Always interesting to get a visual / &nbsp;lesson on proportions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1945110 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 19:55:43 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1945110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So you did find a good black denim skirt. I like the proportions of both outfits and I think I’m too unsophisticated to appreciate the diffference between leg lengthening and thigh lengthening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1945016 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 13:48:53 +0000 RobinF 1945016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great comparison. I agree with most here and say #2 is more conventionally flattering but #1 also looks great. Untucked is my preference for myself so this is very interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944995 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 13:14:26 +0000 Suz 1944995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fascinating, <b>Diana</b>. But first...<b>BOTH</b> are great outfits on you! You look amazing in black and white and the patterns of these tops are lovely.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think the proportions of #2 are slightly better, but I like #1 for its breeziness.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944913 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 01:24:26 +0000 jussie 1944913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these very much. I can see that the thigh does of course look longer in number two, but I think number one is still super cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944903 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 00:24:45 +0000 Anonymous 1944903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the 2nd is more lengthening, but your lower legs seem longer too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944875 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 23:46:11 +0000 Anonymous 1944875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting.&nbsp; I prefer #2 as looking the most balanced.&nbsp; My thighs are also long which meant that I could wear mini skirts well back in the day without their really being all that short.&nbsp; OTOH, it is hard to find shorts that do not look too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944722 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 16:57:17 +0000 Angie 1944722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There you go. EXTRA long thighs for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944658 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 14:50:58 +0000 Anonymous 1944658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look great but I actually like #1 best. Outlier, here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944625 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 13:55:18 +0000 Becky 1944625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer #2, as I think your entire silhouette looks more streamlined and structured. Great work applying those concepts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944319 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 19:04:13 +0000 Carol 1944319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt with those gladiators are so tasteful! I've never owned&nbsp; gladiators because I've never known how to wear them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944311 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 18:52:34 +0000 gryffin 1944311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana - amazing outfits, chic, cool, edgy!!&nbsp; You look fantastic!&nbsp; And yes I love the skirt too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944300 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 18:21:32 +0000 Diana 1944300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Angie, that’s really a part of my leg that I never think about lengthening! It’s also, not coincidentally, proportionally the longest part of my body - I have a regular rise but super long thighs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944298 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 18:19:32 +0000 Angie 1944298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EXACTLY<i><b></b></i><b>, Diana</b><i><b></b></i>. It's a TOP part of the leg lengthening thing. You can put your flat gladiators on with #2.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944295 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 18:17:23 +0000 Diana 1944295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Angie, good point and I agree. It’s interesting because I think that means that the shoes (flats vs platforms) don’t really make much of a difference.</p> <p>Nebraska Kim, I have a regular rise but a really high/short waist. You can kind of see where it is in the second outfit, it’s where the top indents above the skirt waistline. I actually sized up on the skirt to get it to sit a little lower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944292 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 18:16:22 +0000 Sara L. 1944292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits, but I'm really focusing on the skirt because I love it.&nbsp; I don't generally notice leg shortening or lengthening unless it's super obvious.&nbsp; Like you, leg length isn't a figure priority issue for me so I rarely notice it one way or the other. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944287 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 18:08:25 +0000 Anonymous 1944287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How interesting is this? &nbsp;</p> <p>My first reaction was that I liked both ensembles equally. &nbsp;</p> <p>Then I focused in and realized I really did like the second one better. &nbsp;But truthfully if we were not discussing this specific topic I am not certain I could have articulated why I liked it so much better. &nbsp;</p> <p>BUT now I clearly see why I like it so much better. &nbsp;Thank you for the visual. &nbsp;It helps immensely. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944277 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 17:50:03 +0000 Nebraskim 1944277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My untrained eye does think your proportions look longer in image No. 2. I like both outfits but from a flattery perspective, No. 2 is a clear winner. This makes me want to try to play with proportions a little more. I have a short rise, so even normal rise skirts/pants ride high on me. I don't need to buy "high rise" to look high rise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944248 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 16:23:55 +0000 Angie 1944248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfits. I adore that skirt on you, <b>Diana</b>.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE those gladiators, and the skirt is perfect. KILLER fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your legs definitely look longer <i>from the thighs upward </i>in #2, and those are the proportions I prefer of the two outfits. But both work well and are super cute.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-denim-skirt-outfits-including-todays-ensemble-sort-of#post-1944243 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 16:01:18 +0000 Diana 1944243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing an outfit inspired by today's blog ensemble today, and thought it would be fun to compare and contrast it with another similar outfit featuring the same skirt from earlier this week. &nbsp;</p> <p>#1 is today's outfit. &nbsp;I don't actually own any warm-weather cropped tops (I do have cropped sweaters) but this Uniqlo x Liberty linen blouse has the same kind of boxy, swingy feel as the tops Angie mentions in the blog post. &nbsp;It's a little boxier IRL than in this photo, see the photo in the find for the real shape. I paired it with my black denim skirt, which has been a real workhorse this summer. &nbsp;(I would have gone with a midi tube skirt as in the blog post but honestly it's too hot and humid for that today). &nbsp;My flats are my Vionic gladiators, which have maybe a 1/2" heel height. &nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is another outfit with the same skirt, but with more conventional "leg-lengthening" items - a semi-tucked slim, sleeveless blouse and 3" chunky platform sandals. &nbsp;</p> <p>So.... it's interesting. &nbsp;I don't actually feel like my legs look so much longer in #2, despite the fact that in #1 I have a boxy top, and lots of horizontal lines. &nbsp;What do you think? &nbsp;(To be fair, though, I do have very long legs for my height, so leg lengthening is not a thing I really worry about.) </p>
