Love number two but it is not a replacement as it has such a different vibe.

Now, MJP brings up a good point - what else do I need to replace instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390462 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 18:07:16 +0000 sarah 390462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1, too - at its current midi length. Sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390444 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 17:34:45 +0000 Vildy 390444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I opened the thread *just* to get a good look at that white skirt outfit!<br /> Count me in with the folks who thinks the one you have is far the best.<br /> It doesn't look "too" anything to me, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390442 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 17:13:33 +0000 Dashrashi 390442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Second the suggestion to hem the one you have, and a note that, to me, #2 looks like it would be too hot to wear on very hot days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390436 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 17:02:43 +0000 jazM 390436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>all three are very nice skirts but i mostly like #2!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390430 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:51:21 +0000 MNsara 390430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also loving #1 best. What about shortening it to just above your knee cap? You have such great legs and I know you rock those short skirts. Maybe a bit shorter would give it a fresh feel for the next year or so? (I don't know if that's it's lining or a slip in the pic, but shortening it to within an inch or less of where that ends. . . ?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390422 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:16:03 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 390422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know how much fun it is to get new things, and God knows, I love me some retail therapy from time to time, but I have to agree with the others, the first one is gorgeous on you.</p> <p>Anything else you think needs replacing that you can use the credit towards? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390420 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:12:38 +0000 Janet 390420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not crazy about 3 either. I love zippers too, but the black is very stark against the floaty white layers, and the length seems quite short. </p> <p>I like #2 but it is so much more structured than your current skirt that I also wonder about whether it's a true replacement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390417 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:06:52 +0000 rosee 390417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the original skirt -- it's a classic number that will prove to be very versatile. The other 2 skirts are cute but will date quickly. Of those 2, I prefer #2 -- #3 can be a little "hoochie" if not styled very carefully. The closer to the body shape of #2 is more preferable to the looser and shorter style of #3. BUT I agree with the others that you should keep #1 instead. Sorry -- probably not what you wanted to hear (read). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390415 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:04:51 +0000 Mo 390415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jjsloane, I can return the flowy one but not the high waist. I find it interesting that so far everyone likes my old linen one best! Hmm, maybe I do need to just cool my jets for a bit lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390413 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:03:03 +0000 Mo 390413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks C1 and Debbie! I guess it just doesn't sing to me like the others . . . but I've been known to be wooed by a zipper or two </p> <p>(Glad you are enjoying the dress! I was sad that it was too big for me. That's a perfect example of getting sized out - it was xs, the smallest available!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390412 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:02:59 +0000 Jjsloane 390412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In regards to your justification to purchase I don't think it's sneaky, but clever so no worries. I don't think the 2 replacements are technically replacing skirt #1 (which I also like the best). I like #2, can you return if they don't work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390410 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 15:57:15 +0000 devon7 390410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with crazyone. I like the one you have much better. You look beautiful in the photo (#1). Of course, we all have different tastes and styles, but from the photos I've seen of you (and the fact that I got one of your cast-off dresses, which I love!), we have a similar sense of style and similar body shapes. The skirts in #2 and #3 would look good on you (esp. if #3 is longer), but I love the streamlined look in #1. It accentuates your nice hourglass shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390407 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 15:44:10 +0000 crazyone 390407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the one you have better than the other two... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-a-syc-fast-one-or-which-skirt#post-390405 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 15:38:51 +0000 Mo 390405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on a take-in-no-more-stuff mission until we move this fall sometime. But certainly I can exchange and update, right? It's the same amount to pack And I have a balance in my paypal account from a return that is fair game.<br /> It's okay, you can tell me if I'm being sneaky and just trying to cheat myself! </p> <p>At issue is my white linen skirt that's a tad long/big and okay but not special to be sure (pic 1). I have two possible contenders for replacement. Both have zippers (shock! lol) but one is quite high waisted and structured while the other is a low waist, flowy viscose number. I can't say I really have any high waisted items but I LOVE the look of this skirt (pic 2). But I wonder if I can make the high waist really work for me. I feel like the flowy skirt (pic 3) is more in line with the one I am replacing but don't totally love it at first sight like the cotton one. EDIT: this model is much bigger than I, it would be a low waist on me and not a miniskirt in length either!</p> <p>Should I just cool my jets and leave this all alone, or try a new high waist for a change, or go with the updated flowy version that's easier to work into my closet right now? </p>
