So fresh. You will find more ways to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw/page/2#post-1896049 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 18:56:31 +0000 Jenn 1896049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a bit of an epiphany that I posted about in blog comments yesterday. Angie noted that she craves color variety more than silhouette variety. I think I’m the opposite. I’m happiest wearing a dark column in a variety of silhouettes, with some sort of statement accessory or topper. That’s not the ONLY formula I wear, but maybe 75 or 80% of the time. I’m going to keep the striped skirt for some summer interest, but it doesn’t slide easily into my my formula, which makes it more of a statement piece in my wardrobe. (This might be part of my difficulty with the EF sweater too. It’s not statementy enough to be a real statement, but also is too light to fit into my formula.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw/page/2#post-1895972 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 13:09:13 +0000 Bijou 1895972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the advice you have been given. I vote keep both. Whilst similar to your current black skirt, the new one has less volume and looks great on you, and it does not have the emotional baggage associated with your Mum's funeral.</p> <p>My Mum died last year, so I do sympathise with the baggage associated with what you wore to your Mum's funeral. I wore a blue floral dress (in finds) that I knew that my Mum would have loved to see me in. My Mum dressed me almost exclusively in blue as a child because I have blue eyes. I still wear the 'funeral dress', but when I do I am so very much reminded of her. It probably was a strange choice because I have a lot of black clothing, but my Mum always hated me in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw/page/2#post-1895955 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 12:11:58 +0000 LaPed 1895955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting to me that you find white and off-white difficult to match. You have so many cognac and tan accent pieces, I feel like white -- and white/black patterns like this one, would be very easy for you to incorporate into your wardrobe. I love the striped skirt with the denim jacket and Bed Stu sandals -- feels like a perfect picnic/walk in the park type outfit to me, especially if you add the hat.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm pretty terrified of white garments myself, because my life is quite messy, but I added Angie's Kut denim jacket last summer and it definitely plays an important role in outfits, even if it is not an everyday piece. When you have a predominantly dark base wardrobe, white has a significant wow factor.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895936 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 09:17:29 +0000 Jenni NZ 1895936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Sterling, I prefer the striped one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895854 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 23:46:05 +0000 Mainelady 1895854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both of the skirts and how you have styled them. For $23 I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895637 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 10:45:32 +0000 Style Fan 1895637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both but my favourite is the striped one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895534 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 23:42:18 +0000 Jenn 1895534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>smittie,&nbsp;</b>lol! I'm sure the stripes will help, but it still makes me nervous. I work with pastels and they get on everything! Today, my husband thought I'd been punched because I had purple pastel on my face.</p> <p>I'm fascinated that so many of you love the stripes. I find anything white really difficult to wear because I don't wear optic whites, and natural white is hard to match properly.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895443 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 19:22:48 +0000 Anonymous 1895443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The stripes will hide dirt.<br /> I think they’ll make great wfH outfits.<br /> They flatter your body and I like them with the long line overcoat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895440 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 19:15:37 +0000 Anonymous 1895440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally like them both. &nbsp;I very much prefer the striped one over the black one. &nbsp;So if you are undecided, keep one and return the second. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895407 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 17:29:26 +0000 Ginger 1895407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they both really look terrific! I can see you wearing them both very regularly. The stripes&nbsp;<i>are&nbsp;</i>a bit different for you, but not overwhelmingly so. It's not wild, bold stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895389 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 16:42:14 +0000 Suz 1895389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it could be a wildcard workhorse -- the best kind! And if it's not, no big loss.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895385 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 16:38:36 +0000 Jenn 1895385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought about it overnight and realized--instead of the dress I was thinking about, <i>these</i> could<i> </i>be<i></i> my summer WAH uniform, which would give them a solid place in my wardrobe, so long as I have the right tops. I'm happy with my black ones, and have been planning to add a cream silk tank when I find the right one, so I think I'm sorted!