Your outfit looks fab though - I like the juxtaposition of the floaty skirt with the 'harder' material of the boots </p> <p>As for epiphanies, this sounds silly (because I've been living in HK since 2015) but I've *finally* accepted that I no longer need to buy for a 'proper' winter climate. So this summer, I dropped all heavy items (like coats) back home (to the UK). Talk about looong overdue! </p> <p>I now keep just one wool coat &amp; pair of kneehigh boots here, *just* in case. Otherwise it's all 'transitional' items that I can layer for my milder, subtropical climate (like cropped blazers &amp; merino underlayers). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirt-epiphany#post-2291725 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 07:34:24 +0000 Katerina 2291725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful combination! The skirt and sweater have been made for each other. I love the black boots and bag with it. So fun to discover new ways to combine your clothes, especially pieces that have not got much wear. I have not been very creative with my outfits lately, but I have a couple of new things I am planning to make an outfit session. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirt-epiphany#post-2291715 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 05:53:34 +0000 Sally 2291715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this combination and the pink top works well with the skirt.&nbsp; It looks stylish but effortless.&nbsp; It great when you find new combinations for what we already have.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirt-epiphany#post-2291710 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 05:31:15 +0000 Bijou 2291710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great outfit! I have moved to working from home and previously my office appropriate work uniform was a shift dress, cropped jacket and pumps. My epiphany was that I still like my preferred combination of dress and jacket - but now it is a less form fitting dress with a slightly oversized blazer or casual jacket and ankle boots - a similar combination, just a bit more casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirt-epiphany#post-2291706 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 05:03:39 +0000 Jonesy 2291706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab combo! The skirt looks lovely with your new sweater--a match made in heaven! Hmm, my own epiphany...I am rediscovering my love for blazers, after not wearing them for a few years (partly because of Covid-related working from home, but before that too), and so I guess my epiphany is that blazers are fab and can be thrown on over everything and feel really good :). Basic, but true! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirt-epiphany#post-2291694 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 02:54:02 +0000 Jaime 2291694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit! My biggest epiphany is that no one is paying nearly as much attention to what I wear as I am. It is very freeing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirt-epiphany#post-2291693 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 02:51:21 +0000 JAileen 2291693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit! &nbsp;It’s nice when you start wearing something after s while of not wearing it - it’s like going shopping for free. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirt-epiphany#post-2291680 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 01:05:55 +0000 Dee 2291680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback.<br /><b>SF, Whidbeygirl</b>,&nbsp;it certainly is fun to discover new ways to update older pieces.<br /><b>Sal,&nbsp;</b>So true about epiphanies with new colour combos, and I agree about remaining true to who you are, that is important with all the style choices out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirt-epiphany#post-2291679 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 00:58:54 +0000 Jenn 2291679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like you bought them to go together!

Being true yo ourselves is so good, because it is what makes it possible to reach into the closet and pull out something from years ago to go with our latest find, like this. I love when that happens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirt-epiphany#post-2291582 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 18:47:25 +0000 Dee 2291582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by last week's post on festive skirts, it suddenly dawned on me that the pink Old Navy sweater I just bought recently might work well with my plum patterned skirt that has sat unworn in my closet for the last few years. I would usually pair it with either a black or grey top but boy, I really much prefer this pink with it, and I'm really liking the fuzzy/looseness of this sweater combined with the slim/ jerseyness (?) of this skirt.</p> <p>And although it seems like a no brainer to add tall boots to this outfit, it never actually occurred to me to even consider wearing this skirt in winter, kinda silly really when I think about it now.</p> <p>Anyways, I just love discovering new ways to wear to my clothes and I was wondering what sort of fashion epiphanies others may have had? </p>
