I also don't mind the initial top semi-tucked (with the pearl sandals) but it's probably more of a mish-mash look than you're usually after. I wear my (very few) flared skirts with semi-cropped boxy tops, preferably with a welted hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323850 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 17:04:51 +0000 rachylou 1323850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty skirt! I like the first top tucked - but you have a lot of options with the other tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323843 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 16:57:27 +0000 kellygirl 1323843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 5 and 6 of the latest set. I actually also liked the untucked blouse in the first set. It seems like a JFE summer outfit that probably looks better in motion. You look cool and pretty and the gladiators add some edge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323840 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 16:53:36 +0000 bella 1323840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has been my problem with flared skirts before I sized out of them, but I had pretty much stopped wearing them for the exact same reason. #1 in the new set looks like a good option.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323760 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 14:56:10 +0000 Diana 1323760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. It looks like #1 is a winner. Thanks for the suggestion to try the color, Aubergine! It wouldn't have occurred to me. </p> <p>I also like #6, although like several of you mentioned, it's not so fashion forward. I think I'd prefer it with a jacket to add a little edge. </p> <p>I also weirdly like #4. It kind of reads EF/lagenlook to me, although again I think it may be a little too sweet for me. I think I'd prefer the top be grey. </p> <p>Debs, a jacket or structured topper would definitely make this easier and I'm sure I'll do that in the fall. But right now it's just too hot. I swear, even the blouse + cami was too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323736 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 14:31:41 +0000 jackiec 1323736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind the original outfit with the semi-tuck. Rabbit has good suggestions (I never thought of tying in the back!!! Thanks!). Of your variations I like #1 the best, then 5 &amp; 6. You certainly do rock those fuller skirts!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323732 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 14:27:47 +0000 Angie 1323732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More thumbs up for #1.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323556 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 05:21:21 +0000 AJ 1323556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 the best. Would a semi- tuck help any of the other tops? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323549 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 05:03:08 +0000 Deborah 1323549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I find this a bit tricky.&nbsp; I think it comes down to what silhouette YOU find attractive.&nbsp; I would need a very structured topper over a skirt like this to kind of reign it in.&nbsp; So a structured vest or jacket is what I am thinking initially.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323544 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 04:50:54 +0000 Sal 1323544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE 1. &nbsp;I think the shape is perfect. &nbsp;</p> <p>I also think 6 works. &nbsp;It is not so fashionable but I think it is a great classic summer breezy look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323440 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 01:39:52 +0000 Jules 1323440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #4. I do think #6 is figure flattering, but not as current perhaps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323345 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 00:02:41 +0000 Diana 1323345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok here are some other tops with the skirt. What do you think? Sorry for bad lighting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323295 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 22:41:31 +0000 Angie 1323295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blouse and the skirt - but perhaps not together - to your point.</p> <p>I love blush with white best. How about a white hand knit pullover?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323208 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 20:37:09 +0000 Sara L. 1323208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no help on the volume front - you've received good advice there.&nbsp; I have a top in similar colors and I wear it with olive.&nbsp; I think white and light blue would also look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323207 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 20:29:42 +0000 unfrumped 1323207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it tucked. <br />Tops are a challenge with the fuller skirts. Shorter, straighter, boxier (but not supersized) would work. <br />Also perhaps try something over the more floaty top to rein it in and give structure--denim vest, maybe.<br />I do love those blush colors for summer and can see why you liked the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323132 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 18:40:05 +0000 rabbit 1323132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I like the berry shirt. &nbsp; With the tie in the back (I actually don't make a knot, just a tie), I tuck it into the skirt waistband if it will show through the shirt itself. &nbsp; Sometimes works, sometimes nope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323128 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 18:32:28 +0000 catgirl 1323128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with full skirts for this reason. I can see the top with a more fitted skirt for sure. This looks good but it is very surrender-y on all fronts, KWIM? You've gotten better suggestions than I could give. Maybe a fitted jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323075 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:16:55 +0000 Anonymous 1323075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could see that one working really well!