I absolutely love #5 on you ! 6 and 7 are next. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt/page/2#post-1998557 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 13:25:33 +0000 anchie 1998557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashintern - this is such great idea for turquoise cardingan, thank you so much. I do have a very high waisted flared jeans that may work. If I still fit in them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt/page/2#post-1998551 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 13:17:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1998551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those 3 cardigans are all great, very different shapes so will work with different things. The turquoise will be great with high waisted pants. Are you getting any white bootcuts? You could probably wear it with your yellows too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998542 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 12:52:45 +0000 Anonymous 1998542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep! #1 is my favorite since the top is more fitted, but I like all but #6 too. Long flowy skirts have always been easiest for me in the summer, with fitted sleeveless or halter tops to balance the volume on the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998536 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 11:05:19 +0000 anchie 1998536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Turquoise cardigan is really retro 50s , very cropped and fitted, I feel sexy secretary in it LOL. But because it is so cropped it doesn’t go well with pants, even high waisted. I used to wear it over summer dresses to protect from AC but don’t have any of those dresses any more, and my current ones don’t work. I do have few scarves that go with it, silhouette is my issue:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998535 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 10:57:16 +0000 Jessikams 1998535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the turquoise cardigan could be worn buttoned, as a top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998533 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 10:54:09 +0000 Katerina 1998533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about just combine with some neutrals - white jeans, black pants, tan pants, beige ..... Do you have any scarf which would pick up the colour? You could try to wear it open with a long scarf.... Or how about a yellow scarf - inspired by Angie? Or a pencil skirt to create a retro fifties vibe....<br /> Don’t mean to push, but I really like the cardi and I have seen some cropped cardis when I was browsing trends for 2019... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998530 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 10:44:54 +0000 anchie 1998530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina - thank you so much. Re cardigans - you are right about black, it is very classic and great for traveling - packs much better than a blazer - I should keep it. Gray long one I think I will give to DD - she already borrowed it few times and loves it. Turquoise one I am most uncertain what to do. I adore the color but it is a real orphan - can’t even show it to you because I don’t have anything to wear with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998527 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 10:10:01 +0000 Katerina 1998527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this skirt and I love it on you! The colours and pattern are gorgeous on you. I especially like the styling in no 1, 2 and 5 - perfection! I also like it with the black blazer. My least favorite is the combo with the long cardi.<br /> No scond thoughts on this skirt Anchie, it is a winner!</p> <p>As for the cardigans, they are great, especially the black. And the cropped turquoise will be right on trend. Maybe an outfit lab before you decide? They seem to be such versatile pieces..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998520 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 09:43:16 +0000 anchie 1998520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies. I am surprised at such a positive feedback as I was feeling very unsure about it. I have a hard time adjusting to new silhouettes, took me years to adopt skinny jeans and cropped pats, and now struggling with wide crops and skirts in any other shape then pencil.<br /> I hope you are not just being nice here ;)<br /> You are also probably right that it is still too cold for this skirt and maybe in a month or so I would feel better about wearing it. Do you think is it appropriate for work too?<br /> Regarding cardigan - well, to be honest I am not into cardigans, I have not bought or wore one in many years. I purged all but tree that I keep just in case but never wear. I saw somewhere midi skirt styled with long cardigan and thought of trying that myself but didn’t really like it also:) Is it time to purge my remaining 3 cardigans? They are all 7-10 years old but still in great condition. Or maybe I should start a new post to ask this question? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998515 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 08:26:27 +0000 Jessikams 1998515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t think you need any advice at all- looks great in all the pics you posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998472 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 00:55:32 +0000 Alicewonderland 1998472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt a lot! It looks great on you. Maybe it’s just too cold right now? It looks like you styled them without tights, maybe you will wear more as the weather gets warmer. Is the skirt thin? For some reason I don’t like it when my tights are thicker than my skirt, if that makes sense. I must admit I haven’t worn my pleated midi as much this season either, because I usually feel too formal in it for some reason. But you really look fab in yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998471 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 00:52:55 +0000 Suz 1998471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This skirt looks fantastic on you! I wish I could wear a pleated skirt so well. I got one a few years ago and could not figure out how to make it work on me. I like #5 best and then #4, #1, #7. You have many options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998468 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 00:15:49 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1998468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with all the black options you've shown. #1 is my favorite, because the top is more fitted. 5 is also fitted, but somehow that color seems to put your curves in a negative light. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998462 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 23:32:44 +0000 Sal 1998462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree - 1 345 are my picks! But all work except the long cardigan.</p> <p> I have a fuller skirt again this year and working out proportions again has been more difficult than I thought.</p> <p>Wear and enjoy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998460 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 23:23:47 +0000 Dianna 1998460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with kkards, Bijou, and Roberta, I like all of them on you, but 6.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998426 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 20:44:01 +0000 Roberta 1998426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of them, except 6, where I think the length of the cardigan competes with the fab skirt. I see others point about the cream top letting the skirt shine, but I also love the yellow sweater. The skirt reminds me of a midi skirt that I had 20 years ago, that I loved but could never properly style. You have nailed it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998425 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 20:42:59 +0000 JAileen 1998425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool skirt! My faves are 1 and 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998422 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 20:29:08 +0000 Kate 1998422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the skirt is lovely and you wear it well. My favorite is #5 with the white booties. Perfection. The booties bookend your beautiful hair perfectly. I can see switching out the black footwear for the white in all these outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998397 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 17:06:06 +0000 Mirjana 1998397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie, beautiful skirt on you . It is difficult to style that type of skirt but you really did it perfect. My favorite are no 1, 5 and 7, but the others are great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998393 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 17:01:43 +0000 Bennett 1998393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What bonnie said above, exactly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998384 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 16:21:58 +0000 Bonnie 1998384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #5, too. The white top really lets of beautiful colors on the skirt be the star.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998380 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 16:05:26 +0000 Anonymous 1998380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look good. My favorite is 5. I don't think you need a topper but like the jacket in 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998374 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 15:22:31 +0000 Angie 1998374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 is my KILLER fave. No contest. LOVE! (I prefer white to black so that's why).&nbsp;</p> <p>Next, I like: #1, 4 and 7.&nbsp;</p> <p>Great outfit lab, <b>Anchie.</b> I want a pleated midi too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998350 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 14:30:37 +0000 Bijou 1998350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with kkards - I like the skirt on you very much but not so much with the long cardigan. I find there is too much fabric with the draping cardigan and the pleated skirt - a tailored coat would work well.</p> <p>#1 is my favourite, but they all look good. Once you start wearing this skirt it will probably grow on you, I am very similar when it comes to moving away from my favourite silhouettes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998337 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 14:05:38 +0000 kkards 1998337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all but the long cardigan work...I think the length is off, but it may also the high low that’s throwing it off.<br /> My favs of these are #1 #2 &amp;#7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998330 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 13:59:44 +0000 Molly Mac 1998330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these looks but 3 &amp; 5 are my favorites. I would try the white boots with #3 for the bookend effect that Angie loves. The skirt is beautiful and should be taken out to play. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998328 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 13:59:05 +0000 Kathie 1998328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tucked top (1) or the tucked plus topper (6,7) the best, closely followed by the longer sweater in 2. The welt on the sweater in 2 does a nice job of taming/streamlining the pleats. Completely agree with your assessment that this might be easier to wear in the spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-lab---pleated-skirt#post-1998327 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 13:56:29 +0000 nemosmom 1998327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I think it's a fab skirt! The cold weather could be to blame for you not reaching for it. </p> <p>The colors and pattern are fun You've styled it really well - I like all of them except the cardigan - although I can't explain why - it just looks "off" to me. </p>
