That skirt is gorgeous and I adore the looser top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-995177 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:46:44 +0000 Suz 995177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will work! You are wise to do some adjustments now. It takes a while for us to get used to the new proportions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-995121 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:36:18 +0000 christieanne 995121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a slightly longer tapered pencil is perfect with sandals. Give it a go. Nice top for the skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-995013 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 07:41:34 +0000 Hil 995013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess my fear is that while it may elongate the body my legs will look short and stubby - and they weren't exactly that long to start with at only 5'24!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-995007 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 07:21:32 +0000 Deborah 995007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hil, I struggle with the midi length too, but I think this looks great. I do think it has a lot to do with what we are used to seeing. But this seems to elongate the body and I think it's great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-994999 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 06:55:52 +0000 Hil 994999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I like Froggiebeckie's idea of workshopping some summer skirt looks so I may do that when I get a moment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-994390 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 19:59:30 +0000 Debra 994390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fantastic, love the colour and super skirt this skirt will also be great for hot weather with summer flats and comfy tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-994379 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 19:55:39 +0000 amiable 994379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-994374 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 19:54:10 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 994374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good on you. If there is leg showing between&nbsp;skirt and boots, just wear dark tights. The top works very well on this skirt: wide over tight. And the blue colour is a good colour for you. Hope your eyes get used to the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-993961 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:06:48 +0000 Beth Ann 993961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes, Hil. Beautiful color and proportions.&nbsp; And Shannon's right that the taper is especially nice.&nbsp; I think a tapered midi length might be the most pleasing to your eye.&nbsp; So much easier to sit in skirts this length!&nbsp; No more gluing our thighs together "just in case!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-993902 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:07:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 993902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the midi club Hil! I love the length of the skirt and the taper is oh so flattering. Beautiful with that lovely sweater over top. Great outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-993891 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:00:52 +0000 Lantana 993891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think the length is good and you might just need to adjust your eye to its newness.<br /> I am thinking spring and summer now too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-993826 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:33:40 +0000 Anonymous 993826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it 'a lot'! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-993807 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 10:27:42 +0000 Anonymous 993807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like what I see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-993772 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 07:31:23 +0000 froggiebecky 993772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length! I also like the hi-lo qualities of the top.&nbsp;<br />Can you workshop the look with sandals to show us? I think some open-toes booties could be interesting here, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-993765 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 06:15:27 +0000 Gaylene 993765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Caro in liking this length on you but I know how hard it is to adjust one's eye. I've found playing around with footwear helps me find my comfort zone when it comes to skirt lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-993764 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 06:06:21 +0000 Caro in Oz 993764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this length &amp; I love the top on you - fab colour. I&nbsp;think because the skirt, tights &amp; boots are all black you have more options than if you were wearing just a skirt a sandals - there seems to be a sweet spot for skirt lengths for me in summer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-length-thing#post-993763 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 05:56:38 +0000 Hil 993763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This skirt has always been knee length on me, and I've always worn it rolled once so that it sits slightly above the knee. I'm trying to adjust my eye to a knee and midi length because I don't think I can get away (or be comfortable) with the shorter lengths for the summer months&nbsp;and I'm determined to make skirts a big part of my summer wardrobe. </p> <p>Today's outfit is the unrolled skirt with my teal high low skirt and flat, tall, riding boots. </p> <p>Your thoughts? </p>
