I'm excited to try them.<br /> Thanks rachylou!<br /> Notsaf, I think I get it about the skirt length, but for me it works because of the intentionally shorter underskirt shining through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2076150 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 01:06:18 +0000 notsaf 2076150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the column of color too. I pleated skirt looks too long to my eyes, fwiw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2076144 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 00:51:59 +0000 rachylou 2076144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helloooo! Stunning! These browns and burgundies are incredible on you! Keep all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2076142 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 00:43:09 +0000 Anonymous 2076142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those colors work well, as they go with your hair. The solid skirt looks burgundyish in the pic, so yes to blush and other pinks or mauve with it. I'd wear it with teal or dark/olive green too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2076092 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 20:52:11 +0000 Katerina 2076092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three pieces, if the boots are comfy and a good fit - I vote keep all. I really like the solid brown skirt with the burgundy sweater and the boots - a lovely tonal look to my eye. The patterned skirt is fun and looks great too - nice styling here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2076002 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 17:23:29 +0000 slim cat 2076002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colors! I like #1 and #3 for a lovely boat neck black top that gives some elegant feel ( could be dressed up with jewelry or tiny scarf - Audrey Hepburn comes to mind ). Agree with mixing printed skirt with unexpected colors - waiting for more pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075978 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 15:15:02 +0000 Liesbeth 2075978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks DeAnna!<br /> Carla, I would've never thought of that as the faux jumpsuit hadn't seen much light since the temps dropped. But I do think it might work: there's no rust, but mauve blending into brown, and on a navy base which would contrast nicely... I'll keep in mind for warmer (or strictly indoors) occasions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075975 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 15:06:57 +0000 DeAnna 2075975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look amazing in earth tones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075972 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 14:55:49 +0000 Carla 2075972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Work those earth tones! I like the subtle tonal columns of colour best and find #2 a little too high contrast. How does the top from your ‘faux jumpsuit’ look with the solid skirt? I believe it has a rusty red in the pattern and the sage green in the leaves can be picked up as an accent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075971 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 14:54:45 +0000 Liesbeth 2075971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I'm really leaning towards keeping both now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075970 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 14:53:05 +0000 Liesbeth 2075970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Andi and Aquamarine for the vote of confidence!<br /> Bijou, leave it to you to remind me there's so many more options than my conservative mind allows :-D. I'll experiment more!<br /> Sara, I love your suggestions yet will try, try and try before I commit. Because some shades of blue with this brown/rust do not appeal to me emotionally. Yeah, I've already been browsing pinterest lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075969 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 14:51:17 +0000 Angie 2075969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the patterned skirt. KILLER styling. Keep!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075967 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 14:47:55 +0000 SarahD8 2075967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liesbeth I think all three of these purchases look great on you. So I vote keep, IF you are able to work out that you will be able to make enough outfits from them (however you define enough).</p> <p>I’m low-key on the hunt for rust colored bottoms, and I’d like to wear them with white, pearl gray, and pale/icy blue on the top. I think your skirt could be worn with most any shade of blue in fact — treat the rust as orange and make a complementary color combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075931 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 13:21:30 +0000 AndiB 2075931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too am loving the midi skirt and boot trend and you've certainly nailed it here, with both.&nbsp; That first skirt is absolutely wonderful, and you'll be able to wear that in a variety of ways.&nbsp; Your tight palette is working for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075930 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 13:16:28 +0000 Bijou 2075930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these on you - both skirts are great. There is absolutely no need to match the colours in the skirt with a top for the animal print. I frequently wear totally different colours with my skirts and find that blush is a great colour to wear with a skirt like this. The skirt, because it is light weight could also be worn with sandals and a light weight blouse in the summer months.</p> <p>As for the boots - they are gorgeous and a wonderful bookend for your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075925 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 13:08:00 +0000 Aquamarine 2075925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these! Your instincts are correct...these shades really work for you and look very fresh to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075918 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 12:55:49 +0000 Liesbeth 2075918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Molly for the confidence in color options. I'll have to experiment some more.<br /> Lyn, good advice. I do like the tonal combo. But the beauty of this skirt is it could probably work with many colors, Like the blush you suggest. I've also revisited Angie's hot-cold and feisty browns posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075912 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 12:31:42 +0000 lyn67 2075912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all 3 items, and the styling in nr 1 especially. For the uni skirt you probably need a pattern on top for more interest, or rather a lighter color, say blush, cream blouse shirt, etc. The boots are fab, and that print in the first&nbsp; skirt, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075905 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 12:07:22 +0000 Molly Mac 2075905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is outfit #1. I think the wine colored top looks fab with it. Black is an option, but you could also do white, cream or blush. I think some blues might work as well. I see a lot of versatility in the skirt and the fit is very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075899 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 11:59:25 +0000 Liesbeth 2075899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why thank you TG! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075896 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 11:56:23 +0000 Helena 2075896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gosh these look so good. Your styling absolutely works on all of these, as does the colour mixes. I vote keepers across the board! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-venturing-further-into-earth-tone-territory#post-2075885 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 10:17:43 +0000 Liesbeth 2075885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been on the lookout for a pair of *any shade of brown* tall boots this fall, as well as a midi skirt. The combination of the two is a silhouette I’ve really been drawn to this season.</p> <p>Of all the skirts and boots I’ve tried out so far, these three are under serious consideration.</p> <p>The boots fit right and are comfortable. I know this shade of cognac to be versatile for me, as I already own a pair of short booties in it. It’s early in the morning here, and they’re snug, so will try again later as feet can swell up a bit during the day. But fingers crossed.</p> <p>The skirt I ordered after some frustration with not finding any midi skirts I liked, that fit, in my usual color palette. As you may know, I keep a pretty tight palette for maximum versatility (with my limited color mixing skills &amp; appetite). Yet I ventured out to try these two in trendy earth tones. To my surprise, I like both!</p> <p>The plain one is a cheap viscose mix and looks quite casual, yet I like the drape and swoosh. I’m not expecting it to live long and prosper (though you never know), but I’m liking the silhouette with the boots, and the color palette with my burgundy sweater in the mix! Am I wrong here or do these shades work together?</p> <p>I really like the animal print one too: the outer layer is longer than the underskirt and slightly transparent, and I’m loving the effect. Just not sure whether I can confidently remix this one: neither of the three colors in the skirt are my best, yet I would need a matching top near my face. Maybe a black sweater with a silver necklace to compensate? I had kind of hoped the beige stripe would be blush, but it isn’t. Hmm, I’m torn yet feel this would be a useful piece for my casual holiday season ahead (as well as work appropriate).</p> <p>What do you think? Keep all three or be more critical? Are these earth tones on my bottom half flattering enough? </p>
