I also like how the sporty touches add some nice contrast with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-frumpy-skirt-goes-chic#post-1346934 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 12:42:30 +0000 Anonymous 1346934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I think it is JFE and a little edgy too. It works for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-frumpy-skirt-goes-chic#post-1346915 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 11:54:29 +0000 Neel 1346915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle* Shevia - that's not the panty line! Just my tummy pooch creating a shadow effect with the lining I tried to set it right when taking pics ... But it just creates that lines when I walk I guess.</p> <p>ETA: It does look like pantylines though! Lol! Oh boy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-frumpy-skirt-goes-chic#post-1346912 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 11:50:52 +0000 Jaime 1346912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great - I love black and white with light blue. I hope you don't mind me mentioning that the&nbsp;second picture is more revealing of panty lines than I would prefer - not sure that is not just the camera. Just something to keep in mind when you repeat - as you should! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-frumpy-skirt-goes-chic#post-1346884 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 11:19:03 +0000 Neel 1346884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your comments Ms K, Columbine and Ingunn.</p> <p>Ingunn - The skirt is very high waisted. combine that with my short waist! When I tried to semi tuck ... It looked like I had no torso. Just very long legs attached to my chest </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-frumpy-skirt-goes-chic#post-1346861 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 08:38:40 +0000 Ingunn 1346861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt! It's a fun an modern look with the sneakers. Did you try to semi-tuck the tee? I think that could work well, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-frumpy-skirt-goes-chic#post-1346849 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 05:53:54 +0000 columbine(erin) 1346849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top almost works like a crop top. I like the proportions and the fun edge you gave the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-frumpy-skirt-goes-chic#post-1346845 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 05:38:26 +0000 MsLuna 1346845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this look, Neel! You made this skirt look a bit more edgy! I think the proportions are good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-frumpy-skirt-goes-chic#post-1346842 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 05:33:21 +0000 Neel 1346842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok ... I am still not very sure if this works ... but DH thought I looked chic &nbsp;So, I went out the door with a spring in my step &nbsp;After all, if you feel good, you look good right? &nbsp;That's what I told myself ;)</p> <p>I wore this for the school run this morning. &nbsp;I am wearing a pale blue crochet skirt (Zara) with an oversized linen graphic&nbsp;tee (Mango). &nbsp;My slip on sneaks (Steve Madden) and striped clutch (old/no brand) finished the outfit. &nbsp;I tied the tee on the waist (a bit lower than my natural waist) for some structure and to reign in the volume. &nbsp;I am not sure if I achieved a conventionally flattering look (more like a box look because of the fluid on fluid outfit)&nbsp;.... but I think I got the proportions right this time (Thanks Dianthus for pointing out the half lined and half unlined skirt issue!!) and hopefully it is also JFE? &nbsp;I have posted a flattering and not so flattering pose for you all to analyze.</p> <p>Please feel free to advice. &nbsp;Because DH is obviously biased about the skirt (since he bought it and likes it!) &nbsp;I am on the fence about the look (not sure if I got the tied tee look right)&nbsp;but I was still happy because of the little compliment that DH gave.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Today DS2 was a sweetheart! &nbsp;He waved goodbye (with a small sad face!) but it was definitely a better day! &nbsp;Woohoo! &nbsp;Rushing now to pick up DS2! &nbsp;Have a good day you all x </p>
