If I'm not at my skinniest, my leather pencil skirt can fit similar to yours. I like to wear it with a silky blouse worn out and belted or a cascading cardi that covers the rear. How does it behave when you sit down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-631134 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:43:40 +0000 Sveta 631134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah Jonesy, you and your bucket of cold water on my leather skirt dreams Honestly I am not sure about the fit myself and you know I am pretty big on a good fit.<br /> Angie, I can try it with oversized sweater and silk roomy tunics. After all I did not buy it so if it does not work I just pass it on to somebody else without hurt feelings...<br /> Thanks everybody how offered an opinion - YLF is a girl's best friend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630784 Mon, 28 May 2012 16:55:48 +0000 Traci 630784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Talk about "Ask and ye shall receive..." What a great story, Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630770 Mon, 28 May 2012 16:21:13 +0000 Angie 630770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, the fit does not get my thumbs up either - which is why I suggested an un-tucked loose item of knitwear to mask the ill-fitting area. Sveta, let's see what creative you comes up with </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630768 Mon, 28 May 2012 16:16:54 +0000 Jonesy 630768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm going against the grain a bit (and keep in mind that I'm not a huge fan of leather skirts) but I'm not sure about the fit. Sorry to be a wet blanket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630710 Mon, 28 May 2012 14:18:58 +0000 Angie 630710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With a loose fitting un-tucked item of knitwear, this could be fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630707 Mon, 28 May 2012 14:15:47 +0000 Anonymous 630707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a hostess gift! I love it and I can't wait to see the different outfits you come up with! Nice visual from Christyg. Can Mom take in the waist at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630495 Mon, 28 May 2012 03:34:36 +0000 velvetychocolate 630495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab skirt, and what a great hostess gift! Wow. </p> <p>Defnitely keep, and I love the smoky-grey colour of it. Softens it up a wee bit, and in terms of 'what to wear' with it, the #1 thing I remember from Angie's posts on the topic are to combine softer items with a leather skirt. Softer, pretty blouses, and definitely something like Christy's cashmere sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630488 Mon, 28 May 2012 03:24:36 +0000 Deborah 630488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, it appears to fit well and as mentioned it will stretch to fit. I love that it is not black and given it was a gift I say try it out and see how it works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630466 Mon, 28 May 2012 02:49:14 +0000 annagybe 630466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's great! I'd be a little cautious with the animal prints though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630463 Mon, 28 May 2012 02:46:17 +0000 modgrl 630463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!! I think you could really do a lot with this skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630296 Sun, 27 May 2012 21:09:34 +0000 Sveta 630296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, thanks for the visuals!

I think you'll have a lot of fun playing with this one. If it helps, here are a few ways I've styled mine. Frankly, I've been surprised at how versatile it is and how frequently I've worn it to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630278 Sun, 27 May 2012 20:30:35 +0000 Kiwichik 630278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's definitely a keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630265 Sun, 27 May 2012 19:55:17 +0000 Vildy 630265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since it's a classic tailored pencil shape, sedate (beautiful!) color and a modest<br /> length, what's not conservative about it. </p> <p>I love it on you without waiting for any stretching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630261 Sun, 27 May 2012 19:41:44 +0000 Sveta 630261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to refresh on Angie's post on how to wear a leather skirt and found my comment there:<br /> "I just branched into leather jackets last year: I have never had any leather item of clothing before. I would like to try a soft knee-length pencil skirt just for fun but I think I would prefer a color rather than black: olive, soft grey, rust…"<br /> Isn't it funny: I wanted to try other than black leather skirt and fate sent me this stormy grey one :-)<br /> So I looked at Angie's footwear suggestions and think the following should work:<br /> - animal booties<br /> - red patent pumps<br /> - grey flat oxfords<br /> - possibly black suede-like booties with black patterned hose?<br /> - animal print patent pumps<br /> - grey tweed-patterned suede wedges<br /> What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630146 Sun, 27 May 2012 17:28:00 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 630146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others. The color is beautiful and it fits well and will only get better as you break it in. What a nice gift to help you get through SYC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630138 Sun, 27 May 2012 17:10:58 +0000 Shu 630138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great item to bring to a friend's home!

It is a fantastic colour, will work well with many of your other wardrobe items, will fit better as it conforms to your shape, and you love leather. It's a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630107 Sun, 27 May 2012 16:53:24 +0000 Anonymous 630107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630090 Sun, 27 May 2012 16:46:21 +0000 Kari 630090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630088 Sun, 27 May 2012 16:45:23 +0000 Meredith1953 630088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will as IK points out stretch a little and mold to your body. In the meantime you can team it with tops you don't have to tuck or a jacket! It is a really pretty color and style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630084 Sun, 27 May 2012 16:38:55 +0000 ironkurtin 630084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! Leather does stretch, the more you wear it the better it will fit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-leather-skirt-did-not-break-my-syc#post-630072 Sun, 27 May 2012 16:28:36 +0000 Sveta 630072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...because I did not buy it. Yesterday we had some friends over for dinner and one of them brought this skirt. Somebody gave it to her but it is too big for her - and happened to be my size.<br /> It is pencil and of course there is no stretch in it. Should it fit like this? It is a bit big in the waist but fits well everywhere else or am I kidding myself? The color in the picture is pretty accurate - dark blue-grey reminding me of stormy sky.<br /> Should I keep it or pass it on? What do you think? </p>
