Too tailored and the mood is lost.</p> <p>I find them especially unflattering because the fabric is too stiff and thick and worst of all they tend to buckle or flare at the worst possible places. Especially button fronts, and this one is no exception, there's something happening with the placket that is just not good.</p> <p>I completely agree with Sterling's matronly comment.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt/page/2#post-1605405 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 22:52:44 +0000 AviaMariah 1605405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without reading the other comments - I am not a lover of denim skirts but I really do love how you styled it in #8. &nbsp;It looks very intentional and current to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt/page/2#post-1605403 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 22:47:08 +0000 Elizabeth P 1605403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for being slow today, I was able to take quick peaks at my phone, but not really able to comment.&nbsp; And now of courser there are so many pearls of wisdom that comment on all of them will be tough.</p> <p><b>Sterling&nbsp; </b>You are SO right.&nbsp; In fact, I think if I have time, I may start a whole other post based on your comment.&nbsp; It's the insight from those that do "know" me, esp if they are suggesting "R" that are so valuable. So I"m imensly appreciative of those that go out on a limb to be honest when they don't care for something. &nbsp; Not that I don't value those that like an outfit, or a piece, because it is also good to know somethings is styled well.&nbsp; I wouldn't be posting a "K/R" post if I was 100% sure that I wanted to keep something, then it would be a "squee, look what I got" post - like my black shearling coat.&nbsp; So it's comments from people here that help to put my finger on what it is that isn't working... and sometimes those things are things I don't care about, and I'll keep the piece, but sometimes they ARE, and I know to return it. And if nobody pipes up, then it probably means my hesitations are unfounded, our based on something that doesn't show up in photos.&nbsp; So the positive feedback is needed too!</p> <p>The skirt... is going back.&nbsp; For various reasons.&nbsp; I think I've had it in my head for so long that I'd like another one (I've had several in my past) that I didn't stop to think about whether or not this is an actual hole TODAY.&nbsp; Several of you pointed out that my style has gone in a direction that doesn't really include this. I agree.&nbsp; The pockets and possible gaping.... it lay flat most of the time, but if it wrinkled up in a photo, it's going to do it in real life too!&nbsp; But really, I think it was going to be too much work to style in a way that didn't read frumpy, and I don't need that in my life right now.&nbsp; I appreciate knowing that I can make it work, but I want pieces that work without a lot of thinking.&nbsp; I know this could, and probably would, head to frumpyville.</p> <p>So thank you so much to all.&nbsp; Love this place, and appreciate you all.&nbsp; :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt/page/2#post-1605383 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 21:38:34 +0000 Marley 1605383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Elizabeth. &nbsp;I think that if the skirt was longer - like the ones that Angie featured in her blog the other day - that it would look current, intentional, &nbsp;and interesting. &nbsp;This length however, to me, is stuck in that conservative/religious category of "not allowed to wear jeans but jean-skirts are OK." &nbsp;There is nothing wrong with the way you have styled it - I just think of you as someone who could pull off wearing a denim skirt in a two-thousand-sixteen kind of way!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt/page/2#post-1605322 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 19:06:31 +0000 Elizabeth P 1605322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Couldn't agree more Janet. I'm in a conference today, can't respond properly, but am really enjoying all your responses. Thank you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1605316 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 18:53:29 +0000 Janet 1605316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would just like to add that I love when these kinds of K/R posts have such varying honest but considerate answers. One reason to adore this forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1605312 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 18:48:05 +0000 catgirl 1605312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm beginning to think I have a wee poison eye for the connotations of denim skirts. These look great if I visually sub in any other fabric but I can't get past the denim matron/practical/religious/"plain" factor. Feel free to disregard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1605309 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 18:45:14 +0000 LaPed 1605309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, Sterling compelled me to post with her comment:</p> <p>"This is something I have noticed on a lot of keep/return posts. Those forum members that like something are very positively reinforcing. Those forum members that have reservations tend not to speak up, possibly because they are afraid of offending or hurting someone's feelings. I felt I "knew" you well enough to provide a genuine comment. I always wonder though if comments are skewed in favor of a "keep" so be wary."</p> <p>I will be a dissenter. I was hesitating b/c there's such a unanimous feeling that it's a good piece. BUT -- to my eye, the pockets stick out on the sides and cause it to sit just a little wonky in the hip area. If it were mine, it would drive me crazy. I would either get rid of it, or try to tack the pockets down if I were really in love with it otherwise.</p> <p>I like it best in the third and fourth iterations, with the long black cardis, because the pockets are hidden. Notice how in the stock photo the model has her hand in the pocket...there's a reason for that! Probably all the photos with both arms at her sides looked wonky too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1605308 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 18:43:41 +0000 missvee 1605308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a great choice if you want to go with that retro 70's look. Most of your outfits have a more modern vibe but there's no law against changing things up is there :-).. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1605268 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:09:45 +0000 Keix 1605268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel much the same as Sterling, but I also know that denim skirts are a poison eye for me. I was very surprised to actually like #6! Pairing it with black, intentional styling with the half-tuck, bookending with black trendy tall-shaft booties--makes it work.</p> <p>But ultimately you should keep and wear what makes you feel happy. Some of these outfits (#2 especially) read to me as older and less intentionally fashionable--not UNfashionable, mind, but just something that an older woman who doesn't obsess over fashion might throw on in the morning to get about with her day. And if you're OK with uber-casual MOTG style, there's nothing wrong with those outfits! I definitely overthink things myself oftentimes, going too far in the opposite direction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1605214 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:19:28 +0000 Anonymous 1605214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is something I have noticed on a lot of keep/return posts. &nbsp;Those forum members that like something are very positively reinforcing. &nbsp;Those forum members that have reservations tend not to speak up, possibly because they are afraid of offending or hurting someone's feelings. &nbsp;I felt I "knew" you well enough to provide a genuine comment. &nbsp;I always wonder though if comments are skewed in favor of a "keep" so be wary. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1605118 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 09:14:05 +0000 Astrid 1605118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me it looks like the fit isn't right across the hips. The pockets and buttons might contribute to that, but I'm not a fan. Tbh I think you can do much better. And I definitely like it better styled with bare legs and light colors. I think the light and flat (?) color is the reason for that. To my eye it just looks seasonally confused with the chunky sweater and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1605111 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 08:08:39 +0000 Kookaburra 1605111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think brown tones ( tan, cognac, mustard) might be a great alternative to black here as the lighter wash of the skirt would work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1605104 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 07:04:22 +0000 Staysfit 1605104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say be careful with a button front skirt. It looks like there may be some gaping between some of the buttons in one of the pictures. I recently tried a button front skirt, loving the look, but in reality, whatever size I tried, larger or smaller, it gaped when I moved and this was problematic! Make sure you check what happens when you move and sit, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604999 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 02:41:24 +0000 Anonymous 1604999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shade of blue with black, especially in 6 and 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604974 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 01:30:09 +0000 annagybe 1604974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm the outlier, #7 is my favorite </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604969 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 01:23:49 +0000 crazyone 1604969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was on the fence until I saw 8/9. The half tuck makes the look super modern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604967 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 01:20:55 +0000 Elizabeth P 1604967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all this excellent feedback.&nbsp; You've pointed out some excellent things to think about.</p> <p>I'm still on the fence... I think I'll have to sit on it for a few days, maybe try it with some other tops.&nbsp; I agree with all of you who say it's more springy, I see it that way as well.&nbsp; I also agree it might be a bit of a too light denim to wear with black.&nbsp; I have many lighter weight, non-black tops that could work with it.&nbsp; I also think I'm far more likely to wear it with bare legs than anything else, so I really should be trying it with tops I'd wear in those kind of temps rather than trying to emulate a "look" that I like.&nbsp; Nude hose and the high boots are a possibility, but booties really are a long shot.&nbsp; The season for booties and skirts is VERY short here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604958 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 01:11:40 +0000 El Cee 1604958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vote "Keep". I think the skirt has serious potential. I especially love 1, 8 and 9. I agree with LisaP that those looks are enhanced by your choice of footwear.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604948 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 00:43:37 +0000 Echo 1604948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I probably should not comment, as I mostly agree with Sterling. Numbers 8 and 9 are the best, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604947 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 00:43:04 +0000 Caro in Oz 1604947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Janet &amp; Brooklyn - not loving it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604944 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 00:33:00 +0000 Brooklyn 1604944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the fence. I like the shape and length on you but am not wild about it with the black knit tops and boots. I think because it is a pale wash it says spring to me and I would prefer to see it with lighter colours and fabrics like in no 1. I like no 9 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604917 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 23:33:02 +0000 Anonymous 1604917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think each one of these looks would look better with a different bottom. I think it is the a-line and snaps that are poisoning my eye. I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604914 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 23:27:35 +0000 Anonymous 1604914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #'s 1 and 9 . #1 works because of the shoes - makes the look modern and intentionally up-to-date. &nbsp;I really like #9 for a work look. &nbsp;I'm a little surprised because I'm not a fan of denim skirts - but I do like this one on you. The black sweater and boots combos are ok - but don't seem as interesting as 1 and 9. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604907 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 23:17:22 +0000 Sheila 1604907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #9 is outstanding.

I realize this happens a lot with pants, and it doesn't bother me as much then, but I feel like it really interrupts the line of the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604900 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 23:13:57 +0000 Kaelyn 1604900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #s 1, 4, and 9 best. 1 because it looks fresh and pretty, 4 and 9 because I wouldn't have thought to style it like that but I think those renditions work really well. Well done! I hope you enjoy wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604897 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 23:10:52 +0000 Anonymous 1604897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please disregard my voice if I am the only dissenter (I might not know what I am talking about). &nbsp;However, imho, a denim skirt has to be very intentionally styled or it can come across as matronly. &nbsp;I only liked numbers 1 and 9. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604894 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 23:07:37 +0000 Sal 1604894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a bit of a spanner, I am not sure. &nbsp;I do like it best in 1 and in 8 and 9....but I am not sure about the proportions. &nbsp;You have great legs so it is not that. &nbsp;I prefer it with bare skin in a spring/summer sense.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/timely-kr-denim-skirt#post-1604893 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 23:05:20 +0000 carter 1604893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1 and 8!
