wiw - a dress with jeans

..you were warned! I know this isn't to everyone's taste, but I kind of like it...

I am convinced the store had skinny mirrors,

but I decided to keep this jersey dress because if feels so comfy, and I love the colour.

It would be more flattering if it fitted under the bust, like Laura's

WDYT? Would you wear something that added a few pounds?

Mogul dress, Lee Marion jeans, C&A wrist candy

You look great! The only thing I would change maybe, is wear more fitted jeans here, for less volume all over the body, and that's it. I love this look, always have:)

I really like this look, and I think you look great. My only suggestion would be to add some color at your neckline to break up the long line of similar tone created by your hair and dress. I love the pink bracelet (you look great in pink!) - perhaps having some pink at the neckline as necklace or scarf would help.

Thx, Sarah and Renata,

Good advice, I'll try with skinnies and some neck colour (I have the necklace that matches this bracelet).

eta I would never have tried this pre-YLF, but I can see that dress+jeans has potential as a FFBO for me..

Yes, I agree with Renata, fab look, but better without any volume around your calves. How about jeggings from GAP?

I've been thinking about jeggings, Laura - they'd be a comfy alternative to skinnes. Will follow up on this

You look lovely Lynne! Definitely try the suggestions above. You could also add some bright shoes!

I love the concept! I think the proportions would be a little better if the dress was shorter - does that make sense?

I have been wondering about the length, Angie...I'll play with it and see.

I really appreciate your advice and will keep working on this...

My pleasure, Lynne.

This might be a useful guide for length. It's a dress over jeans - and I wear the dress on it's own too:

thx, Angie, I can see that yours hits a few inches higher than this one. I'm 5'4 so the dress is quite probably not meant to come down this far. Watch this space :)...

Lynne, You are so lovely!

I would like to see as Angie suggested the dress a bit shorter and the denim a bit tighter...like jeggings as also suggested!!

I am following this thread

I'm intrigued by the idea of the Gap jeggings with this. I'm trying looks like this myself, so you go first with the jeggings, OK? : )
