But how fab when you discover an&nbsp; older item fits (AND FEELS GREAT!!!) again-it did happen to me this summer with skirts and dresses from 10-15 yrs ago--so from the last midi trend (yes, I keep my trully loved pieces even longer in my Garage stock.-)). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphans2#post-2220632 Wed, 01 Sep 2021 00:28:21 +0000 Anonymous 2220632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Rachylou. &nbsp;Yes we went and I wore the skirt outfit and felt fine. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphans2#post-2220586 Tue, 31 Aug 2021 21:13:46 +0000 rachylou 2220586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great skirt!

A longer shift with great drape. &nbsp;I will pull it out for early fall with brown or navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphans2#post-2220214 Mon, 30 Aug 2021 02:37:17 +0000 Jaime 2220214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks just right to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphans2#post-2220133 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 14:16:52 +0000 Anonymous 2220133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie and Mirjana, I think of animal prints as near- neutrals and automatically mix them. &nbsp;My grey snake loafers and compliment crossbody/ clutch bag have bit the dust and I need to decide whether or not to try to replace them. &nbsp;Snake is the most subtle animal pattern I have used, more of a texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphans2#post-2220124 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 13:57:17 +0000 Mirjana 2220124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can only say PERFECT!

Awesome as usual! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphans2#post-2219979 Sat, 28 Aug 2021 22:05:22 +0000 Anonymous 2219979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I am wearing an orphan skirt and top plus necklace. &nbsp;The skirt has an elastic waist that I had thought no longer fit, but I tried it today and it was ok. &nbsp;It has fall colors in it so that is why it has not seen any wear. &nbsp;The top is a black sleeveless tank that is old and used to be a workhorse. &nbsp;I have more choices now so it was not worn yet this summer. &nbsp;The necklace of rust colored stones with silver and the silver earrings are both rather heavy so sometimes don’t seem right when it is hot. &nbsp;Shoes are my old giraffe print flats to bring in more animal.(leopard print on skirt). &nbsp;Small bag has a black strap and ovals in fuchsia and orange on a pale gray. &nbsp;Topper is a long rust colored cardi, not shown.<br />it is too warm now but might be needed later as we are going out to eat in outdoor seating. &nbsp;Does this look ok to wear for a casual dinner?<div>Do you recommend any changes?</div> </p>
