I should have taken a photo. She had on the striped skirt, a black tee with black sequin stripes of approximately the same width as the stripes in the skirt, and silver woven smoking slippers. Plus a small metallic bag.&nbsp;</p> <p>Her very thoughtful and perceptive husband looked at her for a moment and said:&nbsp;</p> <p>"You remind me of a tropical fish."&nbsp;</p> <p>Brilliant!!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta/page/2#post-998748 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 01:38:59 +0000 Sveta 998748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I did not get to this thread earlier - today was very hectic at home! Thank you all for you responses and help. It was so much fun to have the whole YLF support group with us in&nbsp;the Nordstrom dressing room! :-)</p> <p>As Suz said I really could not make up my mind: #2 felt more flattering and easy to wear and #1 looked more summery and great fun, although it may be more difficult to create outfits with. In the end this was my reasoning:this is purely a summer skirt for me because of the weight, I will wear it with bare legs only and #1 felt more summer-like to me. Also I&nbsp;like the challenge :-)<br />I have already worn it today with a black sequin banded tunic and silver slipper flats - go team wear! :-)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta/page/2#post-998435 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 12:39:37 +0000 Anonymous 998435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought both. Great choice for Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta/page/2#post-998346 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 05:45:47 +0000 Vix 998346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sveta --</p> <p>Man, it took long enough to get to the answer!&nbsp;</p> <p>Great choice for all the reasons stated above -- though I was torn and would have said that about #2 as well. Have fun with your Graphical Drama skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta/page/2#post-998314 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 04:29:21 +0000 rachylou 998314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough tough, but I approve the choice (esp. since I got one myself, hehe). A darker thinner stripe is always considered more conventionally flattering, but the circus stripe - you can really dress this up or down and it's *wow* if you ask me. And I think it's very Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta/page/2#post-998311 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 04:23:14 +0000 Suz 998311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everybody! In the end she went with the bold stripe one (#1) although in this case she actually took the second one, and then exchanged it for the first (and we had quite an adventure involving a lost Nordstrom's card as a result!)&nbsp;</p> <p>Both looked great, but the bold stripe felt more summery and this is intended as primarily a summer item for her.&nbsp;</p> <p>Unfrumped, I would give it a try -- it does work well on many body types!&nbsp;</p> <p>Jeanne, I tried the houndstooth, too. I loved it, actually, but decided to keep the striped one instead. The houndstooth has a different outer fabric than the others. More like a polyester.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta/page/2#post-998264 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 03:25:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 998264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both! 1 if you want a bold skirt, and 2 if you want one that will easily work as a neutral in pattern-mixed outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998213 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 02:20:07 +0000 Stuti 998213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both on her. If just one then #2 but I am biased.</p> <p>I have ordered almost identical or identical skirt as #2.</p> <p>Will post pics once it arrives </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998187 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 01:36:56 +0000 Karie 998187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I always did have trouble making up my mind - BOTH </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998126 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 00:31:52 +0000 Thistle 998126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both! If only one is in the budget, then #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998122 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 00:30:20 +0000 velvetychocolate 998122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hate to be the one to make one's credit card statement larger than it needs to be, but in this case - I vote BOTH. The wider stripes are graphic and ultra-trendy, whereas the narrower stripe is more classic and subtle - and will get worn a lot more with all kinds of things. </p> <p>I guess I'm thinking the wider stripe is kind of a 'statement' piece in a way, and the narrower stripe will blend in a wee bit more. </p> <p>BOTH. </p> <p>Sorry if I'm not helping, but both would be a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998117 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 00:26:35 +0000 Anonymous 998117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This skirt is so fab on Sveta! I like both but if I had yo choose one it would be the wide stripes. Which has the highest happiness factor? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998093 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 23:54:20 +0000 Lisa 998093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are nice, but I vote #1 if you were thinking of pairing with that fab red/black stripe top from the other post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998062 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 22:15:45 +0000 claracluck 998062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>both </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998052 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:54:48 +0000 Isis 998052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998040 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:44:34 +0000 Mona 998040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #1 on her.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998039 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:43:30 +0000 ManidipaM 998039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>V tough choice. Adore the sophistication of 2 and keep picturing how funky 1 will look esp with the pleione wrap/draped top and denim jacket. Eta: like the 2-piece dresses Angie's been smiling at lately as the stripes will be proportionate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-998012 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:21:07 +0000 hedgiehog 998012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh, that's hard to choose! I like both on you, but my eye is drawn to the smaller stripe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997996 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:04:05 +0000 Jjsloane 997996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1 and another non-stripe. I just ordered the houndstooth and the black with grey stripe and now wish I'd done the one in #1 but was fearful I'd look huge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997969 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 20:41:51 +0000 Irene 997969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to choose!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997967 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 20:40:54 +0000 unfrumped 997967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't know if it is different IRL , but the couple of times I've seen these compared side by side, the wide stripe reads more high- end vs the narrow as more casual knit. I did not expect to like the wide stripe from the small stock photos, and yet It is the one I've preferred on the fabbers. </p> <p>I've been too leery to try this skirt myself for fear it is too body- con/ tapered for my hippy parts, but it seems to look great on a lot of people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997946 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 19:18:04 +0000 Makrame 997946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirts! &nbsp;I like both but #1 looks a bit more fab to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997944 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 19:17:42 +0000 Vildy 997944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #2 looks like it belongs in the rest of her wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997943 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 19:16:40 +0000 Debra 997943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 on you black, white or coloured tops will all look great with this one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997939 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 19:11:39 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 997939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that no. 2 is more elongating, but no. 1 is so wonderfully dramatic! &nbsp;A very hard choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997934 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 19:06:18 +0000 Parsley 997934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say get one stripe and one solid or other pattern, just for variety! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997929 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 19:03:49 +0000 Day Vies 997929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both! I am drawn to the narrow stripe because they make her look longer and leaner -- not that she needs ANY help in that area </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997925 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 19:00:29 +0000 Nicole D 997925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them! &nbsp;Prefer #1 but I think both are needed in the cart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997922 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 18:56:34 +0000 rae 997922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both! #1 for white/light tops, #2 for dark/black tops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-for-sveta#post-997917 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 18:48:49 +0000 cobaltblue 997917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look great. I prefer 1 for Sveta but think Glory has a good point about 2. </p>
