I love the high-low hem and the color. Not too much distressing in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704877 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 11:46:43 +0000 Karie 1704877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's worth a try, I think it suits your style and you'll make it not look MDAL by what you wear with it. Like, if you wear it with a tight crop top that shows your midsection, oops, MDAL; but if you wear it with a semi-tucked drapey top, you'll be good to go!</p> <p>I added an iron-on patch behind one of the shredded holes (at my thigh) in a pair of my distressed jeans. It makes the fabric stiff but at least I'm not flashing anybody.</p> <p>I vote get it and play around with it in your closet and see what you come up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704815 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 05:43:25 +0000 Gigi 1704815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally don't think that the distressing is too much. I think that the only way to know whether it will read as too "young" will be to try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704791 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 04:02:28 +0000 Brooklyn 1704791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Jenn. I don't have any problem with the length (on you) or with distressing (at any age) but the distressing here looks bit fake/contrived to me. But you can only try and see </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704784 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 03:49:50 +0000 Amy 1704784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you have anything to worry about re MDAL. You will make this look sophisticated try it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704770 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 03:15:06 +0000 Maneera 1704770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes from me. I have black distressed shorts that look almost exactly like this!!! But somehow....on the body...they don't look uber-distressed or "wanna-be" at all!!! I think black doesn't show distressing the way blue denim does. </p> <p>I really really like the skirt for you, Una....I think this denim skirt has just the lil extra 'edge' you need to be able to make it work with your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704764 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 02:56:06 +0000 Sammy Gregory 1704764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you like it why not give it a try?&nbsp; Black goes with everything so it could be very versatile.&nbsp; I love the look, just too short for my taste, I don't wear anything above the knee.&nbsp; Pair it with the right blouse and it would be super cute and not MDAL at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704760 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 02:46:46 +0000 Jaime 1704760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it could totally work on you, given your great legs and height. Show and we will tell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704754 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 02:38:50 +0000 rachylou 1704754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh with sneaks, this would be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704749 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 02:32:34 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1704749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it as a shorts replacement. It's not as distressed as I expected from your description, and considering that it is a little longer on you, I think it could be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704746 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 02:28:45 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1704746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your idea of putting more fabric behind the distressing, especially if it's see-through. I say go for it--looks like your style, and I can just picture it on you with your cool shoes and attitude. I think it would look good with tights, too, for winter, with tall boots or short ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704609 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 22:13:36 +0000 Gaylene 1704609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be honest, it's the artificial look of the distressing that makes the skirt look "teenager" to me. But now I'm laughing at my own comment--that there a distinction between teenage rips and tears and "sophisticated" distressing. So it's probably safe to ignore my hairsplitting and buy the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704608 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 22:11:38 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1704608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it -- the dark color works well with the heavy distressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704576 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 21:22:39 +0000 texstyle 1704576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like it would suit your style&nbsp; - I think I'd go for it and see. It's a great price and mostly cotton, which to me is a good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704571 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 21:19:17 +0000 Suz 1704571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is worth a try if returnable.

I think the dark colour balances out the shredding, which doesn't seem too much - and it seems very you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704510 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 20:03:29 +0000 Anonymous 1704510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too - wouldn't wear it myself but only because of length. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704509 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:59:31 +0000 viva 1704509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it.

Interesting and fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uber-distressed-denim-skirt-too-much#post-1704504 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:49:50 +0000 Jenn 1704504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's too much, but I'm not super-keen on the distressing.

I was expecting mega-holes but this works and seems totally your style. Black is so different too, for a denim skirt.
