Joyce B, Dee , Kiwigal, &nbsp;Staysfit, BethAnn</b>, .more votes for wearing it with the skirt. I think I really will have to try that combination and see how I feel after wearing it. </p> <p><b>Anna</b> yes I am completely&nbsp;addicted to TJMaxx.&nbsp; Marshalls (now owned by the same company) &nbsp;was just starting up in Mass when I was a kid and one of the early ones was built in my hometown. By the time I was a teenager it was my most frequent shopping destination. I switched&nbsp;my loyalties to TJMAXX quite a while ago (not sure why) but am still a loyal and devoted fan, and I LOVE the hunt. I do find I need to be careful not to just grab stuff" because it's on sale. That can get out of control very easily. Also one has to be very picky about quality.&nbsp;Of course their return policy is one of the best..</p> <p><b>MrsK </b>thanks...interesting comment...hem lengths a&nbsp;few inches above my knees get into miniskirt territory pretty quickly which is not a look I like </p> <p><b>Lynne</b> yep Angie is the BOSS definitely! </p> <p>Thanks <b>Amy</b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1689288 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 18:58:31 +0000 Amy 1689288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both on you a lot. As for the top, it looks great with pants. The longer proportion makes it trickier with the skirt, so I'm not sold on that combination.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1689284 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 18:36:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1689284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great shopping skills! &nbsp;Hope you keep both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1689114 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 09:33:03 +0000 Staysfit 1689114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1689057 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 04:15:00 +0000 Sal 1689057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are great additions and I think both super useful. &nbsp;The dress is very modern yet also very wearable with a variety of footwear. &nbsp;And even into cooler weather with tights and boots.</p> <p>The top is lovely, I think it is gorgeous with the pants. &nbsp;I am not sure about with the skirt, but I think you could play around with shoes to make it work well. &nbsp;It really is a great shape on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1689050 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 03:51:02 +0000 BrieN 1689050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just joining the chorus. I think both look great on you without any shortening and hooray for finding the "denim" dress as that blue is such a good color on you. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1689045 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 03:14:20 +0000 Dee 1689045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both the dress and the top.&nbsp; I think they both look great on you.&nbsp; Personally, I agree with Maneera that the top works at this length with both the pants and the skirt.&nbsp; I like the long top over a skirt look on me and wear it often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688970 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 22:27:37 +0000 Lyn D. 1688970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great items, and Angie's the BOSS </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688394 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 03:56:02 +0000 Joyce B 1688394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both on you and the top seems very versatile. Enjoy them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688378 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 02:32:54 +0000 Maneera 1688378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know what others mean when they say the top doesn't work with skirts. Infact, I like #6 ALOT! It's modern and fresh and very flattering on you, imho. </p> <p>Please don't shorten the length on this top. It's gorgeous just the way it is! The length and curved hem has a wonderfully slimming effect and the color is just gorgeous on you. Please keep it!!! It looks equally great with the pants &amp; skirts!</p> <p>The dress is fab. Exactly what I had in mind when I suggested a denim dress to you </p> <p>You're do SO WELL with your summer shopping, Chris!! Love both picks!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688287 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 21:53:53 +0000 AviaMariah 1688287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just chiming in to say what most other's are saying; I love the dress and I really like the top with pants. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688282 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 21:46:14 +0000 MrsK 1688282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I'm in the minority, but I like only the shirt but not the dress. I'm not sure exactly why but I think it maybe because it could be a few inches shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688214 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 17:35:27 +0000 Anna 1688214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both keepers but the dress is perfection on you. Don't you love TJMaxx? It's like a treasure hunt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688175 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 16:18:54 +0000 rachylou 1688175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, both are excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688163 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 15:29:09 +0000 pil 1688163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look super on you! And I'm with lisap on the skirt/top combo, I rather like the combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688158 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 15:12:17 +0000 Anonymous 1688158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both - and I'm not quite sure why others don't think the top works with the skirt. I'd wear it that way too....maybe I'm missing something proportion-wise but I don't mind a long top over a skirt as I never tuck things in either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688153 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:37:23 +0000 cjh 1688153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great items and they look fab on you. The top is perfect with that skirt IMO, since that's the way I wear that sort. I would style with a cardigan or blazer for fall, instead of putting something under it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688151 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:30:57 +0000 Chris987 1688151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'm hearing a pretty unanimous vote.....:-) THANKS! </p> <p><b>Smittie</b> I didn't see it in other colors but didn't look very hard. I'll do s few online searches.