You are a fast learner :)</p> <p>Like Suz, I like both combinations. Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-812127 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 23:01:30 +0000 Krista 812127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, you look great! I like it both ways, with a touch more preference for the outfit with the belt. I also like Celia's suggestion of tucking it in - you could try that and still add the belt or even a belt in another color at the waist. I think it would work in the proportions for you. I vote more skirts for you... more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-812116 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 22:51:29 +0000 Amy 812116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely outfit. I prefer it with the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-812053 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:46:02 +0000 Suz 812053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I like without AND with the belt; I think you can wear it both ways. Really a nice outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-812047 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:42:53 +0000 Isis 812047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit! I have a slight preference for no belt. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-812017 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:20:57 +0000 Caro in Oz 812017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the belt! Waist emphasis really works for you imo:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-811833 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:54:57 +0000 Sara L. 811833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the belt over the sweater and sometimes wear my belts like this too. I like the neutral color scheme and don't think a pop of color is necessary. Just a personal opinion though since I don't like too many colors in one outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-811814 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:33:44 +0000 Thistle 811814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!. </p> <p>Beth Ann - I am 5 feet 5.5 inches tall. Yeah, I know, but a half inch counts, right?!? I don't wear heels at all, so I think that helps with pants.</p> <p>Zap - A bright handbag is definately on The List. Right now, I only have 2 handbags total . . . </p> <p>I "borrowed" MaryK's idea of belting (I saw it in a lot of her WiWs, really liked it, and thought it would work for me), and I picked up 5 or so belts from Ann Taylor this year. I do feel like this has been working for my figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-811796 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:17:56 +0000 Anonymous 811796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww, I love that flared skirt. I am definitely in need of one after seeing DCgirl yesterday and you today. Lovely outfit. A pop of color would be nice but hey, it works as is too. What about a bright handbag? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-811760 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:44:30 +0000 Beth Ann 811760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a very quick learning, Thistle. This outfit -- with belt and necklace is terrific in its proportions. Do you mind my asking how tall you are? I'm only 5'6", but I'm a tad long waisted and "endowed," so I often have trouble finding the perfect length in knits for pants and am considering trying "tall" cuts.</p> <p>The belt gives a little needed structure which helps the knit stay in place. Pop of color? Great idea if you have it and it makes you happy, but not necessary here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-811711 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:52:48 +0000 celia 811711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fact that you are wearing just oatmeal and black here,it is a very nonsense outfit that I truly appreciate. </p> <p>That shirt does look a bit short to wear with pants. Did you try tucking it in the skirt?<br /> I like the idea of a pencil skirt with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-811699 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:45:37 +0000 lyn67 811699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear skirts and dresses all the time in winter!! And you look great in this!<br /> No problem at all with good weight thights, and a coat(even a longer puffer!)-and they show off some good boots, like yours, too:-).<br /> I don't have a problem with your sweatter- what I see it shows a tin waist! but I would suggest to try some kind of pencil skirts, too- as they are IMO the most flaterring for a fuller figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-811696 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:41:15 +0000 Anonymous 811696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sweater with the skirt and (I can't believe I'm saying this) I prefer with the belt (I usually don't like belts this way).</p> <p>A pop of color would be nice but you look GREAT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-skirt-in-winter#post-811687 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:33:29 +0000 Thistle 811687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I am wearing a skirt in winter. It was 26 degrees this morning, so a veritable heat wave!</p> <p>I am not sure the sweater works with my figure. It does not “smooth” over my curves. Also, it is a bit on the shorter side, so I don’t think it would work with trousers. Being able to only wear with flared skirts, and clearly a winter piece, makes this a borderline orphan. Open to thoughts before I put it in the charity pile.</p> <p>I also wanted to add a pop of color to this, but I am finding my accessories terribly lacking. Something for me to consider adding to The List.</p> <p>I took a picture with and without a belt. I originally was going to wear it without the belt, but added one at the last minute.</p> <p>Oatmeal Sweater – AT Loft<br /> Necklace - Talbots<br /> Black Patent Leather Belt – Ann Taylor<br /> Skirt-Talbots<br /> Fleece lined tights - Amazon<br /> Boots - Taryn Rose </p>
