It's perfect for the occasion and beyond. I also believe you to be wearing a sort of belt(less) belted look ;-)</p> <p>The second dress managed to be retro and yet so utterly modern and urban. A perfect choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382517 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:16:25 +0000 Heather 382517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I am in love with your beaded bag! $5?! What a find! As long as your ID, lippy and iPhone can fit--you should be good to go for an afternoon at the jazz fest. :D</p> <p>Both of those dresses look incredible on you. Bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382448 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:58:07 +0000 bella 382448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in these dresses! I can't believe how cheap that bag was, it is so pretty and looks very delicate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382446 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:52:13 +0000 MsMary 382446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both! Super score on both counts, and I don't see any need for alteration on the first one at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382429 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:16:49 +0000 Anonymous 382429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What gems! You look wonderful in both dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382422 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:01:34 +0000 Jonesy 382422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I am not exaggerating when I say that these are my two favorite dresses on you that you've ever posted! They both look smashing: very flattering, unique, effortless, gorgeous, versatile. The first one is such an elegant silhouette on you, and the fabric and detailing are just lovely. I could see you wearing this to the jazz festival, or to lots of other occasions (wedding, out to dinner, or dressed down with the right jacket). The second dress fits you like a dream and looks daytime-y yet super-chic. I could see this being a perfect 4-season dress--it's just adorable. The bag is wonderful, and a steal at $5!</p> <p>I hope you can add this particular boutique into your shopping rotation, because it's obvious that their stuff works beautifully for you. I'm so happy that you had some fun yesterday, and came away with such great loot :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382398 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:10:29 +0000 Debbie 382398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both dresses and the bag is really cute but I understand what you mean about the size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382350 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:05:43 +0000 Queen Mum 382350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nothing like a little retail therapy to help us feel better :-)<br /> Both of these dresses look great on you Maya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382322 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 13:07:56 +0000 Laura 382322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty! I really like the first dress. Gold is fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382314 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 12:59:33 +0000 modgrl 382314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dresses and handbag!! All great choices. I hope you can wear the little handbag to jazzfest. It is so pretty and unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382289 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 12:24:18 +0000 nancylee 382289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the crowd: both dresses look adorable on you. Maybe #1 is just a new silhouette for you and you're just getting used to the look? I wouldn't alter anything.</p> <p>The bag is great. I think women back in the day would just tiptoe out to a party with a hankie and some smelling salts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382284 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 12:13:51 +0000 Anonymous 382284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both dresses, and what a cute little bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382224 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 04:44:27 +0000 Steph 382224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both! I don't think the back of the first dress is a problem. If it drives you crazy, I bet you could get it fixed, but I don't think it's necessary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382222 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 04:42:02 +0000 Anonymous 382222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dresses! I adore them both on you. Love the vintagey vibe of #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382154 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 03:15:11 +0000 marianna 382154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382149 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 03:05:41 +0000 san 382149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love both dresses on you! The bag is beautiful too. You had a successful shopping trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382138 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:41:29 +0000 yellowgirl 382138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both of these dresses on you, Maya! #1 is perfect for the festival and I just plain dig the cut of dress #2 - great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382136 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:38:40 +0000 Rachel 382136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both those dresses are very cute on you. #1 will be lovely for the jazz festival. I don't think there is anything is wrong with the back, the slight balloon is part of the style. The other dress is so cute which is totally a valid reason for buying something : ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382134 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:16:10 +0000 crazyone 382134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya: that's too bad, because their ice cream (and, actually, their cupcakes, too) are out of this world good! How was the House of Cupcakes? It wasn't there when I went to college, but when I went back to Princeton a few months ago I saw that it had opened. If you say it's good maybe I'll check it out when I'm there next...</p> <p>Glad you had the day trip to take your mind off of things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382126 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:05:23 +0000 rae 382126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beauties, all! I don't find anything wrong with the back of dress one. I think it's perfect as is. The second dress is really unique and cool, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382117 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:51:43 +0000 Maya 382117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>C1, we did go to Bent Spoon But I didn't get anything because I already got a cupcake from House of Cupcakes and two frozen strawberry lemonades from another place nearby. That's entirely too much sugar...</p> <p>The boutique is called Rosana. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382112 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:41:59 +0000 Sveta 382112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice dresses, Maya. I also do not see any balooning on the first dress - I think it fits really well and will be perfect for a jazz festival. The second dres is cute - and it was a very good reason for buying it!<br /> It was a great idea to distract yourself this way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382111 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:41:06 +0000 crazyone 382111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Princeton! Princeton! I hope you went to Bent Spoon and had some tasty sorbet or gelato. Which boutique did you go to? </p> <p>Both dresses look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382101 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:17:16 +0000 Kyle 382101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure I see the need for an alteration on the first dress...only if it bothers you. It looks quite jazzy and ideal for the festival. I'm quite taken with the second dress. It has a wonderful shape and great details (especially the nipped in waist), all of which flatter you. I predict this will be a versatile summer workhorse that should work really well with a variety of shoe styles and colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382098 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:14:30 +0000 Jenava 382098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the little bit of volume at the back on #1. I think it emphasizes the waist. I think this was a good purchase. It's gorgeous. #2 is very cute. I think that wide waistband really works well on you and I like the shorter skirt length. The beaded bag would be a fantastic pop of vintage for evening, but as you pointed out it might not carry everything you need for an entire day away from home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382097 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:13:51 +0000 Angie 382097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses are KILLER. Love them! I don't see any unflattering ballooning. </p> <p>#1 is perfect for the Jazz Festival! Oooh! I adore the bag. </p> <p>Glad that you were adequately distracted today. Good job focusing on something else. Proud of you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-dresses#post-382094 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:09:45 +0000 Maya 382094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took a day trip to Princeton with a couple of friends today to get my mind off of stuff, and we stopped in a little boutique that was having a sale. I won't be able to return either of these so hopefully they can work, or at least be made to work...</p> <p>The first is a cream dress with a gold lace overlay and black trim. I thought it was perfect for the jazz festival, my friends loved it, the shop girl loved it, and so I bought it. Now of course doubts are settling in. I didn't realize how much it balloons in the back, probably as a result of my short-waistedness. Is this alterable, or is it not that bad?</p> <p>The second dress was cute and that is really my only reason for buying it.</p> <p>I also got this little beaded bag at the flea market yesterday which should do nicely for the jazz festival, but now I think it's probably too small. No idea how women used to rely on these back in the day. Luckily it was only $5. </p>
