You're right, it's a statement for itself. I think what combination I'm likely to end up with depends on the mood I'm in when I dress . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-635275 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 10:43:14 +0000 Irene 635275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like two best, but that's because I'm minimal and think that skirt speaks for herself... ALONE! Beautiful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-635273 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 10:38:45 +0000 Astrid 635273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Celia! You're right, black is definitely more of a statement. </p> <p>Thanks Kiwichik! I have red and aqua on my list of possilble colors to look out for when I'll shop for tops. I agree that these would look great!</p> <p>Thanks Claire! That's a possibility, as long as it's not too warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-635245 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 06:59:30 +0000 Anonymous 635245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the way the black belt lowered your waist in number 2. You could pop the green jacket over top. I think the black vest performs a similar function.</p> <p>That print was *made* for you Astrid! It plays off your coloring beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-635201 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 04:19:21 +0000 Kiwichik 635201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh love that skirt and all the combos. Would love to see it with red &amp; aqua as well although you have Done it with the red ikat top which is a great pattern mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-634512 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:05:47 +0000 celia 634512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all but my preference goes to the black tops, for me it looks like a stronger statment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-634485 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 15:38:16 +0000 Astrid 634485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rita and Kirti!</p> <p>Thanks Inge! I don't have any of the colors you mentioned when it comes to button downs. I think I would prefer to leave a button down shirt untucked with this skirt and I'd need a really short one for that.</p> <p>Thanks Meredith! I'm still searching for the perfect white t-shirt. I agree, white would be nice!</p> <p>Thanks Suz! The slip is a good idea, I'll have to see where I could get one.</p> <p>Thanks Sarah!</p> <p>Thanks Beth Ann! I haven't tried it yet, but I agree that a turquoise top would look fab with it. I can see what you mean about the pattern mix.</p> <p>Thanks Una! That's funny about the points, I wouldn't even have thought about this.</p> <p>Thanks Aida! I tried it, but it didn't work, it was too boxy and long to leave it untucked over the skirt and too billow-y to tuck it.</p> <p>Thanks Diana! I definitely want that lighter wash denim jacket.</p> <p>Thank you so much Angie! I'm glad I could make it work. :)</p> <p>Thanks Harmonica! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-634377 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:23:38 +0000 harmonica 634377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FAB! All of them are just great, but my favorite is #2 and #3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-634119 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 02:25:07 +0000 Angie 634119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the incarnations and think you look amazing! Personally, I like #2 best because it's the crispest of the bunch. But you rock them all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633983 Thu, 31 May 2012 22:52:06 +0000 Diana 633983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these, Astrid, and it looks like you are off to a good start with outfit ideas. I think a lighter wash blue denim jacket or waistcoat might be fab here too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633981 Thu, 31 May 2012 22:48:54 +0000 Aida 633981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them ALL but would prefer #4 without the necklaces. #1 and # 3 are my absolute favorites. Did you try it with your blue silk button-up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633965 Thu, 31 May 2012 22:24:03 +0000 catgirl 633965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only one that is not wowing me is the vest - I think the points at the end are distracting. But the other combinations are all fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633950 Thu, 31 May 2012 22:11:32 +0000 Beth Ann 633950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful skirt, and I love it with the belt! I'm undecided about the pattern mixing. I think you've done it expertly, but I'm not sure it adds to the skirts charms. This will work well 3 seasons of the year. Have you tried to bring out the lighter blue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633905 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:41:48 +0000 sarah 633905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've found some great ways to style this skirt. I especially like 1, 2, 4, and 5. Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633853 Thu, 31 May 2012 20:38:32 +0000 Suz 633853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love every single one of these. Super fab. What a wonderful find. I think this skirt can be dressed up and down really easily. </p> <p>And you know the thing about tights and the cotton? I wonder if a slip would solve that so you could wear it into fall with boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633842 Thu, 31 May 2012 20:27:24 +0000 Meredith1953 633842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for 1, 4, and 5! I really like that skirt on you! A white top or jacket would be cute also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633823 Thu, 31 May 2012 19:53:19 +0000 Inge 633823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's such a stunning skirt, Astrid, what a find! I like #1, #2 and #5 best, and also love the idea of the denim waistcoat, and the righ cropped top.<br /> Do you have a white button-down shirt or a bright blue, or darker blue one? I would imagine they could look very crisp (instead of too sweet and innocent). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633814 Thu, 31 May 2012 19:42:31 +0000 Kirti 633814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1, #2, #4 and #5! Great outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633769 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:34:45 +0000 modgrl 633769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This skirt is really lovely! I like 1 and 4 alot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633768 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:33:31 +0000 Astrid 633768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Erica! The only skinny belt I have is a color that's too similar and you almost didn't see it. But I agree, that would be a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633766 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:30:09 +0000 Erica 633766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these! I really like the potential this skirt has for pattern mixing, too. And you look fabulous in it Have you tried a skinny belt with it-- pushed down about to the bottom of the waistband? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-new-skirt---some-observations#post-633739 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:03:53 +0000 Astrid 633739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I just played around with the skirt for an hour and tried to work with the things I already have in my wardrobe. That's not much unfortunately, but I think I know better now what to search for. Here are the combinations I liked best.</p> <p>#1 With the cropped jacket. I like this a lot! I don't have a blue cropped denim jacket (my old one was passed down to my sister), but it's on my list. </p> <p>#2 Lowering the waist with a wide belt. The top is normally just a layering top, so I want to try if I can find a more substantial navy top as an alternative.</p> <p>#3 Pattern mixing anyone? Is it too much? I like it, but maybe I'm crazy. </p> <p>#4 With a pile of necklaces and a simple black shirt. The shirt is a bit tight (another layering shirt), but I like the idea.</p> <p>#5 With my black waistcoat. I really like the way this looks and I'm thinking about getting that denim waistcoat I was talking about. </p> <p>I also think that it will look perfect with some casual cropped tops, but I think these will be hard to find.</p> <p>I also tried my different cardigans and button downs or blouses and I didn't like the results all that much. They were too sweet and innocent looking in my opinion. I preferred some structure on top (jacket/waistcoat) or a more boho or casual look.</p> <p>What do you think? Do you prefer a certain look and if yes - why? </p>
