Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119842 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 23:59:43 +0000 Suz 1119842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, you look super in either of the final versions! And what fun and what an education&nbsp;to go through this process with you and Angie! Thank you both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119767 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 22:07:41 +0000 Diana 1119767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will. &nbsp;Have a great time in Vegas, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119750 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 21:48:27 +0000 Angie 1119750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was fun helping you, Diana. You were "my client" this morning. I'm glad you're sorted. Sounds like you're going for the&nbsp;opaques for practical reasons too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will miss Monday's post because we are&nbsp;away in Vegas&nbsp;for the week. But keep it for me for when I return next weekend. Have a ball. xo</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119747 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 21:44:17 +0000 Diana 1119747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, Angie. I'm slightly worried about looking TOO dressy though. But I am leaning toward the black tights and booties for a couple of reasons:<br /> -the tights are warmer than nude hose.<br /> -it's easier to SIT in opaque tights because I don't have to worry about the slit on the skirt falling open too much.</p> <p>Thanks for all your help! I'll stop bothering you now... Will show you all the finished product on Monday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119700 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:58:42 +0000 Angie 1119700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black top makes a world of difference. Well done.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a personal&nbsp;preference for the hose and black booties option because the combination is&nbsp;dressier and more ladylike. But the red booties option is fun and gets my thumbs up too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119680 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:46:51 +0000 Diana 1119680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, with the right top (a plain black tee) and the red booties, or with the black tights and black booties photoshopped in. &nbsp;Curious what you think of the bare legs (would be nude hose really)/red booties with this outfit. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119675 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:43:00 +0000 Angie 1119675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are there. Take a pic when you're dolled up for the event so that we can see the final outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119668 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:35:30 +0000 Diana 1119668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I paper dolled the right tights and booties into the photo. &nbsp;Sorry, i refuse to put on tights right now. &nbsp;Especially THOSE tights. &nbsp;They look great but are a pain to put on (stupid control top).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119665 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:31:00 +0000 Angie 1119665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not an issue at all. The light in the photos was making the blacks&nbsp;look extra "off" if you know what I mean.&nbsp;</p> <p>OKAY. Now lets see the right top with all the finishing touches.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119657 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:22:19 +0000 Diana 1119657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sparkly top is too gold-toned, I think.&nbsp; It's also a little itchy, so I'm thinking just plain black is better. &nbsp;LOL, there was a reason why that top was going to get donated. &nbsp;</p> <p>Even minus the sparkly top,&nbsp;NONE of the blacks match actually. &nbsp;Is that an issue? &nbsp;The skirt is not actually black, it's a dark charcoal. &nbsp;The black in the jacket is black, but it's got a satin sheen to it. &nbsp;My black opaque tights and booties are VERY black. &nbsp;If I wear a black tee, I have like 6 to choose from so that is not a problem.</p> <p></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119654 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:17:20 +0000 Angie 1119654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>( I remember your little black kitten heel pumps very well).&nbsp;</p> <p>Push up the sleeves of #7 -&nbsp;which I think is #6 - and you're sorted. I'm assuming that all the blacks match irl.</p> <p>Lets see the outfit finished off with hose, footwear and clutch. We have a winner on the horizon.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119652 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:10:41 +0000 Diana 1119652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, no pumps, period. &nbsp;I do have black kitten heels but I don't want to wear them as&nbsp;I will most likely&nbsp;have a ride there but I may be taking the subway/walking home.&nbsp;&nbsp; I will most likely be wearing the black booties in photo #5. &nbsp;I could wear my red fluevog booties, which might be fun. &nbsp;Probably either my red clutch or my red studded purse. &nbsp; What do you think of outfit #7? &nbsp;Or do you think I should just wear one of my many fitted black tees and call it a day? &nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119645 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:05:45 +0000 Janet 1119645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking along the same lines as Angie -- the flowered blazer looks great with the skirt, but I think a simple, sleek black top with a simple neckline&nbsp;under the blazer will&nbsp;work best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119641 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:02:09 +0000 Angie 1119641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. That's my vision.&nbsp;Diana, your lace jacket isn't all black - just to split hairs. Remind me - you don't have silver pumps, do you? I think you have black. And you have fun clutches.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119640 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 19:59:06 +0000 Diana 1119640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I added another outfit with a fitted&nbsp;metallic gold/black top. &nbsp;I don't actually like this top (it was in the donate pile and has fit issues) but it's OK when tucked and hidden under a jacket. &nbsp;What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119620 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 19:39:03 +0000 Diana 1119620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, Angie, just to be clear, you are talking about lace jacket + black top + bubble skirt + black hose and booties? &nbsp;No color at all? &nbsp;I really did not want to go all black for the holidays! &nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: You are right, the no jacket versions are just to show how the tops look. I will not be wearing either of them alone&nbsp;IRL, although I would like the option to remove the jacket if it's warm at the venue. &nbsp;This is why I am not crazy about #5, the cami is very skimpy and it cannot be worn without a jacket.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119618 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 19:37:04 +0000 Angie 1119618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun. xo</p> <p>I think #2 has <b>great</b> potential - probably my fave -&nbsp;if you build a column of colour underneath it. A sleek black tucked top is required to my eye.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Love #2 and #3, but I think you'll freeze.&nbsp;</p> <p>Note: Remember that Diana is not wearing hose and booties/pumps yet. Imagine the tops with those finishing touches.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-potential-bubble-skirt-outfits-volume-on-volume-edition#post-1119614 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 19:19:46 +0000 Diana 1119614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trying out more potential holiday outfits with my bubble skirt, this time using a couple of new tops I just received. &nbsp;I tried both with my Bellatrix jacket because Angie suggested I try that jacket last time. &nbsp;The jacket is slightly too long to wear unbuttoned but I think it's OK with the bubble skirt when it's closed. &nbsp;ETA: Please note that I WILL have to have a jacket, as it's too cold for just a top. I would like the option to remove the jacket if the venue is warm though.</p> <p>1-2: This is a mixed media voluminous Michael Stars&nbsp;top. &nbsp;It's silk in front and jersey in back. &nbsp;Too long to wear untucked with this skirt, but I think it tucks nicely. &nbsp;</p> <p>3-4: I don't really think this one works but I'm showing it anyway. &nbsp;This is a Halogen peplum shell that I recently got from Nordies'. &nbsp;I love that the peplum is done with vertical rather than horizontal seaming. &nbsp;I'm planning on wearing it tomorrow with trousers for another holiday event tomorrow. &nbsp;</p> <p>5: An outfit from my previous round of potential outfits with this skirt. &nbsp;Most people liked this one best out of that set (minus the belt). &nbsp;I could use this jacket with the other outfits instead. &nbsp;I thought the lace print jacket was a little too busy with the print of the cami here.</p> <p>So what do you think? &nbsp;Anything a winner here? </p> <p>ETA: The thing I would be wearing this to is a holiday music concert at Symphony Hall at night. &nbsp;People usually dress up in festive but not super dressy&nbsp;attire. &nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: Added one more (#6). &nbsp;Angie suggested a sleek black top. &nbsp;I didn't want to do all black, but I remembered I had this sheer metallic black/gold top in the donate bag. &nbsp;I don't like it on its own but under the jacket it's fine. &nbsp;I need to remember to push the sleeves of the top up though!</p>
