An outfit that needs great shoes is probably not the one for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445587 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 16:44:47 +0000 AM 1445587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like 1 and 3. Guess I'm in the minority. I'm a lover of neutrals. #3 needs great shoes and some jewelry. And you could throw on a yellow scarf (a bold color). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445583 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 16:16:17 +0000 Anonymous 1445583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>American. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445558 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 14:44:23 +0000 anne 1445558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for all your input. I am not planning on buying anything just yet, but want to do lots of trying things on and getting a feel for different styles and what is out there. I actually tried on more that day too, but my phone stopped working mid session!</p> <p>Sterling - are you Australian too?- I think I had forgotten.</p> <p>I have at least 3 tops that would likely go with skirt 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445550 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 14:12:56 +0000 kkards 1445550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my fav, but i wonder if the print would make it limiting. do you have at least 2 different tops that you can wear with this?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445524 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 12:21:40 +0000 Anonymous 1445524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all. &nbsp;In fact, I almost bought number 3. &nbsp;<i></i>Based on comments here, I am glad I saved myself the trouble of having to return number 3. &nbsp;I agree with all the commenters. &nbsp;Compared to numbers 1 and 2, number 3 does look blah. </p> <p>So that &nbsp;means numbers 1 and 2 are possibilities. &nbsp;I really like number 2 for its color and statement. &nbsp;I like number 1 for its endless possibilities. &nbsp;Angie once posted that you should already know what you are wear with a skirt before you buy it. &nbsp;Otherwise, you run the risk of an orphan. &nbsp;Do you have ideas of how to style number 2? &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445505 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 08:09:04 +0000 Lucy 1445505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is lovely, and I think it would look fantastic for work - something stylish and fun while still being entirely office appropriate! I also like #1, which is less "exciting" but looks like it would be very practical and match with lots of other items. Agreeing with others that #3 is not as good as the others. But 2 out of 3 is pretty good!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445502 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 08:05:09 +0000 Gigi 1445502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No. 2 is my favorite, then no. 1. I really like no. 2; no. 1 is OK but not exciting to me. I would vote to not get #1 unless you really love it, because you will have to pay extra for the alts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445494 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 05:37:12 +0000 rachylou 1445494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and 2 also. But the fit does look off in #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445469 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 04:02:36 +0000 CocoLion 1445469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 1 and 2. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445468 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 04:00:10 +0000 trekkiegirl 1445468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 is my favorite, but with the slight alteration I could see 1 being very versatile and I really like that texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445465 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 03:56:12 +0000 Dimity 1445465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm joining the others in liking one and two. I think they'd work well for you and be versatile too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445459 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 03:44:52 +0000 Jaime 1445459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 both look good. I would definitely pick the one that fits well already though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445449 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 03:02:34 +0000 Anonymous 1445449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 looks like it might not fit smoothly and the side seam on your left may not be laying correctly. 2 is great. 3 is "okay", I'd leave it and keep looking for another pencil skirt because I think Deborah's right about the different silhouettes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445443 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 02:57:31 +0000 anne 1445443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried 3 because it was the closest in that shop (Jacquie E) to a soft pleated skirt, which I'd quite like to try. </p> <p>Thanks Greycat!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445441 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 02:56:44 +0000 greycat6 1445441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the silhouette of&nbsp;1 and 2 for the waist definition and the fun print.&nbsp;&nbsp;Number 2 looks like it would be swooshy and it makes me smile.&nbsp; Agreeing with&nbsp;others that 3 seems long and ho-hum.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445440 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 02:56:20 +0000 anne 1445440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Laura and Deborah.&nbsp; I was wondering if 2 had too many horizontal lines. I'm with you on #3&nbsp; - though Laura length isn't necessarily an issue - at my height I'm used to hemming everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445439 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 02:48:31 +0000 Deborah 1445439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 2. 3 looks a it blah. The other two look great and provide the opportunity for different silhouettes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445435 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 02:36:11 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1445435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2. Normally I like you in pencil skirts but 1 doesn't grab me. 3 seems too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-work-skirts#post-1445419 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 02:10:16 +0000 anne 1445419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would love your thoughts.</p> <p></p> <p>ETA The waist on 1 is a bit loose so I would need to alter if I were to buy - realities of my pear shaped life!</p>
