I do usually wear black tights as it is pretty cold here. I was being lazy when trying it out ☺️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263194 Sun, 15 May 2022 05:31:32 +0000 VioletMyra 2263194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the ensemble in pic 4. You could add black leggings for winter - it's what I used to do when I lived in Tasmania. Best wishes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263188 Sun, 15 May 2022 05:18:30 +0000 Sally 2263188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Sal, unfrumped, Brooklyn, Chirico and Jaime.

You look great and I like these skirts. You inspired me to look for more skirts online </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263099 Sat, 14 May 2022 11:55:32 +0000 Brooklyn 2263099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a good formula and you look terrific.</p> <p>Yay for skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263082 Sat, 14 May 2022 03:42:15 +0000 unfrumped 2263082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love<br /> for the floral skirt!

Fabulous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263049 Fri, 13 May 2022 19:23:09 +0000 approprio 2263049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice skirts. They suit you, particularly that floral print. Coveting your mobile sling. I love the proportions in #3.</p> <p>As for the outfit combinations, I miss a certain statement of intent, but not sure where to put it. Contrasting leg wear? Bolder graphics up top? Do you have any bomber or moto jackets? Classic denim could work well.&nbsp;I like slim cat’s suggestion of sweatshirts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263037 Fri, 13 May 2022 17:11:03 +0000 rachylou 2263037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the way you do skirts, Sally! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263027 Fri, 13 May 2022 15:21:22 +0000 CarolS 2263027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock the "swagger" skirt, Sally :-). It could be fun to pull some of the colours from the last skirt in -- for some reason I think you have an olive green jacket? In any case, it's liberating to play around with new styles, colours and moods, so do keep having fun with it!!</p> <p>PS -- I agree a jean jacket would also look great with it. Cream jumper, denim jacket. floral skirt, combat boots.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263026 Fri, 13 May 2022 15:16:17 +0000 cat2 2263026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty new find. Do you have an army green topper? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263020 Fri, 13 May 2022 14:29:13 +0000 slim cat 2263020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I love your new printed skirt - looks great with jacket in the pic! Certain sweatshirts could work with new skirt - solid or with some limited graphic design ( you'll need to balance sportiness with some jewelry or other accessories ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263018 Fri, 13 May 2022 14:04:33 +0000 Indigoprint 2263018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good for sure. I also enjoy the comfort of a skirt but do feel the nuance of "dressed up" but am trying to get used to it as the look is so comfortable. Love how it looks on you.<br />&nbsp;Great cross body bag, can you tell us more about it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263015 Fri, 13 May 2022 13:35:02 +0000 Janet 2263015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I particularly like the third one. You wear them well, and I like them toughened up with boots and jackets.</p> <p>This is an awful year for skirts and dresses at retail here in the states. I've been looking to update my summer pieces and finding very little that appeals. Everything is ditsy prints, flounces and ruffles and tiers. Puffed sleeves and spaghetti straps. I think your thrifting strategy is wise!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263009 Fri, 13 May 2022 12:46:32 +0000 Anonymous 2263009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look fancy, in the best possible way! &nbsp;I love these looks, you have a great eye for skirt possibilities. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2263006 Fri, 13 May 2022 12:35:22 +0000 ophelia 2263006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beware, lol. Once you have experienced the comfort, freedom of movement &amp; err...non-constricting-ness of skirts, going back to pants can be hard. W/ the exception of exercise, I go years w/out wearing pants.<br /> I love both your skirts &amp; they look great on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2262996 Fri, 13 May 2022 10:10:29 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2262996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun! They look great, and true to who you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2262990 Fri, 13 May 2022 09:40:09 +0000 Bijou 2262990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love skirts on you and like how you have styled them, they look more dressed up than jeans or pants, but not fussy or over the top. The new skirt is a great pattern and goes with the jacket. It is a wonderful addition and brightens things up for winter. I would like to see it with your denim jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2262986 Fri, 13 May 2022 09:19:33 +0000 Zaeobi 2262986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Só long as you've got the right underpinnings &amp; shoes for it, skirt dressing becomes a breeze, doesn't it? I like your phone sling bag in #1 too - a handy size! </p> <p>I like the jacket in the last few picks, but you might need to add something elsewhere to help 'ground' its heaviness - perhaps a black belt or bag? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-year-of-the-skirt#post-2262984 Fri, 13 May 2022 08:46:02 +0000 Sally 2262984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep thrifting skirts. I would never have dreamed of dressing like this before but I’m enjoying the flouncy skirt. One of my colleagues said, “you are looking so fancy these days.”<br /> Two WIW both pic 1 and 2 are my 2 trelise cooper skirts with different Jacqui-e jackets which I bought last year.<br /> Pic one with a thrifted tshirt, stocking and doc martens<br /> Pic 2 with sweater and my ankle boots<br /> Pic 3 and 4 a new skirt I found. It’s quite heavy… does it go with the jacket. Suggestions for winter </p>
