I had a look at them again and it's a pass, don't think those two pieces would work as a coordinate. Onwards and forward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2174300 Wed, 24 Feb 2021 02:34:47 +0000 Janet 2174300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m another vote for these two pieces belonging to different seasons, but I’m really picky about that. I think the color of that top in a different style and fabrication could be nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2174243 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 21:17:13 +0000 Anonymous 2174243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did see this when you initially posted. &nbsp;I my honest opinion, no, they don't work together. &nbsp;And you've already got great suggestions above for some changes to make !&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2174208 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 18:35:45 +0000 The Cat 2174208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz said. The style of the blouse says "Fall/Winter", and the high neck would probably feel uncomfortable in summer. The skirt exudes "Spring/Summer". Nice colour combo, however. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2174054 Mon, 22 Feb 2021 18:50:08 +0000 Minaminu 2174054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks All! Lots to think about... And the more I think on it, the less keen I am to purchase them. I guess it's best to put them on hold and see what to do next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2173940 Mon, 22 Feb 2021 05:54:30 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2173940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MYbe sneakers.

L.K. Bennett has a similar skirt paired with the Saigon White Ruched Sleeve T. Something similar in navy would also work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2173855 Sun, 21 Feb 2021 20:35:05 +0000 nemosmom 2173855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think of color as a seasonal thing (I wear dark autumn colors year 'round), but fabric and shape would matter more to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2173849 Sun, 21 Feb 2021 20:05:07 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2173849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On Brexit &amp; budgets—I just “found” Pourmoi last fall.

Very Summery, and a more Summery top would look better with it. The shade of burgundy is fine though. Feel free to wear that year round. As <b>Suz</b> said, it's more a fabric thing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2173839 Sun, 21 Feb 2021 19:13:44 +0000 Minaminu 2173839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>and I just realised that I have a similar top in my holding zone as it was a bit tight...&nbsp; oh dear!!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2173837 Sun, 21 Feb 2021 19:05:22 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2173837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear those colors all summer long. It sure looks like the shades would go together well, but of course you can’t know until you get them together. I like both those pieces. The top looks dressier to me than the skirt, but again, putting them together is the real way to find out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2173835 Sun, 21 Feb 2021 19:00:33 +0000 Minaminu 2173835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, good point! the material of the top is silk, skirt is cotton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2173833 Sun, 21 Feb 2021 18:56:51 +0000 Suz 2173833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, it would depend on fabrication. It looks like the skirt is cotton and unlined, so primarily for warm summer wear. The long sleeves/ high collar of the blouse make it look more "wintery" in feeling, but in terms of colour and style it could be fun and pretty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-it-work#post-2173832 Sun, 21 Feb 2021 18:50:55 +0000 Minaminu 2173832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi all, <br />Hope you are all well and in good health! I haven't bought any pieces in January and February (so far), partly because of the impact of the new import taxes thanks to Brexit... but also because I couldn't see anything that would&nbsp; make my heart skip.</p> <p>Today I stumbled across this top and skirt... could they work as an ensemble? I can see the skirt working with a white blouse (which I already have) and I think it could work with the burgundy top, at least this is what I am telling myself as I love its shape.</p> <p>what do you think? too dark for spring and summer? not cohesive enough?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
