I like leggings with dresses that are too short for me to be comfortable wearing as dresses. And now Imagine a cardigan that is short-dress length: with a skirt on top of the leggings, that cardigan is now wearable for me with leggings and a regular top (instead of hunting up a tunic to match).<br />Karymk, you're too funny! Maybe Gryffin has started a fringe trend here on YLF.</p> <p>Another update: All Saints replied to an email I sent asking whether the Saffi leggings are expected to be restocked. They said no. Drat! I really should just make some of these puppies, but it would take me forever to get the design and fit the way I want it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1403088 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 19:53:20 +0000 gryffin 1403088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FYI - the skirt on the EF leggings is finger tip length on me.&nbsp; About 18" - 19" from the waist, 33" from shoulder.&nbsp; It's a miniskirt.&nbsp; Now I love me a nice mini skirt but I do know alot of fabbers prefer more coverage.&nbsp; So please be warned about the length!!&nbsp; Take your usual EF size, if you've never tried EF size down one size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1403051 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 16:24:18 +0000 karymk 1403051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker you look so hip in this outfit. &nbsp;I am checking out the EF leggings because I could stand to get a little Firecracker in my wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1403041 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 13:39:28 +0000 Elizabeth P 1403041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Gryffin (and firecracker), I appreciate the hijack - was hoping you'd see my question :)&nbsp;&nbsp; One more:&nbsp; Do you not feel like you're wearing a skirt that is really short?&nbsp; I have to admit I do like the idea of leggings with a bit more coverage for those shorter sweaters, if they can be worn that way rather than as a mini skirt.&nbsp; I'm someone who tends to reach for yoga pants on the weekends, the idea of a stylish version of those is VERY appealing.</p> <p>Sigh.&nbsp; You can see where this is going, right? :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1403038 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 13:05:22 +0000 gryffin 1403038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth - sorry firecracker to hijack the thread...,.it all started with trying to make just too short sweaters work with leggings. I was looking for a stretchy skirt which was difficult enough - than add to the bulk issue, skirt shift/rotation/potty adjustment issues - when I sat the EF all in one version I was ready to die happy. Cost almost immaterial. I could pick at I'd like a heavier fabric, tighter leg but they work and I was not sure if I would actually love them and they are workhorses. I'm the Cake song in my short skirt and long jacket!! So there you gave it. Hum. Maybe I will wear them today...,or tomorrow.....or.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1403027 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 10:23:14 +0000 Elizabeth P 1403027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find this very interesting, because I have to admit, I've never understood skirted leggings. Wouldn't leggings plus a skirt be more versitile? I am becoming intrigued, esp with how much Gryffin obviously loves hers. And the comparison to a running skirt has really piqued my interest as I think they are just about the best summer casual item of clothing, ever. </p> <p>So, would love to be enlightened, and failing that... Following with interest. :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402995 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 04:16:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1402995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, <b>Nebraskim</b>. I don't wear skirts to run, but I'm not against them.<br /><b>UmmLila</b>, lucky you! I bet they'd do a price adjustment, if it's within the return window. <br /><b>Deborah</b> and <b>jackiec</b>, I'm hoping All Saints will restock the Saffi. I've signed up for an email if they do.<br /><b>shevia</b>, I like the idea of the skirt and leggings being a match, and not having two waistbands to wear. <br /><b>gryffin</b>, it's all your fault! Ha ha! I kept seeing your comments about the ways you wear yours. </p> <p>Here's the latest on the Eileen Fisher ones. As <b>gryffin</b> says, they're on sale right now--and lower than the sale price I bought them at two weeks ago.&nbsp; I went online to reorder them today, and they're BACKORDERED UNTIL DEC 19! Aaargh! I called the store where I returned them yesterday and asked if they had them, and they are out in my size. But the sales associate said she could order them from another store; "3 to 8 business days ok?" "Yes, that's great." This evening I get an email saying my order was cancelled. Now I've gone back online to order them with the expected ship date of Dec. 19. We'll see if this order gets cancelled. . . . When I decide I want something, I'm like a terrier--I don't let go! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402981 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 03:18:54 +0000 gryffin 1402981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker - I love my EF skirted leggings!! Did you see they are on sale at Nordies for about $98? I just duplicated! I already have an extra squirreled away. That's how much I love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402979 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 03:16:27 +0000 Jaime 1402979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like a mini-skirt, and regardless of your excellent legs, I think you are right to send them off. I was thinking that a skirt like the one your posted would serve the same purpose over leggings, but maybe the built in skirt on the EF will be easier. Look forward to seeing the this in action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402976 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 03:11:23 +0000 jackiec 1402976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...love the looks of the Saffi....too bad you say they are sold out.

Of course today they announced 20 percent off sale through Monday. promo code THANKS. I blame Goldenpig for having looked good in her coat (I actually sent back the coat and sequin jacket I tried because they unfortunately didn't work for me.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402949 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 23:53:56 +0000 Nebraskim 1402949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I saw the image of these in Finds, I thought they were a running skirt with attached capri legging. The crossover from gear to fashion is interesting. Running skirts are vaguely controversial as some hate them, others love them. I'm in the love camp.

