The colour makes it able to be co-ordinated with most colours because it is so neutral. I hope by looking at the photos, you can see how this skirt really highlights you figure and the length looks perfect to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920642 Sat, 19 May 2018 11:33:17 +0000 krishnidoux 1920642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Citygirldc, I see what you mean. Don't be ashamed, I think I would have gone throught he very same trajectory myself: be excited about it, buy it, then let it sit in my closet for months. Part of it could be because of the intimidating paperbag waist.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you should stop envisionning this skirt as a pencil skirt and start seeing it as the bottom piece of a very interesting, chic, unconventional ensemble It would look fab with a light topper:</p> <p>- Light color (lilac? white? khaki?) button down - saffari /utility style - with collar up.</p> <p>-&nbsp; Soft,&nbsp; drapey tucked in top that moves, that puffs even a little, in white or cream or lilac. Collar should be wide, not too close to skin.</p> <p>All and all, you need the top not to be skin tight, and not to be black. And you need to pay attention to the collar. I think you have a fantastic figure for this skirt. </p> <p>Also, pay attention to footwear. Something unconvertional would work well, such as gladiator or strapey snadals with some heel, white booties, platform espadrilles with ribbons...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920607 Sat, 19 May 2018 07:49:59 +0000 Jessikams 1920607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the whole look. Does it stay in place or does it want to wiggle up as you walk? If you can, leave the length, it’s what makes the skirt look more special and not just another pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920522 Fri, 18 May 2018 22:18:46 +0000 citygirldc 1920522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. I was debating on wearing a white top with the skirt but couldn’t decide because of the nasty rainy weather out, plus it was cool out. Anyway, I’ll try a white too with it next time since I never wore the skirt. So, the skirt is a keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920502 Fri, 18 May 2018 21:10:56 +0000 Helena 1920502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too - your styling gives it a very 'mad men' vibe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920496 Fri, 18 May 2018 21:02:01 +0000 Cardiff girl 1920496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this skirt on you,it has a retro vintage look about it that is very appealing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920484 Fri, 18 May 2018 20:06:17 +0000 JAileen 1920484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks really good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920473 Fri, 18 May 2018 19:18:03 +0000 rachylou 1920473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great. I like the length, very modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920469 Fri, 18 May 2018 19:04:33 +0000 Katerina 1920469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great look - love the combination with the black top and shoes. The skirt is lovely and I would wear it as it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920444 Fri, 18 May 2018 17:46:49 +0000 Janet 1920444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a tough style for most of us to wear, but this looks pretty darn retro-fab good on you. I like it with the black turtleneck, and I wouldn’t touch the length, as I quite like it. </p> <p>I’m often bothered by the side view in these kinds of styles, and I’m not a fan of how they poof out when I sit down. But if all that is good with you, I say keep and wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920430 Fri, 18 May 2018 16:57:56 +0000 Sara L. 1920430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar skirt and I also find it hard to wear.&nbsp; I just don't have the right sort of tops for it.&nbsp; They need to be somewhat cropped or tucked in and mine are mostly too long.&nbsp; I think your skirt length is perfect as is.&nbsp; It's elegant and retro. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920422 Fri, 18 May 2018 15:51:11 +0000 Daisy Avalin 1920422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the skirt looks great on you, and like Dana I agree that shortening it might well place the hem at an awkward length for you.</p> <p>My disconnect is with the top, it looks too dark against the skirt. Maybe try a summer top in a brighter or jewel-tone colour, maybe a pussy bow blouse style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920420 Fri, 18 May 2018 15:37:30 +0000 Dana 1920420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love it! The skirt is very flattering! I like the length. I'm feeling as though a tailor would have a tough time hemming it just a tiny bit and then it would be right at the middle of the knee or above the knee, which would throw off the proportions.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also like that the length has a bit of retro flair that you really like. That new bomber jacket would be fab with it!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920415 Fri, 18 May 2018 15:28:46 +0000 Like the Season 1920415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length and would wear it as-is. That said, it would probably look great shorter, too. Love the paper bag waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-wiw---uniqlo-skirt-need-input#post-1920408 Fri, 18 May 2018 14:36:00 +0000 citygirldc 1920408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the items I bought this last Fall/Winter was this paperbag skirt from Uniqlo. Of course these were one of the items that were sitting in the closet with the tags still on. Yeah, I know (lowering head in shame).&nbsp;</p> <p>So, I was tempted to wear this outfit today but nixed until I hear from you all. Is the skirt too long for me or should I hem it which seems to be an easy fix? Does the belt hide my tummy, because it has some pleats?</p> <p>Your thoughts please.&nbsp; </p>
