Ask Angie and Others: Skirts at Talbots on Sale

I would love to see what you ladies think of these 3 skirts. The first two are on sale and the 3rd (my favorite) is not on sale. I really don't own any skirts and am interested in whether you think these styles would work for me and which if any you would recommend.

I like number 2 for you - it is sportier than the floral. You could do a pencil I think but I really like the swirly one. That pencil would be great with your black blazer though!

I love #1; but I agree that #3 might be a better fit for your current style

I don't see you in the floral, but #2 and #3 are both lovely. I think I slightly prefer #2, it just looks more practical for running around on a warm day and you seem like a very active and energetic person to me. You could wear it with button downs or jackets to get some structure.

#1 looks like old-fashioned curtains, I vote no.

Love #2 and #3!

I agree with the rest. I prefer #3 and #2 and think both would work with the orphan blazer.

I am most drawn to #2 for you, with #3 a close second. I'm not feeling the floral one.

OOOOH! #2! (Going to check it out after I feed my children)

I think #2 would fit more with your smart/casual style of dress. You would certainly look good in #3, so if you thought it would get some wear time, you might consider it also.

I prefer #2 and 3, but find Talbot's sizing and fit a bit hit or miss so don't pin all your hopes if you can't try on in person.

I agree with the others - 2 and 3 look very promising. I hope they fit you well!

I like this one for you, too, Meredith! I can also see Shannon wearing it!

I'd love to see you try a pencil skirt first! It will look fantastic on yer figger!

I love #3 Meredith, although I also think #2 could work. Personally, I'd wear #1 but I know floral isn't everyone's cuppa (as Angie would say).

Beth Ann - yep, I'd wear that one too!

Meredith, I'm no help! Like you, I like all three you found and the one Beth Ann located too! (Yes, I'd absolutely wear #1 if it fell my way! OTOH, I'd never make curtains out of that fabric.)

Claire's right --- a pencil skirt would suit you to a T, given how great you look in a sheath dress! Though I do like the idea of the swingy #2 showing your feminine and your sporty sides together --- with one of those new blouses with the gathered sleeves you got recently?

I like #2 and #3 best too. Do you know what you will pair with the skirt, Meredith?

teeandcee

I adore #2 and agree that it seems more versatile for an OTG lifestye (not sure if that's your lifestyle or not). In fact, I'm going to check it out now.

I usually love florals but this one isn't calling to me for some reason and I just don't like pencil skirts that much so can't really comment on it.

Thanks for the input ladies!
I have ordered #2 from the web and will start there

@Beth Ann
I like that skirt you posted and will give it more consideration!

@Angie
I think the black blazer will work and possibly a denim jacket. White would also be nice. Maybe my black or white short blouse would work also.
