Would a plain swimsuit in a color in the skirt be best? What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge-1#post-2218770 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 18:33:23 +0000 viva 2218770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That RIP skirt is pretty amazing - a gorgeous print and I love the shape. It's so fun over the black dress! I can see packing both items for a vacation, maybe along with a white tee, and having several outfits ready to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge-1#post-2218761 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 18:08:49 +0000 Anonymous 2218761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Mirjana and slim cat. The horn cuff was to add hint more animal. I am thinking of pattern mixing the tropical pattern of the ripskirt with leopard top or swimsuit. I wonder if that will work or look crazy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge-1#post-2218730 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 15:41:01 +0000 slim cat 2218730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful and eye catching - great looks!

Ordinarily I would wear a black top. &nbsp;It is just another way of styling the dress. &nbsp;Good for travel or a dorm wardrobe.<br />I got this skirt because the daisy pattern on it made it a perfect skirt to wear to PEO functions (the flower of the organization.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge-1#post-2218240 Sun, 22 Aug 2021 16:28:33 +0000 rachylou 2218240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks just like a top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge-1#post-2218232 Sun, 22 Aug 2021 16:10:49 +0000 Helena 2218232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-challenge-1#post-2218226 Sun, 22 Aug 2021 15:00:17 +0000 Angie 2218226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit works!
