It'll take the edge off but still let the skirt stay the star. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163336 Fri, 28 May 2010 15:55:29 +0000 chellebrate 163336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty! Fun styling of it, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163333 Fri, 28 May 2010 15:51:56 +0000 Rosie 163333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the white looks good? I think with the taupey cardigan and pink that would look really pretty. I will try it. I have a really hard time finding white shirts. I have one I love but it is a particular style - will try it though. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163331 Fri, 28 May 2010 15:49:01 +0000 Sarah 163331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if this will help or not, but we got my mom a crisp white button down to go with her skirt (she won't wear denim, sigh...in her defense she CAN'T wear it at work) and got a lovely taupe/mushroom colored cardigan to go over the top. She wears pink beads with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163329 Fri, 28 May 2010 15:46:56 +0000 Rosie 163329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I've at least found one or two ways to wear it. I think the proportions work best with the leather jacket. I will keep playing around with it! </p> <p>Lisa, I have very few light colored tops, so I just used a tee with a color from the skirt. I'll try it with some white shirts (don't have many) but I'm not really sure they would look right with it. I have a cream shirt that might work, but my button down will definitely compete with it. To my eye, when I look at the skirt, white seems too harsh a contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163311 Fri, 28 May 2010 15:00:43 +0000 kellygirl 163311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohooo! You look super chic in that skirt and might I add that the leather jacket is fab-u-lous! I'm not a floral fan but the way you styled it looks really nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163307 Fri, 28 May 2010 14:53:00 +0000 Angie 163307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ensemble with the leather jacket is fabulous, Rosie! That's how you make a twee skirt edgy for hip and young you. Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163276 Fri, 28 May 2010 13:45:32 +0000 Lisa 163276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the denim shirt best. It's not bad with the green but the green doesn't make it as snazzy. What about some type of white top/shirt so the skirt takes center stage? To me the green competes a little with it. I guess I'm favoring this skirt with lighter tops. But the skirt itself looks great on you, so glad you picked that up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163210 Fri, 28 May 2010 06:26:30 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 163210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it too - but then that makes sense in that I have a couple of skirts similar.</p> <p>The cut is great on you and I love how you have styled it with the denim shirt and then the moto jacket.</p> <p>Perfect occasion to wear - English garden party! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163185 Fri, 28 May 2010 04:00:26 +0000 marianna 163185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE it on you. Very J Crew! I like it best with the moto jacket and denim shirt. I want to see it with your LB denim moto now! Oooh and the INC silk moto would look pretty with it too. The options are endless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163176 Fri, 28 May 2010 03:49:03 +0000 Rosie 163176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the input! I ended up getting it today because I was able to negotiate the lady crediting me for the price drop on my jacket and sweater since Tuesday, which I guess they are only supposed to do when something is first marked down. At the end of the day, I only paid 52 cents extra for the skirt with those credits. </p> <p>Maya, don't take this the wrong way, but I am glad you don't like it. I mean, part of me thinks it IS inherently ugly, but I'm intrigued at the same time. It seems REALLY different from your style - I would have been surprised if you like it. I'm not really sure how to style it, so it will definitely take some messing with! I particularly welcome any suggestions you have, but you might not be able to get your head around it at all. </p> <p>With denim shirt: <a href="http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#100114/Floral%20skirt&#038;bgcolor=black" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#.....olor=black</a><br /> With Green tshirt: <a href="http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#100114/Floral%20Skirt&#038;bgcolor=black" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#.....olor=black</a><br /> With green t and Ashley B pleather jacket: <a href="http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#100114/Floral%20Skirt_1&#038;bgcolor=black" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#.....olor=black</a></p> <p>I have on dark green patent shoes in the photos. I think I need to figure out what I have that really works with the skirt.