Fun styling options! I like 9 (but with a different belt), 10, 12, 19, and 21 the most. I think 17, 26/27 need to be tucked a bit sleeker (not bloused). 18 I would like to see tucked and paired with a dark shoe. Do you have any suede heeled booties? I think that would look really nice with this skirt; the tall pair don't quite feel sleek enough to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465200 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 22:19:05 +0000 mamaKate 465200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 9, 12, 19, and 25. I would love to see the top in 16 with the belt from 19. I like the brown suede boots best with the equestrian PB top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465084 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:25:59 +0000 HelenInCanada 465084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your styling in pics #9, 12, 15, 19, and 21 are gorgeous! Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465082 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:24:30 +0000 Isis 465082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the drape on the size 4 better.</p> <p>I like 9.10, 19 , 21, 26, 28.. </p> <p>18 is too long; can you belt it like in 19?</p> <p>I do like the blouses (except 25 which, to my eye, has too much yellow for the orange leather). Honestly, I think tucked in blouses flatter your figure, go with your bombshell feminine style, and you do not look fat in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465080 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:21:47 +0000 Ves 465080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see a lot of difference in the 2 or the 4. I think it was just the last set of pics where it was falling strangely on your hips. Don't really see this anymore. I love most of your choices. #9 is sexy. Love the blue color is #10. #12 looks PERFECT. #19 - love the pairing. I did not like #13, #17, #26, an #28.</p> <p>All in all, I think the skirt is a keeper - so many styling options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465072 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:09:04 +0000 rachylou 465072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>9, 12 &amp; 24 really caught my eye. 9 is hot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465049 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 18:24:49 +0000 bran888 465049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm the waistband appears to be doing something funny in the back in pics 4 &amp; 8...I'm not sure if it is too tight, or is just not fitting quite right? maybe it should be worn a little higher, can you pull it up a hitch? very cute skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465024 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 18:00:59 +0000 Sveta 465024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think size 4 is better: ther eis a pickering on your sides in pic. 4 hwich may be because the skirt is a bit tight.On the other hand leather does stretch so I am not sure. Which one is more comfortable?<br /> I like most of your styling pics except these:<br /> 12,13, 16 - too close in color to the skirt;<br /> pic 18 - love the color of the top but not the length with this skirt: maybe you can tuck it in?<br /> 28 - I am not a fan of this green with the skirt color.<br /> I also remember Angie advising not to wear tall leather boots with leather skirts: too much leather... This skirt looks great with pumps!<br /> I actually like #17 a lot - colors are close but not the same, it has a quiet sophistication about it.<br /> I absolutely love #9!<br /> As for the waist surrender: I was afraid of it too. I am an hourglass and my waist is my best asset. I felt that as soon as it dissapears I look huge ans shapeless. However I have descovered a secret here on YLF and now waist surrendering is one of my favorite looks. The secret is to have leg definition instead of waist definition. If you wear skinnies or hems above your knee your proportions look right somehow. Try it and let us see the pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465015 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:51:38 +0000 Nakidra 465015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rita. That RL blouse is fab. I like that skirt a lot!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465012 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:43:20 +0000 modgrl 465012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 12,14 and 21. That new RL blouse is fab with it. Beautiful. I like it with the tall boots. I guess I am leaning toward the size 4. Which one feels better on you? If the 2 were the only one available, I would stick with it, but I think the 4 is just a tad bit better. Do you have any really cropped jackets or shrugs? Maybe even a tiny cropped denim jacket? I think that would be a nice look over any of these blouses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465004 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:31:19 +0000 Sylvie 465004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>12,16,19,21 are the ones that stood out to me as fab.</p> <p>I like to see the top tucked in but not bloused out, creating a straight and smooth line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-465002 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:27:43 +0000 Amy 465002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, lots of good things to look at here. I'll just start by saying I didn't look that closely at the sizes, so don't know how to advise you there. I mostly focused on the tops you're pairing with the skirt.</p> <p>I like the look of #9, but an not crazy about that particular belt with this. I think it's just that you can see the waistband of the skirt near the buckle--which bothers me a bit.</p> <p>I LOVE nos. 12, 14, 15, 16, 19, and 20. Totally chic.</p> <p>As for #17, it's nice, but I would prefer more contrast in the colors.</p> <p>The color of #10 is great with the skirt, but I think the sweater is a little on the bulky side for tucking in.</p> <p>#18 is a pretty top, but I think it's too long for this skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-midi-size-24-comparison-and-bunch-of-styling-pics#post-464992 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:11:44 +0000 goldenpig 464992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I tried to edit my thread from yesterday but it wouldn't let me so I'm creating a new thread.</p> <p>I agree with all of you and returned the sweater cardigan yesterday. And while I was there I found a size 4 leather midi so I bought that to compare with the size 2. Unfortunately now I just realized that the SA forgot to take the shoplifting doodad off (how was I able to leave the store with that on?) so I'm going to have to go back to get it taken off--ugh! Hopefully that won't be a problem, but I have the receipt to prove I paid. How embarrassing.</p> <p>Anyways, here are some more pics to compare size 2 and size 4. I'm not convinced I see much difference but maybe your expert eyes can pick up which one looks better on me. Also I've been playing with the skirt and here are lots of styling options (have a look Una!). I'm not sure all of these work but I think enough do that it's worth keeping the skirt. </p> <p>I am the total opposite of Una, I am a waist surrender phobe. Tough to be a waist definition fan when you're an apple...for my body type I really should do waist surrender more but I just feel like it makes me look fat! I did a few untucked pics but they are with close fitting tops. Also, I can tell toppers are going to be tough to match with this skirt...I have a few but I'm not sure how well they work. Have fun looking at the pics and do tell me what you think about which size I should keep and which tops and shoes/boots you like with the skirt! (And do let me know if any of these look horrid too). Thanks!</p> <p>1-4. Size 2.<br /> 4-8. Size 4.<br /> (The rest of these pics are with the size 4 skirt)<br /> 9. Cashmere mock neck sweater.<br /> 10-11. Teal v-neck cashmere sweater. Anthro belt.<br /> 12. Cranberry cowl neck and cream lace cami. Linea pelle belt. Fossil bag (which could also go with the teal sweater and the rust orange tops and pretty much everything...can you tell I'm in love with that bag!)<br /> 13. Rust orange peacoat (not sure about this)<br /> 14. Black tweed zip peacoat (I like this one)<br /> 15. Cropped faux fur (I don't think this works but tried it on for fun)<br /> 16. Rust orange mockneck shirt (too casual?)<br /> 17. Hinge mustard blouse semi tucked (see why I don't like waist surrender? Makes me look fat, right? And it's not even a full waist surrender!)<br /> 18. Teal ruched and ruffled sleeveless top (untucked but at least it's fitted)<br /> 19. Black fitted sleeveless cowl top with belt over<br /> 20-24. New black Ralph Lauren equestrian theme sleeveless pussy bow blouse from the Rack--isn't this perfect for this skirt? Which boot do you like--ankle brown laceup (20), knee high black (21), or brown suede wedge (22-23)?<br /> 25. Lemon Liftoff owl blouse.<br /> 26-27. Bee blouse. Another semitucked look that I think makes me look a little fat.<br /> 28. Green Dots Within blouse. I actually like this look a lot! Has a real 70's vibe to me. </p>
