You'll look good in spring versions, too, though, and I like the idea of wearing with your new big shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1431144 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 03:18:14 +0000 Jaime 1431144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks just right (but I would not let my legs freeze for it -or anything). I do think the skirt looks more like a skirt because of relative extra length, which makes a big difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1431022 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 23:55:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 1431022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit Shiny </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1431007 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 23:34:56 +0000 shiny 1431007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karymk, I agree. Come Spring these will work paired with a top in similar weight. Or even just a simple tee, with a jean jacket. I'm also going to try them with the Big Shirt I just got!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430980 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 23:01:21 +0000 karymk 1430980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the reg XS too and they are great, only a tiny bit too large in the hip. &nbsp;Like you, the petite was not the right proportion.</p> <p>Shiny I think you are going to love these come spring. &nbsp;You can do so much with them. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430959 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 22:30:03 +0000 Suz 1430959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you <b>look</b> terrific in this. But I totally hear you on the flimsy fabric issue. That was one reason I hesitated about the EFs. For our climate, they are tricky. Still, in certain years we get more "transitional" temps then we might expect, so with luck, you will find ways to get these beauties out of the house sometimes. I really like the whole outfit on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430941 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 22:02:32 +0000 gardenchick 1430941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! But agreed, they would probably work better for our California winter climate than winter in the Northeast. </p> <p>Really like them on you--inspires me to get a pair! I have them on my wish list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430921 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 21:06:37 +0000 Laurie 1430921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been avidly following this skirted legging odyssey and have to agree that this is one of the best looks so far. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430910 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 20:51:15 +0000 Lyn D. 1430910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is the best rendition I have seen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430855 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 19:47:57 +0000 Anonymous 1430855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fab! I love the length of the skirt on the leggings. Too bad about the thickness </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430853 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 19:43:01 +0000 rachylou 1430853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad they're too thin for your winter because they look seasonally right. You're another natural in these. I knew you'd be. Maybe some Uniqlo heattech tight under? They're smooth... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430776 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 17:16:43 +0000 shiny 1430776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alasse, the petite xs version definitely feels more like a skirt-vest/butt-vest. Not just because it's shorter but also because it's tighter/clingier. I have yet to return those or take off the tag. If I get motivated I can take some pics to show the difference.&nbsp;</p> <p>Tanya, I did consider adding fleece-lined tights underneath, but it bugs me that the skirt itself is still that flimsy weight fabric. I suspect I'd still feel seasonally confused.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, thanks! I do like this Vince sweater with it's color-blocking,&nbsp;but in retrospect I think it's just too chunky &amp;&nbsp;warm, upping the seasonally confused factor when paired with the EF leggings.&nbsp;But if&nbsp;I had a winter-weight wool skirt that fit right now, I would totally pair it with this sweater.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430760 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:51:37 +0000 Angie 1430760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer,&nbsp;Jennifer. I like the length of the skirt on the leggings&nbsp;on your 5ft self. You've also created a great vertical line with the pullover and boots. Nicely done. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430736 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:27:54 +0000 Joyce B 1430736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you. I think they will make fab Spring garments. They will not hold their own by themselves on a Winter day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430735 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:26:12 +0000 Tanya 1430735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable Shiny!&nbsp; I think that these work very well for you and your figure.&nbsp; Would adding fleece-lined tights make them more wearable in the cold weather?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430728 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:17:01 +0000 Alassë 1430728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these work on you. Your height probably helps prevent the skirt-vest feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-skirted-legging-experiment#post-1430722 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:11:23 +0000 shiny 1430722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my skirted legging experiment from last week. These are the EF leggings in regular XS - the skirt is longer on those. I also tried the petite XS but felt the skirt was much too short for my comfort zone.&nbsp;</p> <p>As I mentioned on Suz's thread, while I like the proportions and the idea, I felt totally "seasonally confused" wearing this out of the house! My top half was toasty warm while the bottom half froze. The legging material is much too thin for winter. Therefore this outfit was a "flop" to me. </p> <p>In a fleece lined version with more substantial skirting material... I'd be interested in that!</p> <p>I am keeping the EF&nbsp;leggings regardless, for upgrade to loungewear and also I will experiment some more in the spring, when these will be more appropriate for our weather around here.&nbsp; </p>