</p> <p>user: ylf<br /> pword: 2010 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163145 Fri, 28 May 2010 02:48:09 +0000 NK 163145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I honestly LOVE the floral skirt. Great colors, lots of possibilities for stying with that one. The other skirt? I don't really love it but I'm not sure why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163142 Fri, 28 May 2010 02:43:53 +0000 Maya 163142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Normally I try to be objective when it comes to matters of taste, but I just can't seem to like this no matter which style persona I try to momentarily adopt. I know, however, that I am letting my own style preferences cloud my better judgment and that my dislike for it has nothing to do with the fact that it is inherently ugly. I'd be interested in seeing it styled with some edge, as previously mentioned, to see if that changes my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163136 Fri, 28 May 2010 02:34:46 +0000 taylor 163136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has really pretty colors and nice big print.....:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163120 Fri, 28 May 2010 01:19:18 +0000 Angie 163120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! Get! Had it on a client last week.</p> <p>But add the Rosie-edge to the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163102 Fri, 28 May 2010 00:57:13 +0000 April 163102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rosie, I completely agree that with a skirt like this, it's all in the styling. A little bit of edge will go a long way toward toning down the sweetness of the pink floral and keeping it modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163082 Fri, 28 May 2010 00:29:32 +0000 Mellllls 163082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the print but I don't love the print on the dusty pink background. I think that is what my hesitation is with it I do like the solid one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163015 Thu, 27 May 2010 21:47:49 +0000 florida 163015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, but needs hip accessories and maybe nude strappy platform wedge sandals--no sweet-looking shoe with this skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-163007 Thu, 27 May 2010 21:33:26 +0000 Rosie 163007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Sounds like we are all in agreement. It is really a nice fabric and is a great price now. I have to go to Talbots today to get credit for some markdowns, so if they still have it I think I'll get it and play around with it! I know you ladies will be able to help me make it look cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-162990 Thu, 27 May 2010 21:13:49 +0000 Kristine 162990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty, but it also reminds me of a grandma's sofa. I think it completely depends on how you style it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-162988 Thu, 27 May 2010 21:09:56 +0000 AJ 162988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, on the borderline group. This skirt could easily be seen as dowdy if you don't have the right pieces with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-162985 Thu, 27 May 2010 21:08:21 +0000 Beth 162985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Isabel on this one. Make sure to add an edgy top or accessories and it'll be fab:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-162904 Thu, 27 May 2010 17:25:20 +0000 Isabel 162904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rosie, I am with you......I really want to like it because it is very pretty, but at the same time you have to be careful to wear something "hip' with it as to not look like a house coat.</p> <p>Though, in my opinion, it is much prettier live ( I saw it in the store and really liked it ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-162902 Thu, 27 May 2010 17:20:02 +0000 Rosie 162902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yay! They don't have the regular size online that I tried on and liked, but might try another. </p> <p>Also considering getting one of these:<br /> <a href="http://www1.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi24145&#038;catId=cat90034&#038;rootCategory=cat70018&#038;commerceId=&#038;mode=&#038;backurl=&#038;section=Sale&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat90034&#038;searchCatPag=&#038;_DARGS=/online/browse/includes/navigation_product_content.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www1.talbots.com/online.....ontent.jsp</a><br /> I've tried on the yellow and the pink and the pink worked better on me. But, if I get the printed skirt, then maybe another color makes sense? </p> <p>I can't believe I have been liking Talbots so much recently. Sarah, I'm sure you have a very stylish mom, so that's ok with me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-162896 Thu, 27 May 2010 17:09:36 +0000 marianna 162896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've looked at that skirt before too. I think it's really pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-162895 Thu, 27 May 2010 17:08:17 +0000 Lisa 162895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-162892 Thu, 27 May 2010 17:06:04 +0000 Sarah 162892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh I love that skirt. Don't take this the wrong way at all, but I just got it for my mom for Mother's Day.<br /> I really want it for myself too, and I would TOTALLY wear it with my denim (or chambray) button down and nude heels. Pretty, pretty, pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pretty-or-ugly#post-162891 Thu, 27 May 2010 17:05:12 +0000 Rosie 162891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes with prints like this I have a hard time deciding if I love or hate them. This skirt is really comfortable. </p> <p><a href="http://www1.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi24147&#038;rootCategory=cat70018&#038;catId=cat90034&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;section=Sale&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat90034" rel="nofollow">http://www1.talbots.com/online.....e=cat90034</a> </p>
