I like the bolder necklace with the dress--I think it likes simple chunky things.<br />Your post is a great reminder to try on, try on. I am really bad about eyeing something and saying, nah! In one sense it saves time, but I too would have missed some cool items if I'd stuck in my rut. YLF is also helpful because the photos help us see, whoa, I didn't know THAT &nbsp;was what you need to get THIS look ! and try things. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-896395 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:05:29 +0000 catgirl 896395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Le fab! &nbsp;That blue is your color - both just stunning. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-896380 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:52:15 +0000 hedgiehog 896380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Parsley, both pieces are great! It's so nice to buy something on vacation. Makes me have happy memories whenever I wear it. :)<div>Good on you for trying something that you might not have. And, I LOVE your hair. Both my DDs have curls/waves and I think they're lovely.&nbsp;</div> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-896358 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:29:08 +0000 rachylou 896358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Stunning good buys!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-896218 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 16:19:27 +0000 Beth Ann 896218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Excellent choices!&nbsp; Such beautiful shapes and fabrics!<br /><br />I think you could treat #2 as a tunic - perhaps belted over skinnies to dress it down?&nbsp; Or perhaps with bright shoes or hose for accent?&nbsp; Your styling of it is pure classic elegance.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-896186 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:39:47 +0000 Angie 896186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KILLER x2 <br /><br />How fun to get treasures abroad!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-896054 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:39:54 +0000 Parsley 896054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I appreciate all your comments!<br /><br />Deborah, I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that sometimes curls can look RATE. As much as I admire RATE looks on others I'm compulsive enough that I'm not&nbsp;comfortable unless I'm&nbsp;pretty polished.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-896032 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:20:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 896032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895993 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 12:46:57 +0000 Jjsloane 895993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both look like winners to me. I want that blouse! You chose wisely and looks like there are many options for styling.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895986 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 12:39:55 +0000 annaj 895986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fabulous choices, and I love your hair too! Both the shirt and the dress would look great with all sorts of different accessories - great basics, that have a really fun element!! Gorgeous!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895979 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 12:19:23 +0000 Lauren 895979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG you are so adorable and stylish! I LOVE the blue shirt and think it would look amazing with any tighter-fitting bottom. Think shorts, pencil skirts, cropped pants, etc. I would also love to see it tucked into a high-waisted item. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895973 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 11:51:12 +0000 Mochi 895973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Parsley, the blouse is just amazing. I don't have an adjective to do it justice, actually. And I really love the dress on you, too. I would style these pieces just as you have. They are architecturally interesting, so you don't want to clutter them up.&nbsp;<br /><br />Your hair looks fantastic, too. It's very modern and on-trend. If it ain't broke, don't fix! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895955 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:14:25 +0000 Anonymous 895955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hair looks great curly, and those pieces look wonderful on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895919 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 07:14:19 +0000 Lantana 895919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both excellent choices. The dress could also go very casual with layers, a big poets scarf, boots- it looks wonderfully versatile. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895917 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 07:09:43 +0000 anne 895917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The shirt and dress are just lovely, and so much better than the online version look!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895896 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 05:51:46 +0000 Deborah 895896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both are stunning! &nbsp;The grey marle dress is just beautiful. &nbsp;And the colour and cut of the blouse is pefect. &nbsp;I really like your hair curly and straight &nbsp;When it's curly, the curls form really well and you still look 'groomed'. &nbsp;Some curly hair styles look to RATE for me. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895858 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 04:52:21 +0000 Ingunn 895858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both pieces are stellar. The blue color really suits you! I think you've styled them well here. As for the hair, I think your curls are fab! I never wear mine any other way, and think they are part of my signature.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895839 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 04:16:07 +0000 Anonymous 895839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <u>L</u><u>ove </u>the shirt.&nbsp; <u>Love</u> the dress.&nbsp; <u>Really really love</u> your hair!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895829 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 04:09:04 +0000 Parsley 895829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, those are some great ideas, Firecracker!<br />I think white jeans will be great with the blue top.<br />i thought about my&nbsp;EF silk slouchy pants, and wasn't sure if the volume over volume would make me look as big as a house. I'll have to try it and find out!<br /><br />Good idea about the tiger's eye necklace. I do have one I could try. Actually, I wasn't sure if the tortoise wedges were a fail with the dress, but I'm realizing that I have a wardrobe hole of no&nbsp;black heels except open-toes.<br /><br />thanks for your suggestions!<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895817 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:55:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 895817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both pieces are amazing on you. I can see why you are wearing that shirt often already, and the dress is just as stunning. I love the way you've styled the dress in both photos. The necklace in the second photo (5) is incredible, especially the way it plays up your hair and eyes.<br /><br />Other styling ideas: I'd like to see the blouse over white jeans; any color of skinny pants with low-vamped flats or pumps; silky track pants (do you have the Eileen Fisher ones?).<br /><br />Do you have tiger's eye jewelry that would&nbsp; work with the dress? The pumps in 5 (which look so fab with the dress) sent my mind in that direction. <br /><br />ETA: I like your hair this way; the waves are really pretty on you!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895815 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:55:44 +0000 Parsley 895815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all for your comments, and it's interesting that the curly hair gets support. I was sort of afraid that it made me look like a crazy lady, aging hippy, or frumpy!<br /><br />Caro, do you mean darker tights, or the way I wore it in #4?<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895814 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:54:15 +0000 Isabel 895814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG ! &nbsp;10 and 10 ! &nbsp;You are so right in that when I looked at them through the links, they looked "meh".&nbsp;<br /><br />But then your photos...POW. &nbsp;Just another example of why we should try things on even when there is not hanger appeal. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895810 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:50:56 +0000 Suz 895810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <b>LOVE!!! </b>These are both stellar pieces and look so wonderful on you!&nbsp;<br /><br />And I am jealous. Sigh....None of it looked like this on me!&nbsp;<br /><br />As for styling suggestions, it looks as if you have got that sorted already! And that includes your hair, which I like this way as much as the other way. So nice to have choices.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895809 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:49:43 +0000 carolbee 895809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great buys Parsley. &nbsp;I was also thinking that your hair looks great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895805 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:45:49 +0000 Caro in Oz 895805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your hair curly &amp; the shirt &amp; dress are great:)&nbsp;Isn't it great when you find clothing you love all in the same place?<br /><br />I'd love to see the dress with tights &amp; boots too (it is autumn in this part of the world).<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895792 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:26:53 +0000 Jaime 895792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I looked at the pictures and your hair was one of the things I admired before I read your post. Both items look wonderful, no advice, just appreciation! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-things-i-got-in-paris#post-895773 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:09:24 +0000 celia 895773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those are both gorgeous items, I especially love the blouse.<br />Online shopping can be very deceiving, nothing like try things on.<br />
