It is chic, fun, young--and you manage to look great in this colour! I imagine that it could easily be styled with items in more neutral colours like sand, tan, cognac and navy (all of them less harsh than black). It could be worn with jeans, dress pants, midi and knee length dresses and skirts, silk blouses, pullovers, tees, pumps, loafers, oxfords, sneakers, booties, jewellery in gold, amber, orange, brown, green ... Lots of possibilities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965328 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 13:54:20 +0000 Anonymous 1965328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep the A-line skirt. It's cute and summery.<br />Glad you're keeping the green jacket. Really fab. You might not wear it often, but if a colourful mood strikes, it's there for you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965324 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 13:29:02 +0000 lyn67 1965324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love skirt in&nbsp; nr 3! Love the color and the print&amp; don't see&nbsp; why it is going. You don't have to spell it loud for me but can happen your eyes are ill focused on something other never see...so I would think again-Love the green jacket, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965321 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 13:14:00 +0000 LaPed 1965321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are keeping the green moto!

You are right. I never met a chevron that I didn't like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965260 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 07:42:36 +0000 Sal 1965260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the additional feedback.</p> <p>The Moto is back in the closet - it is actually a good time of the year for it right now because it only layers over light weight tops.&nbsp; And we are about 10 C (50F) in the morning now and about 20 C (68F) at lunch time.&nbsp; It has a paint effect on it so it does have a lot going on....&nbsp; Thanks Suz, Donna and Cindy.</p> <p>Brookyn - clever idea with the chevron - I kind of tried it and I think it could work.&nbsp; I like the chevron with black tops which I have at least three that could potentially work.&nbsp; Genius - obviously the unloved chevron really got your creative juices flowing:)</p> <p>Jane - I am a pattern person - typically not much layering, simple shapes, not many accessories - and letting pattern be my creative signature.&nbsp; But patterns are hard sometimes - and I have made the mistake of not having the supportive act - especially toppers!!</p> <p>Gigi - it is nice to hear from another maxi lover....&nbsp; I have enjoyed this one and I am ready to let it go.&nbsp; &nbsp;And lets look for a chance to wear our neglected jackets.</p> <p>Fashintern- yes I have had a few maxis over the last six or seven years(four dresses and two skirts in total).&nbsp; They do work well for my climate and lifestyle and also my figure - this one probably has been the least successful.&nbsp; I am going to try the alteration for the chevron tunic.&nbsp; I will see about the autumn toned skirt- I wonder how much I will call for it even if I get a new top?&nbsp; But I won't know until I get a new top - so is it good money after bad? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965258 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 07:10:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1965258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the chevron &amp; the way it looks on you. Get a bright colored bra, possibly a racer back, and don’t worry about the straps. Or do the alteration Brooklyn suggests. </p> <p>I didn’t realize you had gone in for the maxi dress thing. I like the detail at the hem of the blue one, but neither of them really looks like you. </p> <p>You’re going to pass on a skirt you like, one that fits and is in good shape, because it doesn’t have a partner? That doesn’t make sense to me. </p> <p>Moto has gotten a lot of love here. I’m generally not a fan, but you wear this one well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965256 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 06:15:42 +0000 Jane 1965256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good plan to keep the jacket and I’d think about how to incorporate it into more frequent wears. Well done with the other items. You are very good with patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965242 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 04:27:34 +0000 Brooklyn 1965242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a thought about the first chevron dress - I once had a dress cut in half and then an elastic wAist band inserted to turn it into a skirt. Because I didn’t like the top half. It’s a fairly simple alteration. I think it could make a nice skirt and it solves the bra issue. You could only wear it with untucked tops. </p> <p>I think the autumn a line skirt has potential too. I like how you are wearing it here.</p> <p>Not so keen on the leather jacket as others here - something about the finish. But it is an unusual colour. If you like the colour I say keep. That style is very classic and it suits you, I think.</p> <p>I vote pass on the other two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965239 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 03:58:23 +0000 Suz 1965239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the green jacket! Even if you wear it but occasionally, it's a good statement piece. The others can go!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965237 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 03:43:47 +0000 Gigi 1965237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like the blue maxi dress, as long as you could wear it with a strapless bra. And I like the green moto. I would pass on the others; I think that the silhouettes aren't as flattering as they could be.