Gigi on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292741 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 23:51:08 +0000 Gigi 1292741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha ha, merwoman, you'd better watch your back because Angie might knock you off to get your skirt! (Just kidding!) Seriously, that skirt looks really great on you! I love the lightweight look of the fabric. merwoman on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292732 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 23:40:46 +0000 merwoman 1292732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Many thanks Celeste and Inge!

I see a very happy future for you and that new fabulous skirt!! merwoman on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292531 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 19:14:50 +0000 merwoman 1292531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pil and Diane, thanks for chiming in with your positive comments! Eliza - your thoughts make perfect sense to me, and I feel the urge to go a little against the grain as far as my body type goes.  Definitely a skill I'd like to work on. And Angie!!!! Your sweet words are so timely! I feel it is a huge shift for me and your encouragement helps me wear this style with confidence. Scurrying off to revise will....;-) I like the 'neutral feet as well Rachylou,-  feel that it calls less attention to whitish legs. Than you Inge! Comfort factor is through the roof - which really surprises me. And heck when the comfort factor has been met, and style goals have been achieved, it's happiness all around!

I like the *neutral feet* with the dark skirt. This skirt is a great way to nudge your style. Goes perfectly.

Pass it onto me in your will.  You wear this skirt soooooo well - huge departure for you. LOVE. xo merwoman on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292329 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:15:11 +0000 merwoman 1292329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you ladies for your comments and suggestions! Agree with you Kate, I feel like the ying and the yang are in balance. Great suggestion Zibbets - I've tried it with a black cami, and I like the effect. Alas, no black sandals, but perhaps that's a wardrobe hole needing filling :-) Appreciate the thumbs up Tanya, I always admire how you are able to incorporate softness into your outfits. When do we leave Adelfa? This skirt would look so good on you! Brilliant suggestions Suz! The tops I have in citron and cobalt do not work well (to my eye), but I'm thinking that just might mean another shopping opportunity, and heaven knows we could all use more of those :-). Despite the rather flimsy material of the skirt, I think it could transition to fall, so will definitely use your jacket ideas. Eliza on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292326 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:13:34 +0000 Eliza 1292326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love you in this silhouette.  Great the way friends can inspire us.  I have a bit of fascination with the hard/soft dichotomy in terms of fashion and body type, as well as how those variables intersect or impact style choices. Sometimes what I gravitate to isn't in full harmony with my body type.  That can be a refreshing juxtaposition or a nuisance, depending...  It is also where YLFers often use their fashion skills, creativity and talent to maximum advantage.  Apologies for the barely formulated ramblings.  Like Suz's additional styling ideas.  Anonymous on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292314 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:06:05 +0000 Anonymous 1292314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful skirt and styled beautifully. Love it! I echo some of Suz's brilliant suggestions too. pil on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292312 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:05:37 +0000 pil 1292312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz and the others have good suggestions so all I'll say is that I really like this on you! Suz on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292300 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:59:11 +0000 Suz 1292300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful skirt and it looks gorgeous on!  I like it with the top you are wearing.  A little later (when it cools down) it will look lovely with the right welted knit top.  It might also pair well with a moto type jacket or a boxy, angular jacket like the one Angie got from Zara.  I might try it with a sleeveless turtleneck, if you have such a thing. (Strangely enough, I do).  You can also top with a cropped denim jacket.  I'd love to see it with colour also. Cobalt, cranberry, berry....citron, if that works for you? You do wear it, I know.... Adelfa on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292280 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:16:20 +0000 Adelfa 1292280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I love that skirt, and I love it on you! You have styled it well, and I really love those shoes with it. I think what I might try next is more softness up above. A fluid tee might be too soft for you, but how about a woven silk tee? Anyway I think the skirt is brilliant, (planning a trip to Milan.... :-; ) Tanya on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292279 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:06:12 +0000 Tanya 1292279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful skirt!  This soft outfit suits you really well. Zibbets on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292278 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:05:01 +0000 Zibbets 1292278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great skirt! I love how you styled it here. I think long, close-fitting black top would be great with it as well. I'd try it with a black sandal with a heel.

This looks great. I really like it with that too, you brought the male and female into balance. merwoman on "New Silhouette" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette#post-1292255 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 13:25:26 +0000 merwoman 1292255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's lovely to have the resident photographer home to snap an outdoor pic on Canada Day! I spent a few weeks in Italy with a dear friend whose style is polar opposite to mine. DF is all about softness, femininity and subtle sensuality. I am more crisp, androgynous, and hard edged. DF's body type is far more lush than mine, and it was fascinating to see how the same garment could look completely different on both of us. I came away from that trip with a desire to incorporate some softness into my style and maybe pull back a wee bit from the pronouced androgyneity that marks my style. So today I am debuting a pleated polka dot skirt that I purchased in Milan. This skirt is indeed as comfortable as wearing shorts, and I think it may get a lot of wear. Does it work? Would greatly appreciate any styling tips in terms of tops and footwear!
