I agree with Angie and was thinking similar thoughts before I read her comment. It seems a little more arty-boho than your style, which I see as more arty-sleek. I might wear something like this--I go in that direction quite a lot, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1317331 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:37:06 +0000 Deborah 1317331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is returnable but I am not sure I can be bothered lol, which is usually a sign!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1317326 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:33:00 +0000 Suz 1317326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i><br /></i>If returnable, you could look at it and see. If not, then not worth the risk, I suspect.&nbsp;<i><br /></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1317320 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:28:33 +0000 Deborah 1317320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback!&nbsp; I do have reservations which is why I haven't already bought it and why I needed to ask.&nbsp; I suspect it's the idea of the skirt that I like but this one may not be it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1317261 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:05:48 +0000 ironkurtin 1317261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My concern is that fabric.&nbsp; I think a thicker, weightier fabrication would work better for this sort of style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1317240 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 22:25:54 +0000 Susie 1317240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well.........knowing that you would pair it with a much more cool shoe than the model is wearing, it might be worth a try. I just think it could easily veer toward frumptown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1317219 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 22:04:37 +0000 rachylou 1317219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very earthy, as avant garde things go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316880 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 14:12:25 +0000 Angie 1316880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote a skirt with a more dramatic high-low hemline and more structured elastic top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316847 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 13:35:56 +0000 Diana 1316847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Bella re: tha elastic waist looking frumpy. However, if you are only planning to wear it with untucked tops it may not be an issue. I like caro's idea to think of it as harem pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316829 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 13:15:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1316829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theoretically I can see this looking stunning with your stylings Deb - but I have a few concerns like others have mentioned: potentially too long, potentially shapeless...</p> <p>If you can order and return easily, I think it would be worth trying. If you can't return, I would pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316811 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:54:59 +0000 Janet 1316811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a little worried about the length -- you are on the petite side, no? I am wondering if it may be so long that it overwhelms you, and there wouldn't be a way to alter the hem. But the only way to know is to try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316793 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:32:05 +0000 Karie 1316793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Bella and Ceit on this one. You could convince me with your superb styling abilities, however, so if it's returnable you might try some stylings with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316791 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:24:52 +0000 viva 1316791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that it is on sale, is it returnable? If it is, I would definitely buy it and try a few stylings. It's so interesting and feels very you. I am drawn to the cropped suggestions if they work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316767 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:39:26 +0000 Aquamarine 1316767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very arty/bohemian...you could make this work if you can balance the looseness with a more form-fitting top or one of your slim long vests to add structure to the top piece as you suggest.</p> <p>If it's calling you, why not try it and see what you come up with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316766 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:39:15 +0000 bella 1316766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like that it has an elastic waist. That looks sloppy to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316761 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:27:43 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1316761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is in line with your style. &nbsp;Suz posted a pic of an outfit with a pair of loose linen pants in navy in the last week. &nbsp;She paired them with a lightweight linen sweater from J Crew and it looked very nice. &nbsp;I can see a similar pairing with this skirt for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316752 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 10:56:36 +0000 Anonymous 1316752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of it, but I worry it will look saggy and stretched out instead of intentionally asymmetrical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316750 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 10:51:49 +0000 unfrumped 1316750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely color and drape. What kind of volume on top works with this? Will you get lost in it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316742 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 10:00:29 +0000 Inge 1316742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too, Deborah, and was nodding along with all the styling ideas. A cropped lightweight pullover (or cropped with high-low hemline) might work too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316741 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:51:47 +0000 crutcher 1316741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love that skirt...I would wear the drapey vest and tee...I would put a contrasting texture jacket with a tee...Perhaps a long linen shirt over a tee..thinking white crisp..By all means get this one... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316739 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 08:19:48 +0000 Caro in Oz 1316739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I like your styling ideas &amp; could see this being very useful for you&nbsp;:)<br />I had a similar skirt that I wore a lot - especially humid summer days in Melbourne.&nbsp;I just treated it the same way I would harem pants. My go to looks were funky sandals &amp;&nbsp;a tank or tee. &nbsp;For interest (&amp;&nbsp;the air con) I'd wear&nbsp;a cropped linen knit or unlined linen jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316738 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 07:52:44 +0000 Elizabeth P 1316738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I hate to enable you for your short summers, but this is WAY COOL!! And very Deborah. I think styling it as you mentioned would be perfect. Go for it. Sorry... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-this-skirt-please#post-1316735 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 07:44:38 +0000 Deborah 1316735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>I have had this skirt on my 'maybe' list for a month or so but I couldn't really think seriously about it because it's been so cold and this would be more Spring / Summer weight.</p> <p>Any way, took a peek today and it is now on sale so I thought I would ask you what you think.&nbsp; I love the shape and curve of&nbsp;the hem.&nbsp; I am not exactly sure what I would wear it with tho:(</p> <p>Thinking maybe&nbsp;sleeveless top with a sleeveless drapey vest??</p> <p>FYI it is 100% cotton and full washable and the colour is charcoal not black.</p> <p>Any ideas for styling and do you see this working for me?</p> <p>Thanks for taking a look.</p> <p>xxx Deborah</p>
