I like a cardi myself but I tend to go for waist length ones buttoned up or really long boyfriend styles. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-earth-day-need-advice-on-skirtcardi#post-915081 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 09:28:15 +0000 lyn67 915081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the skirt, proportions and the colours of the outfit-YLF but OTW like Sveta said! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-earth-day-need-advice-on-skirtcardi#post-914987 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 03:01:18 +0000 Debora 914987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How did I miss Earth Day? I used to always know about it when the kids were in school. Such a pretty skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-earth-day-need-advice-on-skirtcardi#post-914983 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 02:53:54 +0000 sarah 914983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Part of the issue might be that the top and cardi hit at exactly the same point - I find that having one longer than the other helps the look.<br /><br />Love the pattern in the skirt! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-earth-day-need-advice-on-skirtcardi#post-914907 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 01:27:59 +0000 Suz 914907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Sveta said. The skirt has a really pretty pattern!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-earth-day-need-advice-on-skirtcardi#post-914906 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 01:26:14 +0000 Sveta 914906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I almost don't wear cardigan&nbsp; - they are comfy but I always feel frumpy I them.<br />One thing I noticed for myself - if I do wear a cardigan I have to pair it with a shirt or a blouse and not with the knit top. It is like too many knit items together increase frump level for me: I need some structure to my outfits to feel good.<br />So if you don't feel this outfit try to replace the top with a shirt or a cardigan with a jacket.<br />The skirt looks fine to me - like the pattern! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-earth-day-need-advice-on-skirtcardi#post-914795 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:45:59 +0000 Freckles 914795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Have you tried buttoning the cardi? &nbsp;Just one or two buttons in the middle?<br /><br />Are all your cardi's the same sleeve length? &nbsp;The scrunched sleeves still seem to be going strong. &nbsp;Would that update a full sleeve length cardi for you?<br /><br />I'm a cardi lover so a major load of bias here...<br /><br />I like the skirt. &nbsp;I think you could really make it play with a lot of things. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-earth-day-need-advice-on-skirtcardi#post-914726 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 22:30:55 +0000 Carla 914726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today was Earth Day so I decided to wear green and brown. The skirt is about 10 years old and wool. I got it for $10 on a sale rack at the start of summer many years ago. The mod pattern really spoke to me at the time. It is hard to match with tops, so I tend to wear it as an 'outfit' with either a brown short sleeved sweater, or with a green tank top. Because we still have snow and cold temps, I needed an extra layer for warmth.</p> <p>When looking at the pictures, I find the look kind of shlumpy. Is it the cardi ? Should I be rethinking this garment and does it have a place in my closet? I like the comfort factor ( cotton) and the 3/4 length sleeves, but maybe it doesn't do anything for my shape? (I own 3 in the same style, different colours).</p> <p>Also, is the skirt past it's 'best before' date? What I though was a flippy A-line might actually be stretched out fabric.</p> <p>Thanks for looking, and please advise...time to give up the cardis? Time to dispatch the skirt? </p>
