I love the idea of wearing it in winter with ankle boots, I just have to sort the clinging issue then.</p> <p>Thanks Elle! I don't have a slip, but I'll think about buying one if it enables me to wear this skirt the whole year round.</p> <p>Thanks Meredith! I agree. I've take some more pictures I'll post in another thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633717 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:39:14 +0000 Meredith1953 633717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An obi belt to elongate and a denim jacket would be darling with the skirt. I really like the print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633384 Thu, 31 May 2012 07:56:38 +0000 fieldmouse 633384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a pretty skirt! The print is gorgeous. I think it would work really well for autumn too, you'd just need to wear a (half-)slip under it to keep it from clinging to tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633373 Thu, 31 May 2012 07:14:47 +0000 harmonica 633373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! It looks beautiful on you and I actually don't think it's too high waisted. A denim, tailored jacket or a belt would make a nice waist definition. And for the colors - I think it could be used both summer and winter (with dark hose or tights and dark ancle boots) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633362 Thu, 31 May 2012 06:33:32 +0000 Astrid 633362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! Of course, how could I forget about a denim jacket? I think a denim jacket would be perfect with it, although I also have to figure out how to wear it when it's too hot for a jacket.</p> <p>Thanks Parsley! I'll try to play around with some of my belts and tucking to see what works best. </p> <p>Thanks Mochi!</p> <p>Thanks Suz! I guess I'm really just not used to it. </p> <p>Thanks Aida! I really liked that it has most of my favourite colors in it. I also like the idea of denim and white/ivory. </p> <p>Thanks Nicole!</p> <p>Thanks Dashrashi, that's interesting. </p> <p>Thanks Amy! I really want to make it work. :)</p> <p>Thanks Deborah! And I like this idea too. I'm going to try it with one of the slim belts I have.</p> <p>Thanks Crazyone! A sleeved shirt better balancing the proportions makes sense. I definitely wouldn't wear spaghetti straps with it. </p> <p>Thanks Debora! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633258 Thu, 31 May 2012 03:02:06 +0000 Debora 633258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty...love the pattern!

I think you need a sleeved shirt to balance the fullness. Wear this skirt with a sleeved (short sleeves are fine) buttondown tucked into the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633234 Thu, 31 May 2012 02:41:54 +0000 Deborah 633234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, it is beautiful! Would yo consider tucking a top and then adding a slim belt that sits in the middle of the full waistband? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633233 Thu, 31 May 2012 02:39:48 +0000 Amy 633233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, beautiful print. You can make it work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633231 Thu, 31 May 2012 02:37:47 +0000 Dashrashi 633231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like 1 and 4, but 5 less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633175 Thu, 31 May 2012 01:36:23 +0000 nicoleb 633175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gorgeous! keep!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633162 Thu, 31 May 2012 01:28:53 +0000 Aida 633162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this skirt for you Astrid! You really have a fabulous eye for prints (which shows in your amazing scarf collection). I think you can pull any color from the skirt to pair, plus white/ivory on top with light shoes, and of course a denim shirt/jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633117 Thu, 31 May 2012 00:41:49 +0000 Suz 633117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep it, please. And DO try it tucked. I think you are just unused to the proportion - it is not a BAD proportion. It actually lengthens the leg line. Agree with Angie re the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633013 Wed, 30 May 2012 22:41:33 +0000 Mochi 633013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY cute skirt. That cut looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-633003 Wed, 30 May 2012 22:17:07 +0000 Parsley 633003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, absolutely KEEP! I love that skirt on you!<br /> Personally, I like it with a top tucked in, and I think Claire had a good idea of wearing a wide belt to visually lower the waist a little.</p> <p>A denim jacket or cropped cardigan would look great, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632997 Wed, 30 May 2012 22:10:40 +0000 Angie 632997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>denim jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632974 Wed, 30 May 2012 21:37:05 +0000 Astrid 632974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a good idea! Although mine's not very summery since it's black.</p> <p>ETA I've tried on a denim wiastcoat that fit perfectly last week, but I didn't buy it. I could have a look if they still have it and try it with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632966 Wed, 30 May 2012 21:32:50 +0000 Diana 632966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, just had another idea. Do you have a fitted waistcoat? I think that would work with even a looser top since the waistcoat would create waist definition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632962 Wed, 30 May 2012 21:29:22 +0000 Astrid 632962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Abie! I have a fairly short blue cardigan that would look great with it, I think. I'm not sure if I like the idea of a longer top over it, but I'd have to try it I guess.