</p> <p>I have a jacket that I am in a similar quandry about. I really like how it looks on me, and it's really a cute piece, but I just don't have reason to wear it much, and I don't know that I would buy it today if I had the chance. I will probably hang on to it for another year. </p> <p>Maybe hang on to the green moto for another year, and if you don't wear it in that time, give it up? Sometimes circumstances change, and a neglected wardrobe item suddenly comes out to play frequently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965222 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 02:07:37 +0000 cindysmith 1965222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That green jacket is great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965217 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 01:58:58 +0000 DonnaF 1965217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please, please keep the green jacket. Wear it with any and all non-muddy colors and black and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965216 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 01:58:07 +0000 Sal 1965216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie.....&nbsp; looks like the jacket is the winner.....</p> <p>My opinions - the maxi dress should go. The maxi is fun but I can find something else that speaks to me about summer.</p> <p>The&nbsp; chevron tunic dress is on it's way...&nbsp; I could wear it over a swimsuit but I usually cover my shoulders.&nbsp; And it is too bare for anything bar super casual mid summer.....and I don't like layering over or under.</p> <p>Decision - keep leather jacket<br />Thrift shop - tunic and maxi dress and maxi skirt<br />Still unsure - A line skirt.....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965211 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 01:49:04 +0000 Sal 1965211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia.&nbsp;The jacket is lovely and it is great with a simple tee and jeans....and even okay with the column of black.&nbsp; It is apple green whereas the skirt is sage/olive green.&nbsp; I do really like it but don't wear it often as of late.&nbsp; I did for two years though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965209 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 01:47:55 +0000 Angie 1965209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pass it all on ACCEPT the green leather jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965205 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 01:42:22 +0000 Jaime 1965205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everything as a potential go, up until the green jacket. I love it on you and it is such a gorgeous and unusual color. I am not so into motos at this moment but would keep that one.<br />If the chevron dress worked as a swim coverup I would use it for that, and the autumn toned skirt might work brilliantly with the green moto. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965202 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 01:30:48 +0000 Sal 1965202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy.&nbsp; I am open to getting an olive or even brown top to wear with this skirt and other pieces.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I will share my opinion on the others a bit later.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965201 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 01:28:26 +0000 Anonymous 1965201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would pass on 1,2,3 and find something better. The skirt in 4 works with the black top and the green jacket is unique and a lovely color on you. I would wear it with navy or other blues like denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppass-on---the-ones-i-dont-know-about#post-1965193 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 01:07:54 +0000 Sal 1965193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>Here are my pieces that I don't know what to do after my summer/spring wardrobe changeover.&nbsp; The pictures have confirmed one that is on the way - you can laugh at my expense!!</p> <p><b>1)&nbsp; Chevron dress</b>.&nbsp;(Three years).</p> <p>Pros- love the colours and pattern<br />Cons - hard to wear, shows bra straps, quite bare, hard to layer over</p> <p><b>2) Turquoise Maxi dress</b> (three years - from consignment store)</p> <p>Pros - comfy for hot summer nights, get lots of compliments on the colour and when wearing, this dress evokes summer and I love that</p> <p>Cons- is it me?&nbsp; It is pretty large and baggy.</p> <p><b>3) Blue and white maxi skirt </b>(three years)</p> <p>Pros - love love love the pattern<br />Cons - stretched out and hard to wear and while the white trim in the background slightly distorts the photo I have instantly fallen out of love with the skirt.&nbsp; <b>It is going.&nbsp; </b>I am brave to show this unflattering pic!!<b></b></p> <p><b>4) Autumn toned A line skirt</b> (11 years old)</p> <p>Pros - I wore and wore this and loved it.&nbsp; I have not worn for about five years but I still love the pattern and style.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Cons -&nbsp;</p> <p>But it is an orphan- I don't have a top to go with it.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p><b>5) Green leather jacket</b> (three-four years)</p> <p>A kind gift from Annabelle (forum member).&nbsp; I have loved wearing this and still do - but I have only worn once this year (to see Ed Sheeran in concert).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Pros - great quality leather, fun jacket<br />Cons - hard to wear and maybe not quite my style any more?</p> <p>These are all statements of varying degrees.&nbsp; I think one or two of the pieces are staying and the balance are on their way.&nbsp; The blue and white skirt is going.&nbsp; I will share my views later as to the keeper/s</p> <p>A couple have almost been edited out a couple of times but I haven't quite been able to do so.&nbsp; Styling ideas are welcome but I am open to passing them all on.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Excuse the photos - I was rushed and have eyes closed in a couple.</p> <p>Thanks in advance<br />S </p>
