It was funny because earlier in the meeting they actually talked about the monetary value of our time as volunteers, and here they were wasting so much. The organization is wonderful, except for the monthly meeting.</p> <p>Karen, thank you! The Fitflops feel wonderful. I have a narrow heel and medium width in front, and can't wear some shoes, but I love these. They're called Superskates. Zappos has several:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/p/fitflop-superskate-lizard-print-nude-pink/product/8850576/color/311969" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/p/fitflo.....lor/311969</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally/page/2#post-1797208 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 06:09:11 +0000 karen13 1797208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All outfits look great! I think the Jenn dress looks really good, but obviously none of us can assess the feel, just the look. The smaller EF dress is so much better! And the wrap dress is sooooo good!</p> <p>How do the slip on Fit Flops fit in terms of heel slippage and width? I tried some lace ups on at Dillard's on my way out of town last week, and am intrigued. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally/page/2#post-1797170 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 02:43:47 +0000 Sal 1797170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific Jaileen and I also loved the line about not staying - I go to some of these meetings and they do go ON and ON and ON.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally/page/2#post-1797147 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 00:52:25 +0000 Brooklyn 1797147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late here, but I love the skirted leggings look on you. The wrap dress is pretty too. It's a shame that Jenn's dress did not work out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally/page/2#post-1797122 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 23:09:09 +0000 JAileen 1797122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, thanks! I joined YLF when I was going grey. I was afraid of turning into the proverbial little old lady. So I know what you mean about dressing too young or too old. I just want to look like I know what's going on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally/page/2#post-1797090 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 20:52:55 +0000 CocoLion 1797090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirted leggings and wrap dress on you. &nbsp;The skirted leggings look amazing as you've styled them with the denim jacket and sneakers! &nbsp;So on trend but not too young. &nbsp;It's been hard for me to hit that sweet spot. &nbsp;Things I would've worn 4 years ago, suddenly feel too young now. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally/page/2#post-1797083 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 20:26:52 +0000 JAileen 1797083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, maybe yours were too small? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally/page/2#post-1797061 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 18:43:55 +0000 Suz 1797061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also loved your volunteer line. I need to use it myself sometimes...</p> <p><b>Angie, </b>I tried, I really tried. I need to show you a photo. My skirted leggings are, I swear, SHORT, and way too snug, and I just don't like the look on me. <b>JAileen</b> looks great in hers. It just doesn't look the same on me. Maybe it is because I have a long rise? I wonder. Hmmmm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally/page/2#post-1797028 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 17:17:22 +0000 JAileen 1797028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, thanks for chiming in with your experience. I hope I don't gain a lot of weight. I'm wearing jeans today. I hope you find yours!</p> <p>Thirkellgirl, thanks! I considered slip on Fit Flops I have in silver. They look like these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.fitflop.com/en/fitflop-f-pop-skate-in-leather-%7C-official-fitflop-store/883945681042.html?geoip=geoip&#038;gclid=CNTe5J3znNMCFUWXfgodfPYMWQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.fitflop.com/en/fitf.....fgodfPYMWQ</a></p> <p>Re boring meetings: when the agenda is already too long, don't invite an outside guest to talk about investments and the market. Blah blah blah. Worse, when budget considerations are being discussed don't ban questions from the membership, to save time. It looks like you're hiding something. Not that I'm mad or anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1797014 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 17:04:44 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1797014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. Love it. I will wear it, the whole thing. What other shoes would look right with this, gang?</p> <p>Also, I literally LOLed at your line about "I'm a volunteer - you can't make me stay." I have one of those meetings next week and I'm not staying two hours on a Friday afternoon, either. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796990 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 15:54:42 +0000 shiny 1796990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's helpful I'm 5'0 and I've tried the EF leggings in SP and small regular. The small regular fit me very much like they do on JAlleen here, skirt hits about the same on my thigh, except the leg length is longer (i.e., they don't show any ankle and kind of pool around my ankles because they are a few inches too long). </p> <p>The small petite fit better in the leg length-- can work as an ankle length. But the skirt is shorter. Still provides coverage (unlike some other less expensive skirted leggings I've tried). I like them paired with a longer, looser/ tunic/swingy top that reaches a few inches above the hem. I also like them with a long drapey cardigan. For footwear I've done everything from converses to booties to tall boots. And for winter I pop fleece tights under them for added warmth.</p> <p>(I unfortunately lost the small regular's in the move; not sure if I accidentally put them in the donate pile or if they are stashed away somewhere yet to be unpacked).&nbsp;</p> <p>The only problem with the EF skirted leggings is they can become addictive, and because they are stretchy, there's little preventing weight gain!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796984 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 15:23:38 +0000 JAileen 1796984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, it's good hear from you! I'm glad you like the leggings outfit. Ever since you got your dress I've been thinking about it. The fabric is beautiful. Luckily, I'm between sizes, otherwise I'd have to choose between four dresses. I don't need four dresses. One maybe. Anyway, when I get the right sizes I'll have to make a decision - what's most useful in my real life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796979 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 15:15:23 +0000 Jenn 1796979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(deleted - wrong thread)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796978 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 15:11:15 +0000 Jenn 1796978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It makes me giggle to see everyone referring to the this as "the Jenn dress." I think it looks great on you, but I get it with the sizing. There's no stretch in the fabric, and with no zippers or hooks, I wouldn't want to wear something tight across the back, either.