +0000 anne 1386420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks thumbelina. I don't do cream but I do have a charcoal suit jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386375 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 00:28:44 +0000 thimblelina 1386375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that soft gray. And the pleats are very architectural... Try giving it a dreamy tonal treatment with some creams and charcoals? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-this-skirt-1#post-1386365 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 00:13:21 +0000 anne 1386365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A new handmedown. All comments welcome as I don't know if I like it . Styling advice welcome too.</p> <p>My reservations are that it is too much bulk on my bottom heavy body and that the yoke makes my tummy look bigger. </p>
