I don't mind the pattern mixing in #1 at all, but I'd probably like it better if the sweater was white, not grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840816 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:22:02 +0000 Molly L-R 840816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And, FYI, waistcoats/vests are not dated; they are the very pinnacle of awesomeness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840814 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:21:12 +0000 Molly L-R 840814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eep - outfit #3 is love! Very posh eclectic. But I'd put it with a wide burgundy leather belt with some detailing on it just to stop the outfit from becoming too monochromatic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840666 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 05:42:50 +0000 AJ 840666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thanks for the replies and great suggestions! I'm not surprised that the SE booties are preferred for 2 and 3. I've worn them ALOT already for the 2 weeks I've had them!</p> <p>I am surprised that outfit #3 is well liked. I thought the forum would consider the vest dated and frumpy. I really like how the belt adds that extra zing. Not sure how it will translate on me, but I'll give it a whirl!</p> <p>@Tracina - the striped sweater might be a bit long, but I can always belt it. </p> <p>@Kiwichick - Actually my dress has the same v-neck as your #2 challenge dress. I just don't fill it out as nicely as you. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840560 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:44:24 +0000 Anonymous 840560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits and attention to the little details. Each one of these is a full-skirted work of art. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840559 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:43:37 +0000 catgirl 840559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aj, these are your looks and you will own them. I like Aida's suggestions, but these skirts are perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840556 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:41:41 +0000 Beth Ann 840556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are Queen Remix! You see things in garments and make combinations that are extraordinary! All the looks are great, but rack up another vote for #3 here!</p> <p>P.S. I think modern footwear would do wonders for #2 -- not "on trend" perhaps, but still a classic pairing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840535 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:29:59 +0000 Aida 840535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything about #1! For #2 I think only the booties work to keep the look updated. For #3 I would prefer to see those booties yet again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840340 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:41:50 +0000 tayleigh 840340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like all 3, but love love love #3. That vest is fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840318 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:12:30 +0000 Jjsloane 840318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOu'd look great in all of these .I think I'd prefer 1 without the necklace though. Would love to see YOU in #2 with the booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840301 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 23:51:12 +0000 Kiwichik 840301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of those. Might try the first one with the dress I just posted for the Dress Challenge Day 2 - good way to wear it into Autumn. I like the second outfit with the boots and I think the 3rd is great as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840166 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:34:41 +0000 Inge 840166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three are lovely, but #3 has that extra AJ sassy factor:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840116 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:46:43 +0000 jayne 840116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you put the jacket from 2 on the skirt from 1?<br /> I also might reuse the shoes from 1 on 3. Love the styling of 3 otherwise, what a great vest </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840076 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:16:36 +0000 Sarah A 840076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress form! I like #1 and #3 best. That is a great idea to put the sweater over the unflattering top in #1. I like the structure the vest brings in #3 and those great two tone shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840059 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 19:59:33 +0000 Anonymous 840059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all. Really like #1 with the pattern mix, in the photo the top looks kind of long but I imagine IRL it will ride up more and be just right. The animal print shoes are a cute thought on #2 but the bootie would also be great. #3 is very crisp/lady like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840010 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 19:23:50 +0000 Raisin 840010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh cool, what a great way to try out outfits. I think they all work well, my fav may be 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-840009 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 19:23:36 +0000 Suz 840009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aj, I ADORE these outfits, each and every one! The vest is super. I would love one like that. And that first skirt is so pretty and fresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-839997 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 19:08:20 +0000 Anonymous 839997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all. Those buttons look fine to me on 2 and 3 is lovely with the baroque vest. Aren't your shoes fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-839989 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 19:01:24 +0000 AJ 839989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deb, Elizabeth, and Thistle! Hubby bought DF for Mother's Day a couple of years ago. I keep it in my bedroom all dressed up.</p> <p>@TraceyLiz65 - Oh, your df is an adjustable one!! Extra FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-839954 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 18:35:13 +0000 TraceyLiz65 839954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dress form made it;s maiden voyage on my blog today, showing my thrift finds from the weekend. Next time I'm not feeling well, I 'll dress it in a full outfit. Thanks for the idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-839935 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 18:07:22 +0000 Thistle 839935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really like #2!</p> <p>Where would I put a dress form?!? How long before DD pulled it down on her head? 2.3 seconds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-839918 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:53:16 +0000 Aziraphale 839918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, Deb, I was just thinking the same thing -- *I* need a dress form! -- and then I read your post. </p> <p>AJ, the buttons on #2 are fine. I like them. And I think all of those outfits are lovely. I like your Baroque-ish vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-839914 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:50:03 +0000 deb 839914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want a dress form. Oh, I really like #1, and all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-full-skirts#post-839910 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:47:20 +0000 AJ 839910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so happy to see Angie's post this morning since I own many full skirts! DF (dress form) was more than happy to play along!</p> <p>I thought I'd try styling some orphan pieces...</p> <p>1) This "skirt" is actually a dress but the top portion is not flattering on me. I only wear it in the winter when I can layer a black turtleneck sweater over the top. How do we feel about this maximal striped-floral combo? </p> <p>2) I forgot I had this black, short sleeved safari blazer. Are the big buttons yucky? There are big buttons on the sleeve too, so I cuffed once to hide them. I'm hoping the SE Petty booties update the look a bit, but is the animal flat a viable option? If y'all give the green light, I might wear this one today to bring the kiddos to the mall for their monthly Lego build event.</p> <p>3) I like this vest for its subtle baroque vibe. I added the casual tab sleeve button down to make it less stuffy. Buttoning up the vest gave it a waitress vibe, LOL! So vest is open and I added a metallic belt to make it less restaurant-ish. Oh for the want of a fun metallic flat!!! These pumps have gold accents and a big buckle to bookend the belt. Alas, they are only 2 hour shoes, so I'll most likely wear my black ankle strap sandals which are MIA at the moment.</p> <p>OK, any of these passable? Thanks for your help and suggestions! </p>