</p> <p>I think the skirted leggings outfit looks great on you. Youthful and sporty, but not age-inappropriate. I also like the swing dress, but it's definitely a "look," and you have to be okay with that.&nbsp;</p> <p>The wrap dress is conventionally flattering, so that's a no-brainer,<i> if</i> that's what you're looking for. It will be an easy piece to grab and know you're going to look good, though it's not super fashion-forward or interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796974 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 14:24:55 +0000 JAileen 1796974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elzabeth, the skirt is 16 1/2 inches. It was very much like a skirt for me. In fact, I semi tucked the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796973 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 14:21:10 +0000 Elizabeth P 1796973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Can you measure the length of the skirt on your skirted leggings?&nbsp; I'm 5'6" as well, and I think mine are (is?) shorter.&nbsp; Just curious.&nbsp; I wear mine more as a tunic extender than a skirt.&nbsp; I'd consider another pair if the skirt was longer, as I really do enjoy the concept. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796966 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 14:10:32 +0000 JAileen 1796966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I love the charcoal color, and I've ordered the smaller size. I don't need. all of these dresses, but some fabbers thought this one had potential as a fall/winter dress. And some styling suggestions were very intriguing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796964 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 14:07:08 +0000 Angie 1796964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Janet. That has potential. Do you like the colour, and do you need a size down?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796960 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 14:04:34 +0000 JAileen 1796960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory, thanks! I think EF is still selling these.</p> <p>Elizabeth, thank you! I am sorry about Jenn's dress, too. The fabric is beautiful. The larger size would have worked if my bust was a little larger.</p> <p>Suz, thanks! I'm 5'6", and these leggings are regular. I was concerned about length and if they had been short I wouldn't have bought them. Mine might be too big. But believe me, your rear end is in no way bigger than mine. </p> <p>Angie, here's the mandarin collar dress in the larger size:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ef-mandarin-collar-dress-aka-nightgown" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-nightgown</a></p> <p>Lisa, thank you! I was surprised how good I felt in this outfit. Exactly on the skirt length. I do feel nostalgic about the shoes. Actually about all the shoes from the 70s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796954 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 13:57:58 +0000 Anonymous 1796954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm chiming back in here to say this:</p> <p>regarding the uber success of your Stan Smith/skirted legging look: &nbsp;I may be stepping out of line here, but I was thinking about this last night. You are the embodiment of the exact right age for wearing SS's authentically. &nbsp;Unlike other white leather sneakers, these are the original tennis shoe that was co-opted for casual wear by the country-club set many years ago. This of course trickled down to the street years later. &nbsp;If anyone doesn't look authentic wearing them, it's the younger &nbsp;women who are wearing them for the trend factor only. &nbsp;Along with your denim jacket and leggings outfit - they look as if you have always been wearing them. I love it. &nbsp;I have to find mine and wear them like this!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796951 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 13:39:09 +0000 Angie 1796951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Suz, this might be the fourth time I'm gently encouraging you to try skirted leggings again. They are going to work with the your refreshed look and silver hair. You needed a longer skirt on those leggings).&nbsp;</p> <p>Janet, bring on the mandarin collared dress. <b>I LOVE DRESSES.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796949 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 13:26:59 +0000 Suz 1796949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, my first comment is how come those skirted leggings look so great on you? And how come they are so much <b>LONGER</b> than the version I tried (but intend to send back because skirted leggings are never going to work for me, no how, no way). I am curious. I am short!! Now, I think I did order the petite version. And maybe mine are too small. Although they don't seem too small in the waist or anything. Just...short in the skirt. And yes, snug in the skirt...it clings. They honestly look more like a butt vest on me than like a skirt. Ugh!! Maybe it is something wrong with my butt?&nbsp;</p> <p>My self-referential point is actually this -- they look great on you!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I <b>LOVE Jenn</b>'s dress on you and am sorry it doesn't feel good. In terms of looks -- it's unbelievably great! Really like the sized down swing dress also, and the beautiful wrap dress -- so elegant!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796932 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 12:38:41 +0000 Elizabeth P 1796932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!&nbsp; Love the skirted leggings on you.&nbsp; And the wrap dress.&nbsp; Shame the linen dress didn't work out, it also looks fab in the pics.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796931 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 12:36:41 +0000 Glory 1796931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great. I love the skirted leggings outfit. So much so I am now hunting a pair. I don't find it too juvenile which is something I find myself often concerned with.&nbsp;<br />I like all the dresses so not much help on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796876 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 02:45:16 +0000 JAileen 1796876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Penelope, thank you very much!</p> <p>Maneera, thank you!

I like the length of those.&nbsp;</p> <p>And you rocked the wrap dress. I think it's the most flattering one of all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796847 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 00:24:38 +0000 JAileen 1796847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathleen, that's exactly why I liked it. Usually with wrap dresses, when I lean over you can see my navel. But not with this one.</p> <p>Sarah, thank you so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796844 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 00:16:17 +0000 Anonymous 1796844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all of these--the skirted leggings are fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ef-skirted-leggings-finally#post-1796838 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 00:02:37 +0000 Kathleen M 1796838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks!
