Twist skirt - still cool or so over?

I have a black wannabe Alexander Wang twist skirt that I'm debating on. Like these http://www.pinterest.com/searc.....st%20skirt
Is this style au currant or so last year? I'm just curious. I think I could still style it to be my version of a pencil skirt.

I don't think it's ultra fashionable or dated. Just in style and current. I voted yay.

Is that una's skirt? I think they're still current and I think I've seen similar in stores lately

Still very current to my eye. Although I do think one has to be careful about which one exactly. Some do just look like a ladies' room mishap.

Er, I just wore mine last night and posted a pic. Au courant or not, I love it.

I got one along with the jumpsuit in my F21 order. It's pretty bodycon, but then, so is the VC tube skirt and I feel fab in that. I'll have to go see your WIW Una . . .

Saw Una's post this morning, and decided that I want one, too!

Marmee, F21 has one for under $20. Nice modal fabric. I was impressed. http://www.forever21.com/Produ.....38;Variant=

Post a pic, Mo! Your other one looked great - I imagine this will too.

I think I had pulled it down too much - it made it tight (in the back view mostly). But here goes . . .

I should have let the fabric just naturally ride to where it wanted to settle. Or, I could size up - but the waistband is 27" on this, so medium is likely too big.

I dunno - I bet sizing up could work because F21 doesn't have that much difference in size increments, at least for me. It's like a size up is a HALF size up. Rae has a similar Free People skirt that fits like this. Mine is a bit longer (or I'm a bit shorter).

Yeah, it is snug for sure. Maybe I will size up. Does F21 charge shipping for exchanges I wonder?

No idea, we have one here so I've never ordered online. Do you think it will stretch out?

not sure . . . I could wear it around the house tomorrow to test. It's a lot more snug than my VC striped tube skirt. I thought it might be the result of the twist styling, how it's sewn to make it twist.

I like it but it seems a titch snug. Workable but if you are able to try a medium I would. F21 sizes drive me nuts.

I think the style is still current and like the one you've shown. I'm interested to see how the larger size fits.
