KKards I like a long skirt if it is narrower, like a column.  A wider one does not suit my shape. Thanks!

Yes, YLF - both the outfit and your hair! Do your glasses colour coordinate with the skirt? If it helps, this 'long jumper over long skirt' look is trending in Hong Kong right now - I mostly see it with boots, sometimes trainers, but never a belt Sal on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351685 Sun, 04 Feb 2024 19:29:53 +0000 Sal 2351685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay from me.

I agree with, Carol, it’s a statement.

And I second FC. A long pendant would be a great addition. (Thanks for the shout out.) Firecracker (Sharan) on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351243 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 18:41:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2351243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it a lot! I like the long vertical line created by the long-over-long pairing. I would add a long pendant. But that's because I have some long pendant necklaces that rarely get worn lately, as I've been wearing more cropped tops over high-waist pants. Star (Lise) on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351242 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 18:26:25 +0000 Star (Lise) 2351242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jules Thanks!   A silk/rayon scarf is a great idea. Jules on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351240 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 18:02:44 +0000 Jules 2351240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the proportions! Maybe being a 70s born kid with 80s and 90s fashion influences makes it look "classic" to me? A pretty silk/rayon scarf with some colour harmony (whether matching or contrasting) with the skirt would be a nice addition too.  Star (Lise) on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351237 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 17:44:11 +0000 Star (Lise) 2351237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you so much Suz for all the lovely comments!  This light weight velvet skirt is home-grown vintage, 20 plus years old!  I had not worn it for many years but was inspired by Brooklyn to get it out and about this winter, with the help of woolen tights, a long slip, and tall boots! Suz on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351233 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 17:37:08 +0000 Suz 2351233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it! Long over long! I loved wearing this back in the 80s and still love the look -- makes you long and lean and also cozy warm for winter. AND my goodness, your hair is gorgeous! So is the skirt itself.  And yay for the phone!  Star (Lise) on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351232 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 17:33:18 +0000 Star (Lise) 2351232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Carol I guess it is a statement.  Never realised this.  Guess that fits with my comment on Angie's blog today that I don't like to blend in.  Belting is not an option for me as I have no waist right now.  I can see it with a black shawl, but not really a look that is me, a bit too boho?  Thanks for your appreciation and thoughts!   April I like long over long in summer weight fabrics too, like linen or cotton, so long as both items are narrow. Carol on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351217 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 16:01:24 +0000 Carol 2351217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it. But I think it is a statement, and not for everyone. Something like that, you could amp it up by throwing a black shawl around your shoulders. Or tone it down by belting it.   Star (Lise) on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351216 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 15:52:20 +0000 Star (Lise) 2351216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes Angie!  I love that you think it looks 80s.  Thank you so much for the hair compliment. Thanks April, I think cozy is apt. Thanks Dee! Angie on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351208 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 14:22:00 +0000 Angie 2351208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It does! In an ‘80s fab way! Your silver long hair is gorgeous! YOU ARE USING YOUR NEW PHONE!!!

April on "WIW : 31/01 YAY or NAY?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3101#post-2351197 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 12:12:33 +0000 April 2351197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Personally, I love a long-over-long silhouette in winter fabrications, especially with boots below.  It has a warm and cozy vibe.  Thumbs up from this corner!
