You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1283159 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 11:52:16 +0000 Day Vies 1283159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the contrast of the green bag in #1 -- I also like the coral bag in #2 with the soft gray stripes in the dress. I am not sold on any of the toppers either because of cut or color. </p> <p>However if you must wear one of these toppers, I think the fit of the black bolero sweater in #6 paired with the purse from either 1 or 2 would look perfect. </p> <p>I also think since it's very casual wedding you could dig up a blue denim jacket (with the same fit as #4) if your arms got cool, pop the collar and pair with the lime clutch for the wedding as well. (I am indeed partial to lime especially paired with blue -- I think it would be a fabulous contrast and evoke just the right level of relaxed polished). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1283155 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 11:49:26 +0000 lyn67 1283155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the topper in nr 8 the best with this dress(for a wedding)!&nbsp;Add the lime clutch and it's perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1283098 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 09:09:46 +0000 Deborah 1283098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, I don't know if I am too late, but the jacket in #8 is fab with the dress. To my eye it tones beautifully with the dress. The dress is quite special and the other toppers are just not quite up to it. If you go with this jacket then I feel the accessories need to be at a minimum. I quite like the idea of the lime clutch and the necklace pictured with it, with the jacket in #8. Can I encourage you not to over think it and trust yourself...you have a great eye for what works xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1283079 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 06:39:58 +0000 Jeanie 1283079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Suz said. &nbsp;No necklace necessary so the dress is the star..after you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1283075 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 06:32:19 +0000 Ornella 1283075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the photos only before reading. I love both clutches and the white jacket. The black ones are too stark against everything, so is the other dark one, no.8 clashes with the strong geometry of the bold stripes and no.9 has left me unexcited.</p> <p>My vote would be white jacket + green clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1283000 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 03:44:51 +0000 Karie 1283000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, heavens to murgatroyd, I'm keeping both clutches. I am so weak in these late hours! The orange one matches perfectly with the belt on my other dress (white with big black polka dots and an orange belt) and the lime green one I just plain love the color. The tags are off. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do (and right now this girl's gotta go get some sleep!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282978 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 03:09:46 +0000 columbine(erin) 1282978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another vote for the white jacket. The proportions are great and Angie has shown us I think that creams and whites can be lovely together. Either clutch would work as well. I really like the dress on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282970 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 03:02:14 +0000 Karie 1282970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alana, yes! I'll go with that - white and cream is very lux.&nbsp;</p> <p>Carter, I have the distressed AE denim jacket that's not what I would call oversized - it's much heavier than the white one (but not cropped) and I'll bring it with me in case I don't change for the reception, I can just pop that on.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, the reception is not at the beach - close to it, but in the bride's family's backyard. I'm thinking I'll not wear the burgundy moto after all - maybe my Mural bomber or the denim jacket. Seems more "clambake" friendly, plus either of those choices will go with the clutches, and the burgundy moto won't.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282953 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 02:45:27 +0000 Alana in Canada 1282953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White and bone bathrooms are considered very lux, lol! The white denim jacket looks best, too, I think. As for the accessories, I'm still learning.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282952 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 02:44:51 +0000 Jaime 1282952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto Aida! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282928 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 02:23:08 +0000 Ledonna N. 1282928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>don't change the dress is beautiful on you with the white topper and lime clutch ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282913 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 02:07:08 +0000 Mona 1282913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White cropped jacket looks best with this dress in my opinion. Citron clutch would look lovely. Enjoy the wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282912 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 02:06:19 +0000 carter 1282912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you need a topper? I like #1 best then #2, no topper. As another thought, if the dress is really blue, do you have a blue denim jacket that's not over-sized? Very cute with either jewelry and clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282908 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 02:00:32 +0000 Sveta 1282908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mix those whites with confidence!<br />I like BCBG jacket too but it is dressier. So it is up to you how dressy or casual you want to go - white denim or BCBG.&nbsp;<br />On accessories I agree with Aida - lime modern clutch and no necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282907 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 01:59:25 +0000 Diana 1282907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote white denim jacket, lime clutch, and cuff.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is perfect for the Cape! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282886 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 01:30:03 +0000 Aida 1282886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh the jacket in #8 also works wonderfully. I now vote EITHER the white or that one, still the lime clutch, and still no necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282884 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 01:23:22 +0000 pil 1282884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the varying gradations of white/cream/gray with the white denim jacket. My personal preference is for the orange clutch with the cuff. See? Karie *can* dress herself wonderfully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282882 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 01:16:52 +0000 Aquamarine 1282882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lime clutch, white jacket...you look perfect for a casual Cape Cod wedding! I think the white with the cream is fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282878 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 01:12:51 +0000 Mo 1282878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to laugh at the title. &nbsp;Glad you got the dress. &nbsp;It's wonderful. &nbsp;As for pairings, Mo can't dress herself either these days so ???? &nbsp;:D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282874 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 01:05:43 +0000 Aida 1282874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote white jacket, lime clutch, and no necklace. Mix those whites and creams! :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282873 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 01:05:06 +0000 lari 1282873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>karie, you look fantastic! I would pick #2 for&nbsp;accessories and #5 for topper. I don't think is too dark.&nbsp;I am new to YLF so I cannot explain why exactly this combination looks&nbsp;the best to me&nbsp;but it does :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282872 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 01:03:09 +0000 Karie 1282872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mellllls, I think the wedding is casual enough and the jacket is a cropped very lightweight denim so in my mind it's OK. I wouldn't do it if it was a dressy blazer, My mother-in-law is bringing her white sweater to wear at the reception.&nbsp;</p> <p>My main concern is that the jacket is white and the dress is cream. &nbsp;Is white with cream OK? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282863 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 00:57:30 +0000 Mellllls 1282863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the dress for the white jacket? &nbsp;is it too much white for a wedding though?? &nbsp;(i'm not sure) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282861 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 00:55:55 +0000 Karie 1282861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, the wedding is very casual, so I don't think the white jacket is too casual at all. I didn't try the BCBG, I didn't think it would work, I thought it would compete with the dress too much. I'll give it a try on now. </p> <p>Suz, I'm thinking&nbsp;complete change. I am probably going to change into the outfit I wore to the Boston meetup!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282856 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 00:52:25 +0000 Suz 1282856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White jacket! I would go with &nbsp;cuff, no necklace, and either bag. You look fab, Karie! Are you going to bring a more casual shoe for the beach part? Or a complete change?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282853 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 00:50:02 +0000 tricia w. 1282853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the orange bag in #2&nbsp;,and the white jacket in #4&nbsp;with the dress. Very cute and summery.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/because-karie-cant-dress-herself#post-1282850 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 00:48:14 +0000 Sveta 1282850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White topper for sure! I am not sure if it is too casual for the wedding though. What about the BCBG jacket, the second one you got - is it cropped enough for the dress?<br />I like both bag options and I would go with either cuff or earrings - slight preference for the cuff.<br />Lovely and fun dress and clambake sounds delish!</p>
