Love the bubble skirt the most but I also love the tube skirt. You are a master at skirts!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398830 Thu, 13 Nov 2025 12:20:54 +0000 lyn67 2398830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want both your "costco" skirt and the one with an onion shape!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398821 Thu, 13 Nov 2025 02:25:05 +0000 Cookie 2398821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol I think I’ve had that cardigan since 1998. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398819 Thu, 13 Nov 2025 02:13:38 +0000 Carol 2398819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a fitted peplum top with the tube skirt? Also, the second photo with that skirt features one of the button-up cardigans on trend. That is cute, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398818 Thu, 13 Nov 2025 01:34:20 +0000 Cookie 2398818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone, I’m still working on integrating the tube skirt into my life! I just went to the other thrift store and acquired a boxy, cropped-ish maroon sweatshirt that seemed cute in the moment but, as previously suspected, it makes me look like a blob. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398814 Thu, 13 Nov 2025 01:31:04 +0000 Jaime 2398814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great haul! My favorites (more my mood today) are the tube skirt outfits. Altogether, exactly my vision of using thrifting to create very current outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398795 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 21:12:54 +0000 Ket 2398795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my lands!!! The tube skirt if FABULOUS on you!! It's your best look out of all the skirts!! Try it with more tops. I would keep it and wear the heck out of it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398784 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:53:49 +0000 Roberta 2398784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love the long tube skirt. Such a different silhouette for you and it looks fantastic! And I second Angie, try a boxy sweater or jacket and see what you think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398779 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:25:57 +0000 Cookie 2398779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can sort of imagine a cropped, boxy top with some sort of interesting hem shape, but the Eileen Fisher site shows this or a similar style with a sort of loose, hip-length boring sweater and in my humble opinion it looks absolutely dreadful even on the model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398776 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:21:09 +0000 Carol 2398776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great, but my favorite would have to be skirt 2--the column. Those skirts, though seeming tight, are a secret weapon for curvy hips. That silhouette is my best skirt. Also loving the bubble. What a fun thing to have.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398775 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:17:25 +0000 Cookie 2398775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, that would require more thrifting, haha. I don’t think I have any boxy top because, as you suggest, it is really not my thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398774 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 15:49:58 +0000 Angie 2398774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your crowns are different :)</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b> is Queen Skirt, and our FIRST coronation because she's been on YLF for more than a decade!&nbsp;<b>Cookie </b>is Queen Skirt and Dress!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Cookie</b>, try a boxy top over the tube skirt. Like a big sweater. Out of your comfort zone. I'd love to see that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398772 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 15:35:13 +0000 Cookie 2398772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will arm-wrestle you for the crown, Brooklyn! I have some wrap tops and will try that out. Sadly those boots are on their last legs but I will always have boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398758 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 10:37:53 +0000 Brooklyn 2398758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds. Are you trying to steal my Queen Skirt crown?</p> <p>I like the first skirt and the tube skirt the best.</p> <p>I think the tube skirt looks great with those boots. You could lean into the bombshell look with a wrap top. Or you could de-bombshell it with an oversized coat or jacket, or a long cardigan or long coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398753 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 08:43:53 +0000 Sisi 2398753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like a lot the tube skirt on you! I like how you styled it - white perforated sweater (we are sweater twins today ) with the layering piece that peeks out and the cognac booties.&nbsp; Also like very much the bubble hem skirt. You look fab!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398751 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 06:32:25 +0000 Kate 2398751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great bubble skirt, Cookie, and the Lisa Bayne piece is really nice. Great colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398746 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 04:39:59 +0000 Star (Lise) 2398746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bubble skirt is my favourite too. I have also taken note recently of these and am intrigued. I do remember them from the 80s. That ceramic pottery piece is cool. The EF skirt is a good piece too. I like my tube skirts with baggier and slouchier tops. But I don't have an enviable waist like yours. The skirt in 4/5 is cool, black and white is always a favourite of mine. So, great finds! The boots are cool and edgy. Your niece seems like a good shopping partner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398745 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 03:21:43 +0000 Cookie 2398745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, Angie! Open to suggestions on how to wear the tube skirt because it is not my usual thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398744 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 03:05:30 +0000 Angie 2398744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! Fun haul.</p> <p><b>Cookie,</b>&nbsp;you look KILLER in the tube skirt! Love the de-bombshell effect of the cognac western boots! And the length is elegant! AWESOME :)&nbsp;</p> <p>The crinkle mesh midaxi looks smashingly autumnal!</p> <p>The bubble skirt is all sorts of fabulous! Wear it every day.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398741 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 01:37:40 +0000 Cookie 2398741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does one really need an occasion? I think it could easily be casualized. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398740 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 01:36:22 +0000 Cookie 2398740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Non-clothing bonus:</p> <p>1. This tall pottery piece is unmarked and could be mass-produced for all I know but I was smitten with it.</p> <p>2. Vintage Franciscan ware apple bowl. This has a crack I didn’t notice till I washed it. Also, my thought was to use it to hold scarves or socks or tights or something but it fits like three thin scarves. (There are rocks in my head where the capacity for visually estimating volume is supposed to go.) So … FAIL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398739 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 01:34:50 +0000 LJP 2398739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the bubble skirt ! I keep seeing them in my social media feeds …..and I’m intrigued - if only I actually had an occasion to wear one . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-skirt-thriftapalooza#post-2398738 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 01:32:18 +0000 Cookie 2398738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the day (mostly) off and my partner did not so of course I went to the giant Goodwill. Styled almost randomly because I am lazy:</p> <p>1. Crinkly mesh skirt, Lisa Bayne. Loving this for year-round wear.</p> <p>2-3. Wool (merino?) tube skirt, Eileen Fisher. This might not be the greatest silhouette on my hippy self but it is a $5 experiment. Seems in great condition.</p> <p>4-5. I think this is some random skirt they might sell at Costco. Does it fill a unique niche? No. Is it comfy, machine washable, and $2.50? Yes. With Frye ankle boots I let niece convince me looked good at an overpriced consignment shop. Not sure whether they do.</p> <p>6-8. Poplin (?) bubble hem skirt, XCVI. Couldn’t resist. </p>
