  Beautiful! The cross cross ankle strap flats work with the skirt amazingly well. Also, your hair looks really good put up in the back!

  I have a secret love for tulle skirts so it is hard for me to be objective.  If anyone could pull this off, YOU COULD.  I really think it suits your style. If you have places to wear this skirt, I would keep it.  If it would become a closet orphan because it lacked the proper venue then return it.  Let us know what you decide.  

• UmmLila (Lisa) replied 8 years ago

  I think it works because the subtle color palette doesn't take the tulle too far over the top.

• AndiB replied 8 years ago

  I kinda love it!

• kkards replied 8 years ago

  WOW.....i've been in love with the skirt since angie had it in a weekly round up early in spring, but i couldn't figure out how i'd make it work IRL, but this is perfect!

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  You have made the skirt look amazing. Your little girl needs one too so you can have a mother-daughter outfit :)

• Suz replied 8 years ago

  Ahhh...Natalie, the skirt is lovely on you! It's great with those flats -- what an inspired pairing. So so pretty. If it doesn't break the bank and makes you happy, I say KEEP! 

  Can you size up one size in the sweater? I am thinking it might drape a bit better. I do love the pairing with the skirt (even though in my world, it is seasonally confused, LOL -- but SF weather is a lot different from mine, I know.) 

• Peri replied 8 years ago

  I love it too! Both looks are great, so if you have places and occasions to wear something like this it is definitely a keep. 

• Word Lily replied 8 years ago

  The skirt is so fun! I think the color of the sweater works well, too. 

• Angie replied 8 years ago

  I LOVE IT. Especially with the sneaks. 

  Waving at my sweater twin. Good to see you again, Natalie. 

• Elly replied 8 years ago

  I like the skirt-- not sure if I love the sweater over it-- I think the tulle adds to midsection bumps-- which is fine when you can tell for sure it is tulle. 

• ma replied 8 years ago

  I really love the skirt!! And I love how you've styled it. I like the fitted sweater, too! I say keep!!

• deb replied 8 years ago

  Natalie, this skirt is perfect for you. I vote keep.

• Vivian replied 8 years ago

  So fun, looks great.......go for it.

  All flowy and ready to catch eyes and turning heads.  The ankle strap flats are lovely and dreamy with this outfit and the sneakers could be so fun for certain occasions. Not sure the necklace is "the one" for this sweater and skirt. You might try the next size up in that sweater and see if you like the line better.  But you don't want too roomy, just a tad more give in the chest area, I'm seeing.  Maybe a necklace that comes down a bit more than the choker necklace you are currently pairing with it.  These are just candid feels for this combination.  I've seen these kinds of little skirts for children in TJMax actually.  That could be fun . . . 

• Cerinda replied 8 years ago

  A vote for your Black Swan.  Would you consider pushing the look even further?

• Elle replied 8 years ago

  Love love love the skirt and the color palate on you. I like the sweater too but think the skirt needs a softer top - possibly a flowy crop top or one with a welt ( if you have such a thing).  Both shoe combinations work well.  You have a great sense of style. 

• SandyG replied 8 years ago

  Very nice combo, my only insight is a slouchier top minus the necklace would really allow the skirt to be the star. Want!

• Jenn replied 8 years ago

  I love it with the Skechers, and agree with those who have suggested an even slouchier sweater. This skirt cries out for the oversized/chunky top. Really adore your style.

• donnat replied 8 years ago

  I love it! You can totally rock that skirt!

• MsMary replied 8 years ago

  Super love both versions! Keep!

• unfrumped replied 8 years ago

  I'd keep the skirt and make occasions to wear it.
  Love it with both shoes.  The ballet shoes are fab for a more dressy occasion. With the sneakers I'd especially wear a boxier top, can be luxurious fabrication or more juxtaposed such as upscale sweatshirt-type. Even something graphic. Also some kind of bootie in place of sneaks, for more options for casual. I was enthralled with an ensemble last fall of organza skirt and mohair (but too scratchy) sweater and chunky footwear. Wish I had someplace to go in something like that!
  I think this could be something you don't necessarily wear lots of times each year but a few times a year for several years to come, and when you do, it's fabulous.

