I would love to see a hint of waist definition, though. How about a semi-tuck?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-918407 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:24:14 +0000 Hil 918407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Laura - I really like the idea of a tunic.&nbsp;Whilst I could see how something shorter may work... on my body - not so much! <br /><br />Unfrumped - I think what I like about maxi length is&nbsp;that I feel a&nbsp;little different and avant-garde in skirts and dresses of this length. There is an&nbsp;element of arty that appeals to me. And that&nbsp;they are warm and comfortable... &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917733 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:58:10 +0000 unfrumped 917733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OK I am not sure about this. I think you look good of course but not so much digging the column of skirt to the floor. What are some of the things that resonate for you with this outfit and with maxi skirts? I can see how the streamlined look works and that shorter skirts aren't warm and so on. You do look vibrant in your outfits so that's part of the secret. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917729 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:56:00 +0000 Sara L. 917729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like maxi dresses and skirts and think this one looks great on you.&nbsp; I think one of the reason you don't look swamped in fabric is the slim cut of both the skirt and top.&nbsp; I also love your silver earrings! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917723 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:51:51 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 917723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it a lot too. I may be crazy but I think I'd prefer it with a slightly shorter top (or longer, like a tunic length, but then you'd need to be careful to define the waist). Definitely a great everyday interesting outfit. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917640 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:03:36 +0000 Thistle 917640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the skirt on you, and I feel like it meshes well with your style. Like Liz, I htink this might look really good with a peplum top, but not if it's not "you"!<br /><br />And I LOVE ponte knit!&nbsp; One of the greatest fabrics ever. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917606 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:23:30 +0000 Glory 917606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the skirt - the pattern, colour and fit are very nice. It is a slim fit and so doesn't overwhelm you. I also think it fits your style sense. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917604 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:21:56 +0000 Hil 917604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the positive feedback!</p> <p>Liz - I can see how a peplum may work, but I can't see myself in a peplum - very NOT me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917442 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:25:49 +0000 Liz A. 917442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yep, I agree.&nbsp; If it's working for you, then keep rocking them.&nbsp; I'd love to see this skirt with a peplum top. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917436 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:15:53 +0000 Beth Ann 917436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not generally a maxi lover, unless you're on vacation somewhere, but I think you've really done this look justice!&nbsp; The slimmer silhouette is flattering on you and you seem completely at home in it -- which is a real key component of fab style.&nbsp; Wear and wear again, Hil!&nbsp; You're making some great choices!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917426 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:54:11 +0000 Suz 917426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You have put this together very nicely! I don't think you are swamped because the skirt has a narrow line.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917302 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:47:49 +0000 Anonymous 917302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the profs I work with looks very alike to you, and she rocks this silhouette. It looks great on you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917289 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 10:50:59 +0000 Karie 917289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also love maxi skirts. I think they look very chic and can easily be dressed up or down. Your skirt is very pretty, creates a long and lean silhouette, and looks fab with your flats! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917276 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:44:12 +0000 lyn67 917276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ &nbsp;It's a sleek siloutte on you and &nbsp;I like it. You also styled it great with that top. I can tell about other maxis when I don't like, but if suits your &nbsp;lifestyle and environment,&nbsp;this totally works! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-swamped-or-swell#post-917275 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:34:07 +0000 Hil 917275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another of my weekend purchases - as you can see I am firmly Team Wear!<br /><br />I know some people have an aversion to maxi skirts and dresses. I, however, love them. Not sure if they love me though? <br /><br />So here I am in this black and white maxi skirt in a ponte knit. I have accessorised simply with my big black and white earrings. I also have on a silver pendant and my watch and wedding ring. I decided the day called for ballet flats.<br /><br />Any thoughts?<br /><br />x
