I appreciate ALL of the feedback, of all kinds!</p> <p>I showed it to my husband and he promptly said he liked it and added “please keep it!” He likes the fit, and that it’s a little different and a little more romantic than my other dresses. I do value his opinion and it always makes me feel extra good to wear something I know he likes. So I think it is a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress/page/2#post-2322040 Tue, 09 May 2023 22:31:54 +0000 Style Fan 2322040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress has a boho look which is great for summer.&nbsp; I can see you in that style.&nbsp; I don't think the colours work as well for you as the cooler tones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress/page/2#post-2322031 Tue, 09 May 2023 21:00:31 +0000 Lucy 2322031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another yes/keep vote! It looks better on you than on the model IMHO.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress/page/2#post-2322027 Tue, 09 May 2023 19:56:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2322027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very pretty and a great silhouette on you. Perfect v-neck and flattering sleeves, both ways. My pick for shoes would be the Paloma and Free People ones that you've shown, as they take it a little out of the boho realm, adding elegance (Paloma) or edge (Free People). The platforms, gladiators, and wedges all work, too, but I find them more expected, and playing up the beachy, casual vibe--which can be cool when you want that vacation feel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress/page/2#post-2322019 Tue, 09 May 2023 19:37:33 +0000 Janet 2322019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elpgal, I get a little color but I do not get a deep tan — I am diligent with sunscreen and don’t have the kind of skin that loves the sun, so I’m careful. I have a tiny bit of natural color from a little bit of sun in Mexico two weeks ago but that’s minimal. I don’t ever depend on getting “tan” in summer but I do think that warmer colors look better on me then than in the winter when I am definitely my palest. When my hair was all dark, it did turn a bit more auburn in summer with lots of sun exposure. But that is no longer the case! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress/page/2#post-2322017 Tue, 09 May 2023 19:26:18 +0000 elpgal 2322017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, do you get tan in the summer months? That might help with as you deliberate on the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress/page/2#post-2321996 Tue, 09 May 2023 17:26:14 +0000 Angie 2321996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I get that, <b>Janet</b>. It helps to do those HUGE online orders in stages to temper the freaking out.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck at Karen Millen!&nbsp;</p> <p>I found this dress too. Could be great with your cognac sandals.

They skew a bit dressier than I need for the most part, but some are appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321984 Tue, 09 May 2023 16:57:08 +0000 Angie 2321984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, <b>Janet</b>! Cowboy boots sound stinking cute with this dress. Try it!&nbsp;</p> <p>I can see orange sandals in your future. With a bag to match. Lovely with your blues.....</p> <p><i>Dresses are hard. </i>They can look stellar on the hanger - and awful on. Or awful on the hanger, and stellar on! You never know. I'm inclined to try what remotely tickles my fancy - out of curiosity more than anything! And sometimes I unexpectedly stumble across a pot of gold. Onward we go!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321978 Tue, 09 May 2023 16:41:02 +0000 Janet 2321978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, those are so pretty! I had seen them as I peruse the COS site occasionally. The green one is the most likely to work on my shape, if any of them would. I don’t care for that center ruching on the periwinkle one, and the combination of high neck and sleeve length on the royal blue aren’t right for me either. The green is a bit more Kelly green than my usual cooler ones, but it may be worth a try. My luck with COS is exactly one out of the twenty or so items I have tried there over the years, so even though I have not written them off, I don’t jump on their items. </p> <p>I don’t have orange sandals but I did consider some at one point. </p> <p>I can’t help but think this dress would be cute with my tan cowboy boots and faded denim jacket in the cooler weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321970 Tue, 09 May 2023 16:27:37 +0000 Angie 2321970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b><b></p> <p>Janet,</b> how about your orange sandals?

