And great colours for you. But then I have a 'sugar eye' for A-line skirts and plaid, both. :-)</p> <p>You look so stylish. A great British country chic look, which I also have a weakness for, I guess.</p> <p>For other ways to style, have you considered belting over your sweaters if they aren't fitted enough to balance the fullness of the skirt? Reining the waist in slightly might be enough to do that job. Or if the waistband allows, tuck the lot in, sweater and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-816852 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 02:25:30 +0000 Karie 816852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! I'm re-thinking the scarf with this, I like Angie's suggestion to wear a denim jacket (I don't have a leather one). And Moira, I have several long sweaters but I don't know if they are fitted enough - I'll have to try them on and see.</p> <p>Thanks for your suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-802420 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 23:17:32 +0000 moira 802420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you. NO. I also just love it.<br /> I wonder if you could pair it with a long fitted sweater and change the proportion completely? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-801500 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 02:32:56 +0000 Atlantia 801500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful outfit for winter! Something about a-line skirts in winter are just perfection. I think because in case it snows you can wear boots and tromp around easily, unlike in a pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-801382 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 21:20:19 +0000 Emily 801382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love plaid and A-Line skirts, and I think you look great in this one. Love it with the boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-801319 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 18:50:57 +0000 Thistle 801319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fantastic, I see why you got so many compliments!</p> <p>Great drape to the skirt, and I like the tartan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-801311 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 18:41:09 +0000 Kiwichik 801311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want that skirt - beautiful shape &amp; colours.

You've styled the skirt really well. No wonder you got compliments </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-800907 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 02:36:58 +0000 Suz 800907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt has a super shape and drape and looks really nice on you. You could pair it with lots of different tops, too. Skirts like this are super for wearing with boots, too, as you are doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-800835 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 01:20:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 800835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning skirt! It has such a beautiful shape and gorgeous colours. Sometimes it's good to step outside our comfort zone </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-800786 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 23:59:14 +0000 biscuitsmom 800786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely agree with Angie...its lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-800764 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 23:34:15 +0000 Angie 800764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the skirt on you! It's retro, and can be worn in a modern way too. It's perfect with the boots and tucked top, Karie! A denim or cropped leather jacket would look superb with it. No wonder you received compliments today :)</p> <p>(I love tartan). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-wasnt-going-to-post#post-800760 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 23:26:39 +0000 Karie 800760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so have you ever had articles of clothing that you purchased even though it wasn't really "you?" This skirt fits that category. Well made, fits great, comfy for work...and it sat on my dresser for a full two weeks or more while I decided if I should keep or return it. I obviously kept it, and have worn it a few times.</p> <p>So the top half is "me" - shirt with a little sparkle to it, and a brightly colored scarf (crimson red!)</p> <p>But the bottom half...well, a plaid skirt, but I do like the shorter style of it and I like the yolk on the belted waistband. </p> <p>I know a lot of you have a poisoned eye for plaid A-line skirts...but I got tons of compliments at work today so I thought I'd post!</p> <p>Meanwhile, Jasper is waiting patiently for his supper... </p>
