I wash it in a guppies friend bag because it is polyester and the Velcro, which I fasten, is not a problem. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2279856 Fri, 02 Sep 2022 00:55:43 +0000 Anonymous 2279856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If there's a pool I'm going in it :)<br /> The RipSkirt has worked out better than my other wrap skirts! I've worn it as a pool cover up, on normal workdays, on days off, and to a nice restaurant.<br /> The one problematic thing is it really needs hand washing so the velcro doesn't ruin the rest of my wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2279690 Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:21:28 +0000 Laurie 2279690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super ideas for summer events where you may - or may not - swim.</p> <p>Echoing Suz on the ongoing fabness of rip skirts - I had a dr. appt the other day.&nbsp; What a great piece to zip (rip!) in and out of when you have to get undressed/redressed quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2279686 Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:11:35 +0000 Helena 2279686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific mini capsule for a great job duty .. sorry it's coming to an end </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2279342 Mon, 29 Aug 2022 22:25:26 +0000 Anonymous 2279342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!

Glad you're in a job (with benefits) that you enjoy now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2278976 Sat, 27 Aug 2022 04:59:11 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2278976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slick! That is one sophisticated pool look. </p> <p>I’ve been working on exercise gear that I can wear around town, but hadn’t thought to try to include swimwear in that. </p> <p>I see what you mean about the hat being a special color and going with the black really well. A patterned bag might work well. Searching for “raffia bag” actually brought up crochet bags as well as sisal. If you know someone who can crochet, or learn yourself, or hit up Merwoman really sweetly, you can lick your own yarn color. I don’t think skorts get longer than about 20”, but you could look for culottes /a split skirt longer than that.</p> <p><a href="https://www.afrikrea.com/en/article/kenyan-bag-round-boho-bag-sisal-bag-handmade-bag-woven-bag-trendy-casual-bag-sling-bag-hand-bags-multicolour-organic-fabrics/I3A36S3" rel="nofollow">https://www.afrikrea.com/en/ar.....cs/I3A36S3</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.exportersindia.com/mohazo-eximpo-limited/sisal-hand-bag-nairobi-kenya-1149977.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.exportersindia.com.....149977.htm</a></p> <p>Bright colors, but it’s a beach bag. If you want to skip that, take your tooled leather bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2278927 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 22:22:56 +0000 SarahD8 2278927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a tight, sophisticated capsule. Glad you are getting your reward for your cubicle days. Hope your next swim bottoms prove longer lasting!&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope you find your straw bag soon! I think that with the mix of brown and gold tones in your shoes, it does not need to match your hat exactly (in fact maybe better if it doesn't? My 2 cents...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2278911 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 21:17:33 +0000 Anonymous 2278911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tops are Lands End, so will try the bottoms.

I really like the shape and length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2278904 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 20:53:32 +0000 Anonymous 2278904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar Athleta skort, but it's really too short for other work things, and I go to multiple events most days. Plus the Ripskirt is quick on off cause velcro!<br /> TBH I'd like to have some knee length skorts, as the ones I have are even feeling shorter than I'd like for my days off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2278903 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 20:49:45 +0000 Suz 2278903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds like the best solution to a work-related pool event <b>EVER.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't say enough about the Ripskirt. I love that thing so much. So versatile.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not sure you would need to match the hat, exactly -- esp. if you could find a bag with a pattern that included something similar to the hat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2278899 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 20:38:10 +0000 JAileen 2278899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice capsule! &nbsp;I don’t think straw pieces have to match, but just go with each other.<div><br /></div><div>I have this skort and it’s pretty quick drying and might work with your other pieces. &nbsp;And it has zip-up pockets.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rei.com/product/143958/patagonia-fleetwith-skort">https://www.rei.com/product/14.....with-skort</a><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tough-days-at-work#post-2278896 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 20:29:55 +0000 Anonymous 2278896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more WIW, then I'll go be productive! I've had some work related pool events to attend this summer- tough job but someone's gotta do it :)</p> <p>This capsule has been ideal for these events, cause it passes for regular clothes! The tankini tops have both high neck and back, so they look like shirts, especially the textured one. The Ripskirt is quick drying, and an easy coverup.<br /> I will get a different bikini bottom though, as this one faded quickly :(<br /> Thinking of adding a straw bag to go with the hat, but it's kind of an odd shade to try to match.<br /> ETA- I definitely paid my dues for these pool days! Remember my soul killing cubicle days up til a few months ago :p </p>
