So as fellow member of the 'Basics are Blah' Shopping Club, I wholeheartedly LOVE these pieces!</p> <p>Shannon, love the flippiness of the skirt --- matches your cheerful personality. And the print on that top, its fit are perfect for you. I actually really, really like the complete outfit combining them with the white jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636983 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 02:59:01 +0000 rae 636983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 'em both, too. I know what you mean about a looser skirt when it's warm - way more circulation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636959 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 02:25:21 +0000 catgirl 636959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course! xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636953 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 02:16:39 +0000 Deborah 636953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great pieces Shannon. Find the skirt very flattering and provides a fresh silhouette for a change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636948 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 02:10:26 +0000 Suz 636948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL. I know - my similar is also made of panels, so not bias cut, exactly - but the way it swishes makes me think a bit of that. I truly adore the way that feels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636944 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 02:08:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 636944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you know I'm just teasing you Una!</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback everyone. Tags are off and the items are in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636942 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 02:05:47 +0000 Anonymous 636942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good find, both look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636926 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 01:40:35 +0000 catgirl 636926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I'm not against basics, though my usual definition of basics is things like camis and layering tees. These are definitely a step beyond! I like them both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636921 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 01:34:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 636921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're right that I probably wouldn't put the two together Shevia - but I was too lazy to take two pictures (lol)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636879 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:45:41 +0000 Jaime 636879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt looks great on you! Not boring at all. Ditto for the tank, although I wouldn't put the two together. But that skirt deserves more credit than you are giving it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636863 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:32:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 636863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tee hee Suz! Actually, it's not bias cut - it's individual panels sewn flat.</p> <p>Sylvie - yes, both are very comfortable. And you are so right that we need the basics too. That's what we add our statement pieces to right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636855 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:29:01 +0000 Suz 636855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I love that flippy hem for summer, too. (Or any time, really). But - oh no - is it bias cut? Is it dated?? &lt;big grin&gt; </p> <p>Anyway, I have a skirt like this that was a wardrobe workhorse for several years. I am not wearing it a whole lot these days but that is mainly because I wore it so often I got sick of it! </p> <p>I like that tank, too. Both look like potential keepers to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636853 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:27:58 +0000 Sylvie 636853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, these are good basics. They look like they fit well from the photographs. Are they also comfortable to wear? Have you walked around the house in them for a bit? If so, keep. We need the basics as well as the trimmings </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636852 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:27:29 +0000 Angie 636852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A superb addition! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636802 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 23:50:33 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 636802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these on you, Shannon. If I were being truly picky I wonder if the skirt, being full, would look better just a tad shorter, but if you haven't washed it yet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boring-basics-look-away-una#post-636753 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 23:28:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 636753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my black pencil midi skirt but it's a heavy fabric for summer and much better suited to the colder months. But I like having a basic black skirt for work. I went to Winner's today to see if I could find one in a lighter fabrication and found this Calvin Klein "flippy" black skirt. Fit is good and I like the non pencil shape for summer. Keep or return?</p> <p>The tank is also Calvin Klein and has different blues, black and white in it with a draped cowl neck. Again nothing exciting, but a good basic and can be worn with my white jeans (or any denim for that matter), my denim skirt, black clams, white clams. Keep or return?</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback! </p>
