I feel like I should clarify that the public speaking event I was thinking of wearing this to isn't just a simple presentation (you may take a look at the link provided for more information, but basically it's a mixture of a lively roleplay &amp; talking to teachers directly at stalls/ booths). That's why a suit or usual businesswear feels like it might be too conservative for my needs. Still not sure, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-v-day-floral-midi-bardot-top#post-1897442 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 15:29:34 +0000 Anonymous 1897442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new skirt is great! I think your legs look PLENTY long, even with flats. I think it's appropriate for a presentation, especially if you wear something simple on top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-v-day-floral-midi-bardot-top#post-1897438 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 15:08:07 +0000 SarahD8 1897438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I SUPER love that skirt! The black top looks really nice on you, loving the outfit with the black top and floral skirt. I agree that it’s a weekend/date night look. That said, i might wear the skirt to present, but with a more conservative/authority-projecting top half, and wedges or heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-v-day-floral-midi-bardot-top#post-1897429 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 13:34:07 +0000 Beth Ann 1897429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a bold floral on a black background!&nbsp; Love the open neckline on you, too!</p> <p>I think the floral would work for a presentation in certain environments -- I'm a musician, so a certain dramatic flair is welcome at, say, a music therapy conference!&nbsp; I might wear it with an elegant black sweater, or tailored black jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-v-day-floral-midi-bardot-top#post-1897408 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 08:27:21 +0000 rachylou 1897408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great Valentines outfit! I’d wear the skirt to the office - it seems work appropriate to me. I admit I wouldn’t wear it to present, but it’s my preference to be more severe for such things, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-v-day-floral-midi-bardot-top#post-1897398 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 06:48:36 +0000 Zaeobi 1897398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey everyone, </p> <p>You may remember the thread where I tried some off-the-shoulder tops that were slightly out of my comfort zone (are they 'bardot' style? Not sure I can even call them 'sweetheart' necklines when the necklines are so wide, lol?):<br /> <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweetheart-neckline-bardot-top" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....bardot-top</a></p> <p>I ended up wearing the black top for Valentine's Day &amp; just wanted to share the look with you all (yes I know I'm REALLY behind on my posting, lol!) In my previous post, I wore it with a wide strapped bra that looked like it was part of the top. Here though, I left my shoulders bare. </p> <p>I like the tucked in look for date night &amp; the weekends (wore the striped top with some red shorts &amp; felt very chic!), but the fact that I'm reluctant to wear it without the wide straps much makes me wonder if the 'demure bombshell' moniker really fits me or not. I was really drawn to this skirt, for example, &amp; it's not really 'bombshell' at all:<br /> <a href="https://m.zara.com/us/en/satin-skirt-with-belt-p08174146.html?v1=5000547" rel="nofollow">https://m.zara.com/us/en/satin.....v1=5000547</a></p> <p>I wanted to dip my toe in the midi trend by trying a length that was just slightly below the knee. I'm wearing it with black tights &amp; wedges, but I'm still not sure if the skirt makes my legs look too short/ disproportionate. I've also added my dressing room try-on outfit so you can see what the skirt looks like with bare legs &amp; flats instead. Thoughts?)</p> <p>(PS - I'm also thinking about wearing this skirt to a public speaking event for work - would it be appropriate? Details in the thread below:<br /> <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-for-public-speaking-work" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....aking-work</a> ) </p> <p>Thank you for your help! </p>