&nbsp;.</p> <p><b>Tanya&nbsp;</b>&nbsp;thanks, and yes&nbsp;I think I agree that it may not work with skirts for me...</p> <p>Thanks <b>Joy, KellyGirl, Meredith, </b>and <b>Carambola</b></p> <p><b>Skylurker </b>&nbsp;thanks, and yes will definitely keep tags on while I work this into outfits etc. </p> <p><b>Suz </b>thanks! I don't generally do the tunic style but this dress would give me a chance to try it. </p> <p>Thanks <b>Jaileen</b> and&nbsp;yes that dry-cleaning thing is definitely a consideration...but I have one really close to me and don't go there much so having a few items that require it is really not that big a deal now that I think about it. </p> <p>Thanks Angie. Hmmm..do NOT want to get in trouble with you...need to add a new item to my checklist of keep/return guidelines.....&nbsp;"Angie says I have to keep this" LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688131 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:08:38 +0000 carambola 1688131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both items on you! I think the length of the top works well - flattering with pants and long enough to look like you're playing with proportions with the skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688128 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:01:53 +0000 Angie 1688128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the dress and top. Both 10s. You will be in trouble with me if you don't keep them. Dress will be cute with sneaks too.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688120 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 13:46:57 +0000 JAileen 1688120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks great! The top looks good with pants. I don't think it's too long. I would have to think about a dry cleanable top. Nuisance and expense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688111 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 13:30:33 +0000 Meredith 1688111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress! Keep! Top looks good with the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688110 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 13:28:47 +0000 kellygirl 1688110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep the dress. Omg, it's stunning on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688102 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 13:20:00 +0000 Suz 1688102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is fantastic!! Please keep. Tencel has such a lovely drape. You can wear it as a tunic, too, if you are into that.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the top with pants. Not with a skirt; it is too long. (Unless you tuck). Do what Skylurker says and try it with different bottoms/ toppers to ensure you have enough outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688070 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 12:12:58 +0000 skylurker 1688070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress looks great.<br /> The top looks good too, and length looks good with pants, no need to shorten I think.<br /> I wouldn't cut the tag until you know how you'd like to wear it and figure if you will risk washing it or accept dry cleaning it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688065 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 12:03:15 +0000 Anonymous 1688065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep both. I especially like the dress. The fabric has a great drape.<br /> I really like the top and think you need it to be a length that you will wear casually. My eye for proportions is not very good but it looks like it works with both the pants and skirt as you have styled it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688059 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 11:55:01 +0000 Tanya 1688059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the dress and top look very good on you.&nbsp; The top is very flattering, but I think it is for pants only.&nbsp; It looks too long for any type of skirt, unless you tuck it in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688057 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 11:33:02 +0000 Anonymous 1688057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Vince shirt fits you so well and is such a good shape on you! The curved hem is so flattering and seems to hit in the right spot.<br /> I love it so much, I would duplicate, if it's available in other colours ;)<br /> I think the dress looks good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-top-and-a-dress-kr#post-1688044 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 10:54:19 +0000 Chris987 1688044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I; working on getting a few summer items that are "smart casual" or whatever terms mean a bit dressier than super-at-home-casual. I found both at TJMaxx. The&nbsp;finds below&nbsp;are from other stores. Leaning toward keeping both, would love to hear what you think. </p> <p>Blue&nbsp;sleeveless top. I love the color and fabric and the general style, and cold see it working into&nbsp;fall&nbsp;with a long sleeved T or turtleneck under it. The fabric is really nice. I don't like the&nbsp;fact that it's dry clean only and I think it's really too long, by a few inches.&nbsp;I would imagine shortening it to look a bit more like the proportions on the model. I suppose I could wear it as a tunic but that puts the emphasis in the middle of my body and ere I'd rather have it up higher near my neck and face.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The dress:&nbsp;&nbsp;I've been trying on a lot of these denim dresses (this one is actually Tencel) and finally found one that I think fits well. I like the stle and the color and&nbsp;I could see it skewing more or less casual pretty easily.&nbsp;</p> 1,2,3&nbsp;- Tencel Dress <p>4,5 - Blue Vince Top with pants</p> <p>6 - blue top with a skirt - would be better with a longer skirt? </p>
