I actually like skater skirts myself and have a couple of them. They can be really fun and flirty, as unfrumped says.</p> <p>My favorite outfits of those you posted are the ones&nbsp;with the toppers. I find that structure on top looks best to me when wearing skater skirts, and all of your toppers have very clean, structured lines. But all the outfits were nice. And I don't think that the heels look overly girly. I like to wear my skater skirts with a pair of simple heeled booties. You could try that if you want a bit of a less feminine look for the footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257512 Wed, 21 May 2014 16:58:19 +0000 kkards 1257512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i don't think any look twee, but i really like #1 &amp; #6.&nbsp; <br />and i wonder if this would work in the fall with tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257507 Wed, 21 May 2014 16:50:45 +0000 cciele 1257507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All very grown-up and stylish!

I like #6 adn # 1 best. I like using just one other color, like white tops/nude pump or black tops but you've shown some other good options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257462 Wed, 21 May 2014 16:00:55 +0000 carter 1257462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #6 is fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257449 Wed, 21 May 2014 15:36:05 +0000 Neel 1257449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Janet, zibbets, Sara and Angie!

Number 2 doesn't speak to me, but the rest are fab! Not a twee one in the bunch.</p> <p>I think the hose work, especially if they make you feel more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257419 Wed, 21 May 2014 15:10:24 +0000 Neel 1257419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh well .... In this case the answer is simple. I want to wear it because DH bought it! I can't return it. So, I want to wear it in a way that I am comfortable in and yet look attractive for him. Only because he bought it ;). I normally don't do that. Really :)</p> <p>I really appreciate your honest response, unfrumped. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257380 Wed, 21 May 2014 14:36:00 +0000 unfrumped 1257380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I may take a different approach to some styling issues and questions.</p> <p>I think, why is it that you want to wear that skirt ? That's not a loaded question, it's&nbsp;just a&nbsp;basic question about what draws us to certain items and to create certain outfits. Because then we get to, wear the skirt but be sure it's&nbsp; not twee or do things to mitigate twee-ness. (just using twee as the going term; not sure that's even the right term). So the question is, what&nbsp;kind &nbsp;of look does that skirt help you achieve--maybe fun and flirty?&nbsp;and then you're just trying to line all of that up to the right degree. Why this skirt and not another skirt? Or get the look another way?</p> <p>Examples would be, sometimes I'm trying an item and I just know it's right, all the way. But then there might be an item that has some very specific features I need, but I'm not sure it checks all the other boxes I'd also like, or how to style so it does. For me, shoes are a good example. As in, these shoes are SO comfortable and "go" with lots of outfits, but...are they frumpy? Or, this longer skirt length is really&nbsp;elegant, but most&nbsp;stylings are shown with&nbsp;heels--if I style it with flats, will that destroy the very look I was hoping to achieve? Or, what features do the flats need to get closest to that look? Or maybe a perfect dress in the not-best color--it might be worth adding scarf or jewelry or topper to make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257306 Wed, 21 May 2014 13:16:10 +0000 Janet 1257306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, the only one I'm not fond of is #2. The neutrals or more tonal looks in the others keep the color palette more sophisticated and steer you away from twee. Nicely done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257301 Wed, 21 May 2014 13:11:07 +0000 Neel 1257301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your very helpful comments ladies.</p> <p>Leopardluxe - You are very sweet! I am glad I inspired you to wear your own skaters. I can't wait to see them. I am sure you could make them look bad ass!</p> <p>Unfrumped - When I wore that skirt with a few other tops and shoes I did feel overly twee! I tried to wear those heels to give it a more grown up vibe. Sneaks and ballet flats were taking me to the little-girl-skipping-to-school territory! I could try more masculine/RATE footwear choices like loafers, oxfords and slip on sneaks. Which is why I included my studded flats and brown oxfords in the outfits above. I could surely do all the outfits with RATE flats. But sadly I own only 2 for now that suit the skirt. Does the skirt look twee with girly heels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257282 Wed, 21 May 2014 12:17:37 +0000 Jaime 1257282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are #1, #6 and #7. You look great here but I would try flats also with this skirt. Hose did not bother me at all, or maybe I did not really see them on my monitor.