The skirt will slide higher up on my waist if I put it there, no pinning needed... that might make the length more manageable. I'll give that a try, and it's staying in my closet now. :)</p> <p>shevia, thank you! &nbsp;It's funny that you mention that; over my life, I've had a lot of comments on my posture (usually followed by asking if I'm a dancer or if I went to military school... I've been doing one form of dance or another since I was three, and my dad and grandfathers were military). I didn't realize it came through in pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6#post-1812624 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 02:52:14 +0000 Bijou 1812624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All lovely! I love the dressy looks of 2 and 3 - but #5 is killer, you look fantastic in this look. I love the jacket, I can see why it is a favourite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6#post-1812623 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 02:49:30 +0000 Jaime 1812623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these. I think the grey top offsets the ladylike vibe of the skirt in question and the outfit works beautifully. Your posture, as befits a dancer, is your best accessory (well along with your hair)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6#post-1812620 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 02:40:15 +0000 Brooklyn 1812620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits. I like 2, 4 and 5 the best. No 2 is really fab. Re the A-line skirt: I love it and would wear it in a heartbeat. Different footwear will make it tougher as Angie suggests. Personally I find an A-line skirt easier to wear when it's a little shorter than yours - just above the knee. You could try pinning it up to see if you like it better that way. But you must keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6#post-1812605 Sat, 03 Jun 2017 22:31:37 +0000 Dianna 1812605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 2 and 3. The skirt in 4 is beautiful. Looking forward to see how you style it with Angie's suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6#post-1812596 Sat, 03 Jun 2017 20:55:09 +0000 Anonymous 1812596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 2 and 3. I love how you but 2 together. It still looks feminine on you. I hope the shoes in 3 stretch out enough to be able to be comfortable for longer. They are fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6#post-1812590 Sat, 03 Jun 2017 20:28:06 +0000 Nomad 1812590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cat, thank you! I've felt a little self-conscious in the vest and scarf combo because it's a bit out of the norm, but I do love the combination. &nbsp;I appreciate the vote of confidence, and I'll wear with more assurance now that it has your and Angie's seal of approval. &nbsp;I also love hats (especially fedoras) but haven't worked up the guts to actually wear them out and about; maybe that's the next step. ;)</p> <p>delurked, you pinpointed it exactly! &nbsp;"Sweet" is a great word for this skirt (which is black, cranberry, light gray, and just slightly off-white), and you just helped me clarify why it wasn't gelling for me. &nbsp;I think you and Angie just moved it to the keep pile.</p> <p>Angie, thank you! &nbsp;Toughening that skirt up with a moto and boots is exactly what it needs... I'd never even considered trying to balance it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6#post-1812582 Sat, 03 Jun 2017 18:58:51 +0000 Angie 1812582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look Killer Elegant in #2 and #3.&nbsp;</p> <p>Wear the skirt in #4 with a moto and boots.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6#post-1812542 Sat, 03 Jun 2017 14:10:03 +0000 Anonymous 1812542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love Monday and Friday. It's a little tough to tell colors online, but my first thought on Thursday is to toughen up what you're wearing with a rather "sweet" skirt. Like the jacket and shoes from Friday with it (or I'd like with the boots from Tuesday, maybe even the vest from it too), I think would feel more you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6#post-1812541 Sat, 03 Jun 2017 14:08:26 +0000 The Cat 1812541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourites are the Tuesday and Wednesday looks. Love that waistcoat &amp; scarf. You look GORGEOUS wearing these items, so don't hesitate about wearing them more often. I also like the blue skirt, which does certainly not look 12 years old. Perfect length. And the shoes are elegant and adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6#post-1812537 Sat, 03 Jun 2017 13:59:10 +0000 Nomad 1812537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another week down!</p> <p>1. Monday: This was a holiday, and these aren't in my capsule, but this was what I wore while teaching dance to a friend (I'm working on a teacher certification and needed 10 hours of practice teaching, and my friend volunteered to be my guinea pig).</p> <p>2. &nbsp;Tuesday: I'm trying to wear all the unused items in my capsule, so this white button-down and waistcoat finally got a wear. I like a little bit of a playful menswear vibe, so I added a skinny scarf "tie."</p> <p>3. &nbsp;Wednesday: This pencil skirt saw the light of day for the first time since purchase, ~12 years or so ago. &nbsp;I like --but don't love-- it, and it'll probably remain in my wardrobe as long as I have the matching jacket, since it's handy to have suit options on occasion. I also just bought these shoes, because I realized some of my things weren't getting worn because I didn't have shoes that worked well with them, so this pair filled an important hole. I don't care much about trends, but these happen to hit a few anyway (block heel, ankle tie, blushy/nude). They were comfortable enough until the afternoon, when they started rubbing the tops of my outer toes... hopefully they'll get better with some breaking in.</p> <p>4. &nbsp;Thursday: Ugh, this skirt. I keep going back and forth on whether to keep it or not. It's not my preferred style (a little too unstructured, patterned, and... ladylike, maybe?... for my preference), and I have trouble finding tops for it (the white is a little off-white and looks dingy with white shirts). This gray shirt is the only top in my capsule that worked. But... every time I put it on, I love the swishy weight and movement. So... still undecided.</p> <p>5. &nbsp;Friday: I probably wear this jacket too much, but I don't care. It's super versatile and I love it. &nbsp;I was regretting wearing heels on a Friday when a friend wanted to take a walk around lunch time, but it was too perfect a day to pass up, so I walked anyway and just dealt with slightly achy feet for a while. </p>
