Not quite as smooth fitting as I would like but JFE I think. </p> <p>Special thanks to LisaP on eyebrow (I have a lighter brow colour) and recommendation on lip liner and gloss - I’ve adopted the use of both and feel more polished. </p> <p>Thank you all so much for confidence inspiring posts. Happy Friday x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2055119 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 04:18:10 +0000 Jane 2055119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>The Cat</b>. The colouring the new skirt is very subtle but good; it feels as if it can span seasons and as you say, it it is good with a few different coloured jackets.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you <b>CardiffGirl</b>, one of my things I would love to find, is somewhere at home which remains relatively neat, with good lighting and is good for a full length photo. HEWP - p for place! The belt was from Uterque and I love it! It is good to be able to pattern mix with it - thank you <b>The Cat</b> for the suggestion of mixing the belt with the check - perfect!&nbsp;Yes, the belt looks better under the jacket on the skirt in 5. But I am going to have a play at the weekend and see if I can make it work.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sal,</b> thank you, yes it might well be a rest would be a good thing with the green pleated.</p> <p><b>Joy,</b> thank you! I am pleased with it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you <b>Angie</b>, I love cutting the tags! Ahh, that is helpful to remember, thank you.</p> <p>Thank you <b>LisaP,</b> I think it could be workhorse this winter and <b>Shevia</b>, thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, I will try thinner belts - the buttons got in the way when I tried the other evening, so it might be that I just need to live with it. The pfaff factor has crossed my mind. This jacket doesn't crease, it is a kind of jersey, which is helpful, but I would think that an option might be is to wear the belt under on the commute, then readjust when I arrive at the office.</p> <p><b>Jenni</b>, it so was a fast team wear! It feels like a Burberry check to me too. I think I will have well and truly passed the 30 wears. I wore it on a important day trip to Paris for work, which was fab, so it always has that memory with it. Yes, I think the boredom does set in on a smaller wardrobe in a shorter time.</p> <p><b>Bijou,</b>&nbsp;it is so lovely having new clothes!</p> <p><b>Roxanna,</b> thank you, yes Maje have some lovely clothes, quite often things that are a little bit different. They have a super dress with mock sleeves as a tie around the waist that really caught my eye too. This link might work. I tried to do a screen shot but it didn't work.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://uk.maje.com/en/ready-to-wear/collection/dresses/119rapri/MFPRO00661.html?dwvar_MFPRO00661_color=0505#start=29">https://uk.maje.com/en/ready-t.....RO00661_co</a></p> <p>Thank you <b>Sun Tiger</b>, yes, I think a thinner belt could be helpful.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you <b>JAileen</b>, now you have said it, I think it will be a workhorse. I am going to see if I can wear it casually too, although it feels a bit smart may be for that - but with a t and a denim jacket, it might work.</p> <p>Thank you <b>Ms Maven.&nbsp;</b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2055080 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 22:17:31 +0000 MsMaven 2055080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful skirt! Definitely a keeper. Glad your are going to do just that. Looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054936 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 14:27:06 +0000 JAileen 2054936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so glad you’re keeping the skirt.

I think I'd like a thinner belt with the jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054670 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 12:17:13 +0000 nemosmom 2054670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous skirt!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054663 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 11:38:42 +0000 Roxanna 2054663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this on you! And I like the belt on top of the skirt as you have our in your wear photo. Maje had great stuff don't they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054655 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 10:54:30 +0000 Bijou 2054655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great skirt and even better on!</p> <p>I am on team wear too and have been wearing my new clothes and enjoying them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054649 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 10:25:26 +0000 Jenni NZ 2054649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s awesome Jane, looks great. That was a fast Team Wear! Even quicker than my new puffer which took 3 days!<br /> The beautiful new skirt looks kind of Burberry colours to me. I like the new jacket with the old skirt too. You must have well and truly passed 30 wears with that one. One thing with a smaller wardrobe, you probably may get bored sooner do you think?<br /> I still want to reduce my numbers a bit more because seeing them hanging there for too many years is a bit boring as well x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054639 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 07:15:09 +0000 Jane 2054639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a very quick post to say Team Wear! </p> <p>Thank you for your encouragement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054604 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 02:02:50 +0000 Brooklyn 2054604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirt! I’d like to see the jacket with a thinner belt or with 2 thinner stacked belts. I’ve tried this with jackets and it’s a fun look as long as you are happy to keep the jacket on all day (because it’s hard to de-layer). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054596 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 00:51:05 +0000 Jaime 2054596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirt looks perfect for you! I like the outfit with the belted jacket (vicarious waist defining fun) too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054594 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 00:47:09 +0000 Anonymous 2054594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely new skirt ! And I like all of your jackets with it . I’m with the Cat in thinking the belt would work well on the skirt itself and not over the jacket ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054593 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 00:30:47 +0000 Angie 2054593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cut those tags, sister! Gorgeous skirt. </p> <p>The belt works well. Make sure you are comfy when you sit down. Digging belts are a mare </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054590 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 00:12:39 +0000 Anonymous 2054590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal is wise. I like the new skirt best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054570 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 21:45:03 +0000 Sal 2054570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new skirt Jane - great pattern to make it versatile.</p> <p>I think 5 has possibilities.&nbsp; You can wear this look but I probably need a longer pic to really tell.&nbsp; I think sometimes just putting something to rest for three months can help me like it again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054567 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 21:41:25 +0000 The Cat 2054567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re #5: I suggest wearing the belt UNDER the (open) jacket.</p> <p>By the way, I guess that the same belt would also look great under the jacket in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054564 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 21:32:24 +0000 Cardiff girl 2054564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that new pleated skirt and what a great pattern.lt seems to go with everything.You have such an tiny waist,belting it to show it off is definitely a good idea and that is a lovely belt.Any possibility of a full length photo to see how the belted jacket looks with the skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054563 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 21:30:06 +0000 The Cat 2054563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations with your new skirt! Great combos with the jackets! I like #2 and#3 in particular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-skirts#post-2054560 Tue, 20 Aug 2019 21:08:25 +0000 Jane 2054560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so pleased when I found this new skirt in Maje photos 1 to 4 - it is a good fit and has some super colours in the check - khaki, dark blue, light toffee and blush pink. It works well with various jackets. It is midi length, and hard wearing uncrushable fabric. </p> <p>I am on team wear, so I think the labels will be cut off shortly! But they are still on, so do say if you think it is a fail!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have been looking for a replacement for my bottle green CM pleated skirt, which I have worn a lot and am nearing my boredom threshold. I have had it two years and worn it about once every other week. To give it a new lease of life, I bought a wild card bottle green jacket, which kind of works with it, but really I would like to wear a belt with it. I have taken the attached photo which is poor but may be you can let me know what you think. </p> <p>Is there any hope for this jacket with belt?&nbsp; </p>
