They can be very dainty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up/page/2#post-1298073 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 01:01:36 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1298073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! That skirt with the white shirt... AMAZING! Seriously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up/page/2#post-1297996 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 23:04:35 +0000 Gracie 1297996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane G – Here are the photos, from several angles and the last one, an inside-out detail of the shirring. I lightened the photos for clarity of detail. I hope these are helpful and good luck if you decide to create a similar style. You're so talented I have not doubt it will be fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up/page/2#post-1297905 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 20:54:34 +0000 Anonymous 1297905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowza! I'm not going to read all of your comments, but the skirt looks spectacular. The asymmetry cancels out the long side appearing too long, IMO. great styling, too. You look amazing in those PPL bootcut jeans and tank. The looseness adds such a casual elegance. Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up/page/2#post-1297859 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 20:09:54 +0000 Anonymous 1297859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thanks Gracie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up/page/2#post-1297843 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 19:52:55 +0000 shedev 1297843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You completely rock the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up/page/2#post-1297748 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 18:40:25 +0000 Gracie 1297748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I popped in, and wow! – a lot more replies to my post – thank you for all the skirt outfit love, all your kind compliments and comments.</p> <p>Melinda SF – yes, you're seeing what I was trying to see – these sandals might<br /> be a bit heavy for the length of the skirt, not too bad, but there's<br /> room for improvement and it will be easy to try. I can wear higher heels with no problem, and will try a daintier style, thank you for your keen eye!&nbsp; And yes, the jeans are a bit loose, I go up or down 3 lbs here and there and it<br /> makes a difference on the fit. I like my jeans snug but these ended up<br /> being comfy for a long stretch of sitting/eating.</p> <p>Gigi – The Tee's little knot tail is kind of shortish, so not much to be grabbed by undies which are of the abbreviated kind to begin with because the skirt fabric is not really that substantial and will show lines. Thank you for the suggestion!</p> <p>Angela K – There you are–it was your post!&nbsp; I'm headed over to your post next and see if I can experiment with the suggestions. Thank you!</p> <p>Diane G – Adding the link to the skirt, they only show it in stripes. I'll take some photos of the skirt detail by itself and post them later in case you check back. So glad you like it and I bet you can replicate it easily and beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up/page/2#post-1297718 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 18:09:12 +0000 Anonymous 1297718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*plonk* A-MA-ZING!</p> <p>Would you mind popping a link to the skirt please?

Your styling is perfect. I like the semi-tuck (though I don't know how to make it stay, except maybe to tuck it a little more), and the side you have it on is fine. Back view is--Wow! the other outfits are super, too. No suggestions, just taking notes here. . ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up#post-1297307 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 03:22:28 +0000 Angela K 1297307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gracie, I was trying to figure that tuck out myself and got some great suggestions. Look under my posts. "Can anyone figure this tuck out?" Sorry I don't know how to link to it. :(</p> <p>Hope this helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up#post-1297295 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 03:13:21 +0000 Susie 1297295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in that skirt and top, just stunning! And I Love the black sandals with it- they add a bit of edge and look so fab with your hair. And the jeans outfit is such a great casual look, just a cool vibe and so flattering on your slender frame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up#post-1297286 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 03:03:54 +0000 unfrumped 1297286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My word. That skirt was made for you. You're right, it found you via the forces of the universe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up#post-1297277 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 02:45:50 +0000 MsLuna 1297277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gracie, you look AMAZING! The combination of the blue skirt and top especially! Wow! I really like you way you did the shirt as it balances out the Assymetry! </p> <p>The other two outfits are gorgeous too no frump to be found anywhere, girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up#post-1297275 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 02:42:17 +0000 Gigi 1297275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look stunning in that skirt! I see lots of curves. Very beautiful!</p> <p>I really like the tuck of the top, so I hope you can find a way to make it stay. The only thing I can think of is...can you tuck it into your underwear? (!) I read one time on a blogger's site that she tucks tops into her underwear to make them stay put&nbsp;(she wears control-top undies for this purpose). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up#post-1297258 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 02:23:14 +0000 Melinda SF 1297258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look SMOKING HOT in the blue skirt/white top! I think your jeans are a little baggy, but that could just be a style/comfort choice. &nbsp;your lovely petite frame seems a bit overwhelmed by them.</p> <p>As for frump I think I know how to unpack your concern. What I'm seeing is that&nbsp;the black shoes cut off your leg line with the lower heel. &nbsp;I suggest a neutral shoe with a smaller, less chunky heel. &nbsp;Ideally an even higher heel, though I ache to suggest it since I hate, hate, hate high heels and do not wear them unless forcibly insisted upon. and even then there always Tieks in my purse.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up#post-1297253 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 02:20:21 +0000 Gracie 1297253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all your kind comments and compliments, ladies, I guess I can rock a femme look here and there. I will then forget about the frump image. There is no frump, ther is no frump :)<br /> Suz, yes, I remember that post, I'll start looking for it. I think I would prefer the kind of "pinched/ tied" look, sort of to mirror the ruching on the skirt, to the semi-tuck which is a much softer look. Fully tucking a top will show through too much with this skirt, I even had to wear a short cami. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up#post-1297241 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 02:06:36 +0000 Anonymous 1297241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt! Just wow. Totally agree with everyone else.&nbsp;Have no clue how to get the shirt to stay put, though.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the second outfit a lot too. Kind of has an understated cowgirl feel with the belt buckle and the jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up#post-1297228 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 01:52:29 +0000 Suz 1297228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Frump</b>???? &nbsp;Seriously????</p> <p>What Merwoman said. You look <b>spectacular </b>in that skirt! In fact, I had to run for my fuchsia crash helmet and I am only recovering now.&nbsp;&nbsp;(I love the other outfits, too, by the way.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay, now we've dealt with that, how to get the tee to stay put? I'm not sure. I seem to think that someone else recently posted a thread about something awfully similar and people came up with solutions. But darned if I can think of who that was....</p> <p>If the tee has enough drape you may be able to tuck it in and blouse it over. I've done that with my (less spectacular) tube skirts to good effect (I think). I even belted and tucked fully into my tube skirt once. It worked surprisingly well. I made sure the top wasn't a bumpy lumpy one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-tube-skirt-i-feel-grown-up#post-1297184 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 00:53:50 +0000 Angela K 1297184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! It's amazing how hard we are on ourselves without reason. No frump in sight and what's wrong with that rear view? </p>
