It's a lovely skirt in a great colour.<br /> If it get's a little chilly in the evening, throw on a denim jacket, that will look great too.</p> <p>Also: what a beautiful cardigan in that last picture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66466 Wed, 20 May 2009 16:17:37 +0000 greenglove 66466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt on you, the color can be either warm or cool. I agree about the first and fourth being the best looks. You can wear all skirt styles with your figure!!<br /> Navy vest is fab with the skirt. I do not know about the length. I am so careful with money I have to love something to get it altered because of the expense.I do not think the length is bad. It is probably because I thrift so much, hemming usually costs more than the item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66454 Wed, 20 May 2009 15:08:33 +0000 marianne 66454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the advice! This skirt is truly a foreign object in my wardrobe, so it's good to know it can work. The color is still quite perplexing :)</p> <p>Angie, I am glad you like the jacket. It's very fitted, but it has a peplum detail in the back which makes it flare below the waist, and I usually wear it unbuttoned because of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66419 Wed, 20 May 2009 04:57:10 +0000 Angie 66419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Very pretty WARM coloured skirt and it totally works – especially if you hack a few inches off the hem and possibly have it straightened out a little at the side seam. The first outfit is great and I LOVE the jacket. What does it look like buttoned ? </p> <p>Well done for once again venturing out of your comfort zone, Marianne. It’s all good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66390 Wed, 20 May 2009 02:01:54 +0000 Vani 66390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color of the skirt. #1 is my favorite outfit; I like the proportions and lengths the best here. The vest, top and skirt look very good together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66384 Wed, 20 May 2009 01:47:22 +0000 Kari 66384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the color, Marianne. I looked at the pictures before I read the comments, and I also liked #1 and 4 best - the layering seemed to balance out the length of the skirt better than #2 (I don't like the proportions of the skirt quite as much with the shorter top) and #3 (I think it would work better with a more cropped jacket.) #1 is definitely my favorite, though - the navy vest looks SO cute with this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66381 Wed, 20 May 2009 01:30:15 +0000 cciele 66381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is such a pretty color, and even though it is warmer than you normally might wear, I think it works with your skin tone because it is a saturated color, which you can carry off very well.</p> <p>I agree with the other comments --<br /> - shorten the skirt; the flare looks a little big<br /> - Look #3 doesn't work for me; I think because of the cut and color of the jacket<br /> - I love the vest! Navy and coral is a great combo<br /> - Look #2 would look nice with some long necklaces<br /> - Love the cardi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66379 Wed, 20 May 2009 01:14:48 +0000 Maya 66379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like all the ways you have worn it (with the exception of number two...it's just a little flat for me). I think you could do with a couple of inches off the overall length. That will make it flare out a little bit less as well. It looks like it could be a sweet casual skirt though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66348 Tue, 19 May 2009 22:13:56 +0000 Laura 66348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a shorter length might be more flattering but if you like it this length, it could work if you show more skin up top? Maybe a lower cut blouse/shirt? I like the white sweater because the short sleeves show off your arms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66322 Tue, 19 May 2009 20:37:51 +0000 Lena 66322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne, I also like outfits no.1 and no.4. I think it needs more visual interest, and layering adds that extra punch. I'm not good judging length, I hope others chime in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66283 Tue, 19 May 2009 17:31:10 +0000 Chris 66283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking too long. Maybe a bit large in hip area? </p> <p>Like the way you mixed the colors - especially the short cardi pic (#3?) though.</p> <p>What do others think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66281 Tue, 19 May 2009 17:29:31 +0000 bella 66281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color of this skirt. I can't really distinguish warm and cool colors but I'd say this color looks great on you.<br /> The skirt is a bit voluminous so it might work better slightly shorter.<br /> As for styling I like outfits #1 and #4. The jacket in the third picture is too voluminous imo. The second outfit could use some wooden chunky bracelets and a belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-can-i-do-with-this-skirt#post-66273 Tue, 19 May 2009 17:13:34 +0000 marianne 66273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend gave me this skirt, and I am trying to figure out how I could use it. I barely ever wear skirts, and it's a warmer color than I would normally wear, so I am not sure what colors I can combine it with. Here I am trying it with neutrals - black, white, brown, navy (the vest is navy, not sure if it works).<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7032.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7032.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7031.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7031.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7028.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7028.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7027.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7027.jpg</a></p> <p>Also, does this length work for me or is it too long?</p> <p>Any thoughts or styling suggestions are appreciated.
