For fall, it would look great with some boots,or tights and flats. What a great $4 find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newish-denim-skirt#post-1107923 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 19:17:58 +0000 Anonymous 1107923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you, and not too tight at all! Your tummy looks smooth and flat. I think you'll find this very versatile all summer, and how great that you op shopped it! The same thing happens with me and skirts like this and usually I just deal with it (the dreaded skirt creep). You could take in the waist, but then you'd loose some length. I think it's more about the design of the pencil skirt in general that causes them to ride up. I remember wearing dirndyls and A-lines that had a separate waistband back in the day, and never had them shift around. Anyway, this skirt will be great for work and you can dress it down for casual. I love the outfit you've shown here with the necklace; perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newish-denim-skirt#post-1107894 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 18:57:16 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1107894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fantastic on you! &nbsp; &nbsp;Although having to continually adjust the waist would eventually be a deal-breaker for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newish-denim-skirt#post-1107545 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 04:10:02 +0000 Suz 1107545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see an hourglass, too! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Glad you found the skirt without the front zip. See how much smoother it makes you look? I knew it was the zipper, not you, that was the issue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newish-denim-skirt#post-1107456 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 01:59:51 +0000 Debra 1107456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a really good fit but if it creeps up, that would annoy the heck out of me. A denim skirt is a great basic to have. I really like your necklace </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newish-denim-skirt#post-1106115 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 14:23:45 +0000 Lisa 1106115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun skirt and I like it with the topper too. I find skirts that are big in the waist creep up when I walk. Perhaps you need a waist alteration? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newish-denim-skirt#post-1105986 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:21:44 +0000 Sharon 1105986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the skirt looks good, Anne - not too tight to my eye. That outfit gives you a very hourglass shape. I know you were suggesting in another thread that you might be a rectangle, but I can definitely see a waist in this combination! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newish-denim-skirt#post-1105972 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 06:43:56 +0000 Gigi 1105972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good. I like my above-the-knee skirts to be tight, so your skirt doesn't look too tight to me. :^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newish-denim-skirt#post-1105913 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 04:33:22 +0000 anne 1105913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks K. I agree it is a work horse. I wore my last one (bought 5 years ago) a great deal, and still wear it, but I was annoyed by the way the front zip made my tummy look.</p> <p>Do you think it looks too tight around the thighs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newish-denim-skirt#post-1105740 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 01:44:07 +0000 K. Period. 1105740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt! A denim pencil skirt is such a work horse. &nbsp;I definitely vote keep.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newish-denim-skirt#post-1105712 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 01:07:15 +0000 anne 1105712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this skirt a few months ago, but felt I needed to lose a few pounds before wearing it so this is it's first outing. I had been looking for ages for a straight denim kirt with no front zip<br />Your comments and criticism are welcome. It was $4 from the op shop so no great loss if it is rejected. One thing annoys me about it already, but on reflection it is a problem that occurs with many skirts: it fits perfectly on my hips until I start walking and then it creeps up to my natural waist, where it is too loose.</p> <p>I don't think this jacket works too well - it is just for the A/C </p>
