The sundress is new and I like it, for casual wear for the summer!<br /> - The stripey top is viscose, same as the one with the prints. I have worn it with my black skirt, so I hope it'll work with a new skirt too... (In the pic below)<br /> - Hm, good point! I haven't thought about that... I think I'll try and order a couple and see what they look like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1473212 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 17:31:16 +0000 rachylou 1473212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, first - I don't know if it feels too cutesy for you - but I like your 'apron look' in #5 (with the belt) (I would). Also the sundress in the second set of pics.</p> <p>Second - I think you could do some cute pattern mixing with the polka dots.</p> <p>Three - The stripey top looks to be cotton? It doesn't have the swingy, silky drape of your other tops... I'm not sure how well it would work with any of the shown skirt possibilities...</p> <p>Four - The gathering that starts right at the waist on all the skirts gives me pause. I'm not sure they won't fight your tops... or just bulk up your waistline... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1473097 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 12:03:22 +0000 Karin L H 1473097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Brooklyn! I'll probably go for a white and #8. I have a sweet spot for the mint green one as well though! But I agree with you that it's probably not as versatile as the others... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1473085 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 11:17:02 +0000 Brooklyn 1473085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi karin. I think a white skirt would be a good first choice. No 11 is really pretty and would be my second choice as long as you are happy with the slightly longer length. No 8 might be a preferable length for summer. I also think the mint green skirt would look very fresh and summery with tops 1 and 2 but perhaps not as versatile as blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1473068 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 08:37:21 +0000 Karin L H 1473068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your input kiwigal! I did consider a denim skirt but didn't find any I liked when browsing around. And with denim I won't get that flowy feeling that I'm after... But the one you found looks lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1473067 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 08:28:22 +0000 Sal 1473067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think blue would go with most of the tops - striped, printed, melon, black and maybe the other two. &nbsp;I like the blue in 11 the best - that is one of my favorite colours.</p> <p>I also agree a white skirt would be versatile for you.</p> <p>Or even a light blue denim one, here is one from my pinterest board that I pinned about three or four years ago and I still like the look very much.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/77898268524170056/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/77898268524170056/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1473066 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 07:40:22 +0000 Karin L H 1473066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you rabbit! I'm leaning more and more towards ordering t8, and maybe also one of the whites... I do like wearing leggings under skirts, 3/4 length, but I'm not sure if that works with the length and light colours of these skirts?</p> <p>In terms of shoes, I think I have 3-4 ones that I will mainly use (will see when I get my summer shoes out if I have forgotten any!). They are grey low sneakers, blue/grey shoes, brown sandals and white converse (all in the pics below). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1472925 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 22:08:22 +0000 rabbit 1472925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the most versatile one given all your tops would be white, and the ones you show look good. &nbsp;Would you be wearing them with bare legs? What kind of shoes? &nbsp;</p> <p>I also think the shape and color&nbsp;of #8 is lovely - and it would work with the black, navy, and coral top, and would work with a white top. &nbsp;The polka dot skirt might work with the striped shirt (depending on how the whites and darks match) and with the black top.</p> <p>Trying them on will be the best judge, of length, color, and how they fit at the waist and how the folds fall there.</p> <p>In terms of new tops, I'd look for a white one that either tucks, is slightly cropped,&nbsp;or has a welt or something that defines the waist.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1472849 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 18:45:07 +0000 Karin L H 1472849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks always trying! #8 is a bit of a favourite for me... And yes, definitely tucked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1472847 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 18:44:20 +0000 Karin L H 1472847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much Summer! #11 is a lovely colour... This is hard! Hm, I've never really considered white, but your right, maybe that would be good to start with? I think I've always associated white with like graduation and formal occasions, but maybe it would be a good basic?</p> <p>I found a couple of white ones that might work. What I'm thinking of doing is ordering one white and one of the blues (from the same online shop) to compare... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1472845 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 18:41:21 +0000 always trying 1472845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirts 8 and 10-tops tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1472821 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 17:34:31 +0000 Summer 1472821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karin, if you have few skirts, how about getting a white one first? That would work with all your tops. You could then add in more colours later on.</p> <p>Of the options you have shown, I think the blue skirt, 11, might work with most of your tops. I agree, that the polka dot one is lovely, but you would have limited options for matching with your tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1472798 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 16:08:32 +0000 Karin L H 1472798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for taking the time and commenting!</p> <p>crutcher, I love polka dots so I really like that one too..! But with that I can't really wear the tops with prints on... On the other hand I might not be able to wear the coloured tops with a coloured skirt either... Ah! Maybe I'll get one in colour and one with polka dots, hehe... </p> <p>Gennifyr, I'll definitely tuck the tops with the skirt, like in #2! I also really like the light blue on #8! It's from a Swedish online place, <a href="https://www.zalando.se/mint-berry-a-linjekjol-light-blue-m3221b041-k11.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.zalando.se/mint-be.....1-k11.html</a>.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1472793 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 16:02:25 +0000 Gennifyr 1472793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you wearing your tops tucked with the skirts? They look a little long otherwise.</p> <p>The black and white one would be easiest to match with but I'm loving the blue one (8) where is it from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1472782 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 15:19:06 +0000 crutcher 1472782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean about the black skirt looking heavy...I can only imagine a really hot and humid day and a black skirt..I do like the picture of the polka dot skirt..really summery...<br />I don't really like the dark top,leggings with the summer skirt over...Maybe a white tee and white leggings?..<br />Jeans look really casual with the tees..but you are looking for skirts...<br />I like 2 and 14 the best...the polka dot skirt looks just perfect...I think I saw a really gorgeous polka dot skirt at Anthro?...Thanks for sharing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt---help-with-colours-lots-of-pics#post-1472762 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 14:43:41 +0000 Karin L H 1472762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm planning to buy a skirt for summer, and could use some ideas! I have a black skirt now that I use quite a lot (#2), but the fabric is pretty thick, so it doesn't feel very summery. I could just get another black skirt with a lighter fabric, but I'd like to consider some options. </p> <p>Also, from a few years back, I have a floral black and white skirt, that I think I can still use (#5-6) which could be good for variation. </p> <p>To start, I currently have some tops that I know I will use during summer, so I'd like the new skirt to match (most) of them. (I'll probably get some new tops as summer is approaching, but these are the ones I have at the moment)</p> <p>#1 Stripey top</p> <p>#2 Printed top</p> <p>#3 Pale purple/greyish top</p> <p>#4 Orange-y top</p> <p>#5 Navy blue top</p> <p>#6 Regular black (tank?) top</p> <p>I have found some skirts online that I'm considering. What I'm after is a knee-length skirt, light and flowy, with a summery feel. Since the tops I have are both solid colours and with stripes/prints, I'm looking for a skirt with a solid colour (I think matching prints with prints will be too busy). I include a skirt with large polka dots still, just because I love the look! And yes, I'm drawn too blues and greens!</p> <p>#7 Grey skirt</p> <p>#8 Light blue skirt </p> <p>#9 Mint green</p> <p>#10 Pale blue</p> <p>#11 Blue/purple</p> <p>#12 Khaki</p> <p>#13 Camel/Blue</p> <p>#14 Polka dots! </p> <p>Any thoughts or ideas? Any colours I should look for or stay away from? All thoughts are much appreciated! (The colourful skirts might not work with the orange-y top, and maybe not with the pale purple/greyish either... I mostly match colours with black or denim, so I'm not used to colour+colour, but maybe that's something I can work on?)</p> <p>Thanks so much if you've managed to read this far and have looked at all the pics! </p>
