I am so glad I have styled the skirt right!</p> <p>Angie - *chuckle* you got me! I haven't tapered the skirt just yet but I am surely doing it. I love how the skirt looks tapered (illusioned by the way I am standing!). You are so right in that I should get it tapered (gah! As if I had to say that! You can't be wrong!)</p> <p>Ummlila - lol! Your DD I am sure grew into an independent young girl.^_^</p> <p>Beth Ann - I would never buy anything that is hard to style either! I would have probably looked past this skirt. Lol! Its pale blue and I don't find it attractive! But this one was a gift from DH :). So had to work extra hard to make it work ;)</p> <p>Annagybe - The neckline is a bit too deep for comfort without the cami may be I need a different blue top. Hmmm ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350226 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 15:54:15 +0000 Angie 1350226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. You crack me up. Now the problem child skirt is a favourite. That's brilliant, and should make hubs extra happy.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look beautiful in both outfits. Also, have you tapered the skirt? The way you are standing has given it a lot more structure. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350210 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 15:38:56 +0000 annagybe 1350210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great white skirt. I'd leave off the black camisole, I think it adds too many lines, but that's just me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350200 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 15:22:43 +0000 christieanne 1350200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are fantastic on you. I love neon colors and green/navy is a favorite of mine as well. Looks chic and easy in the combo you put together.&nbsp;<br />That skirt is amazing! Frumpy? NOT.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350174 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:58:13 +0000 Windchime 1350174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two wonderful outfits, Neel! How fun are those wide-leg pants, and your chartreuse fluid top makes the whole outfit look fresh and cool, even if it's actually sweltering. </p> <p>I'm a big fan of blue on blue and delighted along with you that you've worked out how to style that very flattering blue lace skirt.</p> <p>You'll be amazed how much you will be able to get done in a few free hours every day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350157 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:42:05 +0000 Tanya 1350157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are positively glowing in both of those amazing outfits, Neel. I can simply not decide which one I like better. The colors are so fresh in both versions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350126 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:09:28 +0000 Janet 1350126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'd somehow missed your "frumpy" skirt before now, but I cannot see a single smidge of frumpy in either outfit. You look great, especially in the kind of heat you're experiencing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350122 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:06:49 +0000 Beth Ann 1350122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fluid on fluid fit in #1 looks so fresh and confident.&nbsp; Love it!&nbsp; As for #2, I've noticed that some wardrobe items present styling challenges that must be overcome before they can be a well-loved piece.&nbsp; I never deliberately buy items like this, but they do often help me grow in my styling skills, for which I'm grateful.&nbsp; Oh -- and what's not to love about a stretchy, lightweight pencil skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350111 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:54:21 +0000 Elizabeth P 1350111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both of these as well Neel.&nbsp; I am also a huge fan of lime green/ and navy, ironically I don't own any of that green colour!&nbsp; I do eye it, just haven't found anything to buy I guess.&nbsp; Thanks for the reminder :)</p> <p>And I'm happy to hear your DS is adjusting.&nbsp; It's so important that you know they are happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350083 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:19:49 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1350083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very glamorous as usual, Neel. I liked that blue skirt from the start, but I agree that kind of length is hard to get used to (especially if you are short like me.)</p> <p>I'm glad your son is doing well in preschool. I was happy yet slightly offended when my daughter told me on the first day of preschool (12 years ago): "'Mommy, you can drop me off now." Meaning that I should leave her and go home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350080 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:15:23 +0000 celia 1350080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that skirt, why call it frumpy....<br />I love every outfit you showed with it, even if I didn't comment on them.<br />Both are fabulous outfits.<br />ETA: Those hours of freedom are so so sweet. Missed them so much :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350052 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:22:06 +0000 Jaime 1350052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two terrific outfits! I love the wide trousers on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350049 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:19:26 +0000 Thistle 1350049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, fabulous! You look amazing in both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-wide-legs-frumpy-skirt-again#post-1350047 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:18:25 +0000 Neel 1350047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are two outfits from yesterday and today for the school runs. &nbsp;Still peaking 100F here. &nbsp;I want to get enough wear out of my linen clothes before it gets too cold to wear (who am I kidding, we still have plenty of summer left!)</p> <p>1 - I am wearing my navy wide leg linen pants (Next/last season) with my lime green shell top (F&amp;F). &nbsp;This is one of my favorite color combos - navy/chartreuse/lime. &nbsp;I left the top untucked because it looked more flattering that way. &nbsp;For shoes I went with simple black thong type sandals (old/gift) and my black studded tote (Steve Madden/old)&nbsp;for lugging around things.</p> <p>2 - The pale blue skirt (Zara) paired with my blue v-neck tee (Zara). I did a semi tuck this time to show some more of the&nbsp;skirt. &nbsp;The &nbsp;black ankle cuff sandals (H&amp;M) for shoes and an orange clutch (Nine West/old)&nbsp;for some fun pop of color. &nbsp;This skirt is slowly turning into a favorite. &nbsp;Has this ever happened to you?! &nbsp;Something that you initially disliked turned into a favorite? &nbsp;I just wanted this skirt to work .... I&nbsp;am kind of starting to love it now. &nbsp;The only skirt in my closet that has got so many wears! &nbsp;I don't understand o_O&nbsp; I really have to thank you all for being around with me patiently while I experimented :)</p> <p>DS2 has adjusted beautifully and I love seeing him smile and wave goodbye &nbsp;Phew! &nbsp;Next week on, I would have the mornings to myself. &nbsp;Now I am making a list of to-dos .... all that I always wanted to do but couldn't because of the LOs! &nbsp;:) &nbsp;Here's to a few hours of freedom &nbsp;Have a nice day you all!</p> <p>All suggestions for improvement are welcome as always!</p>
