Love it how you styled the lace skirt, not sweet at all, JUST LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791982 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 04:45:14 +0000 Suz 791982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! It's a super holiday outfit! </p> <p>Do you have a red or an emerald green top? I know it's a bit predictable, but either *would* work with the skirt, at least potentially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791956 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 03:37:55 +0000 shiny 791956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, I do think this would work with a denim jacket. I would *love* to pair with a denim shirt but the skirt is very lightweight and tucking in such a shirt will create lumps and bulges. I suppose leaving it untucked might work... hmm, maybe I will try that tomorrow for a tree-trimming party we are going to in the afternoon. </p> <p>Shevia, yeah, I know, what is up with that?? This was an impulse buy and I've had so much use out of it. I would love to find a real leather version but I seem to have better luck with vegan versions; just added another black pleather jacket from H&amp;M with long sleeves, in fact. The nice thing about this F21 cropped jacket is that it's super lightweight-- so perfect for wearing indoors, and fits nicely under outwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791944 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 03:04:07 +0000 Jaime 791944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! I can't believe that is a F21 jacket, although I just thifted a gorgeous F21 blue one, which I think looks great. What is up with them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791872 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 00:19:14 +0000 DonnaF 791872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit, esp. the skirt! The lace is not the same ol', same ol' lace, if you know what I mean. Have you tried it with a denim shirt and that type of thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791861 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 00:06:21 +0000 Amy 791861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791858 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 00:02:06 +0000 Glory 791858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look lovely - not too much pattern mixing at all. I hope you find a few more times to wear that skirt this holiday season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791848 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 23:50:20 +0000 Tina.b 791848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a gorgeous skirt and you styled it perfectly. I love to mix lace with more edgy and casual pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791835 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 23:36:19 +0000 Sara L. 791835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how you styled the lace skirt here! I don't think the leopard looks like too much pattern in this instance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791830 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 23:29:08 +0000 annagybe 791830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fantastic. I may have to copy with my lace skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791817 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:56:15 +0000 shiny 791817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah -- I don't know what it is but I think it is my camera phone (iphone), because every last picture taken with it last night had someone doing the shining eyes, even those I didn't take myself! Usually I try looking down at my shoes so that I can avoid this effect, but these pics were taken right when we got home (late and tipsy). So no, it's not intentional. And "Shiny" is a nickname I acquired ages ago that has stuck. </p> <p>Pil-- the pics aren't quite true to life, but yes, the skirt has similar contrast in person. The underslip is a satin that is subtle, soft pinkish color. It is a bit flesh toned, which is what made me pull it out when I was trying to find something appropriate for burlesque. I seem to recall it was a spring item, not winter. </p> <p>Diana and Atlantia -- I love the ideas of chunky sweater and combat boots. And you made me realize that the reason this felt more "right" last night was that I funked it up, instead of going more feminine/girly-girl.... I guess that is the ticket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791807 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:42:07 +0000 Diana 791807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can't go wrong with leather and lace! Especially for a burlesque show, I think this is just perfect. </p> <p>I like Atlantia's ideas for casualizing it too. And the 90's girl in me loves the idea of lace with combat boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791803 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:28:24 +0000 Atlantia 791803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! There really isn't such a thing as too much at a burlesque show, right? Even if it were a different venue, I think this all works well.<br /> There a part of me that loves the idea of mixing a lace skirt with a old school band tee, just for the juxtaposition fun. You could also debombshell it with a bright chunky sweater.<br /> Glad you fun, even though it was freezing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791800 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:23:09 +0000 pil 791800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too much at all, this looks great! A burlesque show calls for a little more oomph anyway. Just out of curiosity, does the lining of the skirt show more because of the flash or is the pic true to life? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791790 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:14:02 +0000 sarah 791790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look GREAT. That skirt is perfect for the holidays!</p> <p>I have to laugh, Shiny, because your eyes always remind me of the "Shining" when you post - I always have to wonder if the pun is intentional? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holday-outfit-lace-and-leopard#post-791767 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:46:31 +0000 shiny 791767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Went out last night to a festive holiday event, a Christmas-themed burlesque show, along with a big group of my friends, and including another YLF member, Moira, who looked smashing! </p> <p>I was going to wear a simple LBD but at very last moment the outfit felt uninspired (especially knowing Moira was coming!). So I wound up doing a last-minute switcheroo, swapping the black dress for </p> <p>- AT halter black silk cowl neck top<br /> - Lace pencil skirt, which I've had for a long time but is pretty much a closet orphan. </p> <p>... and keeping the rest of the outfit the same: </p> <p>- microfishnets<br /> - Me Too black suede wedge booties<br /> - leopard clutch<br /> - F21 vegan leather moto (worn under a black puffer coat, not shown, and kept on all night long for warmth)</p> <p>I was in a rush so I left, only for it to hit me later in the car "wow that's a lot of pattern going on there.. WHAT was I thinking??" </p> <p>QUESTIONS:</p> <p>1. Is it too over the top?<br /> 2. How else can I wear this skirt, especially in the next few weeks for the holidays? </p> <p>As for the skirt and why it is an orphan: first and foremost, I don't consider myself a lace type. But I bought it on sale (seriously discounted) thinking maybe I could play with it and learn to love it. The only other time I wore it, it twisted funny all night long, and I couldn't wait to take it off. I then stuffed it in storage for a long time, until this year. Since lace is "in" and I have been getting more into skirts lately, I figured I'd give it One. Last. Chance. My weight must've been different (not sure if heavier or thinner), because it didn't twist last night. I'm just not sure how else I would wear it? </p> <p>P.s. We did snap a photo of both Moira and I together but there's a third friend in the pic and she is not a YLF member, so I hesitate to post it. Hopefully Moira will post her own WiW. </p>
