I've long lusted after a Helmut Lang skirt and IRL (as you know) the construction and materials are spot on. Sorry to hear life is wacky but you're facing it looking great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-833926 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 23:32:44 +0000 Aida 833926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quite like the cropped sweater, that's a really fun piece! I really like the print on the skirt, but not sure on the cut. At the very least the shape does give a little extra hip illusion :)</p> <p>(I thought I recognized that nail ^^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-833254 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:48:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 833254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG!!! I'm in LOVE with that skirt and want it! The colours are fab, the draping very funky and flattering and I like the length on you.</p> <p>I also like the cropped sweater and for an inexpensive piece, I say keep, wear and have fun!</p> <p>I'm sorry you are also feeling overwhelmed - sending you hugs and strength my friend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-833167 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:39:07 +0000 Janet 833167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both, especially the skirt! It's perfect for you. I'm always drawn to skirts like that, but I have exactly the wrong body type for them, so I'd look even more comically bottom-heavy. Sigh! </p> <p>Keep, wear, and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-833162 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:32:59 +0000 Anonymous 833162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh, I like the sweater! And that skirt is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-833130 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:48:17 +0000 Thistle 833130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt. I see why you were stalking it! Mi think it looks great, and the fabric sounds like it is comfortable. I also see you in this shape skirt far more than a swishy one. Will it work with your harsh winters? Or is this more for summer?</p> <p>I like the sweater, but I have a hard time envisioning it styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-833066 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:41:20 +0000 ManidipaM 833066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore the skirt --- it's beautiful, it's fun, and it's definitely different from the usual A-lines and pencils.</p> <p>The sweater --- I certainly like it on you, a lot (and am secretly tickled to see you in stripes, after all); but not sure if it's terribly RATE. Can be styled in a RATE way for sure; but in and of itself... am not sure. Though that's more to do with my lack of imagination perhaps, than the item itself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-833052 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:17:17 +0000 Deborah 833052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both. The skirt is just exquisite. The colours, the cut... Sigh. I think you have quite a few styling options with this too. Styling if the crop top is perhaps limited but I say keep. It looks great over the black top, now about a white long blouse? Pattern mix underneath the crop ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-833002 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 09:34:14 +0000 Katiepea 833002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love both and vote keep, keep! Hope life calms down soon for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832997 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 09:24:31 +0000 ElleH 832997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both. The sweater styled with black shirt, pants &amp; boots as you've done makes you look very tall with long legs. The IT shape doesn't seem to matter here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832963 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 07:24:51 +0000 Kiwichik 832963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both the skirt and the top - yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832936 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:24:24 +0000 deb 832936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater looks great but I LOVE the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832927 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:12:06 +0000 Caro in Oz 832927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them both. How would the cropped sweater work over a body skimming tunic &amp; skinnies? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832895 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:37:10 +0000 Beth Ann 832895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fun items, Una. My only question: Does the shirring cause the skirt to shift on you while walking, or does it stay put? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832872 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:13:16 +0000 Anonymous 832872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Need to say no moe. I'm sold. It would look really good with faded denim too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832856 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:05:30 +0000 catgirl 832856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Zap! I think it will also work for summer with some chunky sandals and a black t. Plus it's PACKABLE! At full price it's pretty flimsy but for the price I paid, it's okay... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832854 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:04:11 +0000 Anonymous 832854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, a lot. That skirt can be dressed up or down and that's hard to do with a pencil skirt, for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832849 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:00:57 +0000 catgirl 832849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, the sweater is not that pricey and it's on the Topshop site! This is the length I love - it's petite.</p> <p>Look! In navy and citron!</p> <p><a href="http://us.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&#038;viewAllFlag=&#038;catalogId=33060&#038;storeId=13052&#038;productId=8622349&#038;langId=-1&#038;categoryId=&#038;searchTerm=cropped" rel="nofollow">http://us.topshop.com/webapp/w.....rm=cropped</a> petite sweater&amp;pageSize=20 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832845 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:59:44 +0000 Adelfa 832845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832844 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:59:16 +0000 rae 832844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these both so much I am having conniptions! AAAAH, want! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832843 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:59:04 +0000 catgirl 832843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap, good points! I kind of like the fit -- it is a mesh fabric almost like those "Sweet Pea" tops... so tight but stretchy. My mistake in the past has been falling for pretty, swishy skirts that I can't style. If this outfit works, I've found at least one way to wear it! What do you think of this look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832838 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:54:32 +0000 Karie 832838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the cropped striped sweater - I have had that on my list for a year and haven't found the right one yet. I also really like the cut and pattern of your skirt. I would keep both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832835 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:53:06 +0000 Suz 832835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ditto what Shevia said. I'd like to steal the skirt from you and I also love the little sweater -- just not sure how else you might wear it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832832 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:48:49 +0000 Jaime 832832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice indeed! I love the skirt and I like but am not sure about the cropped sweater - mostly because it is cropped and I am lacking the vision to see how it will looked styled other ways. I hope wiser eyes will be more helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832830 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:47:20 +0000 Anonymous 832830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I did notice the knee and I literally went " that's my girl". LOL.<br /> I do like the top a whole lot as well as the skirt. Are you OK with how tailored it is? It looks a bit tighter than your usual fare, but I know it is the fabric. If so, I vote keep on both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832821 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:43:27 +0000 catgirl 832821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, notice how RATE I am! One green fingernail (Aida gave me some homemade nail polish that I tested in the airport!), and banged up knees from a fall in the parking lot on Sunday. NICE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-topshop-crop-and-helmut-lang-skirt#post-832820 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:42:20 +0000 catgirl 832820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This cropped striped sweater from Topshop's petite line fills a 12 x 12 item hole for a RATE striped sweater. I love that it is truly cropped on me, but does it work for my IT shape? I'd probably wear it with a more fitted underlayer but just threw it on over this black top for now.</p> <p>Also up for consideration is a Helmut Lang skirt that was on my wishlist forever and finally went down to 70% off. It's the pattern and color that I love, as well as the funky cut. But not sure it's doing me any favors. I could use a more RATE/UWP skirt to replace the millions of not-so-me skirts I am about to ditch. Does this fit the bill? I paid under $100 for it at Nordstrom.</p> <p><a href="http://www.glassworks-studios.com/item/helmut-lang/Midnight-Floral-Wrap-Skirt/hel10065/" rel="nofollow">http://www.glassworks-studios....../hel10065/</a></p> <p>And apologies for not being around so much - it has been crazy a la Shannon's "overwhelmed" post... My friend at Mayo just got some really bad news, DS is superbusy with school and sports, work is going bonkers, my parents' condo needs managing, pets are needy, etc. But I miss all my time here! </p>
