I love that! Nice with the red necklace too. Great outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-599216 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:12:32 +0000 mscooks 599216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt on you, think a slightly more fitted top would definitely pull this look together... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-599207 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:02:46 +0000 cheryl 599207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great as is but i would also like to see it with red shoes bookend the necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-599082 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 03:43:14 +0000 Beth Ann 599082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt, Deborah! Actually the whole look is flowy and kind of "arty," which is a plus in my book -- you look like a painter or a famous novelist on a book tour! What about a vest layered over a flowy blouse? I love the idea of the cropped blazer a la Rae (was that Aida's idea?). I don't think it needs "fixing," but it's as important to feel fab at the end of a long day as at the first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-599027 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:41:13 +0000 Meredith1953 599027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah,<br /> Not everyone can wear a striped skirt like that but you can! Yes it is distinctive and won't work with every top but it looks lovely so style it "six ways to sundays" and you will have enough to please you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-599026 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:40:11 +0000 Deborah 599026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for checking this out! I think my problem is more how I feel than how it looks. The top is woven and I am wondering if I might feel more 'dressy' in a different fabric like a silk or a satin? </p> <p>Christyg and Modgrl thanks for your suggestions re shoes. Will see what else will work. </p> <p>Una, I may have missed Rae post but will go and check it out now.. thanks.</p> <p>Jonesy, you have no idea. I have been wanting to buy a yellow blouse but sadly yellow doesn't love me like I love it. DH was very gentle and kind but did confirm my suspicions. It wasn't pretty! lol</p> <p>I am pretty sure I know how I want to style this skirt for winter (it's quite a transeasonal peice) but will have to keep working styling ideas as suggested for the warmer months.</p> <p>Thanks so much...have a lovely day xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-599023 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:34:13 +0000 Jonesy 599023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! I adore the slim-fit, longer skirt on you! Perfect with the voluminous top too!</p> <p>I really doubt that there was any "horror" to witness :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598998 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:04:49 +0000 Jaime 598998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt with the booties. I think the top looks great in the picture, but maybe you see something in real life that we don't? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598909 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:43:42 +0000 Aida 598909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it as is! I think for cooler weather you may just need a more structured and fitted top half, instead of something billowy and free like this (which makes me think of summer when paired with the skirt). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598835 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:05:07 +0000 catgirl 598835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with the shoes - I'm a big fan of a high vamp! You also may like it with a cropped fitted jacket, the way Rae had styled her dress and moto the other day... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598805 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:09:33 +0000 annagybe 598805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and think it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598800 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:03:10 +0000 Victoria 598800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look with the booties! As Celia said, its very efforlessly chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598797 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:58:29 +0000 modgrl 598797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really pretty combination on you. The shoes are very nice but I would probably do a nude heel here.... that's my shortie issue here though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598795 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:56:31 +0000 CocoLion 598795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cool and chic! I like the de-bomshelling of the pencil skirt, everything works here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598731 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:27:47 +0000 christy 598731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I think the shoes are giving me pause here. What would a sleeker shoe with a lower vamp do for how you feel in this? I really like the skirt and agree that boots and a jacket would be great. What about an oversized white button up shirt with a low slung belt? Completely different vibe but might be fun. Then again, I'm terrible at visualizing outfits in my head! I have to physically put items together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598601 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:58:58 +0000 celia 598601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how much more cool can you get?<br /> love this effortless chic look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598585 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:17:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 598585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a very chic outfit Deborah. The skirt is beautiful and works perfectly with your footwear and the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598519 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:29:51 +0000 Deborah 598519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fruitful I think it's the top not the bottom that bothers me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598517 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:28:34 +0000 Fruitful 598517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The whole look is very smart to me! Love the skirt, the shooties, the necklace, angled hemline blouse, and white watch - it's cool, not daggy! Does the skirt stretch during the day, is that why you feel worse in it later? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598507 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:04:38 +0000 rute 598507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! so european chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-stripes#post-598506 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:58:07 +0000 Deborah 598506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Evening Ladies:)</p> <p>This is what I wore today.</p> <p>Red &amp; Black striped midi skirt</p> <p>Black woven blouse</p> <p>Black sandal/shooties</p> <p>I have worn this combination once before and I feel good in the morning but by the end of the day this just feels very 'daggy' and I don't feel 'smart'.</p> <p>I am thinking as the weather cools down, boots and a shrunken jacket might smarten this skirt up.</p> <p>What do you think? Any styling suggestions would be much appreciated. I love the skirt but for some reason I am struggling with it.</p> <p>As an aside, I thought I had two new things to show you tonight but between taking photos and getting DH's opinion I decided to spare you the horror and am returning both tomorrow lol.</p> <p>Thanks for looking.</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
