I am, and sometimes when I wear less contrast I feel dumpy too (but I always get the thumbs up from the ladies on here). And I think you don't look dumpy at all, and both outfits are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919867 Wed, 16 May 2018 14:43:14 +0000 Liesbeth 1919867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>anne, I definitely didn't imply the high neck sweater isn't flattering - to me, it works! But I could understand it if the combo of a high neck an a pleated knee length skirt can make you FEEL dumpy even if that's not how it looks. I might personally favour something showing my collar bone in that situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919836 Wed, 16 May 2018 13:49:20 +0000 kellygirl 1919836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great. I actually prefer the lighter top. It looks more cohesive to my eye. It's really a great silhouette on you. I tend to shy away from the fuller skirts but I can see this is very flattering on the IT build! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919834 Wed, 16 May 2018 13:45:50 +0000 Beth Ann 1919834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun skirt!&nbsp; I like both versions quite well, but the high-contrast of the red is dressier and bolder.&nbsp; The white is gentler, more relaxed.&nbsp; It is really hard to see ourselves accurately when we look at clothing on models all the time, particularly with a newer silhouette like a full skirt.&nbsp; You look terrific -- the fabric is full, but my eye knows it's fabric that I'm seeing, and not you!&nbsp; These sorts of skirts look best IRL, when they shimmer and float. It's hard to capture that in a photo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919773 Wed, 16 May 2018 09:36:33 +0000 anne 1919773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Liesbeth, while I was happier in the red, please don't read too much into my facial expressions! Not very good at taking pictures.<br /> I like the idea of a high neck top with a pleated skirt, and high necks are usually good with my neck and small bust. BUT my weight is up right now, and in my middle, and my inspiration was taller, slimmer and younger! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919766 Wed, 16 May 2018 08:24:19 +0000 Liesbeth 1919766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look really nice to me, though you do look happier with the red cardi :). Would you feel better if the cream sweater had a lower neckline? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919763 Wed, 16 May 2018 07:27:17 +0000 anne 1919763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Katerina, I did try it with a scarf this morning, but felt I lost the effect of the high neck. And I have some silver sneakers I could try, though I'm a bit wary of not having a heel!</p> <p>Cardiff girl - thanks - ethereal sounds good!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919761 Wed, 16 May 2018 07:12:01 +0000 Cardiff girl 1919761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don’t look dumpy.l love the skirt with the white top and light shoes,it’s very ethereal looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919751 Wed, 16 May 2018 06:15:31 +0000 Katerina 1919751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is fabulous, a great addition to your wardrobe, I am glad you got it. It suits you beautifully. My favourite styling here is with the red sweater - fresh and playful. But I like it with the white top and the necklace too. How about trying also with other shoes and perhaps a scarf? It might look great with a pair of dressy sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919749 Wed, 16 May 2018 06:02:05 +0000 anne 1919749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy - not yet, but I'll certainly try out your suggestion of a black sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919744 Wed, 16 May 2018 05:30:35 +0000 Anonymous 1919744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your silver pleated skirt makes quite a statement. It is unexpected and playful. I like it subdued by the classic sweater. Have you tried a black sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pleated-skirt-outfits#post-1919738 Wed, 16 May 2018 05:13:44 +0000 anne 1919738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My silver skirt had an outing today and recently.<br /> Not sure about today's outfit with the cream top. I feel a bit dumpy.<br /> Comments and criticism welcome. </p>