</p> <p>The white skirt is... white, and I don't have Angie's superpower but...so what? It's inexpensive and washable, so no need to be precious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895367 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 15:36:44 +0000 JAileen 1895367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep both, wear the hat, donate the other black one. Personally, I love stripes. Your new coat is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895232 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 05:34:17 +0000 jussie 1895232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the black Target one with the long coat fabbo. Please don’t make yourself wear the skirt with the sad memories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895220 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 04:33:28 +0000 Jenn 1895220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to keep the black one. Still thinking on the stripes, as it's a bit out of my comfort zone. In its favor, it looks really great, in every combination, when topped off with my summer hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895147 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 23:35:39 +0000 Angie 1895147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both too<b> Jenn</b>, especially the stripe. Super cute styling. Fresh and pretty in a harder edge way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good job identifying "the baggage" of the other skirt. ONWARD.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895133 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 22:53:23 +0000 texstyle 1895133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the striped one for spring/summer and because I'm into lighter colors right now. If you like to wear black often I think the black option is also great - at the price, I'd probably keep both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895132 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 22:51:40 +0000 Anonymous 1895132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the striped one, surprising myself. This is really cool on you. I vote keep them both, and fold up the black skirt you wore to your mom's funeral and put it away ...or if you feel up to it and won't wear it, donate it. I finally got rid of the dress I wore 2 years ago to the service for my mom, so I know how this goes. I felt a bit merciless, but I wasn't going to wear it again, so..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895129 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 22:42:32 +0000 Jenn 1895129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cat, I would definitely wear the black skirt with sandals too. I just got tired of changing shoes. :)</p> <p>Right now, I’m leaning towards returning the white. I’m not sure a light skirt is compatible with my lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895126 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 22:29:59 +0000 The Cat 1895126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand that the skirt you wore at your mother's funeral might be linked wit heavy emotional baggage. So I suggest that you "park" it in a holding zone and start wearing the new black skirt instead.</p> <p>Personally, I have always loved "button-down-skirts"--to me, they look "lighthearted" in an elegant way and have retro vibes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895119 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 22:18:33 +0000 Brooklyn 1895119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both too, with a preference for the lighter skirt. I find black skirts are easy to come by but interesting lighter coloured skirts aren’t. I like your stylings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895115 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 22:16:55 +0000 Anonymous 1895115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they could both work for more than summer depending how you style them and they both look good on you.<br /> If it was me, I’d probably still hang on to 5, too. But that’s just me. These new ones look like versatile winners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895111 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 22:13:05 +0000 The Cat 1895111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote: Keep them both. They look comfortable as well as stylish and can be very versatile summer skirts. I like the summery look of #1. I also like the black skirt styled with the black top and various toppers. However, for a more summery look, I suggest styling the black skirt with sandals instead of cowboy boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895104 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 22:01:31 +0000 LaPed 1895104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Emily said. My fav is the striped option, but if you're wondering if you ought to replace #5 with #3, I'd say yes. It's a bit more flattering with the way it sits and the longer length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895085 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 21:15:10 +0000 Emily K 1895085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Prefer the striped one to the all black version (I like the way the subtle stripe lightens up the volume of the skirt) but I also prefer the possible/new black skirt to the preexisting one--the buttons down the front are a nice detail and it seems more flattering as well--it appears to be more of an A-line/gored construction and less pleated/gathered? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895084 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 20:57:16 +0000 Suz 1895084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I get it -- sometimes it doesn't matter whether you can remix! But you could wear it with light tanks or dark and that's the main thing. Really, the question is whether it feels sufficiently "you" -- I think it looks great! And seems practical, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895082 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 20:54:19 +0000 Jenn 1895082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few more options with the striped skirt. I would probably wear it with just a silk tank 99% of the time, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895079 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 20:49:19 +0000 Suz 1895079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think -- get rid of the one with baggage, plus I like the longer length of the new one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-skirts-plus-tunic-wiw#post-1895077 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 20:46:19 +0000 rachylou 1895077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the layered tunics. Target is too much fun. I like the skirts! </p>
