Skirt Flirt: Ulla Popken Contrasting Inset Skirt
I normally would picture something like this as a bit shorter – above the knee – but there’s some old standby about hemlines extending in the face of a recession. Still, I like the inset, and pose this question: what kind of shoes would you wear with it? You can find more skirts on... »
How would you wear these?
On the one hand, baggy. On the other hand, fitted. Both are reasonable over an ankle-length skirt. Assume that both come in different colors – all we’re looking at is the cuts, here. Which would you wear with this skirt, and why? If you choose the baggy top, what else/how else might you wear... »
Some New Years outfit ideas
I’m really liking the asymmetric collar on this sweater, giving it an element of visual surprise. The skirt? Wider in the middle for people who, like me, are wider in the middle. I dig. For a similar reason I like this skirt with a pattern at the hem, and I could also... »
Torrid with tulle
Torrid picks – these are great divergences from recent Torrid fare, though well within the bounds of Torrid styles. And only a Torrid designer could make tulle truly punk. Find more Torrid goods on Fat Chic search – and not just on Torrid website! Share on Facebook »
New Bohemian
The bohemian look will be around as long as someone remembers the 60s fondly, whether or not they a)actually remember them or b)were around to see the people remembering them remember them. The style back then – whether Jacqueline Kennedy or clean hippy – was pretty good from the neck down. However, the loose... »
Lovely Igigi
I love Igigi, and I’m thrilled to see how much celebrity attention they’ve gotten in the past year. So I’m going to toss in again, and point to a few of their designs – lovely, figure flattering choices with a shop by shape option that are very fashion forward and still in touch with... »
Kiyonna for Winter
I’ve been a little iffy about Kiyonna’s choices of late, just because it seemed like a total repetition of last season and they send out “new!” emails without actually having new stuff just a tad too frequently. So I’m pleased and really like these bottoms choices, especially the skirt. Flattering cuts,... »
Outfit #3
This is an absolute “what the hell do I do with this?” skirt. It’s plaid in non-plaid colors, and it’s definitely from the era where kindergarten teachers wore skirts rather than hazmat suits. That’s not to say it’s bad, that’s just to say that you have two choices with this: monochromatic or selective clashing.... »
Sexy Fall Picks
When I was a teenager, my mother would cluck and tell me to put on something that wasn’t so off the shoulder/short and tell me I wasn’t yet old enough to be sexy. She burst out laughing when, after college, I appeared in something that was definitely revealing in nature (probably a corset top)... »
2008 Fall Talbot’s
I tend to skip over Talbot’s for two reasons: I’m a size 28 and they stop at size 24, and the way they present their stores seems so old-ladyish. Throw in a complete absence of plus size models, and in general, you get a pass from me. But every so often I’ll see some... »
