You look as edgy and cool in skirts as trousers. I love these proportions; I almost always tuck into my skirts but you're making me want to try leaving a blouse out.</p> <p>I really love how your second outfit is like a deconstructed, adult version of stereotypical schoolgirl looks. I sometimes resent that some of my favourite styles of clothing are so strongly associated with school girls! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118668 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 09:40:56 +0000 CocoLion 1118668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking at these from my phone. To me you always look great. If one thing struck me though it's that you could wear your skirts shorter. You are young. I know that's not a popular stance here on YLF but I think short skirts are attractive on someone w your build. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118622 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 06:29:27 +0000 Beth Ann 1118622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the long over short proportions, and the combination of feminine and edgy.&nbsp; So glad you had a chance to enjoy being with friends and looking great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118600 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 05:35:51 +0000 Anonymous 1118600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look nice in skirts and great way to show those cool booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118592 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 04:59:14 +0000 Greyscale 1118592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't mind a bit of a schoolgirl look - I figure that the leather skirt and the haircut make it a little edgier, and the lack of punk accessories keeps it classy and adult. I was glad I didn't end up looking like a waitress, though! I tried tucking in the shirt, and that definitely read as waitress, but untucked, I think it's entirely fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118570 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 03:46:34 +0000 Deborah 1118570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing you in skirts! I find skirts challenging and am more attracted to them in summer. I love #1. Nice proportions and an interesting look. #2 does evoke a school girl look which is cool, I love your hair and had certainly noticed the shaved side:). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118559 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 03:15:40 +0000 LACeleste 1118559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in skirts! &nbsp;I love all your looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118540 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 02:51:07 +0000 Gigi 1118540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I'm going to try to copy outfit #2. I think that the length of the shirt is fine. The proportions seem good to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118517 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 02:26:22 +0000 Jaime 1118517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I love both of these. That white blouse is perfect and I love your shoes!&nbsp;But I am not sure&nbsp;I had noticed your hair before&nbsp;either, although I am pretty sure I would have in person. (I think. Unless I kept staring at your shoes) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118511 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 02:18:16 +0000 catgirl 1118511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, look at you.&nbsp; I'm finding skirts and dresses over skinnies and boots&nbsp;to be my winterized look... helps de-femme the whole look.&nbsp; But you look lovely as is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118480 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 01:19:14 +0000 Angie 1118480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH YES. How fun to see you in skirts. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118475 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 01:16:06 +0000 Angie 1118475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is killer, Greyscale. I like the edgier proportions, and neon pink horizontally cutting strap&nbsp;on your leg line. It's fashion forward and fun. The flirty silhouette of the skirt softens the look, and is an excellent juxtaposition against the shaved part of your head. All kind of neutralized with your&nbsp;red specs.&nbsp;Fantastic. No wonder you felt like a million bucks. You look it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also love the easy school-girl proportions of #3. Gorgeous to my eye, with your red curls adding a romantic&nbsp;third piece. A truly&nbsp;marvelous accessory.&nbsp;The Edgy Classic.&nbsp;</p> <p>People can be so unobservant, can't they.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118425 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 00:00:11 +0000 carter 1118425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, shoot. I'd never noticed the shaved part of your hair either! Love the skirts on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skirts#post-1118422 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 23:55:36 +0000 Greyscale 1118422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie asked if I wore skirts, and I do! </p> <p>The first outfit&nbsp;is from a party last weekend. It was my favorite type of party: a house full of dozens of&nbsp;my friends, since the hosts are at the nexus of a lot of social groups. Silk/cotton knit BCBG skirt (bought used), silk BR shirt, and my magic LD Tuttle shoes. I love the pattern on the skirt. It's knit that way, not printed. Jacky pointed out that it looks almost like animal print, but more geometric.</p> <p>The second is from my dance group's annual Christmas party last night, bittersweet because our teacher just retired and we all miss him immensely.&nbsp;I decided to go with something&nbsp;simple: a leather a-line skirt (BCBG, bought used)&nbsp;and white blouse (Everlane), and the same&nbsp;Rachel Comey boots that I was afraid I couldn't wear (solved wonderfully with insoles!). I wished I had a dramatic&nbsp;necklace like this to make it more festive:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jcrew.com/browse/single_product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441836333&amp;FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302024148&amp;nav_type=PRMNAV&amp;bmUID=kbW0dYH">http://www.jcrew.com/browse/si.....FOLDER%3C%</a><br />but I don't.</p> <p>So, skirts. I have trouble with hemlines - my mental image and the reality are not always in sync. What do you think of the&nbsp;proportions on these outfits? The white shirt looks longer than idea though I like the overall effect enough that I decided to wear it.</p> <p>Funny thing - I just redid the almost-shaved side of my head last weekend. When it's an inch long and my hair is down, people hardly notice it. But my dance group is full of&nbsp;older, more traditional Irish people (plus my wonderful flamboyant-but-traditional-Irish teacher!) and they were more shocked than I expected. One woman kept saying in dismay&nbsp;"Why did you do that? Your lovely hair!" and my teacher gave me a big smile, grabbed my head and rubbed the side.&nbsp;I swear it's been like this since June, more or less,&nbsp;and they just hadn't noticed til I put it up! </p>