</p> <p>Thanks Diana! Yes, I'm shortwaisted too. I think all my current tops are too long for it, but I don't own a cropped top at all. I didn't have anything to wear them with before. I'm going to try the tucked top and longer cardi too. Unfortunately they didn't have the bigger size anymore, I aked because I wanted to try it. I could order it online, but that would be complicated.</p> <p>Thanks Marie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632947 Wed, 30 May 2012 21:13:28 +0000 Marie 632947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE that skirt on you - so pretty.</p> <p>Sorry no help on tops w/skirts.</p> <p>Signed,</p> <p>Orphan Skirt Felon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632929 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:59:35 +0000 Diana 632929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, it's pretty! Reminds me of stained glass. I like high waisted skirts like this but I find that I almost always have to tuck with them; since I am very short waisted, all my tops are too long for high waist skirts. Sometimes a tucked fitted top + longer blazer or cardi works too.</p> <p>Another option would be to buy a size bigger and see if the waist sits lower. This might just have the undesirable effect of making the skirt do that annoying rotating thing though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632927 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:54:29 +0000 Abie 632927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful skirt! I have some higher waisted skirts and I like wearing them with a tucked tee or cami and a cropped cardigan, jacket, or shrug. </p> <p>Another option would be a longer top with a belt over it, right at about the waist of the skirt, then a cropped cardi or jacket with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632926 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:51:21 +0000 Astrid 632926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Anna! I think I'll keep the tags on for now and will try to find some tops this weekend. </p> <p>Thanks Jonesy! That's good to hear, that all options I've shown look alright already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632923 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:46:10 +0000 Jonesy 632923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! You were made for this type of skirt, and that print is TDF. I really like it all the ways you've shown it: tucked, longer top, slightly shorter top. I think it looks fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632921 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:44:43 +0000 annagybe 632921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the print for you but I'm a bit wary of you being able to find an appropriate top for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632916 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:36:32 +0000 Astrid 632916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kirti! That's a good idea, I have four weeks to return it I think. Although I think I could also buy some woven tops and simply shorten them myself.</p> <p>Thanks Shannon! This skirt is very fitted in the upper part, so I think a looser top would be alright. I like tucking generally, but I think when I tuck here the proportions are wrong.</p> <p>Thanks Claire! I don't want to necessarily tuck this top into it, I just wore it when I took the pics. But a belt to elongate the top half is a good idea. I love the idea of a short knit top! I'm just not sure if I'll find soemthing that's short enough. I agree, I like it in #5 better too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632903 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:27:03 +0000 Anonymous 632903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid that is a beautiful skirt! It reminds me of Angie's. I see your issue with it, if you want to tuck in a black top, maybe get a black obi belt to kind of fake a regular waist on the skirt? A short clingy knit top untucked might work too. Your sweater in 4 obscures the pretty part of the skirt to me, but 5 looks better IMO. I'm struggling with some of these waist-band issues with my skirts, too! I'll be watching the advice you get! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632901 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:26:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 632901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this skirt for you Astrid - beautiful colours and fits you perfectly. I have one higher waist fuller skirt and find I can only wear tops tucked into it - untucked looks too bulky. But that's just me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632900 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:24:26 +0000 Kirti 632900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and I think it would work well with the right top! That said, I have a high waist skirt that I have been unable to find the perfect top for, so I would advise you to find atleast one top that works before making the final decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---patterned-high-waisted-midi-skirt#post-632889 Wed, 30 May 2012 20:18:16 +0000 Astrid 632889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I bought this skirt today because I just fell in love with the pattern and colors when I saw it online a few days ago. It's a midi a-line skirt made from a thick cotton fabric. The fit and length is perfect, but it is VERY high waisted on me. I don't like the way it looks with the top tucked into the skirt because it is so high waisted, I think I'd need to buy some cropped tops to go with it. I know that we shouldn't buy skirts when we have no tops to go with them, but I'm generally lacking tops at the moment, so I think this would be alright. This would definitely be a summer skirt only, because I don't think this unlined cotton agrees with tights.</p> <p>What do you think? Keep or return? And what tops would you wear with it? I folded the blue sweater up in the last picture, is this length better? And can you see this fitting into my style aspirations? </p>
