Sew i knit skirt finished

I've done the first project of sew i knit but I'm not quite satisfy with the outcome, the skirt look very girlie to me. It seem kind of funny on me and not quite suits my age. Feel very disappointed, guess I might do another skirt to compensate the earlier one. This time I'll do a A-Line skirt instead of a flare one, no idea what kind of fabric I'll be using, it might depend on what fabrics that I got in my stash.

This picture show the skirt which is half way done, without the lace and ribbon and the bottom picture is the finished skirt with lace and ribbon attached to the skirt on it's layer. I prefer the first one, and if I really done feel comfortable with the lace and ribbon, I might take out the embellishment and go without them.
