Y'all make me feel so lovely and put together.</p> <p>@Jules and @rae: Funny, I see hips in the mirror - but not the picture.</p> <p>@MaryK: Thanks so much! It might still be a bit out of my price range, but I love it (although&nbsp;we'd be in serious twinsy territory).</p> <p>@Suz: Thanks! Definitely okay - and thanks for all of the suggestions the first time around!</p> <p>In other news, by about 11 I remembered&nbsp;why I never wear pumps. My heels are so narrow that they clomp around in some horribly undignified ways. Oops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178767 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 20:32:45 +0000 Jenny H 1178767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty! My favorite is the blouse without the sweater. Yup, a nice dose of spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178766 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 20:32:41 +0000 Suz 1178766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Mary K said, and by the way, if it is okay to say this, you have great legs!&nbsp;</p> <p>I definitely think you have made the skirt work-ready. Fun cufflinks, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178762 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 20:29:33 +0000 El Cee 1178762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorkable -- You look absolutely <b>adorable</b>! The outfit does not draw attention to your hip area. In fact, it shows off your lovely waist. I like it best without a sweater or&nbsp;blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178728 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 20:05:08 +0000 Debra 1178728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a delightful outfit. The yellow is gorgeous and you look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178722 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 20:00:12 +0000 E 1178722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top goes so beautifully with the skirt! The sweater keeps the shape which is lovely, but it feels a bit heavy in the outfit.&nbsp;I wonder if sheer dark hose would balance it? Something to try out for next time maybe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178665 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 18:55:57 +0000 Karie 1178665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top with the skirt looks fantastic! I don't care for it as much with the jacket - how about with a white/cream/light gray&nbsp;blazer or sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178645 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 18:34:32 +0000 rae 1178645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! I don't think it brings the eye to the hip - I think it accentuates your pretty waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178644 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 18:30:34 +0000 MsMary 1178644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Banana Republic has a nice cobalt blazer.&nbsp; It comes in petites and it's 35% off today with code BRSAVE:&nbsp; <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=932447002&amp;tid=braff2178999&amp;ap=2&amp;siteID=brafcid105" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....brafcid105</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178632 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 18:12:31 +0000 Jules 1178632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I don't see pear or hippy at all (and as a hippy gal myself, my eye does tend to be drawn there...). I see a balanced and fit figure. And a great outfit, although I do prefer it without the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178631 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 18:12:07 +0000 kkards 1178631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the blouse with the skirt, i do think that maybe a blazer would work better than the sweater. but i do like the sweater with the skirt, maybe try a crew neck knit or blouse instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178627 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 18:05:12 +0000 Anonymous 1178627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blouse + skirt is so pretty and springlike. Reminds me of daffodils! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178626 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 18:02:07 +0000 adorkable 1178626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thanks for the compliments!</p> <p>@MaryK: We almost match today! Any advice on where to find a cobalt blazer would be rather&nbsp;welcome! I'll take a pic with the black blazer when I get home.</p> <p>@rabbit: She is very happy that I live 3,000 miles away and don't get to raid her closet until she decides she's done with things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178597 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 17:39:04 +0000 citygirldc 1178597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice springlike outfit. Wishing it was Spring or summer now. &nbsp;You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178594 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 17:34:58 +0000 rabbit 1178594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gah! I think it looks GREAT. &nbsp;I like both the with and without sweater versions. A blazer might be more formal than the sweater, but I like the silver zippers on the sweater - they just add something.</p> <p>That's great you can wear your mom's hand me downs. &nbsp;My mom's wedding dress fit me... until I turned 10, lol.&nbsp;</p> <p>cute cufflinks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178511 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 16:04:56 +0000 Thistle 1178511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it both with and without the blazer. Two very different vibes for sure, but still fun. </p> <p>I especially like the yellow skirt with the printed top. Summery and lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178509 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 16:03:33 +0000 MsMary 1178509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the blouse with the skirt!&nbsp; That is a BIG WIN!!!</p> <p>Not sure I'm super in love with the sweater, although it's hard to see the details in the photo.&nbsp; It's not bad at all, I just feel like it doesn't do justice to the rest of the fab outfit.&nbsp; I'd love to see the blazer version!</p> <p>And loving the cufflinks!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-226-the-yellow-skirt-again#post-1178501 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 16:00:03 +0000 adorkable 1178501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yellow skirt + unquestionable office-appropriate neutrals = possible success. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!</p> <p>It definitely draws attention to my hips, but I'm not particularly self-conscious about my pear tendencies.</p> <p>I go back and forth as to whether a black blazer would work better. It's a very different look with the blazer, and certainly more formal.</p> <p>Skirt: Nordstrom Rack<br />Top: Calvin Klein (via Ross Dress-for-Less)<br />Shoes: Clarks<br />Sweater: Ma Adorkable's hand-me-downs (noticing a trend here?)</p> <p>Bonus pic: DP's glorious strawberry shortcake cufflinks. </p>
