Not sure I'm crazy about it for you either--it's hard to tell with the white top and bare legs. Have you posted your challenge outfits with the 2 you're on the fence about? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2282247 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 20:17:25 +0000 Sal 2282247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary Beth - your comments are astute. The grey is going. The navy and stripe are ready to wear- but I have also realised that a particular top I used to wear with them has been passed on. So at the moment I am pausing til it’s a bit warmer. But I think it likely they might both go…. I have a couple of dresses up for consideration too- I want to look at the wardrobe together. I did a large edit in 2018 and this might be the next one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2282189 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 12:05:39 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2282189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just peeked in, and I’m glad 1, 3, and 4 are staying! &nbsp;Those are my favorites, and they suit the sense of movement and positive energy you convey in your photos.</p> <p>I dislike #4, regardless of occasion or season, because I think gray color is drab and smooshes down your energy.</p> <p>#2 is eh for me. &nbsp;There’s no movement or energy to this skirt, but the color is pretty on you. &nbsp;I’d only say keep it, if wearing it isn’t pulling you away from wearing something you’re more excited about. &nbsp;</p> <p>#6 has color and should have a sense of movement, but somehow feels off. &nbsp;Like the pleating is too strict and holding back the energy.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281968 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 19:42:48 +0000 Sal 2281968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to disappear- I had a couple of days away. </p> <p>It’s interesting the different opinions- I think 1 is universally liked - and all the rest have mixed views. Which is actually good because it shows that nothing is right or wrong.</p> <p>The next couple of weeks are a good time to play around with skirts as the weather is becoming better. Might be a chance to put the denim to the side and experiment more!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281631 Sat, 17 Sep 2022 14:20:17 +0000 lyn67 2281631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would skip on nr 3&amp;4-I cannot explain why exactly- it may be the creamy yellowy colors rather than the print itself-and love the blues on&nbsp; you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281606 Sat, 17 Sep 2022 04:56:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 2281606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My immediate thought was that they all looked great. But thinking on it more, I wasn’t sure I liked 2 and 6 so much. 2 is kind of boring to me ( sorry) and doesn’t really seem like your style? And 6 is rather too obvious with its bright colours and its shape, steals the attention from you.<br /> I like 5 but being a 2008 skirt I can understand you may be a bit over it after so long- that can happen to me too. And you have worn it plenty and don’t need something like that as much. So donating it makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281550 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 20:39:09 +0000 Anonymous 2281550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1, 3 and 4 are the ones I like most too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281491 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 16:13:37 +0000 Bijou 2281491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with The Cat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281471 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 15:10:10 +0000 Dana 2281471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the shape of #2 and #5 on you, so regardless of your final decision, I'd consider those reference points for future purchases.

Could it be worn in Spring or Autumn with your knee high boots and a lightweight jumper? That’s how I’d wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281425 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 08:35:34 +0000 Star (Lise) 2281425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely keep 1, 3 and 4.&nbsp; &nbsp;They seem relaxed yet elegant to me.&nbsp; But all good.&nbsp; Now going to read the comments from others. </p> <p>Hehe okay so my thought match your plan :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281415 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 06:12:24 +0000 Anonymous 2281415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might keep 5 and let 2 go as they are very similar. &nbsp;I am older and wear skirts a lot in summer instead of shorts. &nbsp;Consider putting some in a holding zone for a different time of your life. &nbsp;If you think they will date only keep classic styles. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281411 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 04:05:30 +0000 SarahD8 2281411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this but I like your plan! </p> <p>That button front style of skirt always has a kind of 70s vibe to me, so I think it fits the grownup Charlie’s angel idea. Maybe try styling it with clogs or boots that have a 70s feel (I realize you’re coming into summer so boots may not be the thing…but you get my drift.)</p> <p>For #6, the combination of pleats, a-line, and knee length is more conservative/classic than I associate with your style, BUT I think the stripes make it kind of sporty. What about playing up that aspect and styling it as if it were a tennis skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281409 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 03:51:12 +0000 Sal 2281409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I have a plan…<br /> 1 3 4 are staying!<br /> 2 6 I am going to wear twice and evaluate - different stylings each time.<br /> 5 is going to the thrift shop.</p> <p>I also have two blouses and three or four dresses I am uncertain about. I will do similar posts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281397 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 00:43:39 +0000 Jaime 2281397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is more about the styling than anything about each skirt in itself, so maybe give yourself a skirt challenge to actually wear them all and see what you (and we!) think . I do like #6 and would give it a another chance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281394 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 00:38:50 +0000 Carla 2281394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, 4, and 6 are&nbsp;<i>my&nbsp;</i>favourites. &nbsp;Don’t you have a yellow jacket you could wear with #6?</p> <p>* with hands in pockets of #2, it’s hard to judge the actual fit. &nbsp;It doesn’t have the same ‘flow’ the other skirts have.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281385 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 23:25:44 +0000 Anonymous 2281385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did a skirt edit this summer and it was very hard.

I am not fond of the print in the last one. The second one seems to have less movement than the others. That is a personal thing.<br />I am trying to imagine what Charlie Angels would wear.

The print in #4 looks a bit dated, but if you've been wearing it the last couple years, I'd keep that also. #6 I find sort of quirky and fun, and the length is flattering, but that might be just my own personal preference. #2 and #5 are the ones I'd be most likely to pass along. The fit the relaxed vibe, but I'm not sure about elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281377 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 22:11:57 +0000 Janet 2281377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, the first one is so great I think it sets a new bar for your future skirt purchases! Seriously love that one. </p> <p>If you’re thinking of letting one go, 5 doesn’t seem very summery to me. 6 is not my favorite either but that may be more a personal preference thing. I think the others look nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281376 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 22:11:56 +0000 rachylou 2281376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you force my hand, #2 then #3 if you must give up something.

They look great on you! The patterns are summer-ish and can be teamed with tops in various colours from the patterns or with white or cream tops. These skirts look very versatile and can probably be styled for a wide variety of occasions, from casual to more dressy.</p> <p>(2# and #6 don't look as they suit/fit you so well as the other skirts do. #5 looks a bit austere with your colouring and less summer-ish than the other skirts.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281373 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 21:33:03 +0000 Suz 2281373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, got it. I find skirts really useful in summer, so that might affect my "keep 'em" mentality. The ones I mentioned seem on trend enough to be worn but if you are over one or two, then you could always put them away for a season to see if they come back into favour. If you have space for that. I did that with a few skirts some years ago and did end up wearing them again after a year.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281371 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 21:28:12 +0000 Sal 2281371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No I don’t - there are two here that I am a bit over- it’s hard to know sometimes.</p> <p>All these - bar the new one- have had decent wear. None are absolute workhorses though but that might be me and skirts - I am more drawn to dresses or pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-skirt-collection--what-to-keep-and-what-to-edit#post-2281368 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 21:23:13 +0000 Suz 2281368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, do you have to get rid of any?&nbsp;</p> <p>I would definitely keep 1, 2 (or another solid vs. print skirt), 3, 4, 5.&nbsp; </p>
