But I love the shorter skirt, it looks cute and swingy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997514 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 23:23:40 +0000 lyn* 997514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW, if you look back at my WIW - I do dress the skirt down with a t-shirt and a denim jacket I also dress it up with a nice blouse and blazer for work! Very versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997509 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 23:12:11 +0000 goldenpig 997509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"<span>This skirt really has the highest happiness factor of anything I've had in a long time"<br />This says a lot!

To me it is much more interesting than the second one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997490 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 22:08:22 +0000 lyn* 997490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I seriously love my chevron skirt - bold pattern and all; I hope we can be skirt twins, but only if my skirt twin is a happy skirt twin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997482 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 21:40:17 +0000 cobaltblue 997482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, you enabler! Now I'm leaning towards keep for dressy event capsule, if nothing else AND look for that more versatile fall skirt. Maybe I need to sleep on this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997476 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 21:26:22 +0000 goldenpig 997476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the chevron skirt way better than the second skirt! I love patterns so I am not afraid of them. Wear what you love! Which one would make you happier wearing--the first skirt or the second? I have a black and white chevron pencil skirt and I would have no qualms wearing it frequently.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997474 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 21:21:19 +0000 Beth Ann 997474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the items, all three of them, but I think you have a great plan to admire, but not keep the chevron skirt and look for a fall skirt.</p> <p>The blue top is so easy, but elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997471 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 21:16:08 +0000 Suz 997471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does sound as if you love it....which makes it a tough decision, since as Thistle says, if it's true love, there is usually a reason. I am sure you could wear it to mass and dressy events. It is more a question of versatility. So yeah.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997465 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:53:48 +0000 Anonymous 997465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a plan -- let me know when you find one and I might bite too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997464 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:52:34 +0000 cobaltblue 997464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking that I'm going to return the chevrons and earmark that money for the perfect fall skirt. Weighty, box pleats, a-line, pockets, but maybe charcoal grey or something along those lines. 1940s coed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997428 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:09:37 +0000 cobaltblue 997428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn*, I'll take a look and think about shortening. </p> <p>Thistle, you are right, but maybe the pattern is too much for someone with a small wardrobe (frequent repeats). While I do like the pattern, I'll admit that it dominates a bit. If I wore this once a week, everyone would know it. I would be even happier if I could find the same skirt in a more subdued pattern. I'm really in love with the weight, drape, and pockets, not the chevrons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997424 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:04:36 +0000 Thistle 997424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, if you love the skirt, you will make it work. I do find the pattern large and a bit overwhelming. Perhaps try a black top or a more bitter top to ground it before deciding.</p> <p>Also, it would be converted to winter. Fleece lined tights, tall boots and a black sweater and it will stretch into the cooler months for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997406 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 19:29:57 +0000 lyn* 997406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you consider shortening your skirt? It took me about three hours to do (but I was slow). I think it would make it more versatile for winter wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997377 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 18:51:39 +0000 cobaltblue 997377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit, yes, I saw lyn* in hers and rushed out to try it myself. They only had two left in the sale room, and one was my size!</p> <p>Rachy, I thought I could get away with that top, too, but it's giving Ceit and Suz pause...</p> <p>Suz, that is the quandary. I was thinking of the striped skirt for wearing to class while it's still warm out (severely limited wardrobe options for that period, too). I don't have a good feel for the weather up there, though, and how long it might be before Fall would set in and make that skirt too cool. I probably have two bottoms and five tops that are summer weight and in good enough shape for going to class.</p> <p>The chevron skirt is heavier, with a tulle lining and an inner lining, too. If I keep it, I'd be saving it for cooler weather and would wear with a jacket of some kind. Or a sweater - I was thinking a sweater with a banded hem might work. Honestly, I wouldn't wear dainty heels with it. I'm thinking of pointy toed flats, oxfords, or maybe even boots. If it can't work that way, I should probably take it back, as hard as that would be. This skirt really has the highest happiness factor of anything I've had in a long time, but you're right that I need to make sure it's not taking the place of things I need more. Buying for a fantasy lifestyle, maybe? Or could I wear this to class and Mass, dress it up and down, etc., as I'm imagining?</p> <p>ETA Thanks, cocolion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997363 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 18:28:34 +0000 CocoLion 997363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three pieces, beautiful on you. &nbsp;The fits are all spot-on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997337 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 17:53:48 +0000 rachylou 997337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I <i>really </i>love the chevron. I like it with the blue top too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997330 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 17:48:16 +0000 Suz 997330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the second skirt. The belt looks great!&nbsp;</p> <p>Not sure about the first skirt. Lyn bought it and shortened it and she is wearing it with tulle underneath. This pattern is very big and bold and a bit overwhelming. But with another top or a kitten heel it might look amazing, so that's not a nay...just a "needs careful styling" vote.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, as the voice of reason here....are these going to prevent you from buying something you need in your new fall capsule?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997306 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 17:04:28 +0000 Anonymous 997306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn* just bought that skirt too and wore it the past two weeks. I like it on you, but I think with a different top.</p> <p>I really like the second skirt on you, and the belt is fab too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-three-from-anthropologie#post-997305 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 17:02:37 +0000 cobaltblue 997305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My love for these pieces is sky high, but I am ready to listen if I need to be yanked out of the clouds. I'd have to return today if needed. Suggestions of any sort welcome.</p> <p>Apologies for the pictures - haven't showered after exercising, my photographer didn't get up off of the couch, and we had a toddler and a baby "helping." I've styled as best I can with what I have on hand. Almost everything is has already arrived ahead of me at our new home.</p> <p>1. Chevron Anthro skirt - also featuring a new brown belt, also up for consideration.</p> <p>2. Same belt with a lighter weight, stripy skirt.</p> <p>3. Without the belt.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
