WIW: Double Tulip - YouLookFab Forum

My smaller size EF Dark Tulip dress arrived in the mail yesterday and I ripped off the tags to wear it today. The fit is very similar to that of my EF front drape dresses and I can imagine all sorts of possibilities.

Today though I decided to go "double tulip" and am wearing the dress with its cardigan mate. I love this tonal layered look and the fabrics feel fab against the skin.

I added dark tights and chose my gunmetal leather Naot Mary-Jane style shoes. I think I'm going to have to look for other black booties because my arches were killing me when I got home yesterday from my Ara booties Comfortable footwear was a must today.

For accessories I went with my rose gold/black watch and my oversized print clutch.

Would love your feedback on this outfit - layered dark red? fit of the dress? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Cardigan and dress: Eileen Fisher (eBay)
Tights: Hue
Clutch: XOXO (thrifted)
Shoes: Naot

Shannon, the dress is lovely and fits much better than the bigger size from what I can tell. You look terrific; I especially like the pattern of the bag against the red. So fun with your red specs.

Your column of red is lovely with your glasses and lipstick

Jaime

Absolutely stunning color on you Shannon!

My goodness! Your glasses are tulip! I'm a big fan of tonal outfits with texture and especially this tulip version. You look cosy. You are going to be reaching for this outfit often.

Wow that's a lotta red going on but is so fun! I love the big clutch with the ensemble.

I think the dress and cardigan look good together. I can't really tell the fit of the dress with the cardigan over it, but from what I can tell, it looks good.

So glad you found your dress!

Oh you look so gorgeous & *expensive* in this (I meant that in a good way: it's one of my sister's style aspiration words). Love it!

So nice! This is my fantasy outfit, a dress in a great color with a matching cardigan. I haven't been able to find the right one for me but I love the look! Swoon.

Very flattering color on you! There is something so elegantly easy about a dress with topper -- ladylike, but sharp.

Oh you're all so darned sweet

I realize this is indeed a lot of red and might seem a wee bit much to some eyes - I'm ok with that. Definitely NOT an outfit to where if you want to blend in though - lol!

I'll try and get a pic when I get home without the cardigan so y'all can see the dress. No promises though - have a late meeting at work (4:00 - 6:00 p.m.) today.

FWIW I felt absolutely FAB in this today - comfortable but not boring you know?

Karie

Gorgeous dress, and a gorgeous color!
