It's funny but if I saw you in the street I think the "skirt" part of the outfit is the last thing I'd notice :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429589 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 20:55:46 +0000 columbine(erin) 1429589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone else...when I saw your first picture with these I liked the over the knee boots. Booties could work too but it's a lot of leg line to expose I guess.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429582 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 20:42:17 +0000 catgirl 1429582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny because I don't wear my OTK boots all that often and I worried they would be too much with the skirt - but I think you all are right that they offset the short length. Cake song altered to "short skirt and long boots"... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429576 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 20:31:55 +0000 Diana 1429576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it bad that I kind of want a butt-vest just to wear with my OTK boots?&nbsp; (My fake skirted leggings work with other footwear but not my OTK boots because my skirt is too long.)&nbsp; You look so cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429574 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 20:27:51 +0000 Marley 1429574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The OTK boots are the key here - I think! &nbsp;I like all renditions on you Una!<br />Suz - what makes you think that you are limited to&nbsp;<b>preppy??? &nbsp;</b>Did I miss something in another thread? &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429573 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 20:27:20 +0000 Jeanie 1429573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all of these&nbsp;with the citron sweater being my favorite movie roll ready look!&nbsp; I feel like the OTK boots are what really makes the skirted leggings work. &nbsp;I wasn't sure why but I think <b>gryffin </b>explained it by saying it created a less obvious leg line. &nbsp;I think others mentioned liking Suz's taller boots in her post. &nbsp;&nbsp;You would think booties would be the go to choice but somehow the taller boots just work. &nbsp;Thanks for posting these for us to learn. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429558 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 20:05:35 +0000 crutcher 1429558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your pictures...all of them...Wearing OTK boots is a good style point but as Firecracker says you really don't need OTK boots to wear &nbsp;this look...I wear mine with knee boots, short booties, sneakers, etc...Just wear them and enjoy them and don't over analyze the sweet little outfits that these fun pieces can make... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429536 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 19:18:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1429536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, these are all great. I especially like 3 for the interesting angles. The OTK boots give the outfits a bit of edge. <br />And Suz, I don't think you need OTK boots to wear these. I've worn knee-high boots and booties with my skirted leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429532 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 19:15:42 +0000 Angie 1429532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The knee-high boots bring it all home. Nicely done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429491 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 18:20:33 +0000 texstyle 1429491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the boots reduces the gap of legs so much that it takes away from the feeling of "mini" in the skirt. I also think you've created pretty edgy looking outfits that are very Una to me. I think these all look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429489 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 18:15:51 +0000 catgirl 1429489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, yes - instead of a butt vest we could think of it as a long cami without the top part. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429487 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 18:13:51 +0000 Anonymous 1429487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, you look terrific in all these outfits. I see you as using the skirted part as a layer that helps cover when a top is a bit too short for regular leggings. Something like wearing a longer tee under the top to hang out below it. They seem totally natural for your style. The boot choices help too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429484 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 18:06:30 +0000 catgirl 1429484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, that is the same question I'm pondering for you and me both!&nbsp; You are on my think tank list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429482 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 18:03:27 +0000 Deb 1429482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the way you've styled each one. Your fabulous boots pull the look together really well and make the difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429479 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 17:59:43 +0000 Suz 1429479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these on you. My favourites are probably 1 and 3. I love the asymmetrical line of the tunic in 3 and #1 feels super cohesive and a bit sporty. They're all sensational.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think the OTK boots may be helping a lot here. The truth is, I would probably feel a bit out of my comfort zone in OTK boots to begin with, although with the right, sleek, flat ones (like the Weitzman's, probably) I HOPE I would get used to it and feel good. But I don't currently own any.&nbsp;</p> <p>I definitely took the comments in the spirit they were intended and feel no upset on that score. My only question is how the heck can I <b>evolve </b>my style if I am limited to preppy?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429466 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 17:30:29 +0000 Anonymous 1429466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to get a poncho sweaterish thing. &nbsp;These are good - like them all. And, in my not-very-humble opinion, I think certain items of clothing, certain looks etc benefit from not being over-analyzed (which you are not doing)&nbsp;&nbsp; If it feels good and you like it, wear it! &nbsp;If you question it, chances are it's not for you. &nbsp;It's just clothing &nbsp;*whistles off into the sunset* &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429463 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 17:23:48 +0000 rachylou 1429463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, for some reason, this look is a totally a no-brainer in you. I was trying to pick a fav of the lot but I cant. Maybe the light asymmetrical grey sweater. I've just been noticing tho your skeggings are grey! Are these EF? The grey seems just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429462 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 17:22:06 +0000 gryffin 1429462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Una - first I really like your leggings with the otk boots.&nbsp; The boots appear a washed black in the photos which decreases the contrast with the leggings plus it makes the short skirt deliberate and less obvious with less leg line.&nbsp; I like renditions 2&amp; 3 best because of the angles created by the Hinge split hem and angular drape of the poncho sweater.&nbsp; That's why I wondered about how it would look with the tambrel.&nbsp; I'm a low contrast girl personally, so this is my opinion both 1&amp; 4 look good.&nbsp; I would wear 1 in a heartbeat but put my long gray dana buchman blazer over it.&nbsp; What I look for is an inside or outside column of color with this style.&nbsp; It's dressier and&nbsp;always flattering but I am princess formal.&nbsp; But I really like 1 as is too because the gray stripe picks up the legging and black the boots and hair - nice color blocking and repetition going on but its a bit choppier because the of horizontal breaks although by going monochromatic you very nicely minimized that.&nbsp; Number 4 is the highest contrast but still works because the leggings/boots play so nicely together.&nbsp; The top is such a fun color and the sweatshirt triangle nicely points to the long line.&nbsp; Did you try your moto vest over that?&nbsp; Just for kicks.&nbsp; Sorry, I'm all about the "third" piece so feel free to&nbsp;ignore.&nbsp; Bottom line I like them all but for different reasons!!&nbsp; Fab styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429461 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 17:21:57 +0000 KikiG 1429461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now **I** really want a butt vest. &nbsp;Love #2.<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429454 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 17:12:31 +0000 Janet 1429454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all work, and this look is a no-brainer on you! 2 and 4 are my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirted-legging-experiments#post-1429449 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 17:07:50 +0000 catgirl 1429449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are from the other day when I first got them.&nbsp; I'm not sure if they work, but they are quite similar to what Suz posted.&nbsp; Would love to hear thoughts and when I have time, I'm going to elaborate a bit more too.&nbsp; I found the comments about the differences between Suz and me quite interesting.&nbsp; I'm not much for comparing myself to others, and I hope Suz took it as I did, in the spirit of learning.&nbsp; And hearing everyone's perceptions was absolutely fascintating!</p> <p>More on that later... For now, these very random styling attempts:</p> <p>1. Old striped tunic</p> <p>2. UWP hi-low sweater</p> <p>3. Poncho sweater</p> <p>4.&nbsp; Citron sweater</p> <p>I realize I did kind of treat the skirt as a "loincloth" (thanks, Dashielle!).&nbsp; Anyway, make of these what you will!</p>
