Love the skirt. Great outfit:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1338120 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 21:47:11 +0000 Aida 1338120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt looks great on you Una! Since you have proportionally long legs, doing a long torso look won't stumpify you much if at all (this one falls into the not at all category). So it's an interesting way to elongate for you that's less conventional. I like doing this as well (helps balance shoulders, too), but I usually need a wee bit of heel since my legs are shorter than yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337950 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 19:00:55 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1337950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the angle of the hem is elongating. &nbsp;It is also very flattering on you. &nbsp;Who would have thought a skirt you could wear hiking would look that great for regular wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337946 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 18:58:04 +0000 JayS 1337946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! In fact, after your post yesterday, I just happened to find myself in Athleta this morning. And that skirt just happened to come home with me. Skirt twins! I really like the way you've worn it lower..I'll have to try that. I'm short waisted, so I don't usually tuck but this just might work.<br />Btw, the jacket didn't work out. It was perfect in every way, except the length. It hit me at an odd place. The search continues...<br /><b><i>YLF</i></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337885 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:20:19 +0000 Neel 1337885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the long torso look :).

Being a Gap brand and all, you'd think it would be more widely available...</p> <p>I love this skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337870 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 16:56:31 +0000 ClaraT 1337870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look and create a similar look with the Athleta Tee dress by layering a t-shirt or sweater on top. I have the dress&nbsp;in the grey stripe and in black, and it is amazingly versatile for travel. As you note, it is comfortable; it washes well (I hang it to dry) and I&nbsp;practically lived in these during a 10-day trip. The black version can be dressy, and I have even worn it with tights and booties with a sweater on top (San Francisco is cold in the summer). I don't know if I need the skirt as well, but it is a great find and I can attest to the general comfort and practicality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337858 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 16:35:17 +0000 Suz 1337858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And a slip might get all bunchy. But even so, this was a deal -- it looks really good on you. Works perfectly for your style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337853 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 16:30:58 +0000 catgirl 1337853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I need to road-test with tights.&nbsp; I think it might, and also the ruched factor might help disguise any creepage.&nbsp; But I do hate when skirts cling to tights, so it may need a slip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337834 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 16:04:18 +0000 Mo 1337834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! &nbsp;Not like gear at all. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337767 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:29:50 +0000 Sara L. 1337767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirt!&nbsp; I always think of Athleta as athletic gear and it never even occurred to me to look at them for office wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337762 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:19:09 +0000 LACeleste 1337762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great AG ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337752 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:12:23 +0000 Diana 1337752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt is awesome on you. I think it works really well worn low like this because the little flare then hits at a great place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337748 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:10:30 +0000 Beth Ann 1337748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a skirt worn lowt really works on your shape and your style.&nbsp; It looks relaxed and modern that way, and the length -- just touching your knees -- keeps it from being stumpifying.&nbsp; </p> <p>Great find!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337734 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:01:36 +0000 jackiec 1337734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks super comfy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337729 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:59:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1337729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this works really well Una. Curious - do you think this skirt would work with tights for winter? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337726 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:56:51 +0000 texstyle 1337726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it - and you could easily wear it slightly higher too. Your torso seems plenty long to me. Don't you love it when real clothes are that comfortable? Good find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337482 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 03:31:44 +0000 Jaime 1337482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Highlights your great legs, interesting/cool shape, super comfortable, goes with lots of your tops,&nbsp;what could be better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337481 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 03:31:31 +0000 kellygirl 1337481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking long and lean to me! Great skirt. Athleta has some versatile stuff--I bought a tiered asymmetric knit skirt there that is awesome. Not as dressy but comfy enough to hike in. Loved the tulip dress you posted about earlier too. Did you order a petite? I'm tempted to give that one a try. Looking fab, Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-athleta-ruched-skirt#post-1337476 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 03:25:58 +0000 catgirl 1337476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is post work so no shoes - I actually wore my oxblood slip-on oxfords.&nbsp; The skirt is so comfy!&nbsp; I have worn it here with my silk snakeskin buttondown, and done a sort of half-tuck.&nbsp; I'm also wearing the whole thing low, which seems to elongate my torso.&nbsp; For some reason I'm finding this to be a slimming look, although the usual goal is to elongate legs.&nbsp; Am I way off base?</p> <p>I could easily wear this skirt hiking, it's so easy.&nbsp; It's replacing a Target black skirt that has developed the inevitable "cheap jersey" hole.</p> <p>ALL feedback welcome!</p>
