I'm interested in developing a couple of skirt patterns for myself come spring, although I want to start with a fullish midi chambray --- big inverted or box pleats.</p> <p>You make great fabric choices and execute so well, Amy. I wear this color combo and even have a red pencil, but the leopard booties are such a rich accent. </p> <p>Happy New Year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-807042 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:45:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 807042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOHHHHH love this Amy! I love the bold oversized stripes with the red skirt and I like how the shape of the sweater works towards the de-bombshelling of the skirt as well. And then those fun and unexpected booties just give the whole outfit even more ooomph! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-807021 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:25:29 +0000 annagybe 807021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh, wow! I'm flattered. I love this look! I think the stripes are brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-807013 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:19:37 +0000 kimlee 807013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, let me begin by saying that I am envious your ability to sew your own skirts. Sewing is a skill I do not posess. Secondly, this outfit is bold - and you really make it shine. I have an orphan red pencil skirt in my closet and you've given me some thought was how to style it. Keep the great looks coming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-806988 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:06:01 +0000 Amy 806988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your kind comments! I hadn't thought of the Kate Spade aspect, but you're right. And since this outift has a high happiness factor for me, I'm going to look at her outfits a little more closely and see what I can learn. Thank you.</p> <p>Pil, the skirt is lined. I try to line most skirts, dresses, jackets and dress slacks for a few reasons: (1) linings help the garment keep its shape; (2) linings help the garment drape over your body nicely; (3) no slip required!</p> <p>They're not all that difficult to add, so I encourage you to try </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-806966 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:54:24 +0000 Inge 806966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Anne, I detect a bit of a Kate Spade vibe here as well. I love rugby stripes and this black and white sweater looks fantastic with the red skirt: bold and graphic. Fun pattern mixing with the booties too, I'm taking notes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-806930 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:36:49 +0000 pil 806930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so nice, Amy. Is the skirt lined? That is one step I try to avoid at all costs when sewing.<br /> I love the booties with the skirt! Guess my eye is getting accustomed to this look as I was admiring Shannon's dress and bootie combination today too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-806849 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:50:51 +0000 Kirti 806849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! I love the colour of your skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-806822 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:27:27 +0000 Amy 806822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone!</p> <p>@NPM, I bet you could wear a red skirt, no problem. It's the colors near the face that are trickier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-806817 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:17:14 +0000 Carole 806817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just had to log back in to say how great you look, love your photography, actually and to say that you are ultra-talented. Amazing job on the skirt! I thought to myself "looks like she has the famous Halogen pencil skirt", and to think you made this yourself! Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-806801 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:36:07 +0000 Anonymous 806801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the chic simplicity of this outfit and the stripes/color give a nod to Kate Spade, but with some funk, thanks to the booties. </p> <p>And nice job on the skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-806798 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:35:39 +0000 Suz 806798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FAB look, Amy!! Love it this on you.

You look relaxed and at peace with the world. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-010113---stripes-and-spots#post-806784 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:08:40 +0000 Jamie 806784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty!
