Great finds. </p> <p>Check out Angie's blog post today - you could totally pop the fur vest/jacket over a top for a fun night out look. It's kind of warm for it, but I see it over a textured sweater and boots w/ jeans for chilly days. It might work over a dress - worth a try! </p> <p>Will be watching for the skirt in WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-luxury-how-would-you-wear#post-560131 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 17:12:34 +0000 Velma 560131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Modgrl, I think I will wear the skirt in a casual outfit on Friday. I mean to wear it and not make the mistake of "saving it for best." </p> <p>Thanks for your excellent ideas, everyone. I will try the jacket with skinny jeans and boots over a fitted top--maybe with a vintage choker necklace for some more of the retro feeling.</p> <p>Does anyone think I could wear the fur over a casual dress? I have a simple, fairly streamlined charcoal sweater dress, midi length . . . with burgundy patent pumps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-luxury-how-would-you-wear#post-560111 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 16:47:20 +0000 ironkurtin 560111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Score!!!</p> <p>I love the idea of the skirt with a denim jacket. I don't know if you need the leggings under always, when it gets warmer I'd go bare skin.</p> <p>That fur jacket would be AWESOME with jeans and boots!</p> <p>Jealous, excellent purchases! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-luxury-how-would-you-wear#post-560095 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 16:17:29 +0000 chewyspaghetti 560095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both items!<br /> I have a pleated chiffon skirt that I wear casually with casual boots/booties or flat sandals and casual tops/vests jackets. (picture below) It works well that way.<br /> The jacket I would pair with skinny jeans a simple top and pumps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-luxury-how-would-you-wear#post-560086 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 16:06:23 +0000 bj1111 560086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wear skirt with plaid or gingham woven shirt, leggings and flats. </p> <p>or denim or chambray shirt tied at the waist and cowboy or riding or moto boots or fun booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-luxury-how-would-you-wear#post-560079 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 15:48:12 +0000 modgrl 560079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those are nice ideas for the skirt. It is so pretty. I guess it will always read as kind of a dressy piece but it's a shame to let it hang in the closet. Go Team Wear. Wear it now! Can you work it into an outfit this week to challenge yourself to actually wear it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-luxury-how-would-you-wear#post-560024 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 14:23:48 +0000 jayne 560024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>man I have the exact same skirt (but from H&amp;M) and I use it as a layer under shorter dresses to add length, as a skirt itself under a cropped blazer that has some edge (because the skirt is feminine it counter the edge), and under a regular colorful blazer jacket (boyfriend type)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-luxury-how-would-you-wear#post-560021 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 14:19:29 +0000 ManidipaM 560021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your ideas for the skirt. </p> <p>For the jacket, if the length works, might I suggest dark-wash skinny jeans under it, with maybe an animal print top if you have one?</p> <p>Also what about this jacket and skirt together with coloured bright top...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-luxury-how-would-you-wear#post-560016 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 14:17:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 560016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - what fabulous finds! Both of these are beautiful items. The skirt I would pair with everything! If it's cold out, I can see the skirt with boots, lovely blouse or layering tee and a great blazer. If it's warm, it will look fabulous with some strappy sandals and flowy blouse (belted) over the skirt. As for the faux fur jacket, I can see this with skinny jeans tucked into boots and a great top underneath, or over a sheath dress...the possibilities are endless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-luxury-how-would-you-wear#post-560005 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 14:03:01 +0000 Velma 560005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought this skirt and faux fur jacket at a local thrift store!</p> <p>The silk chiffon skirt is by Carmen Marc Valvo. Notice how the ruffles go to alternating heights at the top, which reduces bulk at the hips--it's a really clever and flattering design. It comes to mid-knee. $6.</p> <p>The faux fur jacket is Bagatelle by Badgley Mischka. This is really cute on--fitted through the torso and waist-length on me. The sleeves end just above the elbow. I've been eyeing fur vests for a while, but something a little more retro-looking appeals to me. Not something I would have sprung for at retail, but for $8 . . .</p> <p>How would you style these items? The skirt could go very dressy, but I am thinking of trying it for early spring with black leggings, ballet flats, and maybe a striped top and denim jacket. I might have to pack away the jacket for next year--we will hit 60 today! </p>
