I can't wait to wear it again (probably a sign of a workhorse). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-994629 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:40:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 994629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This skirt is fab on you lyn and I LOVE that it has pockets! You need to wear this one A LOT!!!</p> <p>Will it work with your hot pink blazer too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-994624 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:38:35 +0000 lyn* 994624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Cobaltblue - ACTUALLY I tried it on with my COBALT BLUE blazer!!! Tee hee. I am doing a group today with patients that I know well and it is a relaxed atmosphere, and I don't really want to be too much of an authority today, so I decided not to go with the Power Blazer ;)</p> <p>@ Natalie - I know, isn't the yellow so bright and cheerful?</p> <p>@ Cindy - Thanks! That just means it's versatile, right?</p> <p>@ Sarah - I guess that plain tops in bold colour will have to go on my "TO BUY" list!</p> <p>@ Diane - I think I need to wash my black cardigan, but that's another story...</p> <p>@ Rae - If only they weren't so hard to find!</p> <p>@ Rute - Thanks :)</p> <p>@ Pil - ALL MY JACKETS!!!!! AT ONCE!!!! jk. Not at once. :p</p> <p>@ Claire - Thanks! There is another resident who wears these UBER LONG cardigans, so I am starting to get a poison eye.</p> <p>@ Donna - I think I might try my Cat shirt with this skirt next time, the patterns are quite small (pinky nail sized).</p> <p>@ Helen - WELL, if us Canucks don't shore up the brands, then we will not have any! It is best to have a critical eye sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-994609 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:29:51 +0000 HelenInCanada 994609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty, pretty, pretty. &nbsp;Love your taste, lyn. &nbsp;Also love how Canadian brands always figure into your fab mix. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;Ambassador! &nbsp;The skirt is gorgeous with both the black cardi and yellow, btw. &nbsp;(I'm always amused at your 'unsure'&nbsp;analysis, though.) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-994566 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 22:55:26 +0000 DonnaF 994566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great with either cardi, but I have a slight preference for the yellow.&nbsp; Since you are wearing them open, their length is fine.&nbsp; If you wanted/needed to button, that's where the length would be a problem.&nbsp; </p> <p>In addition to solids, how about trying small prints with the skirt?&nbsp; Maybe prints that would read close to a solid from a distance or in a thumbnail?&nbsp; Sorry, but I'm drawing a blank on your tops so I can't offer you any suggestions from your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-994514 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 21:59:46 +0000 Anonymous 994514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great with the dark blouse and cardi, which is not too long at all. Beautiful skirt!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-994507 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 21:51:18 +0000 pil 994507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pattern and cut of this skirt, Lyn*, and the yellow cardigan is super with it. Your red jacket, pink jacket, denim jacket - the possibilities are endless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-994036 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:27:01 +0000 rute 994036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the skirt is lovely! I prefer with the yellow cardi </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-994031 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:25:13 +0000 rae 994031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! The pop of yellow is great with the dark colors. Yes, some plain tops will make this a workhorse, I think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-994007 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:01:08 +0000 Anonymous 994007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it's a fab skirt on you; a definite workhorse! I have a slight preference for the black cardigan, though both are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-994006 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:01:03 +0000 Sara L. 994006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the yellow cardigan and had the same thought that&nbsp;the two sweaters looked about the same length.&nbsp; I think the skirt will look great with some plain tops in bold colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-993999 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:54:15 +0000 Cindy 993999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt with either cardigan!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-993987 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:42:03 +0000 goldenpig 993987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I love the skirt, especially with the yellow cardigan! So cheery! I agree this skirt could be a great workhorse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-993984 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:41:12 +0000 cobaltblue 993984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the yellow but love the black. I hope we see more of this skirt! Did you try it with a blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wardrobe-workhorse-that-was-slow-out-the-gate#post-993979 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:36:40 +0000 lyn* 993979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once upon a time (in a far away land) when I had bought this skirt I had the intention that it was going to be one of those super easy Wardrobe Workhorses! Instead it has been rather biding its time in my closet: but given all the talk lately about workhorses, I decided to try it out today!</p> <p>I rarely wear white bottoms, which I think has given me pause and hesitation in the past. </p> <p>I thought that the black cardigan was a bit too long, so I went with the yellow (bonus for bright and cheerful!) but now looking at pics, they seem to be about the same length! Oh what a mess. </p> <p>I think this skirt will work with flats too. The challenge seems to be what tops to pair with such a bold pattern! Time to put plain tops on the shopping list, I think!</p> <p>What do you YLFers think? </p> <ul> <li>Cardigan (black): Ricki's</li> <li>Cardigan (yellow): Forever21</li> <li>Blouse: Dorothy Perkins</li> <li>Skirt: Maeve (Anthropologie)</li> <li>Belt: Joe Fresh</li> <li>Earrings: Anthropologie</li> <li>Pumps: Le Chateau</li> <li>Watch: Fossil</li> </ul>
