Those ideas make sense.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-hoody-pencil-skirt#post-910936 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 05:18:41 +0000 CocoLion 910936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fantastic hoodie!<br /><br />I don't mind the length of the skirt, but with this outfit, I would go with either a shorter or fitted longer skirt and different footwear. &nbsp;Maybe booties?<br /><br />The current length of the skirt needs a more fitted top with a higher waist, IMO. &nbsp;For example, a button down shirt, a wide belt, and some pumps.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-hoody-pencil-skirt#post-910935 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 05:12:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 910935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rachylou, you can come to Seattle and take sewing classes with me. Or you can fly me to where you are! Oooh, that might be fun!<br /><br />I should point out that Diane G also suggested a pencil skirt with the hoody on my previous post. (Want to give credit where it's due!)<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-hoody-pencil-skirt#post-910931 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 04:59:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 910931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, all. I didn't want to skew the comments, but I will admit that I am not crazy about this outfit, and I'm not sure why. <br /><br />Kellygirl, you may be onto something with the observation about color. I tried on my dark red lace-up pumps with it, but they didn't add that much. I thought, What would Angie do? And I realized I have no citron in my closet--LOL! But seriously, maybe I should try a different skirt with the hoody, like a bright skirt (that I don't have). Fuschia might be fun, huh?<br /><br />Liz, I don't take it the wrong way at all. Are you ready for a good laugh? I actually took 4 inches off the length of this skirt last night before wearing it today! I've had the skirt about 8 or 10 years and used to wear it with sweater twin sets. I am really stumped by skirt lengths and silhouettes; I want to be able to wear midi skirts, but maybe this one is the wrong shape for that length. Or maybe it's just the wrong length to wear with the hoody; maybe I'll try it with other tops before cutting it off more. <br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-hoody-pencil-skirt#post-910506 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:30:34 +0000 pil 910506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Firecracker, this hoodie is awesome!

I love the idea of wearing what you are teaching.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-hoody-pencil-skirt#post-910259 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:21:33 +0000 kellygirl 910259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Simple and elegant. I like how the white tee shows off the lace pattern of the jacket. I crave a little color though--perhaps just a brighter lip? You are amazing me with your sewing skills--you sew well enough to teach! Awesome, Firecracker! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-hoody-pencil-skirt#post-910215 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 15:55:14 +0000 Pink 910215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the skirt, and its a good idea to wear what your making, so they can see what they're going to make. I love the pattern. and it looks so soft!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-hoody-pencil-skirt#post-910208 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 15:52:15 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 910208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Today I'm wearing the lace hoody I posted <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-hoody--my-take-on-the-lace-trend" rel="nofollow">a while back</a> with a pencil skirt, as suggested by Beth Ann. <br />I'm teaching a class on making this skirt tonight, and I like to wear what we're making. It will be a long day, so I'll be back later to check in again.<br /><br />Lace hoody (made by me)<br />Ivory scoop neck long-sleeved tee (Caslon)<br />Pencil skirt, gray with embroidered vines (made by me)<br />Gray Mary Janes (Pikolinos)<br />Necklace, which isn't visible--it's off to one side in the photo--oops (Brighton) <br /><br />Thanks for looking! I always appreciate your ideas.<br />
