Please show it again after it is shortened.</p> <p>Both outfits look good. I love to see fashion experiments and how great when one turns out so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2035747 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 16:55:24 +0000 Christina F. 2035747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy! </p> <p>The dress is definitely too long. I forgot to add that. The mirror and angle do it no favors as usual - looks better in person. But I want it to be a true midi nut it’s an almost maxi right now, until it goes to the tailor. I’m thinking of taking 3 inches off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2035743 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 16:37:25 +0000 Anonymous 2035743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina, you wear goldenrod very well. It gives you a glow and picks up the lighter sections of your hair. The Mary Tyler Moore pants also look good and work to create lovely proportions on you. The skirt is Wow.<br /> I am glad you ordered the top to make a two piece dress.<br /> The last dress in the photo you added could be shortened . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2035731 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 15:43:27 +0000 Christina F. 2035731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, fifthandfinest! </p> <p>I forgot that I added one more - a casual dress that I don’t have a find for. ETA - forgot to say that I want to shorten it.</p> <p>Found a link - will add find later.

My husband likes old school shows and that's one of his favorites, which is why it sticks in my mind.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks rachy, shevia, and DeAnna.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sara - I doubt I'll seek out too much yellow for the same reasons. This was more of a happy accident since I thought it skewed orange. It does, just less than I thought.</div><div><br /></div><div>Angie - that skirt is awesome. Since I just passed on a bunch of patterned skirts for being too tight, I was glad to get it. I did cave and ordered the top so I can make a "dress" too. :P<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2035064 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 14:00:29 +0000 hgr 2035064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your addition of color. &nbsp;Great job </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2035049 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 13:42:32 +0000 Angie 2035049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never say never is dead right.

Look good! I don’t get why they’re Mary Tyler Moore though. Did she wear pants like that in her TV show? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2034787 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 19:37:43 +0000 Christina F. 2034787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I don't think I can wear bright or pale yellows, Cardiff girl and suntiger. This deeper, orange-y color seems to be okay. Even my husband remarked on being surprised to see me in this color, though he agreed it looked good (thus showing despite his comments on my jumpsuit, he's not a total fashion dope.)</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks, Suz! Yes, blue and orange/yellow are wonderful together, as sports uniforms throughout history have shown us. Also, I kind of want the matching top to go with the skirt--I am thinking of you and your Liberty two piece dress. If so, I have to get rid of something else, as I have too many tops. But I see the appeal of a two piece dress for travel in particular. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2034756 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 17:49:00 +0000 Suz 2034756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brave you! These colours are so fun and energizing. No wonder they tempted you. And they work so well with the blues already in the closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2034737 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 16:45:05 +0000 Anonymous 2034737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jeans especially! Yellows are tricky for me too, though goldenrod works since the undertone is brown-orange. Most seem too light or something! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2034709 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 16:09:34 +0000 Cardiff girl 2034709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I m not great with yellow either having yellow hair but I would have thought that you could wear it and it does look great on you especially with that fab skirt and I love the metallic sneakers with that outfit.The jeans are a nice shape on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2034705 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 16:03:31 +0000 Christina F. 2034705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>bj1111 - the stock photo of the skirt is with a&nbsp; similar colored top. I don't know yet if I will find it to be too much, but since the tee shirt works with this skirt it earned its place. I have other tops for the orange skirt anyway.</div><div><br /></div><div>Taylor, I think it helps that there are so many more shades of colors available now than there were back when I formed my opinions 10+ years ago. Bright "true" yellow looks a fright on me, but it's one of the only colors that does, so I was never too sad about it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anchie - yikes! Maybe one of these days on a weekend ;)</div><div><br />Isabel, I just know that true yellow looks a fright on me. I am not good enough with colors to say if it is my skin tone or what... Also, these are my usual photo spots at work (bathroom and gym). The home photo situation for trying on new clothes won't be improving&nbsp; much, I'm afraid....<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2034689 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 15:34:36 +0000 Anonymous 2034689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These colors look great on you! <br />The details of your personal color analysis are interesting too. I thought that skin with significant yellow would theoretically be a more harmonious combination with warm colors?

So fun. Is it too much to wear with the orangey pocket tee? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/never-say-never-plus-skirt-challenge#post-2034658 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 14:45:41 +0000 Christina F. 2034658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I am not a warm color person generally, except that I do like reds and to some extent orange (the latter more aesthetically than in my wardrobe).</div><div>I don't like earth tones beyond olive. And I never wore yellow because my skin is already on the sallow side.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>Well, color me surprised (ha), but the recent spate of warm colors at retail has encouraged me to buy some things a bit outside my wheelhouse.</div><div><br /> </div><div>1. Rust red jeans- these really read more like pumpkin in real life than rust. I wore them yesterday and mentally called them my "Mary Tyler Moore pants." I'd been looking for wide cropped pants or jeans and these fit me the best. NB: Though I did the team wear thing, I suspect these really will need to be cropped a couple of inches and are on my pile to take to the tailor.</div><div><br /> </div><div>2. A yellow (!!!) shirt with new J Crew skirt. I got this to go with my orange skirt (see finds). It's a bit more yellow in person than I'd expected, more goldenrod. I guess I can wear goldenrod. It's a cheery color and coordinates well with this skirt, too. Angie said skirts count in the challenge, so here we go.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>3. Not shown - I got this very casual Lucky Brand striped top for high summer casual wear (NOT work). Will probably pair well with the jeans.</div><div><br /> </div><div>All these things work with navy. I have plenty of navy, so I'm not too worried about orphans. I don't plan to add anymore items like this right now, as these were definitely wildcards, but they're nice additions.<br /> </div><div></div> </p>
