Way different proportion than the hanger shot implied. Good choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1364282 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 17:08:30 +0000 catgirl 1364282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I am going to try the skirt over skinnies look for real too - this skirt shape seems perfect for it, and I know you have similar ones.&nbsp; This was a happy accident. </p> <p>The skirt did come home with me.&nbsp; I can see it looks cheerleader-y on the hanger but I am not tall enough for that to happen.&nbsp; Thanks for all the help deciding! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1364073 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 06:16:31 +0000 Neel 1364073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you! Fantastic color on you IMO. And I am sure you can make it look grown up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1364069 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 06:03:43 +0000 fern 1364069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it's a warrior mini. I really like it - with the drapey gray &amp; black to toughen it up.<br />Zinfandel </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1364063 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 05:44:51 +0000 Diana 1364063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way, I think you might have solved a dilemma I've been having. I have this handknit skirt in a similar shape that I didn't wear much last winter because it's just a little too short for my taste now, and even with leggings I wasn't really feeling it.&nbsp; But now I'm going to try it with skinnies underneath!&nbsp; Don't know why I never thought to pair a skirt with skinnies when I've been wearing dresses over them all along.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1364057 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 05:32:26 +0000 sparlingo 1364057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you've garnered a lot of responses! I'll throw my voice into the mix and say go for it. Looks like it fits well, I love the colour, and the print is subtle enough that it won't inhibit the versatility of the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1364053 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 05:23:34 +0000 Deborah 1364053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, thanks for extra pics. &nbsp;Did you buy it? &nbsp;I love it on you! &nbsp;I find citron can read as very modern and edgy. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1364048 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 05:14:47 +0000 Beth Ann 1364048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in it, Una.&nbsp; It's fun and cheeky -- not frilly and sweet.&nbsp; Is it perhaps a wildcard? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1364031 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 04:29:58 +0000 MsLuna 1364031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, yes!!!! The warrior mini look! So you're actually wearing skinnies underneath? It looks good! I might experiment with the skirt + skinnies look as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1364030 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 04:25:32 +0000 Echo 1364030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still at work?!? Although that was 53 minutes ago, that would still have made it after 10 pm. Wait... Pacific time would mean it was after 8 pm, and that is STILL too late! That is totally wrong; I boycott workplaces that have employees working past 8 pm on a Friday! Have a glass of wine - you deserve it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1364023 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 04:16:30 +0000 Elly 1364023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I work Saturdays-- love the citron and mini-ness the combined fabrication, pattern/texture and pleats reminds me of Dionne or Cher from Clueless. No liquor on board here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1364015 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 04:07:29 +0000 Diana 1364015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you!&nbsp; I was worried seeing it on the hanger that it would be too short and cheerleader-y but I think it's actually a good length on you, and not cheerleader-y at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1364013 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 04:03:29 +0000 amiable 1364013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I liked it before, but wasn't sure on the pattern. &nbsp;But it's stunning on you, and I hope you got it :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1364003 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 03:49:12 +0000 Anonymous 1364003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot in the pics, although I do see what Anna's saying about the cable knit. It looks like it fits you great and sounds like it's cheap enough that it's worth experimenting with.</p> <p>9 percent ABV&nbsp;beer on my end, FWIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363998 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 03:39:45 +0000 catgirl 1363998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, MKK!&nbsp; After reading your post on liking minis I felt better about this -the shape and color are so appealing to me.&nbsp; I even kind of like it over these skinnies!&nbsp; Could be a kind of warrior mini-skirt look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363996 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 03:37:47 +0000 MsLuna 1363996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First reaction: OMG CUTE! I actually don't mind the texture/pattern. Some pretty fun styling can be done here. Whatever top and boots you're wearing in the photo actually works!</p> <p>As a fellow IT, I totally get why you would wear colour at the bottom. It is a balancing act! Though despite bring IT and apple to boot, I still wear colour above because it lights up the face. I do have a pair of red skinnies and a red skirt so... I TOTALLY GET IT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363993 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 03:28:04 +0000 columbine(erin) 1363993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363992 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 03:24:56 +0000 catgirl 1363992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was not pricey, especially for a Milly item and with credit. Worth playing around with boots and tights. You all are hilarious! I'm still at work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363989 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 03:21:19 +0000 Suz 1363989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's not pricey and you want to experiment, I would go for it. It looks great on you and would be a lot of fun. (Wine worn off by now, FWIW.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363932 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 02:26:18 +0000 Anonymous 1363932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this skirt looks awesome on you. It really complements your hair and skintone and would look great paired with heather grays, navy and white. It adds a a lot of femininity (i'd keep the gold buttons--so Milly!) and proportionally, is perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363923 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 02:15:53 +0000 Echo 1363923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! Okay, ETA, into some spiked punch this Friday evening, and it looks even better on. Different from anything I've seen you wear, Una, but fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363919 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 02:12:52 +0000 Jeanie 1363919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you. &nbsp;I think the fabric look Chanel-esque. &nbsp;Which I think is more timeless than retro. &nbsp;You look happy in it too. &nbsp;Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363917 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 02:11:21 +0000 Tina 1363917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you remove the gold buttons and wear it with a fairly plain dark top (as in the pics) you will ward off the girly vibes.<br /> Is the cost such that you can afford to experiment with it for a month or 2? It would sure breath some light and life into our long dark winters. It looks fun to me. Sure it would look even better if it was a plain tweed but this is great too!<br /> ETA: this is a no wine consumption response. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363874 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 01:27:30 +0000 ironkurtin 1363874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't do it but it's clearly calling to you, so I say make it work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363872 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 01:26:07 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1363872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well... Speaking as one who is into a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon... I think it looks really great. It is very balancing to your body type (not that I think you really need the balancing, as I've always envied your type, being the opposite of mine and all). I think the style could read girly, but your styling of it, both here and in other incarnations I can imagine, are decidedly not girly. I think that some of my favorite RATE looks are ones that take something soft and make it rough. I also find this color tougher than if it were in baby pink or something similar. Maybe that's just me, though (or the wine?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363819 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 00:10:51 +0000 thimblelina 1363819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha mo I'm right behind you. Friday night tipsy feedback anyone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363790 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 23:34:01 +0000 Echo 1363790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In many cases, I would say this piece looks too vintage to be current. However, after seeing your WIW posts for a while, I have absolutely no doubt that the way YOU would style this skirt would be current. I am not sure you have a dated/frumpy bone in your body. Indeed, I would LOVE to see what you could do with this skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363788 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 23:31:42 +0000 Mo 1363788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first reaction was 'meh'. &nbsp;But I'm admittedly into a bottle of chianti so you could disregard at will! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milly-citron-miniskirt---yay-or-nay#post-1363787 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 23:31:37 +0000 columbine(erin) 1363787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I hope you post a pic wearing it. It's hard to visualize otherwise. Since you have tough boots and dark tops I think it won't be too girly. </p>
