Maybe we'll have it in the EU for fall, too? Love all your stylings, but the black booties are surely a bit more dressed up to my eyes. Gorgeous all together:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653680 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 07:17:46 +0000 ManidipaM 653680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's a fabulous buy for your style, Deborah! </p> <p>I prefer the grey booties with this for their slight heft counterpointing the femininity of the skirt and the lighter colour that leavens the dramatic black-and-white on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653660 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 05:53:27 +0000 Kiwichik 653660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You totally rock that skirt. I like it with the darker booties balancing up the darker top. Great buy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653526 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 01:09:46 +0000 christy 653526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous skirt! Love it on you. I also like it best with the lighter boots. All of the layers in #3 seems overwhelming on you, but I think you are going to get a ton of use out of this skirt! Can't wait to see how you styled it today. I have the same issue with my long skirt - definitely forces me to shorten my stride! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653525 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 01:04:34 +0000 Deborah 653525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne I am doing my very best to avoid the hobble and attempt a very lady like poise lol. Initially I found a random size 10 and I could not have walked in that but the 12 is more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653508 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 00:12:15 +0000 anne 653508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I recognized it! I tried on same skirt in April. Shop had only one and it was too small for me (plus I wasn't too keen on hobbling effect that you mentioned). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653498 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 23:53:39 +0000 Deborah 653498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ladies! Glad it's a keeper I spent a good amount of time last night perusing everyone's posts on styling the dress to get some ideas for the skirt.</p> <p>Angie, I also prefer the lighter boot, the black just looked to heavy to my eye.</p> <p>Suz, yes I am enjoying wearing lighter, and colored footwear, so much so that my black shoes are not getting much of a look in at the moment.</p> <p>Anne, I found the skirt at Target! It was $35.00 and the fabric is excellent, good quality overall. They only had a couple and were hanging in a seemingly random spot in the store. I just happened to spot the stripe and dug deep and pulled out the skirt... I was quite pleased.</p> <p>Rute, thank you. I like the idea of an alternate styling with layering something longer over the skirt.</p> <p>Denise, I would never percieve your comments as critical. I always appreciate your considered responses. It seems any pair of lace up shoes I buy, have ENORMOUS laces I totally agree and I would do as you suggest with them to minimise the look of them.</p> <p>The top was from Cotton On and was about $25.00 last year. It was longer with the back coming down to my knee. The front probably to mid thigh length. I found I wasn't wearing it so I took to it with the scissors two weeks ago and cut it shorter (it's that jersey type fabric that is not hemmed) and I have already worn it about three times</p> <p>I am wearing the skirt to work today and have styled it differently to the photos and am in fact wearing long, fitted black boots with it. Unfortunately I overslept and had no time for photos but will try tonight when I get home and post. I am finding, due to the fit, that it's a very 'lady like' skirt.... small steps... no "striding" around the office for me today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653418 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 20:23:19 +0000 CocoLion 653418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This skirt looks amazing on you! And so your style. Without question, I'd keep it as it will go with so much of your wardrobe.</p> <p>I like all of your options. The black booties are dressier, and look fabulous. With the grey booties, the large laces distract a bit (or maybe I'm alone with this?). Could you try tucking them or wrapping them around the ankle so they don't interrupt the line? With the lace issue corrected, I like both booties equally. (Hope my comments aren't coming off as too critical.)</p> <p>Your black hi-lo top is so amazing, where did you get it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653416 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 20:18:18 +0000 Scarlet 653416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep! I love the asymmetrical top paired with the skirt--simple and interesting at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653366 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:48:11 +0000 rute 653366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!

I love it. I prefer the black booties for their shape, not necessarily the black color. Have a great week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653282 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 15:14:50 +0000 Anonymous 653282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653259 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:36:51 +0000 Angie 653259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

Where did you get it?</p> <p>I liked the top in 1 and 2, and the booties in 2 the best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653227 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 13:10:36 +0000 jayne 653227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is perfect, keep!. Liked without the extra draping and scarf best.

You look incredible. I did not like the black booties with this skirt because it seemed to me they fought for attention. Give all the attention to the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653198 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 11:51:24 +0000 Suz 653198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you joking? </p> <p>KEEP!!! </p> <p>You will wear this to death. It looks fantastic on you. Love the new booties, by the way. It's nice to wear lighter footwear for a change, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653195 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 11:40:28 +0000 Jjsloane 653195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so great and I can see it working so well in your wardrobe.

Gorgeous. I think I prefer the black boots in this case. Definitely keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653166 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 08:17:03 +0000 goldenpig 653166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks lovely and I'm bookmarking this thread--I will have to try a drapey top sometime with my B44 dress. You look so chic! I love the black and white striped B44 skirt on you! I like version #2 best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653160 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 07:29:49 +0000 Deborah 653160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari you should try that! I sometimes wear drapey tops over dresses for a bit if variety </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653157 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 07:27:45 +0000 Kari 653157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Also, you make me want to try layering an asymmetrical hemmed, floaty top over my dress. Lovely!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653156 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 07:26:55 +0000 Kari 653156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! That skirt has everything that I love in my own B44 dress. I'm so glad that you found it in black and cream. It really looks like you and fits like a dream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-b44-skirt#post-653155 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 07:23:19 +0000 Deborah 653155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... well the Aussie version!</p> <p>Hope you are all having a lovely weekend:)</p> <p>Found this today when I was returning something else. It's black and cream, fits like a glove and I just love the layering on this skirt. The dress just didn't work for me but I think this is ok?</p> <p>My styling attempts are basic (its 5pm Sunday and I should be getting organised for the week), but I do think keeping it simple lets the skirt "shine".</p> <p>Tried two different booties and high low top and also a longer knit jacket.</p> <p>Do I keep this?</p> <p>And any styling suggestions welcome:)</p> <p>Thanks<br /> xxx Deborah </p>