I would try some of the nude-ish color sandals with it. I like the sleeves either way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321958 Tue, 09 May 2023 14:35:55 +0000 Minaminu 2321958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pockets! It's different from I am used to see you wearing but it does suit you! I like the boho hint and think it looks more interesting with the sleeves up and the metallic Grecian sandals. Is the colour / pattern interesting enough for you?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321956 Tue, 09 May 2023 14:24:09 +0000 cat2 2321956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Pikolinos would also work. It looks like this won’t be a closet orphan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321931 Tue, 09 May 2023 11:42:29 +0000 Katerina 2321931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cut and shape is great on you. I also like the scale of the pattern and the overall vibe of the dress, not too boho. Unsure about the colors. However, it is difficult to assess in a photo. How about adding some metallic jewelry? Yes to metallic footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321929 Tue, 09 May 2023 11:41:48 +0000 kkards 2321929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s definitely got an easy summer feel to it and I think it looks great with the sandals your wearing&nbsp;<br />for me personally these sleeves would drive me crazy, but that’s me&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321928 Tue, 09 May 2023 11:38:28 +0000 Janet 2321928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input, everyone! As I expected, it’s not a slam dunk in forum consensus. </p> <p>I quite like the colors, since as Suz points out, it can sometimes be a little tiring to restrict one’s color palette too strictly. I confess I looked at a blue patterned dress and knew the colors were right for me but (along with other factors), the idea of yet another blue print dress was feeling a little same-as-it-ever-was. </p> <p>However, I do struggle a bit with any print that is not grounded with a bit of black or white. Footwear is not a really easy choice with this dress. My metallic sandal collection is not what it once was, since last year I added fisherman sandals in black and white and retired some old worn out metallics. Below are the shoes I’d try with this. I think the Ancient Greek Sandals mixed-metal flat sandals may be the best fit.</p> <p>As for the vibe, I don’t mind a bit of boho, especially in summer. I’ve been pretty happy in boho print dresses as long as they are a bold pattern and not ditsy, not overly embellished, and have some fit and structure in the waist/bodice. Kind of like my long sleeved Anthro dress below. It’s not so easy to find casual dresses that have a little bit of fit through the waist, and I don’t wear straight cuts well at all.</p> <p>No firm decisions yet. I want to show Jamie too, before he leaves on a trip, and we have a busy day today. I really appreciate the feedback! Even when I don’t necessarily always agree with others’ assessments (positive or negative!), they always help me consider all the angles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321926 Tue, 09 May 2023 11:31:13 +0000 Aquamarine 2321926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks Grecian to me, especially with the sleeves up. It’s a fun departure from your usual cold-weather style (more edgy). I’d like to see lighter sandals/footwear too. Metallic would be a slam-dunk I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321924 Tue, 09 May 2023 11:29:15 +0000 Olive Green 2321924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My opinion is Yes. You can carry off a Grecian look like no ones business.&nbsp;<br />The colour is odd but it works! A little sweeter than some of your choices, but you look so relaxed. And that is gold.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321918 Tue, 09 May 2023 11:13:49 +0000 Anonymous 2321918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sleeve feature! Practical if it's cool in the am then gets hot later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321900 Tue, 09 May 2023 07:20:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 2321900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I’m sorry, I see only a couple of possible naysayers here and mostly positive, but I really feel this overwhelms you rather like Christina’s dress overwhelmed Suz. I see the dress and not you. So I join the naysayers, but it’s only one opinion of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321894 Tue, 09 May 2023 05:33:25 +0000 Bijou 2321894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A definite YES vote from me, a dress like this is exactly what I like to wear in the height of summer. I like the colours and think they are particularly useful in summer, when wearing dark colours on very hot days can feel too heavy.</p> <p>This is a boho luxe look, something that Ulla Johnson does so well, I really like the style and fit of this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321880 Tue, 09 May 2023 02:00:37 +0000 Brooklyn 2321880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it’s really pretty on you. The silhouette is very flattering - better than the model. I think it would look best with flat sandals or sneakers. I think the black sandals are a little too heavy however. I like the idea of metallic sandal. Or white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321873 Tue, 09 May 2023 01:37:11 +0000 Jaime 2321873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, I don't really see it as a departure. Maybe an expansion, if anything. I think it looks beautiful on you and like the sleeves up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anthro-omika-dress#post-2321867 Tue, 09 May 2023 00:50:30 +0000 Echo 2321867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a departure from your usual style, but I like it a lot. The length is perfect, and it is very flattering. It's just boho enough, but the waist provides enough structure to rein it in. And while the palette is different from what you normally wear, I think this actually warms your skin tone and looks great. I think it's a keeper! </p>