• Ornella replied 8 years ago

  Natalie, this might easily be my favourite outfit you ever posted. I love everything about it, gentle colours, solids, ankle strap and hair (great do!) and vote keep and wear A LOT. Divine!

• shedev replied 8 years ago

  cute, I'd size up the top.

• replied 8 years ago

  Pretty with edge: you can totally pull this off. Super styling in both looks. I love the slightly ballerina look of the ankle strap flats. I think the colour palette is great on you. Sometimes kids know best ;)

• Vildy replied 8 years ago

  wow, I didn't know what to expect after your intro - I remember Bjork's dead swan.  But you look great in this!  It's so romantic. And it does look like a dancer off duty. 

• Jaime replied 8 years ago

  Ha your comparison pictures made me laugh! You look perfectly lovely in the skirt and neither black swan nor Bjork!

• Firecracker (Sharan) replied 8 years ago

  I like the skirt on you a lot, and I like it with the sweater and both versions. The color palette totally works for you. I vote keep on both items!
  Just another idea--for cooler weather perhaps--add a black moto jacket over outfit 2? And black booties to anchor the look?

• Maneera replied 8 years ago

  Keep and wear ALOT! I can't decide which I like better - the White Swan or the Black Swan! Both are super pretty!

• Colette replied 8 years ago

  Very fun! I vote keep the skirt. I love the soft colors. Make sure you twirl at least once.

• Beth Ann replied 8 years ago

  Looks great, Natalie!  I think I might remove the necklace in #2 --- just let the arm party shine.  You could easily find an evening topper for this skirt and turn it into a formal wear look.  It would also pair nicely with a leather jacket.

• LucyRose replied 8 years ago

  This is so cool. I love the first look with the pointy shoes. 

• jackiec replied 8 years ago

  Keep keep keep! Gorgeous and perfect for you. I hope you wear it a lot! Sooo versatile :)!

  OMG I love this skirt.  How fab on you.  I like how you have styled it and I think it would also look great with a slouchy sweater. 

  I loved the Black Swan.

• goldenpig replied 8 years ago

  Thanks everyone! I think I will see if I can exchange the grey sweater for a size up. I initially was going to get the M, but the SA said she thought the S was a better fit. I find that the SAs often recommend a closer fit as opposed to the relaxed slouchy style popular here on YLF. I feel like that happens to me a lot when I ask for advice when trying things on in store.

  Also looking forward to trying the tulle skirt with some slouchier sweaters or moto jackets. This could be fun...adult dress-up!

• replied 8 years ago

  It sounds like you are keeping the white skirt.  I'm really glad because I love it on you.  It makes me wonder if it would work for me as well.  

• CocoLion replied 8 years ago

  Love the skirt on you and I can see the inspiration theme at work.  Hope you and family are doing well.

• Sara L. replied 8 years ago

  Ooh, I love that skirt!  I totally want one now but I have no place to wear one and I'm determined not to buy for a fantasy lifestyle (a bad habit I'm trying to break).  I think the sneakers outfit needs a more casual top and accessories but that's my only critism.  These are great looks.

• AviaMariah replied 8 years ago

  I'm envisioning a black motto jacket and tough boots! I love your renditions too. How about a jean jackets with the sneaks?

• catgirl replied 8 years ago

  Late to the party - I have a black tulle skirt like this and wear it with camo for a UWP contrast, when I can find an occasion!  So I say keep!

• Shelly replied 8 years ago

  Hi
  I just adore the skirt with the ballet flats. The skirt is just so pretty but like someone said above, I am not sure I like the heaviness of the sweater. The sweater is lovely but it kind of looks a little bulky through your mid-section.
   
  I don't know if you have any longer necklaces but a nice silver pendant might work?

  Anyway I would definitely keep the skirt!

• Marley replied 8 years ago

  The all-time most favorite outfit I've seen you post Natalie!  You look so pretty in the first rendition and edgy and dangerous (haha!) in the second!  Love them both!!!!

• Suzanne (ambergreen) replied 8 years ago

  I wasn't sure what I would see when clicking on this, but what a pleasant result--you do pull this off. (It's so funny when mentally trying things on that work on others--boy, would this so not work on me! Go you!) And I agree with Laurinda--keep this lovely piece for yourself. :)
