As someone who would totally have worn this in my younger years, I say keep an eye out for another piece like this!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-5#post-1111827 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:45:06 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1111827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this skirt, and I really like the fit of it on you &nbsp; Still... I can't quite wrap my head around this at any job, unless you work in the fine or visual arts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-5#post-1111308 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 00:08:49 +0000 minimalist 1111308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the size.</p> <p>But I look forward to more of your posts as you navigate this style shift. "Good-quality classics with a funky twist" is going to make for some fabulous WIWs and interesting K/Rs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-5#post-1111285 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 23:13:55 +0000 unfrumped 1111285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you've got it sorted, and I wouldn't recommend the slit skirt for work. But, a leather skirt in that great color, well-fitted and with just the walking vent or slit--and a younger person could carry off a bit shorter length than I, and especially with tights but not limited to that--that would be a fab fall item. Not as unusual as the slit skirt, sure, but great texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-5#post-1111143 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 20:25:36 +0000 gradfashionista 1111143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're out of the next size up, unfortunately, so back it goes! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-5#post-1111126 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 19:59:54 +0000 Jacky 1111126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, cute - I love the diagonal zipper. Definitely agree with trying a size up. I would wear it at work with tights, or potentially without if I stood all day instead of sitting. But my work environment is extremely casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-5#post-1111118 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 19:55:57 +0000 Suz 1111118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun skirt. I'd love to see a size up. I wouldn't personally feel comfortable at work in this...but maybe with tights for other settings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-5#post-1111114 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 19:53:52 +0000 Susie 1111114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do recommend that you try a size up; it seems to be pulling across the middle. Even with a larger size, I personally would not feel comfortable wearing such a revealing slit in any work setting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-5#post-1111111 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 19:50:41 +0000 gradfashionista 1111111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the midst of finals, a colleague of mine who incorporates a lot of clothing and accessories from around the world into her outfits, remarked about the need not routinize our routines. At our drab institution, it's very much a challenge, because nobody cares--the most fashionable are the hipsters.</p> <p>I'm still re-evaluating my wardrobe and style goals, but over the last little while, I seem to be gravitating toward neutral palettes for clothes. I need clothing that fits into a university context, but I don't want business casual; more good-quality&nbsp;classics with a funky twist.</p> <p>On that note, I decided to venture slightly outside my comfort zone and am wondering what your thoughts are about this skirt. Keep, return, size up? To risqué with the zipper and slit?&nbsp;</p> </p>
