Thank you all for weighing in! I love the variety of responses, and what I'm gathering is that I can wear the skirt in different ways, which will appeal (or not) to different people!
Angie, thanks for clarifying -- I guess you are right -- strictly speaking, it's not a yoked skirt because it does not have the horizontal seam at the low hip, but it is stitched down vertically at the hip to the point where a horizontal line would cross in a yoked skirt. So that is called a godet? I am learning something every day -- thank you! Here's the image from the web site -- you can see how they style it there.
Jenni, the "matchstick" skirts were skirts made in a crinkly cotton fabric, even more boho in vibe than this skirt -- which in person actually can skew rather dressy. . You bought them tied in a knot! And then loosened them -- here's an image of one. They were so wrinkly you didn't have to worry about wrinkles!
And yes, they. called those Ecco sandals fisherman sandals and I am so sad they haven't worked out. I tried and tried last year but my feet kept getting little abrasions at the ankle and toe because the leather just would not soften. Does anyone know a solution for that? I liked the style, and the last works well for me, and Eccos are usually a pure win for me!
Angie, you asked about my favourites. I think I liked 24/25, the silver top ones (7/8), 1/2 (with the sweater), 12-14 and 15-16.. The red combo would be a real stretch for me, but we'll see. Alas, those Mary Janes are sitting shoes for me -- too flat for real walking. They are super comfy for short spells but then, ugh.
slimcat, I think you're right -- the skirt is best as the main attraction. I like some of the same ones you do.
bj111, thank you. Some of your faves were some of my faves, and what you say about the skirt's versatility is true, I think. In motion it's really lovely.
Dee, I knew you'd like the stripes. I agree about the proportions of the cream tops -- they seemed best to me, too. And yes, the skirt is maybe a bit on the long side for me, although this is how they show it on the model as well (amazingly enough!)
Star, you hit the nail on the head about the Zara shirt -- going back! You are so right -- too much of a muchness with a much much skirt!
Jonesy, thanks for weighing in! We like some of the same options best. I am going to have to do some thinking about the footwear. If those sandals were more comfy, I'd be set, but alas, not so! Unless I can figure out a way to soften them.
Laurie, thanks! (Another stripes lover.) The shoes in the first set are old Cole Haans that I stockpiled because I love them so much. In the stock image they show the skirt with a jazz shoe, and these low profile oxfords look similar to my eye.
Lisa, thanks for jumping in right away! I think you have a point about the footwear issue, though personally, I like the light oxfords with the skirt, too. But I'll do some thinking about what style of sandal might work if I can't get those D#$(@UD Eccos to soften up! I hear you the skirt being a little bit busy in its own right, too. I think plains are better with it than patterns, overall, which is a bit of a change for me!
Jaime, thank you! This is such good information! I love that each person seems to have a different set of faves.
