It's gorgeous and grown up that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-shirt-fairisle-skirt-combo---opinions-reqd-on-this-one#post-787390 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:43:16 +0000 goldenpig 787390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! So cute! I love it! I would never have thought about wearing a Fair isle skirt but now you have me wishing I had one (we are about the same age)! I think the plaid shirt and sweater skirt by itself is a little young looking (I could see my daughter wearing that combo) but the leather jacket and boots toughens it up sufficiently so I think it's fine!</p> <p>As for other ways to wear the skirt, I think it's just begging to be paired with some black faux fur, either a furry jacket/vest or some boots. I think wearing it with a blouse and/or blazer and gold or silver belt would also make it seem more grown up.<br /> <a href="http://www.trendenvy.com/2011/03/fair-all-fair-isle.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.trendenvy.com/2011/.....-isle.html</a><br /> <a href="http://coolspotters.com/clothing/d-and-g-fall-2010-fair-isle-skirt/photos_videos#medium-920181" rel="nofollow">http://coolspotters.com/clothi.....ium-920181</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-shirt-fairisle-skirt-combo---opinions-reqd-on-this-one#post-787388 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:31:19 +0000 rute 787388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look but it seems a bit young! I don't know if it's the skirt and the blouse together, maybe you should try to separate them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-shirt-fairisle-skirt-combo---opinions-reqd-on-this-one#post-787386 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:27:38 +0000 Andrea W 787386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm joining the plaid shirt party (but I think I was there anyway with my 2 other shirts I already owned!!)</p> <p>Anyhow, had a moment of madness on Saturday and bought a knitted fairisle skirt (similar to pic) &amp; plaid blouse from Primark. The skirt is very short - it has a roll over waist line - but it is beyond cute - I will be pairing it with leggings or very thick tights.</p> <p>I must stipulate there is absolutely no way I would have worn this when I was younger - weird how I feel now that I just want to dress in my own way and to hell with the fact that I'm 38 years old. I realise that some people will feel this skirt is inappropriate for my age group and I'm fine with that. Each to their own.</p> <p>Anyway, what do you think of this? Can you suggest an alternative way to wear the skirt? </p>
