I love the bright color and the stripes. It looks great with the jacket and the delicate striped blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590906 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 15:19:07 +0000 Meredith1953 590906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it styled both ways! I think you will find it to be very versatile! A denim jacket and a great scarf that echoes the color or pattern would also look great. Cute wedges! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590899 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 15:06:54 +0000 harmonica 590899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt and the way you put together both outfits.

Wear it ASAP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590831 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 12:40:08 +0000 Jjsloane 590831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works well both ways, but love it in 7 best. The jacket in 1-4 is perfect and would work over another or same coral color top too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590806 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 11:28:39 +0000 citygirldc 590806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt color looks wonderful on you and I do like both tops with the skirt. I'm the same with I introduce colors that our outside of my comfort zone. I have to ask myself if I will ever wear that item or I'm just loving the skirt for what it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590789 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 10:57:26 +0000 lyn67 590789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! this is a fab skirt and love it how you styled it both, but my fave is with the dots blouse and white denim jacket! Thi surely land to my faves!!! Very very good job! Keep posting, please!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590752 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 06:47:16 +0000 CocoLion 590752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! Beautiful. And the combination of coral and beige is so very on trend. Don't hesitate to wear!</p> <p>Like the others, I love it with the blouse in 7-9 -- awesome pattern mixing. But the sleeveless one looks great too! I also prefer the skirt with the lighter of the two sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590746 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 06:29:58 +0000 ManidipaM 590746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this skirt on you both ways you've worn it here (adore your tan sandals, btw)! And I'm going to second Suz's suggestion to try it with denim too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590741 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 06:17:57 +0000 fashionista 590741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you love the skirt now?? Its beautiful. And I loved the way you styled it in all 1, 5 and 7 pictures. My fav. is 5 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590674 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 03:16:22 +0000 Suz 590674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have already heard the chorus of yays so I will simply add my own and say it is lovely and looks wonderful on you! I like it best with the striped top, too (#7) but also like it with the white jacket. Agree with Vildy's smart suggestion. I also think you could try aqua or turquoise with it. Or even your denim shirt, if you had that echo of one of the skirt's colours above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590671 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 03:09:34 +0000 Jenava 590671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say this was an orphan no longer...I think you've nailed it. I love the spotted blouse and denim jacket particularly well, although the tonal stripes is cute too.</p> <p>ETA - Vildy's advice is great, too. I think adding a pop of coral in a necklace, headband, scarf, etc. would really make it pop...although it's perfectly lovely as is, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590632 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 01:42:01 +0000 Mo 590632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great skirt, but I admit I would be stumped with how to style it myself as well. I tend to want to find a matching color right away. I think the last white striped shirt is a great choice and looks fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590621 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 01:18:07 +0000 Isis 590621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this skirt and the way you've styled it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590604 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 00:53:55 +0000 Jaime 590604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this skirt on you. Great fit, great stripes! I like it with the white blouse and think it might also work with contrasting blue or green if you want to try that. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590539 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 22:55:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 590539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this skirt is lovely and lovely on you! I like both combinations you've come up with here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590538 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 22:42:28 +0000 Vildy 590538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you match a color, it's important not to do it at reading distance. You have to see how the original color looks at about 6 or 8 feet away. Colors resolve differently at a distance and are also, if in a print or juxtaposed with other colors, affected by them. Even grays, which are supposed to be neutral and by definition unaffected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590492 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 21:31:51 +0000 Deborah 590492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MTB this skirt is divine. I think styling it with the white stripe shirt is brilliant as it works beautifully. The white jacket looks great too. Do get this into regular rotation. It looks beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590490 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 21:28:20 +0000 morethanbeige 590490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, such great ideas. Thank you! </p> <p>@kg, I don't have an aqua shell, but just thinking about it, I think it would look really nice.</p> <p>@Vildy, I really like your suggestion about bringing one of the colors (I would prefer the neutral tone) up to my face. I think it might bring more balance and grounding.</p> <p>@Tanya, I thought about that with the warmer blush and I love that idea. I do have a woven button down blouse in sort of a darker peach. I tried it and didn't think it worked, maybe because it works better with something softer on top?</p> <p>@Vicki, Thank you!</p> <p>Thank you for giving me the confidence to wear this skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590484 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 21:16:40 +0000 Vicki 590484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this skirt on you and I hope you get more comfortable with it, because everything is right about it, the color, the silhouette on you, the pattern, etc. I also like the white-on-white striped blouse in 7-9, too, because there's a softness to the blouse and yet both are offering horizontal stripes/patterns to the entire outfit that is so appealing. I think you can also be happy with your first styling, too, as that looks nice, too. Yes, your skirt most definitely works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590483 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 21:15:14 +0000 Tanya 590483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous skirt, and I hope you start wearing it! I also really like the last outfit, with the sheer white blouse. Do you own a top in light apricot/warmer blush? Than you could have a tonal outfit like the ones in Angie's Friday blog post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590481 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 21:13:06 +0000 Vildy 590481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt. For a first outing, is there anything you have - necklace, important earrings, scarf, sunglasses - that can bring one of the colors up toward your face? That always makes it loads easier to wear any bottom piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590478 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 21:10:36 +0000 kellygirl 590478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is so on trend and flattering to my eye! I love the colors and the stripes. My favorite pairing is the blouse in 7. I think I'd prefer the jacket versions with the lighter shoe. Do you have an aqua shell? I bet that would be pretty too. I LOVE the skirt on you and hope you wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590473 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 21:08:01 +0000 morethanbeige 590473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kari. I think it's the bright color and not knowing what to wear with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-skirt-and-out-of-my-comfort-zone#post-590465 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 20:41:48 +0000 Kari 590465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt a lot, and my favorite is actually the last outfit with the white-on-white striped blouse. I'm totally in a pattern-mixing state of mind lately. I love your wedge sandals, too.</p> <p>Why do you think you haven't felt comfortable wearing it? Is the bright color a bit too far out of your norm? Is it a length or a shape that you don't feel confident in? </p>
