It's going to be in the 90s tomorrow, and with humidity, it will feel like 100 degrees. Yuck. </p> <p>But I'm really glad it inspired you! I love your version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-358258 Mon, 30 May 2011 02:00:15 +0000 Debora 358258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, both are from Talbot's along with the striped skirt. I'm having some luck with their summer line.

Just curious... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-358251 Mon, 30 May 2011 01:46:58 +0000 Debora 358251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, thank you so much for the inspiration. I've had your outfit in my head for awhile now and never did find a striped blazer as wonderful as yours. I decided to try and recreate the look with a skirt. I hope you are getting a lot of wear out of your striped ensemble - it is truly fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-358113 Sun, 29 May 2011 19:20:28 +0000 bella 358113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-358111 Sun, 29 May 2011 19:17:48 +0000 Janet 358111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How'd I miss this? Debora, I'm flattered! All of these look great, but I am in special envy of your ability to wear horizontal stripes in a skirt! Oh, how I wish I could! </p> <p>I'm usually a bigger fan of a defined waist, but you wear the unbelted version beautifully too. Wonderful looks, all of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357984 Sun, 29 May 2011 13:43:00 +0000 rae 357984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great belted or not! If it's that hot, it may be more comfy unbelted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357982 Sun, 29 May 2011 13:32:02 +0000 Scarlet 357982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt looks great on you! I like all the variations, belted or unbelted. I think that is cute that you and DH turned up matching You must be in tune. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357978 Sun, 29 May 2011 13:17:31 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 357978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! No favourite - love them all. And like the others, I love the boxy tops. So inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357975 Sun, 29 May 2011 12:50:43 +0000 liss 357975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love love love love them all!!<br /> Particularly the striped skirt (and your handbags) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357801 Sat, 28 May 2011 21:43:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 357801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the striped skirt. I'm having trouble not filling my closet with stripes. I also really like the outfit in pic 5. I am a belter and think it looks great showcasing the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357791 Sat, 28 May 2011 21:16:09 +0000 Debora 357791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww...thanks, Julie!</p> <p>Medusa, good point! Forgot about the white bag! :)</p> <p>Thanks Beth! I got the red one from Talbot's last spring. The yellow one is an inexpensive one from Steinmart (last year also), and the white cross-body is a Cole Hahn that I found at the NYC Rack last summer.</p> <p>Lisa, I like your thinking! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357773 Sat, 28 May 2011 20:58:06 +0000 Lisa 357773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirt week I can't pick a favorite I like them all belted and unbelted. I suppose unbelted for hotter days and belt as it gets cooler. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357765 Sat, 28 May 2011 20:49:33 +0000 Beth 357765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing (and I know you look just as amazing IRL). Classy and playful. Is there anything else to say? :D</p> <p>That striped skirt made me click immediately over to check out the Talbot's site, and the unbelted look is so chic and modern on you. And the fab bags...where are you finding such adorable bags in the sea of oversized "luggage" out there these days? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357757 Sat, 28 May 2011 20:41:42 +0000 medusa 357757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thoughts without reading the other comments:</p> <p>#1-2: ADORE the striped skirt. ADORE! I like it better belted.</p> <p>#3: Nice, very polished.</p> <p>#4-5: Also cute. You look great in a white skirt! Again, I prefer belted.</p> <p>#6: Great outfit. The white bag really makes the look, and I bet your husband didn't have a white bag. So you weren't twins after all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357645 Sat, 28 May 2011 19:05:35 +0000 RoseandJoan 357645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debrora, I really want to dress like you. The stripe skirt is without doubt a keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357641 Sat, 28 May 2011 18:57:00 +0000 Debora 357641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind words Renata, Kim, Butterflylady, and Kyle!</p> <p>Angie, thanks for the Killer rating! You made my day!</p> <p>Angie, Jonesy, Sarah - I'm so glad the unbelted styles got YLF approval! I've really been feeling that boxy look this season and bought both tops on the same day.</p> <p>Sarah, I saw the more colorful version, too, and loved it! Sorry it didn't work for you.</p> <p>Jyoti - I've been looking for an item with Parisian stripes for a while, and was disappointed with a top I bought earlier in the season. I'm glad that the skirt is getting YLF approval!