It's a weird skirt. It's the sort of plaid that should be wool, but it's very lightweight. And yes, I believe I was attracted by the depressed vibe, which I think fits with the Great Recession zeitgeist. Hehe... I should wear it with falling-down socks, oxfords, and a ratty sweater. But that's so 2000.</p> <p>shevia - the brown is bottom of my top - long silky blouse thing. Sweatshirt is a cropped affair.</p> <p>Kiwigal - ooh good thinking. Nothing says summer like a Pimms/7-Up/cucumber mixer. If I wet the dog tho, she won't hang with me, hehehe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512828 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 02:48:51 +0000 tulle 1512828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, the skirt looks as if it is left from 4th grade, too--not a bad thing, necessarily, though that light brown plaid seems a little tired &amp; Marian-the-librarian-ish.&nbsp; I'm guessing that's what you like about it?&nbsp; Keep on straying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512826 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 02:43:58 +0000 Jaime 1512826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of love this - the satchel is fantastic here. What is the brown over the skirt. Is it part of the skirt? An apron? The beauty is that you don't actually look preppy. A fine ironically sincere look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512823 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 02:35:39 +0000 Sal 1512823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it.</p> <p>Agree it would be awesome with the cricket sweater for an English Aristocracy hanging out at the castle look. &nbsp;Ideally with Pimms and wet dogs.</p> <p>I think brown goes with cream, soft pink, turquoise, dull green, orange, the right yellow, and black. &nbsp;I have a not dissimilar skirt that I am yet to wear this winter, I might try and wear it one day this week in solidarity for these poor lonely brown skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512792 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 01:12:49 +0000 rachylou 1512792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg! I need Gillian's dress! (The first one)</p> <p>Also... Love Orphan Girl. It's so... Little Match Girl. That's my fave Grimm.</p> <p>Also... I'm going to make cayenne crackers, I am! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512765 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 00:43:51 +0000 Beth Ann 1512765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK -- I saw your post title and I immediately thought of Gillian Welch's "Orphan Girl."</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7wTLQdT5NU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7wTLQdT5NU</a></p> <p>Her style is reminiscent of yours, too,&nbsp; with the addition of a bit of "Grapes of Wrath Retro."&nbsp; </p> <p>I like the the quirky preppy look.&nbsp; It works for you!&nbsp; I like Joy's idea of pairing it with a graphic tee -- although that could veer into hipster territory.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512760 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 00:40:34 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1512760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Put a cricket on it. That's what I thought (like a pet cricket in a cage) till I remembered the sporting cricket sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512749 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 00:16:54 +0000 Aida 1512749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Part of being quirky? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512740 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 00:06:49 +0000 rachylou 1512740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just looked - and yes! Y'all are much hotter than down here. Golly olly! Not that it isn't a cloudless, windless sunny day; but it's crispifying as opposed to hot. On the other hand, that <i>is </i>all I wore out - no puffy. Can you believe that?</p> <p>I don't know why I have such a hard time staying the fashion course. I just wander off all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512721 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 23:25:25 +0000 Aida 1512721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of pairing with the cricket sweater, go whole hog with it. This isn't a bad styling though, just feels a bit off with your current goals. Also, what are the temps down there right now? Are we *gasp* warmer than you are up in Seattle!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512682 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 21:57:29 +0000 carter 1512682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I wouldn't pick something like the skirt for you when you are QFOD, I think you've made the outfit you. Searching for other suggestions for you...but I got nada! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512667 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 21:21:33 +0000 abc 1512667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey I like this! &nbsp;But then again, I tend to like anything from your Put A Bird On It phase. &nbsp;</p> <p>Try out some different renditions of this skirt with other things and post some pics, will ya?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512663 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 21:13:16 +0000 Gaylene 1512663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I've always been a sucker for a good preppy look, so this outfit rings all kinds of bells for me. What fascinates me, though, is how you've managed to imbue those saltines with a bite of cayenne... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512647 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 20:22:39 +0000 rachylou 1512647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good ideas, Joy! Ok. Now maybe I'll have to wear this skirt every day this week, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512632 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:45:06 +0000 Anonymous 1512632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the layering. It adds a playful touch. Maybe you need to add extra playful and quirky when wearing this skirt. How about your fur cape from the decade challenge? A graphic tee? Or your grey and cream pullover sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512627 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:16:23 +0000 rachylou 1512627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh ooh ooh! I so want to do the cricket sweater with it. That calls to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512623 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:12:16 +0000 Diana 1512623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or.... maybe crazy, but try it with your cricket sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512618 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:06:43 +0000 rachylou 1512618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh blush is a smart idea, Diana. Dang, now I'm sorry I gave away my blush jacket (it was too kindergarten even for me, had a little kid hood). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512615 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:04:38 +0000 Diana 1512615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! I like the layering.&nbsp; </p> <p>Try pairing it with blush maybe as well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512607 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:57:05 +0000 rachylou 1512607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx Sara!</p> <p>Looking some more, is this too school girl? I'm an old lady. Of course, one never really purges the nursery from one's soul when one is preppy... There may be nothing for it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512605 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:43:23 +0000 Sara L. 1512605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great with the layered tops. The skirt may not be quirky by itself but&nbsp;I think the whole outfit has a quirky feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512590 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:24:21 +0000 rachylou 1512590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy - the brown is my top, a long silky thing...</p> <p>Jeweled - good colour ideas! Turquoise I might have, prob not coral tho... Hmm</p> <p>Thistle - yeah, keep me inline! Lol. Skirt is from the Put A Bird On It phase. But now that it's orphaned... Like always, when I'm at a loss, I fall back on my unimaginative preppy, dressed by my dad ways. The mocs and the satchel... Ahaha! Someone get me gin and saltines! Hahaha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512584 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:10:37 +0000 Thistle 1512584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab photo!!&nbsp; I am not sure about the skirt. I remember your style moniker being quirky waif, and that is not it. It feels pretty preppy to me . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512583 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:09:12 +0000 Jeweled 1512583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, Rachylou!&nbsp; The mocs, top, and purse all work together nicely with it.&nbsp; If you're looking for something else to pair with the skirt, I'm wondering if coral or turquoise could work with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512582 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:07:03 +0000 Anonymous 1512582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and the driving Mocs with your bag. What is the brown fabric on the upper part of the skirt? The photo looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt#post-1512581 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:02:58 +0000 rachylou 1512581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. Trying to get back to taking outfit snaps. I've been deep in my closet, finally switching out winter for summer. In the course of things, I discovered I orphaned this skirt below. I used to wear it with orange tops, but I purged orange from the ol' closet during this closet dive. </p> <p>Anyways, this was my attempt at styling it. I wore it for an early morning coffee with my best friend from fourth grade. What do y'all think? Yay, nay, suggestions? I really wanted to wear my driving mocs, so I did; but maybe they weren't the most fab finish...</p> <p>Also, trying this new app, Cortex Camera, which is supposed to help with low light pics... </p>
