You should wear this more often. I like the shirt tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1455249 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 13:10:03 +0000 Anonymous 1455249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks really good, Diana! I like the black leggings and boots with the skirt. It completely changes the vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1455241 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:46:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1455241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is all kinds of fantastic Diana! Love the entire combination. I do prefer the tee tucked as it shows more of that gorgeous skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1455239 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:43:11 +0000 Staysfit 1455239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, and I like the top tucked best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1455128 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 04:16:56 +0000 Anonymous 1455128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really cute with the stripes. I like the top best tucked and not the same length as the cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1455110 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 03:18:15 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1455110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah for warmer temps and getting to wear a skirt! You did a wonderful job with the ensemble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1455105 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 03:12:02 +0000 Jaime 1455105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! The cardigan falls just right to make this work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1455017 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 00:59:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1455017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit on you Diana! My preference is for the shirt tucked. I think the colors provide enough edge to balance out any sweetness you might see in the skirt's style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1454938 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 21:50:09 +0000 Angie 1454938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You toughened up and made the skirt more grown-up quite beautifully with the black on top and bottom, Diana. You clever little thing. And you know I LOVE your All Saints bubble skirt.</p> <p>Rachy, of course you want a checked bubble skirt. I'll wave my magic wand.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1454903 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 20:36:25 +0000 Keturah 1454903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know that it makes you look young. IT does have a a gamine, playful feeling to me. But I wouldn't say it's too young. If you love it, enjoy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1454902 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 20:35:25 +0000 Keturah 1454902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana... love this! It's playful, yet a bit edgy. You're so darling!</p> <p>I had a bubble skirt and puff sleeved&nbsp;dress when I was little. It was&nbsp;royal blue taffeta with black velveteen design all over it. It was the early 90s. My mom found it at a rather expensive department store. and I wore it to my first piano recital. Normally I wouldn't get sentimental about such things. But growing up my family was poor. The dress and piano lessons were quite extravagant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1454889 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 19:11:36 +0000 Diana 1454889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I had a couple of bubble hem dresses in the 80's! (I was around 7 years old, I think...)&nbsp; I'm not sure about them now though - I am always mistaken for a lot younger than I am and I don't think they would help!&nbsp; I do have my allsaints one but that is a lot artier/moodier, obviously.&nbsp; </p> <p>So this skirt has actually been on the chopping block a couple of times, because I'm always a little conflicted about whether it makes me look too young.&nbsp; I rarely wear it without opaque tights or leggings, because it's rather on the short side.&nbsp; (Although a slimmer skirt in this length is fine.)&nbsp; I think this styling makes it more sophisticated though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1454861 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 18:24:23 +0000 rachylou 1454861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cutie. And your hair is looking cute too.</p> <p>p.s. Want that plaid bubble skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1454858 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 18:05:17 +0000 Angie 1454858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOOHOOOO - a skirt. Super cute as always, Diana. I like the black bookending, especially.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hilarious that 55 is warm, isn't it? It's all relative. <br /><b><br /></b>Did you wear bubble skirts back in the '80s? Perhaps you were too young for that. Can see you in the look though.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-look-a-skirt-olive-and-black-ensemble#post-1454855 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:49:01 +0000 Diana 1454855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought it would be a while before I could try out Angie's Olive and Black ensemble from last Friday, because all of my olive items are lighter weight.&nbsp; However, it's so warm today (55!) that I decided I could get away with my olive skirt over leggings and moto boots. (Ha, I should probably have ironed it though!)&nbsp; This is also very exciting because I think the last time I wore a skirt out of the house was in late January, before Snowmageddon started.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I combine olive and black all the time, but I thought the addition of the black and white stripes was brilliant, so I paired the skirt and leggings with a black and white striped tee and black drapy cardigan.&nbsp; I think this skirt can read a little young sometimes, so I was pleasantly surprised at how the graphic stripes and pop of white really seemed to add some sophistication to the outfit.&nbsp; </p> <p>Do you prefer it tucked or untucked?&nbsp; I think I like it tucked with the cardigan, so that's how I'm wearing it right now.&nbsp; Without the cardigan, I prefer untucked.</p> <p>PS - I have managed to do three WIWs in a row this week, but I still haven't managed to remember to charge my real camera.&nbsp; I really should - mirror selfies are not the best.&nbsp; </p> <p>(AT tee, Style&amp;co cardi, BR skirt, Gap leggings, Frye boots) </p>
