I really like it (#4 is too much for me, but hey, I'm not MaryK). Your dog is really cracking me up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-733205 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 02:05:34 +0000 deb 733205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this skirt and think #4 may be too matchy. But we could be purple skirt triplets with MaryK </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-733137 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 01:13:34 +0000 Parsley 733137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil, I have to admit that I would never have thought of Barney or floozies when looking at your pictures!<br /> I like the skirt a lot, especially with the denim jacket. I'm not as crazy about it with the matchy sweater and houndstooth together. Maybe with a simple shell it would work.</p> <p>Your dog is a hoot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-733135 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 01:04:09 +0000 JR 733135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have nothing really useful to add, but the title of your post makes me laugh every time I see it. :o) Barney's floozy sister... Because that is the first word that springs to mind when I think of Pil: floozy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-733088 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 00:00:17 +0000 pil 733088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sylvie, I don't have a top like that. Do you think a fine knit or something more blouse like? I do have some holiday and girls night out events coming up. If I find a top that works it would save me looking for a dress, and the top could also dress up jeans.</p> <p>KathyL, the boots came from our local Younkers but it was probably four years ago. They are Anne Klein 2 - Grappa. Actually quite comfortable.</p> <p>QueenMum, KatieKat, krishnidoux, Rachylou, Isis and kellygirl (hope I got everyone) thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. My four legged girl thanks you too. She is the itchy girl I took to the vet in my last WIW post and she is doing much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732962 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 22:02:09 +0000 Sylvie 732962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In that case, do you have a sparkly or evening-ish top to wear in #4? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732958 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 21:54:09 +0000 kellygirl 732958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL at the persistent pooch! I love the skirt with the houndstooth blouse. Too funny about the sunglasses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732957 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 21:53:57 +0000 Isis 732957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the denim jacket. AND I like it matchy matchy with the sweater... </p> <p>I don't think it looks too corporate at all. The booties are a nice touch too!</p> <p>Versatile skirt; keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732943 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 21:39:57 +0000 rachylou 732943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #4, but I don't think I'd wear boots. Chunky shoes yes, but not boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732940 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 21:36:03 +0000 krishnidoux 732940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like it! And I love the shirt.<br /> It has a great cut. If you are comfortable in it, keep.<br /> Lovely dog! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732922 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 21:18:30 +0000 KathyL 732922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the denim jacket as well. Agree with others that #4 is too matchy for me (but not Barney-esque at all! LOL) Your dog is adorable, by the way!</p> <p>P.S. I am on the hunt for ankle boots, do you mind telling me where yours are from? I love how they look fitted at the ankles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732918 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 21:13:12 +0000 MsLuna 732918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the skirt! I would say that pairing it with a darker top/jacket is best. It makes the skirt stand out more. #4 looks a bit too matchy-matchy (as Una said), and #3 feels like both tops are competing for attention (bright skirt vs pattern). I do like the shirt with the jacket on in #1 though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732913 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 21:07:32 +0000 Queen Mum 732913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1 and 2. #4 is a bit matchy matchy to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732859 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:21:59 +0000 pil 732859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She is a persistent pooch, isn't she? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732857 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:19:31 +0000 MsMary 732857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, the dog is hilarious!</p> <p>I don't have any trouble with the belt sliding around. You could also wear a chambray shirt untucked, with the belt over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732852 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:16:42 +0000 pil 732852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, you look adorable in everything. I love how you have styled that. Does the belt stay put without loops? Don't forget I am also about the same size as Barney. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732849 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:14:45 +0000 pil 732849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle, I didn't even realize she was in the photo until I got on the computer to edit. Now that I think of it I did just get home from a friend's house and she must smell their dogs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732845 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:11:54 +0000 MsMary 732845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would totally wear #4 as is! But take that with a grain of salt because, you know, it's me! LOL</p> <p>For a casualish evening, I love my bright colored Halogen pencils with a chambray top and neutral accessories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732842 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:10:13 +0000 texstyle 732842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure I can get past your dog's hilarious pose in #1, #2. Okay, okay, I think I can. How cute!</p> <p>I like it with the denim jacket #1 but I'm not sure I love it styled without it. It looks a little too "corporate" to me without the denim. The skirt seems to fit fine - not overly tight but it is fitted. I would avoid wearing the jacket and skirt together myself. I think you could wear the skirt with many other jackets - esp. cropped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732836 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:05:20 +0000 pil 732836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaskagirl, it does feel a bit snug but not uncomfortably so. I'm optimistically hoping my thyroid finally submits to cooperating and my clothing will be back on an even keel. I never really see the backside and was afraid there might just be too much "there" there.</p> <p>Well Sylvie, it IS an evening fundraiser : ) but no fashion show. Silent auction and a speaker so not a whole lot of up and around activity. More business casual I suppose. There will be a bit of everything there attire wise - even a prom dress in a past year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732824 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:56:46 +0000 Sylvie 732824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is your venue?</p> <p>I quite like #1/#2. I think you've styled it well.</p> <p>In #4, the cardigan + skirt is a lot of a single bright color. I think it can be pulled off, but you have to own the look. The cardigan just doesn't have enough structure to make it work as a bright, business casual suit. But if you were going to a fashionable event, a silver sparkly top would give you a very glamorous look with a nod to the suit effect. I'm thinking something like an evening fundraiser with a fashion show. Or for a girls' night out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732817 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:52:24 +0000 catgirl 732817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Barney's sister was a floozy? LOL!</p> <p>I [refer it with the darker jacket. The last one is too matchy to my eye. But I don't see anything Barney here.</p> <p>The fit looks fine to me with a topper. Does it feel tight? I often avoid pencil skirts because I can't wear them without a jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-pencil-skirt---or-do-i-look-like-barneys-floozy-sister#post-732811 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:47:47 +0000 pil 732811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This purple Halogen pencil skirt just came the other day and I am in love, perhaps foolishly so. I ordered it not realizing it is the same color as my Halogen tipped sweater. The sweater was recently exchanged for a larger size, which fits better. Yes, I knew they were both purple but not the *same* purple. I have an event to attend next week which would be the perfect venue for this skirt - if it doesn't look foolish on me.</p> <p>I do like it in picture 1 with the denim jacket and boots. However, what do you think of the fit - pics 2 and 3? It is a bit more snug than my black pencil skirt. Pic 4 is the Barney's floozy sister version. I know the colors are the same, but it IS entirely too much, isn't it? Is there a way to style it so the two pieces work together? What about a denim or chambray shirt? Or nude hose? The only other shoes that would be much different would be a pair of gray flats or my Sam Edelman suede booties.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and my apologies in advance if I've hurt anyone's eyes! </p>