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257269 Wed, 21 May 2014 11:52:38 +0000 viva 1257269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these posts of yours - you really know how to work a single piece really well. I especially like the mixed moods of 1, 8, and 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257259 Wed, 21 May 2014 11:20:27 +0000 Sveta 1257259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty skirt! Somehow I like it the best with white and the least with black (although #1 is great)<br />I especially like ##1, 3,4,6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257255 Wed, 21 May 2014 11:14:34 +0000 unfrumped 1257255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a pretty skirt and I like the pink/ blush with some black- the polka dots are fab That length several inches above the knee in a flare is going to look somewhat twee ( not called a skater skirt for nothing) and also more off balance with heels-/ compared to more grown up sheath styles above knee-- so it depends on your style persona and what you're aiming for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257243 Wed, 21 May 2014 10:20:26 +0000 fuzzylogic 1257243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow! I love your 'how to wear a .......XYZ'' posts, Neel! Sooooo fabulous! I don't see any of these as 'cutsie'. All are good for the wearing! My faves are 4&amp; 8. Thanks for sharing these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257235 Wed, 21 May 2014 09:48:44 +0000 leopardluxe 1257235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In all honesty there's not a single outfit you've shown that even hints at twee, imho. All your stylings look spot-on for an adult --and incredibly stylish as well! I especially love #5, #6 and #8.</p> <p>I know what you mean about skater skirts feeling twee, though. I have several I used to wear a lot when I lived in Vegas and they are a style I love because they are flattering on my petite frame, but I struggle with wearing them as I've gotten older because I feel like they look very teenager-like. I have the same struggle with fit and flare dresses even though those are my favorite style of dress.</p> <p>So your outfits have definitely inspired me to break out my skater skirts more once the weather warms up a bit (alas, our heatwave is over and we are back down to mid 60's weather, so no short skirts for me till the next heatwave hits). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257231 Wed, 21 May 2014 09:40:42 +0000 Joyce B 1257231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 4, 5 and 8. I think the shorter jackets look great with the skirt and also the purple flowery print top with the side tuck is very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-peach-skater-skirt#post-1257213 Wed, 21 May 2014 08:38:31 +0000 Neel 1257213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My challenge:  How to achieve a look that is NOT twee with a skater skirt!</p> <p>The color and the style read very twee to me!  I do have skater skirts - but longer and in darker colors and mostly evening wear kind.  Somehow they don't feel as twee!  I am wearing a nude hose to feel *covered*!  Is this nude hose ok for me?  It's my first!  And I wonder if I should go a shade lighter.  My arms seem to be a tad lighter than my legs.  I understand it might be difficult to figure that out due to the lighting issues.</p> <p>So here are my attempts at looking like a grown up!  Please help me to figure out the passes and fails!  Anything that looks overly twee will not be worn again!</p> <p>1) With black polka dotted blouse, black leather shoulder patch blazer and cut out booties.<br /> 2) With a green boxy top and nude sling back pumps.  The top's a christmas green and looks much better IRL with the peach skirt!<br /> 3) With a cropped white top and brown cut out oxfords.<br /> 4) With a floral top and nude sling back pumps.<br /> 5) With a black jeweled tee, classic black blazer and black ankle strap pumps<br /> 6) With a white fluid top, mixed media white blazer and nude pumps.  I am not sure if the shoes work here.<br /> 7) A zara copy attempt (in Finds)!  I could have used my brown oxfords. Oh well!  I noticed that the skirt sits much lower on the model.  The only way I can get this skirt to zip is if I wear it at my natural waist which is very high!<br /> 8) With a floral black and white tank, denim jacket and black ankle strap pumps<br /> 9) With a flowy hi-low black tunic and black ankle strap pumps</p> <p>Thanks for looking and sorry for the pic heavy posts of late!  Now I am off to clear my bed that has a mountain of clothes that I just pulled out from my closet o_O   </p>
