Angie is right about you looking like a little blonde Audrey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue/page/2#post-648532 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:56:01 +0000 Jamie 648532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Suz, please keep this and get it altered! It's too fantastic on you not too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue/page/2#post-648486 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 12:54:19 +0000 lyn67 648486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OHHHHH this is a stunning print, please keep!!!!! LOVE with the black shirt, but you can purchase a cream one later anytime:-) and what about a grey, or red? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue/page/2#post-648462 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 12:28:31 +0000 Suz 648462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you again, everybody. Glad you like it. I hope it won't cost too much to alter it. It might be a bit tricky because it doesn't have a waistband and does have a zipper and a seam at the low hip. We'll see. The lining's not attached all the way, which should help. </p> <p>Deborah, that is such a pretty look you posted! My single reservation about this particular skirt (apart from size) is that it won't work with pure white. I wish I had a cream or ivory button down to wear with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue/page/2#post-648413 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:21:15 +0000 Mona 648413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>absolutely stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648403 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 08:37:00 +0000 Deborah 648403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful and definitely worth the alterations. It made me think of this from Jessica at What I Wore. She repurposed a skirt and this was the finshed result.</p> <p>I agree the skirt is very in keeping with your style and very Audrey like. Just beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648401 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 08:24:06 +0000 harmonica 648401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648399 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 08:20:17 +0000 ManidipaM 648399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, that is GORGEOUS with or without alterations! *And* it works for your saddle chair! Definite Keep and maybe alter (if you think the belt is not something you'd wear always. I love this whole outfit so very much, Suz! Those flats especially. </p> <p>But above all, that skirt... ::sigh!::</p> <p>You know, as a Soft Natural (per Kibbe), this should be especially NOT My Type of Print --- being so boldly angular *and* high-contrast --- but I love it and I LOVE how well you wear it. (You would have *had* to be a Dramatic, wouldn't you, to wear black as spectacularly as that with your fair colouring?)</p> <p>[PS: As to the DYT types, I'm on the same page as Claire --- episode 3 --- but I can't say I have a clue what I am supposed to be! Very confused here so far... Only thing I know for sure I'm not is Type 1 --- airy and fresh and bright and light is definitely not moi!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648376 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 05:04:08 +0000 goldenpig 648376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Squeee! I love the skirt!!!! Color, pattern, how you paired it with the sleeveless top and red flats and specs! I would rip off this look immediately if I could! You must keep and alter it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648353 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 04:04:09 +0000 Ana 648353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is beautiful, Suz! I vote alter. I think it looks great with the belt, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648335 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 03:18:01 +0000 Tanya 648335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is gorgeous and whole outfit stunning.

It's not Marni, but it IS Italian. And probably a knockoff. </p> <p>I love this quote: “Upbeat,” “joyful,” and “artsy” come to mind when describing Marni, the Italian label that has been designed by Consuelo Castiglioni since it was launched in 1994. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648163 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:33:20 +0000 Jjsloane 648163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love this skirt on you. I love this silhouette as well, but can't pull it off usually with my shape. You are built for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648157 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:21:28 +0000 Anonymous 648157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, cute and stylish </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648150 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:16:51 +0000 annagybe 648150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That print reminds me of something Marni would do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648149 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:15:50 +0000 Jem 648149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of my favorite outfits on you!

I agree with others that it is definitely worth having the waist altered. I love it with the bright flats. And your new specs look fabulous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648062 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 19:08:19 +0000 rae 648062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun t o see your specs! The full skirt looks so flirty on you, and the belt is doing its thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648061 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 19:07:32 +0000 Anonymous 648061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so cool about your type! I'm only on day three (need to check my email and watch day 4) but before she ever got started and mentioned "elements" I knew that I knew that I knew that I would be water. So that's type 2. I do have aspects of some of the others, but type 2 is definitely dominant for me. I love these tests. Like you, I'm not on board with every assumption she makes, but I can almost always learn something new! </p> <p>Here's the link for anyone who wants to know what we're talking about:</p> <p><a href="http://dressingyourtruth.com/freecourse-4/" rel="nofollow">http://dressingyourtruth.com/freecourse-4/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirting-the-issue#post-648058 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 18:59:15 +0000 Suz 648058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, thank you, everyone! Angie, I am so flattered that you would compare me to one of my style icons!! I thought of Audrey, too, when I saw the skirt. </p> <p>I have always adored this silhouette, both in general, and on me in particular. But it isn't always easy to find skirts like this. So I was thrilled when I discovered it and couldn't let its being a bit too big get in the way of keeping. So glad I made the right decision! </p> <p>And Claire, you're absolutely right, first that I can straddle the saddle chair in this one (which means it will get worn for my work-at-home days) and ALSO that I'm a dominant Type 3 and this is a Type 3 print! I could not and would not wear such a large, vibrant print up close to my face; it would utterly overwhelm me. But I am taking a tip from you and wearing it on the bottom, where it seems to work just fine. </p> <p>I don't agree with everything Carol Tuttle says or with all her makeovers, but it's a pretty interesting addition to some of the other theories. And did I miss your Kibbe type in that other thread? I know I asked you but can't remember if I ever got a chance to check your answer! In that system I kept coming out a Dramatic Classic; interestingly, some of the recommendations (e.g. angular shapes and some asymmetry in hair, for instance) are very similar for Tuttle's type 3 and my Kibbe type. </p>
