You can do no wrong in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300760 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 05:09:49 +0000 Jonesy 300760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1 and 3! Yes, you absolutely must get some new boots--it's meant to be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300677 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 01:51:45 +0000 celia 300677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everybody take on fashion here at the forum but when I look at yours I always have the feeling that it was something I might have come up with also :)<br /> I love your outfits and can see how one yellow bag can be a good addiction to my wardrobe. Sorry to hear about the boots, I'm sure that you 'll find some fab new ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300664 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 01:02:40 +0000 rae 300664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coco, thanks for your kind words! After reading, I posted my recent thrift purchases with the prices... Maybe I will start listing on my WIWs as well. I am lucky to live near a handful of swap meets that are kind of like Goodwill Outlets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300648 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 23:35:46 +0000 CocoLion 300648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going ga-ga over #1. It really popped out at me, just love everything about it, the proportions, the color mix. It feels Annie Hall 70s to me... and we all know I love that decade.</p> <p>#2 and #3 are also perfectly pulled together and make me think of the word "crisp."</p> <p>I am impressed that you do it without spending a lot. I wonder if you would ever be willing to post amount spent on your outfits? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300641 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 23:25:11 +0000 rae 300641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, this is clearly an opportunity to stalk some new brown boots. The glass is totally half FULL!

I got rid of a similar-fitting pair of Steve Madden boots a while ago - cringing to think of how I wore them so cluelessly before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300391 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 14:57:50 +0000 Queen Mum 300391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all. The skirt length in 1 works really well in you. I prefer #3 over #2. You always look so great in all your outfits. I love seeing your WIW's </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300390 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 14:49:36 +0000 Kristine 300390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt length on #1, in fact it's my favorite outfit of the bunch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300291 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 03:02:14 +0000 Stephanie 300291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you are so great at mix-and-match--you should give seminars! I'm esp impressed with #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300288 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 02:35:44 +0000 rae 300288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, I am glad to have Angie and everyone's approval on the skirt -- less work for me! ;)</p> <p>Aida, bless you for trying to save the boots, but they do not slouch at all. They are faux suede, lined with some kind of spongy material that helps them keep shape. I guess they will go back to the Goodwill from whence they came. </p> <p>Lisa, you are so right about views changing as we learn -- isn't it painful at times? lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300260 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 02:00:57 +0000 Lisa 300260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1, I think part of why this skirt works is the heel and part is it is hitting your leg at a narrow point. Good spot on the leg. To funny about the boot gap, as we learn, our viewpoints really do change, no? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300249 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 01:21:57 +0000 Aida 300249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1, I would leave the skirt that length since it looks so great (with heels as Angie said)! I prefer #3 sans scarf. For #4/5, can the boots be folded over at all or are they too thick? Or possibly be slouched down so the gape looks like it's part of the slouchiness? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300248 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 01:18:48 +0000 Angie 300248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love thee midi skirt outfit (outfit #1)!!! As long as you wear heels you are in business, Rae. You added just the right amount of edge to this lady like look. </p> <p>It's very refreshing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300247 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 01:18:38 +0000 lyn* 300247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the proportions in #1 are right My favorite outfit!</p> <p>Of 2 and 3, my favorite is #3 </p> <p>And ... I love your lemon yellow bag very spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-calf-length-skirt-and-gasp-horribly-ill-fitting-boots#post-300246 Sat, 19 Feb 2011 01:16:28 +0000 rae 300246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1- Wore this skirt on Monday, before I saw Angie's post on longer hemlines. All day, I kept nagging myself to remember to hem it. Now I'm confused. Does it look okay? How about the vest with this outfit? It was last seen here, and some suggested I try it with a skirt/dress.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-week-or-its-getting-cold-in-the-office" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....the-office</a></p> <p>2-3- Last seen here, where some thought I should keep my shirttails tucked. Is this version better? I also wouldn't normally have added the scarf... giving it a try.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-matching-mixing-and-fleece-lined-tights-review" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....hts-review</a></p> <p>4-5- Inspired by the khaki thread! The skirt is suede, not khaki material, but the color is what I was after. But oh. my. gosh. was I horrified when I noticed my boots slapping against my calves as I walked! Check out the huge gap... these are pre-YLF, but I don't remember them being this bad. Yikes, shield your eyes! </p>
