Fresh and crisp, modern cut,&nbsp;an excellent choice to revamp the skirt look. I find the refined, kitten heels totally appropriate with this, as it balances whatever bulkiness that top may have.&nbsp;<br />re: photo:&nbsp;I can see you bottom and top here no prob.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-a-skirt-in-a-modern-way#post-1459400 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 08:45:03 +0000 vesperholly 1459400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the necklace - a fresh, modern pop of color and an unexpected style.

It is still a struggle for me, but I am determined to wear more skirts and dresses. After all my biggest assets are my legs, so I should emphasize that. I have been doing that too by wearing skinnies, but it got to a point where you can see me wearing skinnies every day. Balance is what we are looking for.<br /> Tanya, I don't know SE Okala, but I am not a great fan of ankle strap shoes. I like normal pumps better because the elongate the leg. At the moment I am trying ankle booties.....<br /> Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-a-skirt-in-a-modern-way#post-1457075 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:58:11 +0000 Ingunn 1457075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A beautiful, modern and classic outfit.

I love this look -- adore the structured sleeves, zip detail, and other features of the top and I think it looks great with the skirt. Your necklace is gorgeous, the style fits the modern look and adds a great touch of colour to the look. You look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-a-skirt-in-a-modern-way#post-1456503 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 15:43:31 +0000 Carole 1456503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks fantastic...

I love the roomy fit of the top with the pencil skirt. Modern and relaxed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-a-skirt-in-a-modern-way#post-1456439 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:20:49 +0000 Anonymous 1456439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I adore the shape and structure of your top and the leather skirt is fab. I think the pumps work perfectly fine with this. I'm getting a nice modern vibe from your look. Hair is great btw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-a-skirt-in-a-modern-way#post-1456392 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 12:31:07 +0000 Anonymous 1456392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry if ive been looking at the wrong picture, I havnt got access to all the photos yet as im new on here..... but going back to the chunky necklace, it struck me that its just right for putting outside of a crisp white shirt, the shirt collar would go over the bare bit of chain and the nice back fastening could still show.

The pumps work really well with that outfit.<br />You mention you do not like a lot of the modern shoes, but would consider ankle-strap pumps like SE Okala? They are fairly similar aesthetically to the pumps you love and wear, just more modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-a-skirt-in-a-modern-way#post-1456380 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 11:55:35 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1456380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While shoes do a lot for an outfit , they aren't everything. This is a great mix of classic and modern that works beautifully together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-a-skirt-in-a-modern-way#post-1456365 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 10:58:01 +0000 Summer 1456365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look elegant and current, Greetje. &nbsp;I love that draped skirt, and the way you have styled it here. &nbsp;I agree that footwear does indeed define an outfit, but the pumps&nbsp;look perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-a-skirt-in-a-modern-way#post-1456349 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 09:31:33 +0000 Anonymous 1456349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Greetje</p> <p>Loving the textured top, nice to see that zips look great when youre over 50 like me, its given me some ideas. Also absolutely love the back of the necklace, but the front is an awkward length and chunkiness perhaps - I actually bought one like this for my daughter in her 20s and she found it difficult to match to an outfit and it didnt get used much. Maybe under an opened neck shirt?

Too much hard work at the office.<br />In the meantime I have turned blond as you see my grey outgrow less. I am turning 61 next month, so these "inconveniences" happen.<br />At the moment I am trying to style skirts and dresses in a more contemporary way. Which is hard for me. Most modern shoes are just not my kind of shoes and boy oh boy do they define an outfit.<br />I used normal pumps in this outfit but tried to bring it up to 2015 with the sweater and the necklace.<br />Greetje<br />PS having some problems with uploading photos.... so you cannot see the bottom, just the top... bummer.</p>
