The set has a lot of wonderful possibilities for making additional outfits with items in your own closet so is very versatile. The only drawback that I can see is the durability possibly won't work for your daily life. Saving it for special occasions, not daily wear would keep it pristine. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-new-skirt-and-top#post-2347314 Thu, 14 Dec 2023 15:06:54 +0000 Zaeobi 2347314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colour and neckline on that first top - agree that metallic bronze is so hard to find at retail! I think the larger size actually fits ok on your shoulders BUT the waist &amp; elbows need to be brought in a little (I suspect that's why you feel like you're 'swimming' in it). </p> <p>Skirt is great with the plum blouse and the kimono over the top (though I may be a little biased because that's how I'd wear it too lol!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-new-skirt-and-top#post-2347298 Thu, 14 Dec 2023 13:33:29 +0000 RobinF 2347298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great on you. Not sure about the wearability question but I would think you could find ways to wear it even if it's not an every-day-running-with-kids sort of way.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-new-skirt-and-top#post-2347280 Thu, 14 Dec 2023 07:39:38 +0000 Star (Lise) 2347280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with the kimono and the tie top in pic 12.&nbsp; Yes maybe the larger blouse is too large. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-new-skirt-and-top#post-2347266 Thu, 14 Dec 2023 02:23:13 +0000 Jaime 2347266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you certainly look gorgeous! Can't really say about its staying power alas. The color is amazing on you and the combinations all look super! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-new-skirt-and-top#post-2347257 Thu, 14 Dec 2023 01:44:32 +0000 Suz 2347257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a <b>gorgeous</b> colour and neckline on you! Fab! I'd keep the bodycon top for sure. And try the larger skirt. Hard to know which one will work best, but I think you should definitely keep one size of the skirt at least. </p> <p>I understand your concerns about longevity -- the risk with this type of fabric really is snags and pulls -- but honestly, a two piece dress is <b>such</b> a great thing to have in the closet -- as you have already seen, the mix and match possibilities are almost endless and you also have it as a dress. It looks amazing with the kimono.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-new-skirt-and-top#post-2347251 Thu, 14 Dec 2023 00:26:46 +0000 Angie 2347251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with <b>Roberta -</b> LOVE that neckline on the top! The bronzed brown is gorgeous, and its body-con fit is fabulous on you! I vote KILLER top.&nbsp;</p> <p>This size skirt looks dead right as far as fitted knitted skirts go. </p> <p><b>Ket,</b>&nbsp;that said, it's worth comparing sizes when you're unsure. Curious to see how the larger size will glide over your lovely curves! It might be too big, or work as a gentle A-line. You are the boss, and can choose your fit ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>The kimono works wonderfully well over the two-piece dress! &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-new-skirt-and-top#post-2347232 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 21:39:17 +0000 Roberta 2347232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE that neckline on you! And the color is really wonderful, as you say. I love the column of bronze/brown with the kimono over it. I will be interested to see what you think of the larger skirt - the waist may be too big - but I think the top is perfect.&nbsp;</p> <p>The skirt looks great with the rich color and prints of the tops you have chosen. IMO a little more volume on top of a close-fitting skirt is a good thing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-new-skirt-and-top#post-2347223 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 20:33:32 +0000 Ket 2347223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Other points:<br /> I need and want a super high waisted, wide leg trouser to pair with the sweetheart top. </p> <p>I really need more everyday bottoms. pants in polyester so the inner thighs don’t blow out as quickly. And skirts in pleasing easy shapes that feel lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-new-skirt-and-top#post-2347220 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 20:29:26 +0000 Ket 2347220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this metallic ribbed chocolate bronze top and skirt from Old Navy, the same time I bought the printed blouse.<br /> What do you think? </p> <p>The colors is SENSATIONAL! It is my favorite color metallic brown ever. I’ve never ever found it in retail, so I was bowled over when it arrived and I saw it in real life. </p> <p>It’s meant to fit body con which I typically avoid. But I’m intrigued after trying it on. I’m wearing spanx with it. I don’t have tights at present; I’m sure those will help a lot with leg line. I also<br /> Don’t have a slip right now; I think I need one with this! I can see rolls and lines peeping through the fabric. </p> <p>I forgot to try these on with my 70s knee-high butterscotch boots, which would probably be terrific with the outfit. However, my goal is more sensual eclectic or relaxed retro boho, rather than 70s bombshell glam. So for church yes. For everyday MOTG, no. </p> <p>I like it best with my kimono - which surprised me! I like it the plum blouse and wrap blouse. Maybe least with the orange print blouse? The round neckline paired with a midi skirt length makes me feel kind of frumpy; it needs a little edge or something.&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think?</p> <p>Is the skirt too tight?? I ordered the skirt in next size up but it hasn’t arrived yet. </p> <p>Is the top a good fit? It doesn’t feel the slightest bit snug anywhere. I ordered up a size to try. <u>Last photo is the top in next larger size. </u> I feel the next size larger is *too big* especially for the intended fit. It feels like I’m swimming in my older sister clothes. But tell me what you all see and think. </p> <p>I forgot to pair the skirt with my copper orange sweater. I think they will look smashing together! </p> <p>Only concern is I don’t feel the skirt will hold up to hard, everyday mommy abuse and wear. I can see it getting snagged and ripped to high heaven. and yet…I don’t know if I can send it back. I love the super high waist! The fabric is more substantial than I expexted. I can see replicating this skirt’s lines (sewing or retail) and being very happy in the future! </p>
