I love the colours and I can see why you love MMB's style too. I wouldn't have thought the skirt was too tight, so go sweater! hehe</p> <p>It's in the 70s here today with a threatened high of 81 (sigh), so I get having to dress for the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tight-pencil-skirt-workaround#post-1170470 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 18:01:21 +0000 Sara L. 1170470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In your pictures, the skirt looks like it fits fine. &nbsp;I think the long cardigan does a good job of hiding any fit issues. &nbsp;I like the color combination and think you look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tight-pencil-skirt-workaround#post-1170452 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 17:48:03 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1170452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Thank you all so much! I guess the sweater did its work in the camouflage department. I was pleasantly surprised that the skirt wasn't quite as tight as I had remembered, but here are a couple pics that show it a little better. It pulls across the thighs more than I like and the hemline creeps up as I move, which results in a little dance I like to call the tug-squiggle-shimmy whenever adjustments need to be made. I am pretty sure that maneuver is not as flattering as it is entertaining... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tight-pencil-skirt-workaround#post-1170252 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:21:48 +0000 Angie 1170252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tight-pencil-skirt-workaround#post-1170201 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:32:49 +0000 carambola 1170201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

I don't think the skirt looks too tight at all. I really like the dose of color from the sweater and I think the sweater really makes&nbsp;the outfit. It works beautifully with your skin tone and hair and when I tried to imagine if you had chosen a black, gray or tan (more neutral)&nbsp;sweater instead of this color it didn't feel as impactful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tight-pencil-skirt-workaround#post-1170180 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:13:34 +0000 Helena 1170180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me, and the skirt looks like it fits perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tight-pencil-skirt-workaround#post-1170156 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:41:35 +0000 Jaime 1170156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit and gorgeous bracelet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tight-pencil-skirt-workaround#post-1170155 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:39:54 +0000 MuseumGal 1170155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pretty, ladylike outfit.&nbsp; The color is fab on you.&nbsp; Love the bracelet too (typing that, I just realized the etymology of the word!).&nbsp; And no, I can't tell the skirt is tight.&nbsp; YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tight-pencil-skirt-workaround#post-1170153 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:33:44 +0000 Windchime 1170153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From this pic, I truly cannot tell that your skirt feels tight. The sweater is gorgeous with your hair color, and I too love your shell! Your sandals and bracelet complement the outfit beautifully. You look lovely in this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tight-pencil-skirt-workaround#post-1170148 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:25:52 +0000 Neel 1170148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with your top!!

I love boubles on your cardi, and have lots of scarves with similar embelishment. I don't see your pencil is too tight??? I see a good fit, and like the choice of a tan sandal, too! &amp;Bracelet is amazing, of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tight-pencil-skirt-workaround#post-1170141 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:20:14 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1170141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not yet been able to shop for new pencil skirts that fit (after all of your lovely and helpful suggestions) but with our weather back up in the 80's again, I decided to find a way to wear one of my too tight skirts.<br /> Sweater: Anthropologie<br /> Shell: CAbi<br /> Skirt: Express<br /> Shoes: Civico 10<br /> Bracelet: vintage piece from my MIL (given to her by an aunt - guessing from the 30's) </p>