I want the sophisticated version of this look. I think the twisted pencil skirt version by All Saints (the Saffi) has potential, too, but it's not of any use if it's sold out, is it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402936 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 22:47:38 +0000 Deborah 1402936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was waiting for this review!&nbsp; Thanks.&nbsp; I think the EF ones will definitely work better for you.&nbsp; If I am being honest, I would suggest the EF ones are for&nbsp; 'grown up" women.&nbsp; The slightly longer length of the skirt creates a more sophisticated look in my <u>very </u>humble opinion.&nbsp; I also think the added length with create better proportions with your toppers.&nbsp; I will just say that you so have the legs for the shorter length so no issue there </p> <p>And now, I want a pair!&nbsp;&nbsp; It's all yours and Gryffin's fault lol.&nbsp; Now just thinking through which family member might need a Christmas gift idea for me lol</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402926 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 22:08:46 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1402926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks, <b>unfrumped</b>!<b></p> <p>jackiec</b>, I was surprised to see how short they looked today. I guess I thought they were longer because I tried on two smaller sizes at AS, and these were definitely longer than the smaller ones. </p> <p><b>Windchime</b>, that's interesting! I've thought of just making a black skirt to wear over black leggings, but then I'd have two sets of elastic at my waist--bleah! So I wonder how much bulk a detachable skirt adds to the pants.<br /><b><br />Suz</b>, I think your thread was where I got the idea; I've seen <b>Gryffin</b> mention them but couldn't find any photos. <b>Suja</b> had a pair that she posted, and she was concerned about whether she would wear them enough. So it's good to hear you're finding the concept really useful. I'm thinking I will, too. I also considered a version of what you're doing; there is a long fitted tank by Tees by Tina that can be worn as long as a minidress. But I thought sometimes I might not want the extra layer up top. And the Tees by Tina tank is super body-con.</p> <p>Yes, <b>Jules</b>, exactly--I'm wanting a "real clothes" look. Good way to put it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402919 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 21:48:56 +0000 Suz 1402919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a shame they are too short -- they do look great on you, but I can understand why you'd want something longer.&nbsp;</p> <p>This was my idea, too, after <b>gryffin</b> spoke about it. My compromise was that BR dress and tights because I didn't really want to have black (and these were blue instead). And I have to tell you, it is working out brilliantly for me! I'm wearing it at least once a week. It is cozy and comfy and works out of the house as well as at home. It has definitely added to my possible silhouettes and I am happy about that, and it's helped me get more use from the type of sweater you are talking about.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402915 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 21:41:51 +0000 Mellllls 1402915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think the ef ones will work more the way you are envisioning. &nbsp;good choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402914 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 21:41:21 +0000 Jules 1402914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, you have the figure for it but the skirt is so short they look like athletic gear or something... not like "real clothes", which is kinda the problem with unskirted leggings </p> <p>I noticed someone wearing skirted leggings recently too, a staff member at our daycare. I can totally see the appeal for comfort with modesty,&nbsp;in a fairly active and definitely casual job.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402912 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 21:40:13 +0000 Windchime 1402912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's a way to change up a silhouette! Too bad the skirt is too short, since the leggings feel so nice. Hopefully the E.F. will work out for you.</p> <p>Interestingly, just a few days ago I saw BCBG Maxazria black pants with a detachable skirt. I wonder if this concept will become more prevalent in the near future? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402908 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 21:33:11 +0000 jackiec 1402908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha!! Thanks for posting! I was wondering about the length too. I think you've made a good decision. Sounds like the length of the EF version is a bit more workable. Although you have the legs to totally pull these off </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402904 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 21:22:17 +0000 unfrumped 1402904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, that IS short. I am loving your adventures in fashion, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-allsaints-raffi-skirted-leggings#post-1402903 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 21:19:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1402903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I bought these AllSaints Raffi skirted leggings (and if you saw my <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-drape-leather" rel="nofollow">other thread</a>, you know what else I came home with. . .). Jackiec asked to see the leggings, and so when I tried them on at home today, I took a couple of photos to share. My intent is to wear them with long sweaters that aren't really long enough to wear alone with leggings (like the Free People shown below), or with my knee-length cardigan (also below in Finds) and a top, so I have front coverage, that kind of thing. When I put them on at home today I realize they are not going to work the way I want them to. The skirt is shorter than I thought it was when I tried on the leggings in the store. What I love about them, though: the fabric is super, super soft, a little thick and cozy feeling, and doesn't feel constricting. The black looks pre-washed and a little faded, so it's almost an off-black, which I liked. I sized up one from the usual US size I wear in, say, Kut from the Kloth or Halogen pants. </p> <p>So they will go back. I'll probably re-buy the Eileen Fisher ones, because the skirt was a nice length on that one, just a few inches above my knee. The AllSaints Raffi skirt falls about three inches above that. </p> <p>For comparison, the Eileen Fisher ones are a thinner, dressier looking, dark black fabric. They are rayon and lycra knit, and the skirt is very drapey. It seems like the same fabric as my EF knit harem pants. I also sized up in the EF ones, this time taking the same size I usually wear in Kut from the Kloth or Halogen pants (but I'm saying sized up, because usually in EF I take a size down). Sorry, no photos of the EF ones. </p>
