How fun to have a new combo to wear that was already in my closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-colors#post-975736 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 17:11:47 +0000 TraceyLiz65 975736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too vote for leaving it open and like the colors!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-colors#post-975709 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 16:51:33 +0000 columbine(erin) 975709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Puffenstuff, your comment helped me realize that the way I'm holding my arms in the picture make the dress look v necked. So I've added a picture for clarification. Thanks Liz; a jacket is a good idea. I have exactly one coat right now so that's a wardrobe hole. Thanks ClearlyClaire, I'm glad the colors look good; I love Angie's formula of blue, white, and black, but those were three pieces if I remember correctly. So I was curious if a black and white print plus blue could work. Thanks Suz and Cindy Lyon, I see what you mean about the competing neckline.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-colors#post-975629 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:58:18 +0000 Cindy 975629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color combo but agree with the competing neckline comments. I would leave the sweater open for that reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-colors#post-975617 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:44:43 +0000 Suz 975617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colours are just fine together, I think. Maybe the competing necklines are a problem. Congrats on the weight loss! I second Claire's idea of an alteration to the dress if you love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-colors#post-975593 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:21:10 +0000 Anonymous 975593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the black and white with the blue. Maybe keep the sweater open so it doesn't fight with the white ribbon? For what it's worth, I was able to have a tailor take in a dress down the sides and it only cost $15 (and the dress was lined), so if you really love this dress that's worth considering. Congrats on your "shrinkage", lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-colors#post-975585 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:16:54 +0000 Liz A. 975585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not loving the competing necklines.&nbsp; I wonder if you could try something with a lower or higher neckline.&nbsp; A jacket might be just right, because in a way the cardigan feels too casual for the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-colors#post-975338 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 10:06:14 +0000 puffenstuff 975338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would vote for trying it open. I feel like the necklines are competing with one another too much with it closed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-colors#post-975273 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 04:54:35 +0000 columbine(erin) 975273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Caro, glad to hear you like the colors. It's hard to tell about the proportions, I agree; time to invest in a full length mirror. I think the cardi may be too long but I'm very tempted to wear it anyway, giving both items a new lease on life. Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-colors#post-975261 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 04:40:12 +0000 Caro in Oz 975261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to tell without seeing a full-length photo &amp; without seeing the cardigan open&nbsp;:) I think the colours are great. The only concern I have is the length of the cardigan with the dress but if the proportions look good then I think it will work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-colors#post-975249 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 04:27:16 +0000 columbine(erin) 975249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Fabbers, I like this dress but after losing weight the armholes gape a bit, so I'm playing around with cardigans. I have a plain black one that is fine, white ones tend to be the wrong white and look off. What do you think of the dress with my blue Eddie Bauer cardigan? I have black ballet flats or blue navy wedge slingback sandals I could wear with it. I could also wear the cardigan open but forgot to take a picture that way. </p>
