Please shorten the skirt :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-111053 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:30:49 +0000 JennyK (NC) 111053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at your blog and see that you have 38 long skirts! I'm not opposed to long skirts per se, but I wonder if one of the reasons you find so many at the thrift shops is because they aren't "in" right now. I agree with queenie that you never know what might be the rage next year!</p> <p>In the end though, I think that if you feel confident and fabulous in them, you are likely to look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-111026 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 17:17:50 +0000 Secondhand Shopaholic 111026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love you all!!! It's like having one of those best friends standing with me in the dressing room who is going to tell me honestly yay or nay!</p> <p>But my long skirt habit will be very hard to break. .Maya, though, I will take it to heart that this can be cured, as you mentioned another long skirt wearer was cured.</p> <p>Thanks Greatsmile for the compliment....since you have seen my post, you probably know that I have recently bought some new short skirts..... :)</p> <p>Thanks again for all the feedback. This was my first post in this forum....so look out! I have a TON of fashion questions...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110987 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:58:44 +0000 RoseandJoan 110987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely belted, would you consider tucking a top into the skirt? I do very much like the fabric of the skirt. </p> <p>I think the dark colour of the tartan along with the dark boots creates the illusion of length. Belting the look ensures your proportions are okay.</p> <p>What do you think of midi length skirts?<br /> <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/trends/2009-spring-summer/090701-midi-skirts-fashion-trend.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion.....trend.aspx</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110981 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:47:52 +0000 rute 110981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Long skirts are tricky.. you can wear it if you are tall, if not stay away!<br /> No one in Europe uses long skirts, I think they are not very fashionable right now.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110977 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:22:10 +0000 Queen Mum 110977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>belt definitley.<br /> and we could all be eating our words and wearing long skirts within the next couple of years- so consider yourself fashion forward </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110976 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:18:53 +0000 Boof 110976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say that I love this look:</p> <p><a href="http://www1.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?zoomImage=94077024&#038;id=prdi23686&#038;catId=cat80016&#038;rootCategory=cat70008&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat70008&#038;section=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www1.talbots.com/online.....on=Regular</a></p> <p>If I happened to be about 6 ft. tall and rail thin like the model, it might work for me. I'm not, so I'm admiring it from afar. I love long skirts too but have found that they're just not very flattering on my body. I do much better with things that hit right at the knee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110944 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:45:23 +0000 greatsmile82 110944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belt and I agree with Maya and Tanya about the long skirts. I noticed a couple pictures in the photostream of you in shorter skirts and you look great! I particularly liked the grey one with the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110935 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 04:54:45 +0000 Christie 110935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110930 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 04:30:28 +0000 AJ 110930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it belted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110875 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:14:09 +0000 Tanya 110875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belt definitely!</p> <p>And I am afraid that I 100% agree with what Maya has said. That skirt would be gorgeous on you if you hemmed it to the knee length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110862 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:46:50 +0000 Maya 110862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you didn't ask, but I have to say it anyway: Belt or no belt, that skirt is just not flattering on you Sorry. I just feel like unless you have some sort of religious restriction, this kind of length is never going to work. Can I ask why it is that you are so fond of long skirts? Do you have any knee length skirts? </p> <p>We had another member here who used to be very attached to her long skirts when she first started posting, but has since very happily swapped them out for knee length. I wish she still posted because she could probably convince you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110860 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:36:41 +0000 JennyK (NC) 110860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-friend-or-foe#post-110856 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:31:04 +0000 Secondhand Shopaholic 110856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I have started watching this blog (and starting my own) I have looked at my wardrobe differently. One thing I've realized, is that I wear a heck of a lot of long skirts. I don't see them too often on fashion blogs. </p> <p>It would kill me if someone said I need to stay away from long skirts - I absolutely love them. This is the outfit I wore today, and i literally fell in love with this skirt as I sat in a meeting......as usual, my mind was wandering and as usual, I ended up thinking about clothes, fashion, what I was wearing....</p> <p>So even though the title of this post implies I'm going to ask about wearing long skirts, I'm not going to because I'm afraid of the answer. So let me ask this - belt or no belt?</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44383234@N08/4185786939/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....185786939/</a> </p>