</p> <p>I forgot to say that it's always a pain for me to figure out what to wear with full skirts too. Especially after I've realized that my old default of a simple, fitted t-shirt tucked in and belted at the waist&nbsp;was maybe a little dated and also not great for my large chest-high waist&nbsp;combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323072 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:12:33 +0000 Diana 1323072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Aubergine, I wonder if this top might work?&nbsp; It's more berry than burgundy but sort of the same tonal idea.&nbsp; Might be too long though.&nbsp;It's sort of fitted at the waist so it might be OK.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323070 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:09:19 +0000 Anonymous 1323070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt, and I think I prefer the top&nbsp;semi-tucked to&nbsp;untucked. </p> <p>Could burgundy maybe work with the skirt as well? There'd be sort of a tonal thing going with the blush. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323066 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:04:00 +0000 Peri 1323066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the 3rd picture quite a bit and I personally don't think it looks like too much volume. I think it looks summery and fresh.</p> <p>I've done the same thing with tops lately...liking long and loose. I don't have many skirts, but since I like long and loose pants too I know what you mean about wondering what to do. I think I am just getting used to more volume as long as the items are fine and floaty like yours.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323065 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:01:26 +0000 Diana 1323065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting idea, Rabbit.&nbsp; I'm not sure a knot in the back would work because the top is pretty sheer so the knot would show even if I tucked it under.&nbsp; Unless I am interpreting that wrong?&nbsp; <br />I don't like a full tuck into this skirt because the waistband is a bit too wide and&nbsp; loose, so I prefer to cover at least part of it.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: Ummila, I don't own a white crop top, unfortunately (or a taupe cami for that matter), but that sounds like a good outfit!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323062 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:58:26 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1323062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a crop top (white, boxy) with a slate/dark taupe&nbsp;tank underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323058 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:55:19 +0000 rabbit 1323058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely top and beautiful skirt. &nbsp;I was thinking of gray tops (any shade) as a possibility as well. &nbsp;Maybe experiment with any other soft pastel colors you have as well. &nbsp; Any tops that are cropped or have a bottom welt would be worth experimenting with. &nbsp; </p> <p>With the top you are wearing, is it possible to tie a knot in the back and tuck it in or under itself&nbsp;there? I was just experimenting with that myself, because I didn't want knot volume in the front, but I wanted the length and look&nbsp;&nbsp;of a loose tuck in the front. &nbsp;I &nbsp;think the semi-tuck you show&nbsp;works too but&nbsp;has a more casual feel. Or how does a full tuck look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323055 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:51:53 +0000 Diana 1323055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, this top might work (with a different belt, or no belt at all).&nbsp; But I worry it will look too sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323050 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:44:51 +0000 Diana 1323050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, the problem is that I purged most of my shorter, tighter tees because I don't like that fit any more.&nbsp; The ones I have left are mostly too long for the skirt or have a bit of peplum shaping which might be too much volume.&nbsp; I might try my grey petal tee though (thanks Meredith for the idea to try grey) - it is a peplum shape but the shorter petal detail in front may make it work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323048 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:40:45 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1323048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The semi-tuck might work with a belt but I don't really like it without, personally. The color combination is lovely, though. I think a simple knit tee that fits closer to the body would work great with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323039 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:21:00 +0000 Meredith 1323039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty skirt. Do you think it would work with gray or an olive top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-white-needs-some-tweaking-maybe#post-1323038 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:16:44 +0000 Diana 1323038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this blush full skirt with a taupe rose print recently because I just fell in love with the pattern and color.&nbsp; I have to admit to having a bit of trouble styling it though.&nbsp; First, I'm not sure what colors to pair it with besides white and possibly black.&nbsp; Taupe or brown would work but I don't own any taupe or brown tops.&nbsp; </p> <p>Secondly, I seem to have been buying a lot of longer, loose tops lately, which don't pair so well with my full skirts like this one. Today I've paired it with one such top, but I'm thinking it might be a little too much volume and length.&nbsp; I do feel like I look slightly pregnant in the side view.&nbsp; It's actually better without the cami underneath (because it's clearer that the top is a sheer floaty thing that is not actually touching my stomach) but that's too naked for work.&nbsp; </p> <p>When I got to work this morning, I tried semi-tucking the top.&nbsp; (I also tried tying it but it just looked too bulky.)&nbsp; Is it any better with the semi-tuck?&nbsp; If I had thought to do this at home I'd probably have added a belt.&nbsp; </p> <p>Oh, and I chose the bronze gladiators to match the print in the skirt but I'm thinking they are too dark for this outfit.&nbsp; Next time I'd probably wear my pearl sandals.&nbsp; </p> <p>Vince Camuto shirt, AT skirt, Born gladiators.</p>
