Loved it, perfect on you!

Now THIS is a keeper!
I agree, you just know.

I love, love, love, love it on you!

Gorgeous!!

Joy - I wish I could like your comment - so fun!!

Oh, JOY! I am grinning broadly!

Suz, this is so fabulous that these pieces can be worn as a dress and in so many other ways with items you already have. It is *really* hard to pick a favorite!

Wonderfully versatile

Cheered me up Joy. Awesome outfits Suz.

Joy - so fun!

Suz - waving at my skirt twin. This is a wildcard for me because 1. I don’t wear skirts, 2. I don’t wear pleated skirts and 3. I don’t wear midi skirts.

But ... this one just works! Fabric is gorgeous! I’ve worn it for Mother’s Day brunch, Mother’s Day Tea and Father’s Day at our school, kindie graduation and just for out and about. It is SO easy to wear.

Kerry, I know, right? It just feels easy! Is it the pockets or the fabric or the length or the cut....I'm not sure what. (Maybe it's the elastic waist, LOL.)

What tops have you worn it with? Would love to see your styling ideas. Although obviously, I don't lack for options myself.

Thanks everyone for all the love for this. Funny, isn't it? I considered buying it at full price but it was an awful lot and while I was dithering it sold out, so that was that -- but I did get the top, and then couldn't wear it for a long time because our weather was too cold. The minute I put it on and looked in the mirror, I thought -- holy moly, I wish I had the skirt, too!

Joy, I am still chuckling about your poem. I read it to Mr. Suz and it made his night.

Now Suz... THIS.
So so so perfect for you. And what brilliant styling, esp when you start to go “off-traditional”. I think the striped top is my fav.

Word of wisdom: make sure you don’t wash one piece a lot more than the other. It would be such a shame to have the dress option taken away by fading.

And Joy... so awesome!

I love it as a set and 6,13 and 15 (if I remember correctly) especially. Excellent choice!

Jaw droppingly beautiful. What a great print and whenever you can pair something so easily with such good results, you know it is meant to be. Plus the dress look... plonk. Super winning. When Joy adds poetry, well, there's nothing more to be said.

STUNNING! Every outfit is a winner! I am a fan of Liberty prints and the one you have is particularly beautiful. The feel of the fabric and the styles of the top and skirt are also wonderful. You don’t need anyone’s approval, but I am happy to add my cheers to this gorgeous set!

What a beautiful versatile skirt ! You look fab in all the outfits. I especially like # 6. And I agree that Joy wins the prize!

Love it with all the combinations what a great find for you.

WHAT JOY (and everyone else) SAID! I don`t know if I`m more envious of your looks or Joy`s poetic ability!

What a wonderful set, Suz! LOVE. All combinations are great and the way it is a "dress" is stunning.

Joy - so fun

I am still getting used to the tucked in-look on myself and I used to wear it all the time in younger years. Glad it's coming back. A beautiful skirt to play with in so many different gorgeous ways. I like the skirt paired with its matching top and then adding a topper (jean jacket, etc) as you illustrate here. That creates a long line of pattern which lengthens the body, esp if worn with a slight heel. A feminine body-scape that is just simply lovely to behold.

WOW! The most versatile skirt EVER. YLF!

Wow, I love this! And Joy's poem of course.

You got your Fake Dress version of that other dress that was similar in terms of print but a bit off!

Looks wonderful worn together and of course I'm a sucker for the versatility you get with separates. Seems like there's no end to how these can couple up with the rest of your wardrobe.

Enjoy!

Suz, you are the pattern mixer extraordinaire! You have fully integrated these pieces into your wardrobe in the most nimble way ... brava!

And Joy, brava to you too. It’s wonderful to have a YLF poet-in-residence.

Zowie! The pieces look so great on you, and I love how you've styled them in so many ways! Great versatility!

Oh my goodness, what gorgeous stylings!

I am a total sucker for Liberty prints and this looks so gorgeous on you. You've styled these pieces enough ways already to know they are unique but versatile.

Suz, this looks just gorgeous on you. Would you mind if I asked what size you went with? I think we are nearly size twins and the reviews on the website say it runs big; am wondering if the one small size that's left will fit me. Do you think the waistband could be altered to add more elastic if needed?
Despite my long standing avoidance of skirts I've been feeling the pull of the midi trend and have been eyeing this skirt as a wild card. Your post has nearly sealed the deal!

knowmymethods, I'll PM you.

Thanks, everyone, for the lovely compliments. I know I will really enjoy this piece!

Super gorgeous! I love it as a “dress” and with the solid tops and the striped top the best. It looks great dressed up or down.
