I vote return on that. I'm on the fence with the leather midi...I wonder how much use you would get out of it after a season or two? Will it feel dated sooner than say, a straighter, knee-length style would? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464474 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:59:35 +0000 Aida 464474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color and shape of the skirt for you, but am unsure about the fit on the hips as others have commented. I have a hard time with skirts though, let alone leather skirts. The cardigan is overwhelming you unfortunately, but the print is pretty cool. Maybe keep an eye out for a similar print in a flyaway style that's high-thigh length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464259 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:46:40 +0000 goldenpig 464259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately they didn't have a 4 in my store so I would have to order it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464240 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:26:39 +0000 catgirl 464240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GP, I notice some comments on the fit at the hips... This skirt said it ran large but I got my regular size (for waist reasons). Maybe the 4 would hang better? I can hitch the skirt up or down a little, and the leather will conform to you after a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464228 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:17:13 +0000 Isis 464228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also find the drape of the skirt is not quite right---there's some puckering around the hips.....would it be worth sizing up and hemming, or did that size look wrong?</p> <p>.I have that blouse and LOVE it! It is beautful and feels like wearing a scarf! Looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464214 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:03:28 +0000 Ves 464214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I love the side views of the skirt, hangs nicely from that view, I feel is is sitting awkwardly on your hips in the front pictures. Can you model it with some other shirts, perhaps those pussybow blouses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464210 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:58:31 +0000 missvee 464210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt on you too. I think any shorter cardigan or jacket will look good with it. Boots too, of course, to change up the look.<br /> The cardigan isn't working, and I suspect you've already decided to return it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464198 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:45:04 +0000 catgirl 464198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still messing around - will let you know, and please keep posting any other styling ideas you have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464194 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:42:29 +0000 goldenpig 464194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I'm an apple. I sized down in this skirt (normally I'm a 4 but I went with a 2) so it would sit higher on my waist to go above my apple tummy and be short enough to hit just below my knee so I wouldn't have to alter/shorten it.</p> <p>I am going to try it tucked with all my pussybow blouses. Una I liked how you did it with the semitucked shirt and cropped sweater. Any other styling suggestions for this skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464191 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:38:41 +0000 catgirl 464191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, now that I've flailed around myself, I'm coming back to comment. Since you are willing to tuck, I think you could get a lot of use out of this skirt, and it would go with your colors. It does seem to hang a little differently on you - remind me of your body type again? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464165 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:20:40 +0000 MNsara 464165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, that cardigan is wearing you Vote return on that.</p> <p>I like the skirt though! The leather must be super soft to hang nicely like that. I also think it would look great with a cropped cardi over the outfit. Does it look okay with a cropped jacket, or does that look not soft enough with the leather? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464126 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:38:06 +0000 catgirl 464126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I pulled the trigger on that skirt too and will be posting pics for keep or return. I didn't have time to try it on... this morning's task!</p> <p>The cardigan looks like too much to me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464111 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:23:30 +0000 Sylvie 464111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cardigan has too much fabric and overwhelms you. I vote return, sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464110 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:23:14 +0000 mamaKate 464110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt. Long sweater is...unique. I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464050 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:54:52 +0000 modgrl 464050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the skirt is very pretty and gives you lots of potential styling options. </p> <p>How do you feel about the blanket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464046 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:51:02 +0000 annagybe 464046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color of the skirt, but it fits strange in the hips. Or it might be the way the pockets lay. I like the pattern of the cardigan but it does overwhelm you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-hys-leather-midi-and-kr-sweater-cardigan#post-464025 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:39:26 +0000 goldenpig 464025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to Nordstrom for the Half-Yearly Sale and look what I found--a leather midi! It's in a nice cognac color which I think is easier to wear to work than black. It's from Leith and was on sale for $163 down from $328. The color is "gingerbread"--yum! (Hey Annagybe--it comes in black too!). What do you think of it?<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/leith-leather-midi-skirt/3231311?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/le.....sultback=0</a><br /> Haven't had a chance to style it much yet but I'll be checking out Angie's tips for wearing leather skirts:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/08/04/how-to-wear-a-leather-skirt/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/08/.....her-skirt/</a></p> <p>Also, here's a keep or return. I loved my Free People orange poncho so much that when I saw a Free people long sweater cardigan in similar autumn spice colors, I ordered it (even though it's not on sale). I am lacking in the cardigan department, especially longer ones (I only have one grey hip-length one). But now that I tried it on, I'm thinking it may be a little too big and overwhelming on me. I feel like it doesn't look as good on me as one the model. What do you think--keep or return?<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/free-people-yesterdays-smile-long-cardigan/3216114?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=1688" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/fr.....tback=1688</a> </p>
