Dani, I like the idea of a necklace, or maybe even a scarf to add something vertical.<br /> GG, I am still undecided on the boots. I wear a lot of grey, black, white and blue. Grey boots fall right into the palette, but brown ones look more interesting... I am just not sure if they would work with cobalt blue, for example. Or with my dark green trench - would it be too much of a hunting look? I will have to start a new thread on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84288 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 02:01:01 +0000 Dani 84288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to say you look great. I would sport the dress without hose if I had your legs (and I'm your age). Just be careful bending over to gather the little ones </p> <p>Have you thought about adding a long necklace with the last look (shirt under the sheath)? That might add a little interest. Definitely a keeper for you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84287 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 01:54:39 +0000 greenglove 84287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meant to comment earlier, love the dress especially over jeans! I think the cognac boots are great on you. Does the grey work better with your colors? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84143 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:57:39 +0000 yublocka 84143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Mariaane, I love this dress! It is so vesratile too!! I think it would look good with a coloured LS tee underneath too. Please do post more pics!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84131 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 05:36:53 +0000 marianne 84131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I don't believe I've seen them on anyone IRL. Actually I don't see many people wearing hose around here in general.<br /> Hmm that hunt will be very long and full of struggle </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84129 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 05:26:10 +0000 Angie 84129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For you Marianne, of course :0)</p> <p>Your hunt for the perfect biker jacket has just begun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84128 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 05:20:28 +0000 marianne 84128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Biker jacket, ahem... I only have a white cotton one. I haven't looked into them very much in spite of all the buzz on YLF. Angie, maybe you could wear your microfishnets to the next YLF event, I would love to see them in action! Please?<br /> Sihaya, thank you, you're making me blush! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84121 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 04:45:51 +0000 Sihaya 84121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne - I have nothing new to add but when I looked at your pictures I went "Zow - now that's an outfit that's suited to show up your great body!" And the style is wonderful too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84120 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 04:45:09 +0000 Angie 84120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Naf was actually wearing semi - opaques! You could do that too – with a trench FOR SURE. It’s me that would wear the fishnets (and I just got lace patterned fishnets that I’m very excited about!) </p> <p>Biker jacket will also work. Ahem. Do you have a biker jacket yet my dear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84117 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 04:41:00 +0000 marianne 84117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Tanya!<br /> Ooh I bet Naf looked great! I guess I should look into microfishnets Angie, would a traditional trench coat work with these boots and hose? Or is it better with a jacket or another short layer? That's the confusing part about these boots for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84115 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 04:29:08 +0000 Tanya 84115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loove the dress on you Marianne! While it looks great layered, I think you can pull it on it's own too with your gorgeous legs. The boots are fab too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84107 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 04:11:07 +0000 Angie 84107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got it! I was hoping it was an Autumn weight. That way, you’ll have more use for it. </p> <p>You should try those new boots and hose with the frock next. I had naf in that look last week and she looked amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84102 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 03:55:27 +0000 marianne 84102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, it's polyester/rayon blend and looks sort of like twill - which is why I brought up the quality. I could probably do better in that aspect, but not sure where to look, esp. for something that is casual enough. It's fall weight and it's lined, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84099 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 03:39:25 +0000 Angie 84099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! I *knew* you'd love the boots. I have mine too. Perfect MOTG. Very fab :0)</p> <p>What's the fabric of the sheath, Marianne? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84088 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 02:55:35 +0000 marianne 84088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the feedback and for layering suggestions! I guess if it gets YLF approval, I'll keep it, even though I may not wear it on its own and just treat it as a tunic. The length is well above the knee, and I just don't feel like it's age-appropriate without leg coverage, but I will try tights and leggings. I do like the layering possibilities with it! I would love to get a better quality sheath at some point... when my lifestyle cooperates. </p> <p>Angie, the boots are VERY comfy. Thank you so much for the recommendation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84069 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 01:19:43 +0000 fathenry 84069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is too short at all. I think it looks great. Perhaps you should try the layered look with opaque tights and tall boots? I think it is a little too much with jeans but love the layered look with tights. Also, don't forget about your short sleeve and 3/4 length shirts in soft, non-woven fabrics . My favorite way to layer this way is with a 3/4 sleeve striped tee-shirt under the structured black sheath. Dresses up the tee, dresses down the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84062 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:30:08 +0000 Laura 84062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The more you layered up the dress, the more I liked it! It seems really versatile. You wear a sheath soooooo well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84049 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 23:58:08 +0000 Lee Hovey 84049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's unreasonable short, esp. since you have those gorgeous skinny legs. </p> <p>But if you aren't confortable then it won't look good! I do like it with the skinnies and boots... truth be told I am not entirely on board with the look in general, though you are selling me on it here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84047 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 23:55:29 +0000 Angie 84047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello fellow high-necked sheath twin! </p> <p>This frock is getting a KILLER rating from me all round! You've got the gams, girlfriend. I guess my above the knee dresses are just a little longer: </p> <p><a href="http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr132/SJBD-2008/100_0463.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i477.photobucket.com/al.....0_0463.jpg</a></p> <p>It’s perfect over jeans and will be perfect with leggings, Marianne. I don’t mind it so short on a super hot day. LOVE the new boots! Aren’t they comfy like slippers? I like the shirt layered underneath the frock too. Wooohooo! You look so Euro. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84030 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:54:59 +0000 marianne 84030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks San and Maya, I see what you mean about the shirt. Perhaps I could try it with a l/s tee. I wanted to see what it would look like layered. It is pretty short, esp. when I sit down, but I haven't thought about leggings, I'll give them a shot.<br /> I wanted to experiment with working this style of dress into my daily wardrobe, and it was pretty cheap, so it would be low risk.</p> <p>I really like these boots and I think they will be very versatile - I hope everyone else who ordered them shares my feelings :). I am still trying to decide between this color and the grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84026 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:26:50 +0000 Maya 84026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a little short, but it kind of reminds me of that cobalt dress Angie once blogged about:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/05/13/summer-2009-update-cobalt-tunic-dress/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/05/.....nic-dress/</a></p> <p>It looks super with jeans and I think you could also try it with leggings and clams.</p> <p>Even if you can't wear it on its own, it might be worth keeping because it looks great on you. </p> <p>I'm not sure how I like the shirt layered under it though. Something about the neckline of the dress doesn't work for me. It doesn't seem scooped enough. Maybe a long sleeve shirt without a collar. Love it with skinnies and boots though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84024 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:12:31 +0000 Anonymous 84024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the skinnies and flats alot. It fits you great.<br /> I am undecided if the shirt under it is just to much.<br /> I also don't know about the boots with jeans and a dress this length. That one is for a more trained eye than mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-on-this-dress#post-84004 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:15:22 +0000 marianne 84004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this Esprit dress hoping it would work both by itself and over skinnies, but I think it's too short to be worn on its own. I'll probably return it but I just wanted to check if I am headed in the right direction. What do you think? Please ignore the shoes.<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7589.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7589.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7590.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7590.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7592.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7592.jpg</a></p> <p>I also took a picture with a layer underneath and YLF boots:<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7595.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7595.jpg</a><br /> Thanks! </p>
