I missed your posts, Jenava!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030647 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 05:36:55 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1030647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, I think you look terrific in both outfits. I love the skirt on you, and it's going to look so different in motion. It looks like a beautiful fit to me. We don't stand still in life like we do for these photos. <br />In this week's post from Inge, the blogger wore a cropped sweater over a dress, giving the illusion of a skirt: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/09/11/tanesha/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2013/09/11/tanesha/</a><br />Maybe another option for your gorgeous top.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030639 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 05:23:38 +0000 Ingunn 1030639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, you are beautiful in both pieces. I love both the black skirt with the black top and the light skirt version. The tummy issue is something I'm very familiar with as we have similar shape, I think. My conclusion after giving this far too much energy is that it exists mainly in my head, most people don't see it at all. It is, as MaryK put it, a very feminine shape and as such something to be proud of. I do not see any tummy problems whatsoever in your photos. On the contrary! You are slim, feminine and gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030611 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 03:52:31 +0000 Jenava 1030611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much ladies...you do good for a girl's ego, anyway! &nbsp;(-:</p> <p>I kind of wish I'd taken a side shot...my tummy doesn't really show in the straight on shot...but, I know, I know, it probably IS much more noticeable to me than anyone. &nbsp;I'm doing that thing that we all do where we focus on the negative. &nbsp;On the positive, I think this sweater does wonders for my cleavage! &nbsp;I'll just focus on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030591 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 03:26:48 +0000 Jaime 1030591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two keepers and I love it with the floaty skirt (great idea DV!).

I vote keep both pieces and I like them together because the skirt has a sheen and the top is matte. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030465 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 00:04:25 +0000 Anonymous 1030465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both pieces are fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030458 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 23:54:54 +0000 Deborah 1030458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't see the detail on my iPad, so had to wait to get to work to look on a larger screen:)&nbsp; So.... now that I have picked myself up off the floor, WOW!&nbsp; Jenava the skirt is so beautiful, it is breathtaking.&nbsp; The top the same.&nbsp; It is simple but so elegant and looks perfect on you.&nbsp; You MUST keep both pieces.&nbsp; And I see no tummy and you are looking fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030393 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 21:31:17 +0000 kkards 1030393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that 3rd option is so wonderful, it really shows the power of changing one thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030389 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 21:15:29 +0000 Day Vies 1030389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>dreamy -- now if only I could get the right pieces together to make this work for me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030378 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 21:05:32 +0000 Jenava 1030378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I added a photo of the lighter skirt. &nbsp;I'm pretty happy with it, so thanks for the idea!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030374 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 21:02:35 +0000 Diana 1030374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030371 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 21:00:54 +0000 kkards 1030371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit as posted, I think you look great.

If so you HAVE to post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030360 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:53:16 +0000 MsMary 1030360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great together.&nbsp; I actually think your tummy looks amazing -- slim yet womanly in a beautifully curved way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030355 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:51:03 +0000 annagybe 1030355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. I like the whole outfit actually. I think it looks great, like something I'd wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030352 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:49:19 +0000 Suz 1030352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, you are looking amazing. Those collar bones are so pretty!&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like both those items. And I can see the sweater paired with one of those lighter skirts, too. Also, don't you have some higher waisted flowy sort of trousers?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030342 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:41:07 +0000 Jenava 1030342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No problem sitting. &nbsp;Since the top hits above my tummy it stays put. &nbsp;The top isn't tight, actually...it's quite drapey and not tight at all. &nbsp;Sorry, I tried to lighten the photo but it didn't come out very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030339 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:39:21 +0000 MsMaven 1030339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What happens when you sit down for a few minutes?</p> <p>I think you look great standing. &nbsp;Based on my experience, being tall and having a rounded tummy, some shorter tops will tend to slide upward when I sit in them, often exposing skin--much to my dismay. &nbsp;Tighter knit tops roll upward. &nbsp;A looser top will often work, though. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030335 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:37:37 +0000 Jenava 1030335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple lighter-colored skirts that are full that might work. &nbsp;I just wasn't sure how to mix them with black...What do you think? &nbsp;Photos below. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030332 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:31:55 +0000 Day Vies 1030332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both but not together. I don't see your tummy the way that you do I think it's fine. If you feel foundations will curb your self-consciousness I say the skirt is a keeper. <br />I think the top would be a dream with a full floaty skirt in a lighter color. I saw <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/294211788127878610/" rel="nofollow">a pin</a> just this morning that looked fabulous. The top is cropped but shows no mid drift with a high-waisted skirt. I think the same formula could work with voluminous trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030331 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:30:37 +0000 CocoLion 1030331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow -- stunning. &nbsp;You look very slim, I wouldn't worry about any tummy issues. &nbsp;I love both items on you, you wear black well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---black-skirt-and-top#post-1030318 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:15:44 +0000 Jenava 1030318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,&nbsp;</p> <p>I am trying to decide whether to keep or return these two items. &nbsp;The skirt is knitted and a little longer in the back. &nbsp;Perforated, lined leather in the front. &nbsp;The top is cropped, and hits right at my natural waist. &nbsp;It's very comfortable, but I feel it exposes my tummy, which I don't love.</p> <p>I would only be able to wear the top with high-waisted bottoms. &nbsp;I have a white pencil skirt that has a black pattern, a pair of black trousers, and a purple pencil skirt. &nbsp;I think that's it...not a lot, but then again the top was priced very, very reasonably, so it's OK with me if I can only wear it with a few items.</p> <p>I'd wear the skirt with tights or other foundation garments that would help a little with the tummy, but since the top is so cropped I do feel self conscious about my tummy in this.</p> <p>What do you think? </p> <p>ETA - I blew out the picture to try to make the structure of the garments more visible.</p> <p>ETA - top with a pink skirt per Day Vies&nbsp;recommendation. &nbsp;Sorry for somewhat terrible photo quality. &nbsp;I blame google editor...what you see is not what you get.</p>
