You look super fab in this skirt. The graphic tee, belt, pumps=perfection. Your inspiration photos are fantastic, too. I especially like 6 and 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-skirt-trend-of-2024#post-2359688 Thu, 09 May 2024 03:00:54 +0000 Anonymous 2359688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My legs are white covered with veins.

I have a denim maxi skirt too but no front slit. I like that they are rough and tumble like jeans but with the femininity of a skirt.

Looks great on someone with curves. Very haute hippie!&nbsp;<br />We are the same height, and I wear long or full skirts all the time.

The graphic tee is perfect with it. Glad to hear it was comfortable to wear on your trip, seems to have good coverage despite the slit, likely due to its maxi length. Great find for you to enjoy styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-skirt-trend-of-2024#post-2359495 Tue, 07 May 2024 16:35:27 +0000 Elle 2359495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this skirt.&nbsp; I think it is a wonderful combination of dressy and casual and like the way you have styled it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-skirt-trend-of-2024#post-2359493 Tue, 07 May 2024 16:16:11 +0000 Mirjana 2359493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all you look amazing in that maxi skirt. I couldn't believe that you are 4'11". I'm little taller but I don't have the courage to even try on a maxi skirt. You inspired me to tray something similar, maybe<br /> Midaxi. I'm looking forward to see others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-skirt-trend-of-2024#post-2359492 Tue, 07 May 2024 16:14:43 +0000 kinnick 2359492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried it with a narrower belt or no belt? &nbsp;Maybe a cropped or banded top? &nbsp; The skirt looks great and so do you but as a shorter Person I find wider belts difficult. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-skirt-trend-of-2024#post-2359484 Tue, 07 May 2024 14:50:08 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2359484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>@Sisi</b> -&nbsp; thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-skirt-trend-of-2024#post-2359482 Tue, 07 May 2024 14:49:25 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2359482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>@Suz</b>&nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks!&nbsp; &nbsp;I have a couple of maxi skirts that have a sort of mermaid/fishtail effect, and I will definitely be breaking those out this spring and summer.&nbsp; &nbsp;I think it will be fun to try and get the general effect, but it doesn't have to be the one in the photo.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>But oh-my-goodness, if that one in the photo ever appeared in a thrift store, in my size, I'd snap it right up!</p> <p>This is one of my mermaid skirts I wore in mid-April, on our first truly hot day here.&nbsp; &nbsp;I had a bad cold at the time, so this was pretty much as far as I got with any styling.&nbsp; &nbsp;Not shown:&nbsp; my coordinating tissue box, LOL.&nbsp; &nbsp;It felt pretty good to swan around the house in this, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-the-skirt-trend-of-2024#post-2359480 Tue, 07 May 2024 14:42:01 +0000 Sisi 2359480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab!
