Hand wash, in the machine is the way to go I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-skirt-the-first-finally-came#post-1541284 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 23:59:33 +0000 Windchime 1541284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is so pretty and could be styled casually or more dressy. The color of your shirt looks wonderful with it; I'd be interested to see it with one of your other shirts, also.</p> <p>Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-skirt-the-first-finally-came#post-1541280 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 23:51:22 +0000 Word Lily 1541280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm afraid it's suffering by comparison to the long-awaited, much-touted version of itself in my head, like an over-hyped bestselling book.&nbsp;</p> <p>The wrap style that was so alluring to me because I'll be able to wear it for quite a while is also one of my concerns. It's fussy to put on. Wind and curious toddlers are likely to lift the wrap. There's a decent amount of overlap, and it's not like I work with toddlers. And the wind thing, well, I live on the plains, so it's an issue. But probably not much of one; I've probably got a hand that can hold it closed when it's windy and I'm out in it — it's not like I'm likely to wear this on a hike on a blustery day.&nbsp;</p> <p>Just a note: It's quite warm-weather specific, at least in this length. It'll go a ways into the fall for me, but not to really cold weather, even with boots, I don't think.</p> <p>My other concern is possibly an issue of fantasy life versus my actual life. I haven't found a way to get actual workouts into my life, so instead the past 6+ months I've been using my Fitbit to motivate me to get steps in here and there, throughout the day. And it's working! But this means that I get quite sweaty, several times a day, from running in place or from running up and down and up and down the stairs. And while I never planned to dry clean this, I also don't think throwing it in with the load of jeans is smart.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jenn: I haven't actually worn it; I just threw it on so DH could take photos yesterday. So I don't know for sure how I'll feel in it for all day.</p> <p>Unfrumped: I have some turquoise/aqua tops, and that was my initial thought for pairing, but none of the ones that were clean when I was taking the photo were a perfect match. Is that what you meant by lighter color(s)? There's also a white-type color in the bottom layer. I also have a chartreuse that will work I think, if none of the turquoise/teal/aquas end up working.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, E, Smittie, Maneera, Tracey, Diane, Joy, cjh, Ankita, and Deborah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-skirt-the-first-finally-came#post-1541268 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 23:19:33 +0000 Deborah 1541268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so pretty.

I don't care about making my legs look longer than they are, but some skirt lengths just hit at unflattering lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-skirt-the-first-finally-came#post-1541205 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 21:45:04 +0000 E 1541205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length as is, but like Smittie I'm not terribly fussy about skirt lengths (or elongating legs in general), so take that at what it's worth!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-skirt-the-first-finally-came#post-1541135 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 19:31:18 +0000 unfrumped 1541135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that color blue, and blues and burgundy look great on you.<br />I would also try pairing it with something akin to one of the lighter colors in the skirt, for a bit of monochrome look. However, good to be on Team Wear Now, as I&nbsp;sometimes have lofty plans for matching and then&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;lose out on wearing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-skirt-the-first-finally-came#post-1541111 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 17:34:31 +0000 Ankita 1541111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun, colourful outfit...

What do you think? </p>