</p> <p>Nancylee and Kari - Thanks! A simple necklace is about all I can handle for accessories when the weather gets hot. Here's a closeup of my pendant. I found it in a Brooklyn vintage shop when I was shopping with my daughter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357632 Sat, 28 May 2011 18:21:54 +0000 sarah 357632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*doing a little boxy top dance here*</p> <p>I realize I tried on a version of that skirt in the southwestern stripe, and it just didn't fit me properly. I'm so glad it fits you so well.</p> <p>I thought this was pretty, too, though.</p> <p><a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi26651&#038;rootCategory=cat70008&#038;catId=cat80016&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;section=Regular&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat70008" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....e=cat70008</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357622 Sat, 28 May 2011 18:04:39 +0000 Kari 357622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love #3 and 5. The elegant simplicity of those outfits - especially the statement pendant in #3 - just seems very chic and perfect for spring/early summer weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357602 Sat, 28 May 2011 17:30:13 +0000 Jyoti 357602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the striped skirt! A nice twist on the Parisian/nautical striped trend. I like both belted and not-belted, so you could just alternate the two looks. xD </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357600 Sat, 28 May 2011 17:25:12 +0000 nancylee 357600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fresh and attractive...every look! And you're giving me inspiration for summer dressing, which I normally hate. This straight skirt and top with necklace is my go-to look for warm weather...but your creative styling is giving me some new ideas. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357594 Sat, 28 May 2011 17:13:38 +0000 Angie 357594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*waving at Jonesy and Sarah!* I love Debora in the un-belted soft boxy tops too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357590 Sat, 28 May 2011 16:59:54 +0000 sarah 357590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, goodness, how did I miss that skirt at Talbot's? I absolutely LOVE it on you - and I love it with the boxy top unbelted, like Jonesy - that is a super chic silhouette, IMHO. ALL of the outfits are to die for, but that striped skirt is killing me. Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357573 Sat, 28 May 2011 16:27:21 +0000 Jonesy 357573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super-duper gorgeous!! I prefer those fab boxy tops unbelted, but I'm guessing I'm in the minority. They look cute belted for sure, but somehow unbelted seems more modern and effortless, IMHO. The proportions look perfect! I especially love that striped skirt on you--very Prada :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357568 Sat, 28 May 2011 16:05:19 +0000 Kyle 357568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what looks good on you and you always execute beautifully. I love the playfulness of the striped skirt, especially. I also like both your belted and unbelted looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357563 Sat, 28 May 2011 16:00:03 +0000 ButterflyLady 357563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous - I love them all (I am slightly worried you might fall into your bathtub, though, perched on the edge like that!). That shape of skirt is exactly the shape I have been searching for (and failing to find) over here in the UK. The belt is great - you've certainly made it work hard for you in the past week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357561 Sat, 28 May 2011 15:49:40 +0000 Angie 357561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>a KILLER skirt week.</p> <p>You are one fabulously turned out lady, Debora! Can't pick a favourite because you look amazing in everything.</p> <p>*waving at my sandal twin* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-week-plus-stripes-inspired-by-janet#post-357507 Sat, 28 May 2011 13:53:42 +0000 Queen Mum 357507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you wear skirts SO well!

The thermometer has hit the mid-nineties, so no layering. It's hot!</p> <p>#1-2 A new striped skirt from Talbots. I was inspired by Janet's outfit with her striped blazer and red bag. I wish I could find her original post. So, should I keep? How about belted or unbelted?</p> <p>#3 What I wore on the hottest day this week. Olive linen shirt with black sleeveless ballet tee and vintage locket. I bought the tee in petite for the shorter length to go with skirts.</p> <p># 4 -5 New navy poet top from Talbot's with RL white denim pencil skirt. Which looks better - belted or unbelted?</p> <p>#6 Olive blouse with navy skirt. Tucked, which is a rarity for me. (Please excuse the wrinkles - the photo was taken later in the day.) I met hubby for a casual dinner last night and realized that he was wearing a shirt the EXACT same color. ARRRRG! We looked liked twins - so embarrassing! </p> <p>#7 My new brown skinny belt! As you can see, it's getting a lot of use this week. It is so soft and pliable. :)</p> <p>Next on my wishlist is a full skirt! </p> <p>Thanks! Comments and suggestions are welcome! </p>
