You had me at peridot velvet top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-nye-first-ylf-wiw-ever#post-1126936 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 18:41:45 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1126936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone! You make me feel so welcome! &lt;3 </p> <p>@April...I am glad to be of assistance! Goodness yes, I think shorter skirts can be totally appropriate at any age. To me it's all about proportion and yes, what you wear them with. </p> <p>Because I'm petite, I find that my best lengths are like this one or just at the knee, and ankle/maxi (which I find lengthening, not shortening, depending on skirt volume--lower volume is better on me--and footwear). I'm sure ideal skirt lengths may vary for ladies of other heights etc., but I am definitely no fan of age-based style dictates in any case and glad to see that many YLFers feel similarly. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-nye-first-ylf-wiw-ever#post-1126722 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 14:10:00 +0000 April 1126722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really glad you posted this, AG. &nbsp;We're about the same age and I have had serious doubts about wearing skirts several inches above the knee. &nbsp;Your photo has helped me to see that with coverage from tights and boots, it doesn't look inappropriate, even if you're over...25. &nbsp;;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-nye-first-ylf-wiw-ever#post-1126719 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 14:06:13 +0000 viva 1126719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! Great outfit - the color of that top is beautiful with your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-nye-first-ylf-wiw-ever#post-1126708 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 13:22:14 +0000 Anonymous 1126708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! I love the jewelry and the drape of the neckline, and you obviously have a great idea for finding the good stuff at thrift stores.</p> <p>My husband also thinks there's no such thing as too Star Trekky! </p> <p>Edit: Great EYE, not great "idea". I think the worst autocorrect mistakes are the ones that sort of make sense even though they're not quite what you meant to say,&nbsp;so you only catch them much later. Oy.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-nye-first-ylf-wiw-ever#post-1126690 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 12:36:38 +0000 Aquamarine 1126690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!

Hey all. Thought I would join in and start WIWing for 2014...</p> <p>We went to a casual party at the home of some friends, which didn't call for high glam. Much of my wardrobe has been thrifted over the years, and this ensemble was no exception. Items: </p> <ul> <li>Thrifted peridot velvet top tagged "hb" (maybe Harvé Benard?)</li> <li>Thrifted gray skirt (The Limited)</li> <li>Gray tights (no tag)</li> <li>Miz Mooz Oakley boots in "khaki" (olive green really)</li> <li>Jewelry: old faceted crystal sphere earrings, unmarked vintage flea-marketed aurora borealis and gray rhinestone necklace, my everyday silver chain bracelets (all flea-marketed), vintage flea-market A/B crystal bead bracelet.</li> </ul> <p>Top and skirt I've had since the early 2000s. The jewelry I picked up in the late 90s to early 2000s. When I say I shop my closet, I am true to my word. Heh. Boots and tights are pretty new though. </p> <p>Now, I am no expert at selfie pix...got to remember to pull up the darn camera strap. But at least my photo looks like a Dutch Master (with frame and darkness behind, heh) next to my husband's shadowy one...</p> <p>When I modeled the outfit for the husband, I said, "Maybe this is a little too Star-Trekky?"</p> <p>And he sez, "There's no such thing as 'too Star-Trekky.'" Hahaha! Okay then...he's so cute. &lt;3</p>
