I covet your sandals. Actually, I covet your whole outfit -- I love the silhouette on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-643426 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:14:15 +0000 Anonymous 643426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this last night, but didn't have time to comment. I think it looks INCREDible on you, and I love the updating you did. Not that I could have ever tell is *was* dated (or anyone else in your town, lol)! Rock this fab skirt, please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-643293 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:40:57 +0000 Jem 643293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these! I don't think you look dated at all!!! Add me to your shoe fan club, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-643290 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:39:09 +0000 Angie 643290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dated, updated - whichever way you look at it - you look incredible in all of these outfits, Denise! You rock my style world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-643193 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:58:47 +0000 Jonesy 643193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks fab! Love how the horizontal lines on the sandals echo the lines on the sweater. The skirt works like this, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-643178 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:38:17 +0000 Deborah 643178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks amazingly current to me. Clever styling Denise and it's very you. Given the update do you expect to bring this skirt back into rotation? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-643176 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:38:04 +0000 Jjsloane 643176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the update. Another fan of the shoes here too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-643166 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:19:25 +0000 Suz 643166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. What amazes me is the way you get all the details right. The lines in the shoe echo the lines in the sweater, the hi-lo of the sweater echoes the skirt, and you have a neat combination of textures going on, too. It looks very hip and urban and also very "you" -of-this-moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-643162 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 11:57:10 +0000 Anonymous 643162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the updated version, glamour girl, and I enjoyed hearing your thought process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-643161 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 11:51:06 +0000 Beth Ann 643161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the last two looks, Denise. The "details" of the skirt might not be on trend, but the overall silhouette is, particularly as you've styled it. Now --- if it doesn't make you feel fab, grab something else from your closet that does, and pass this one on. I'm really liking the fact that this hi/lo skirt has some structure, and is less extreme in volume and "slope" than the ones in stores currently.</p> <p>Now....I'm going to go put on a classic wrap dress for brunch. Hardly a new look, but it's new and fresh to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-643011 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 03:41:32 +0000 MNsara 643011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in awe of pics 4/5! I can see why you were called a glamour girl -- because it is so chic! in pic 5, I think it's incredible that both skirt and sweater have the exact same angle! It makes for a very cohesive hi-lo outfit.</p> <p>That means I prefer it without the jacket interfering with those beautiful geometric lines </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642981 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 03:12:15 +0000 cheryl 642981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the updated version looks fantastic! You look so chic and i love those shoes too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642925 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 02:23:58 +0000 Jaime 642925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also love the after look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642841 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 01:15:15 +0000 Janet 642841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great this way! I love that sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642773 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 22:46:41 +0000 DonnaF 642773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really rock that sweater like nobody's business, and I think the sweater + sandals could make a person wonder if he/she is seeing someone famous, hence the *glamour girl* reference. It doesn't mean bombshell, but that the look is on a higher level or three from what is seen in your environment. (Same sweater and sandals on me would look dumpy, and I would immediately catch on my watch and everything else on that sweater so I would have holes and strings hanging down every which way, so I wear those wonderful items vicariously through you!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642766 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 22:27:25 +0000 catgirl 642766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your updated version is awesome - I'm seeing skirts like this all over the place, and the knit sweater is AMAZING. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642758 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 22:09:05 +0000 rae 642758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I love those sandals, too!)</p> <p>I think you did a great job of bringing this skirt into the modern age - I used to love those back patches, too, but I think people did eventually get tired of huge tags on the behind. It helps that the skirt is a midi length, too, because now it looks totally current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642743 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 21:08:33 +0000 christieanne 642743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi-Lo is still on trend (maybe making another circle around) and I like the boxy top over the skirt. Brilliant to cover up that patch in back. I see why they did that as part of their brand but it's unfortunate. Can the brand patch be carefully removed at all? Like with a stitch picker tool? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642730 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:46:54 +0000 jayne 642730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the look in 5. The skirt is on trend and the way I see it worn is with converse and a tank. Loved your mature version! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642714 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:15:01 +0000 CocoLion 642714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sandals are from Steve Madden Shannon. Got them last year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642709 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:06:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 642709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a difference a few pieces can make - I actually think the skirt does work this way. The hem is still current with the hi-lo length. You've added a fabulous loose knit blowsy sweater (very current) to it with a wedge, caged sandal (also very current). I love this outfit - what sandals are those Denise? They look very similar to the Doc Martens sandal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642708 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:03:24 +0000 annagybe 642708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to covet Da-Nang. Finally got rid of all my pieces. Including one pair of embroidered red cargo pants with giant chrysthanenums that I bought at Century 21 in NYC in futile hope that I would lose weight to fit into them. By the time I could fit into them they weren't my style anymore. I couldn't even sell them to Buffalo Exchange.<br /> I like your update, but honestly think the skirt isn't quite working anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----updating-the-dated-this-time-for-real#post-642706 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:56:43 +0000 CocoLion 642706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I was told my last exercise in this challenge wasn't really dated, just classic. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----update-the-dated-challenge" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-challenge</a></p> <p>This made me realize there is a difference between what is dated and what I'm just tired of. I think fitted tops was a look I wore for a good 10 years, so for me it feels old even though it's not dated.</p> <p>Before Pictures 1/2 -- Da Nang (I was crazy about this brand) hi-lo midi skirt from 2003. I wore this to death until 2006. The back patch and military hardware (#2) are dated I think.</p> <p>After Pictures 3/4/5 -- I am wearing a black cami and black sandals to create a column effect. The loose knit sweater has a hi-low hem, hiding the patch, and is on-trend. Since it was chilly that day I wore my BB Dakota unlined jacket over the outfit. I was told by one acquaintance that I looked like a glamor girl in this outfit. Which isn't what I was going for, but I guess compared to my environmental norm (jeans and sweatshirts), I am.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
