My highest heels are no heels at all I'm afraid. The only higher shoes I have are old dancing shoes!</p> <p>Thanks Girl X! I think that's a great solution in theory, but it somehow looks off with this skirt. I think it's because they are fewer big buttons, I suspect smaller and more closely placed buttons would look better partly unbuttoned.</p> <p>Thanks Kristin! Those are my favourite tights. They have some small holes, but I wear them anyway - I haven't found something similar yet and they aren't obvious. I really want more argyle tights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-773051 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 00:40:16 +0000 Kristin SF 773051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suppose your answer is to find a great replacement skirt, but just popping in to say this entire outfit looks great on you, and I esp love the tights with those boots. I am inspired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-773014 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 23:50:20 +0000 Girl X 773014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is definitely cute enough to save - if having a few buttons undone improves your stride, than remove the unbuttoned buttons and sew them to the buttonholes, that way you don't lose the look of the line of buttons, which is likely why it looks odd to you when worn unbuttoned. Did I use the word 'button' enough? lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772997 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 23:24:52 +0000 DonnaF 772997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The solution to narrower skirts is higher heels, since one can't take very long strides in heels! I know you don't wear heels, Astrid, due to all the walking you do, but maybe if you were to wear the highest heeled shoes/boots you own with this skirt it might lower your frustration level. The skirt looks great on you, however! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772949 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:38:39 +0000 Astrid 772949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Atlantia! I'm glad you think so. I've had this one for a while and I knew fairly soon that it was a mistake. I'm still trying to wear it from time to time though, until the perfect replacement comes along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772941 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:36:22 +0000 Atlantia 772941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a shame that the skirt doesn't work for you. How awesome that you're chalking it up as a wardrobe mistake so quickly. Usually I have a hard time coming to terms with mistakes, so thanks for being strong and inspiring on that score. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772940 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:35:45 +0000 Astrid 772940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, this is my only one. I always thought about replacing it some time, but I haven't found the perfect one yet and I want to wait until I find it. Not that I make the same mistake again! ;)</p> <p>ETA<br /> Thanks JR! I agree, I prefer some swish with my skirts.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772939 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:35:36 +0000 JR 772939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it is cute, and I love my own denim skirt, but somehow your swishy A-lines seem to be more Astrid, if you know what I mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772936 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:33:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 772936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We've all got a few of those :)</p> <p>I do like the sweater with a denim skirt and those beautiful boots though - do you have another denim skirt you could wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772931 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:32:54 +0000 Astrid 772931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shannon! Yes, it really is too bad. I guess this skirt was one of my wardrobe mistakes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772927 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:30:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 772927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad about the skirt Astrid 'cause this looks fab on you and I love it with your new sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772864 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:08:46 +0000 Astrid 772864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! Yes, it is stretchy. It bothers me all the same... Mmh.</p> <p>Thanks Deborah, that's true.</p> <p>Thanks Inge! I'm going to try partly unbuttoned, maybe I find something that works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772856 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:06:22 +0000 Astrid 772856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Pil! It already has a vent in the back, but it still is tight.</p> <p>Thanks Carole, you're right!</p> <p>Thanks Caro! I could, but I think it looks strange when it's not completely buttoned. I could try it again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772853 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:04:54 +0000 Inge 772853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest the same thing as Caro, Astrid, I too get annoyed when I can't stride like I normally do:-)<br /> It is a very fun look, though, so I hope you find a solution for your naughty skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772852 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:04:54 +0000 Deborah 772852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good but comfort is really important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772851 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:04:45 +0000 Suz 772851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does the skirt have any stretch? And can you make a slit in back? Mine has both and that allows it to feel okay for walking even though it is below knee length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772847 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:03:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 772847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great but I know what you mean about walking. Could you open the bottom buttons? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772844 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:01:15 +0000 Carole 772844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it looks cute especially with the tights. But comfort is king, at least most of the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772843 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:01:11 +0000 pil 772843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks really nice, Astrid. Can you split the seam of the skirt in the back a bit to give you more room? Kind of like a kick pleat? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-sweater-with-denim-skirt#post-772837 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 21:59:05 +0000 Astrid 772837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my new sweater with my denim pencil skirt today. I liked the way it looked, but I didn't like the skirt - I hate how my stride is shortened when I'm walking around wearing it. That would be why I never wear it. I think this sweater will just be paired with pants in the future! </p>
