To keep up a professional look, I would gravitate towards a more formal pant/skirt to balance the flowy/slouchy look of the top (cafe capri, palay pant, cafe trouser, hutton trouser...etc, or almost any pencil skirt). Something too slouchy on the bottom could make the look too casual. I also second the jacket option.<br /><a href="http://laurawears.tumblr.com" rel="nofollow">Laura Wears</a>Laura @ A Closet Full of Clothes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10459178349283154706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-30563525106228582822013-09-14T03:09:10.951-04:002013-09-14T03:09:10.951-04:00i have and i've definitely seen others have as...i have and i've definitely seen others have as well. but then again, i live in the bay area, where we experience indian summers.Dmitrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973130842844429295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-63074455451453186882013-09-14T03:05:11.401-04:002013-09-14T03:05:11.401-04:00hi leilasmom, i have the fluted skirt in two diffe...hi leilasmom, i have the fluted skirt in two different outfits <a href="http://petitephd.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/j-crew-fall-2013-reviews/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />i think it's extremely versatile: goes with untucked sweaters, tucked-in blouses, sweater tees, and regular tees too. a camo tee sound adorable.<br /><br />i'm shorter than you but the skirt already hits me above the knee, so i've been wearing it with flats and very short heels. when the temperature gets cooler, i plan on wearing black tights and pumps with it too. <br /><br />anyway, it's really a great piece, isn't it? i think you'll have fun playing around with different styles and seeing what works best for you ;)Dmitrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973130842844429295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-64223522332055388742013-09-13T21:54:00.035-04:002013-09-13T21:54:00.035-04:00Thanks!

It really sharpens any outfit and will keep you warm as temperatures cool down for fall. Add a statement necklace or earrings (but probably not both!) and heels to dress it up more. If you want to do something softer with an elegant shawl or wrap, statement earrings would be better instead of the necklace so your jewelry doesn't get caught in the knit.Goodwill Findshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665121034403429980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-36363483423489829372013-09-13T15:44:35.678-04:002013-09-13T15:44:35.678-04:00I have a very dressy cocktail party type event com...I have a very dressy cocktail party type event coming up in November.

Leilasmom...ebelandi.com-Thanks for the shout-out. <br /><br />Leilasmom - I wore the black with the Kiss Kiss Tee, also tucked in. Unless it's a cropped top, I'd tuck in the blouse, making sure it's not too voluminous. It's a very easy skirt to style. I've worn heels both times I've worn the skirt. I plan on wearing the black with black tights and sleek black flat boots when it gets cooler. audreybellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304551225654245357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-25388586312643252372013-09-13T08:06:12.775-04:002013-09-13T08:06:12.775-04:00Thanks, Katie.

Shades of purple with it really make the richness of the velvet pop! Different plaids with a line of purple in it. I like it with a soft pale pink. A white shirt and distressed denim. It looks great with other jewel tones like emerald green.

Plaid flannels and leather are a nice contrast. Chambray looks great with camel leather. I love the simplicity of a cashmere turtleneck with a leather skirt tucked in or worn out with a skinny belt. Any cardigan or blazer- just treat the skirt as a versatile neutral piece in your wardrobe. You'll find a million ways to style it! katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268753707089857673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-39101670151952688072013-09-12T22:32:32.221-04:002013-09-12T22:32:32.221-04:00I love the gray camo tee!
