I think my sugar eye for outfits that reference Indian silhouettes is a big reason I love this type of look. Very feminine, light, summery and graceful to my eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675380 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 03:08:20 +0000 anne 1675380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675377 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 03:03:40 +0000 rachylou 1675377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Love! I call this a milkmaid dress and love them. (Milkmaid because it's what we wear in Hipsterville when we do our version of Marie Antoinette and buy a cheese-making kit - $45 ) (But please don't let this scare you; you look beautiful and not like you've just had a mishap making mozzarella!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675222 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 23:54:13 +0000 Jaime 1675222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fantastic to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675220 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 23:51:12 +0000 Sal 1675220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it. &nbsp;I totally think it works. &nbsp;And I think when you are having a quieter work time it is fun to experiment with different looks. &nbsp;I also tend to the boho over summer - it feels right.</p> <p>How about with your white sneakers? &nbsp;Or would that be too much of a juxtoposition with the boho dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675183 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 23:02:00 +0000 Peri 1675183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. And I don't know why, but I suspect I love it better this way than I would just the dress. I think maybe just the dress would look more conventional and I like the unexpectedness of this.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675176 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 22:53:03 +0000 Anonymous 1675176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - I could see it with boots too . But this is way too advanced-fashion for me. I would have no idea what to do here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675174 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 22:52:01 +0000 Brooklyn 1675174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. Very fresh and works so well with the cropped jeans. A retailer that I like here is really pushing this look for both summer and winter (the winter version features more a substantial dress and high shaft boots). I am very attracted to the look. I really like your jewellery too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675105 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 21:22:18 +0000 viva 1675105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, interesting idea about the necklace. Must try that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675104 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 21:21:24 +0000 viva 1675104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. The comments are interesting. Yes, this is a very voluminous dress - a-line cut, just below the knee, plus it has pockets! So lots of material. But, it's linen! Super breezy, Definitely moves, and Suz, it's not getting caught up on my jeans.</p> <p>Honestly I didn't even think about my backside, and I am sure it looks huge. I did consider the front and I know I do not look small. Oh well. I feel great. and Una, I didn't even make that India connection but I get it and it makes the outfit that much more fun. </p> <p>Angie, your rendition is so sophisticated and feels more like what I would typically want to wear. I think I am playing with fashion right now since I am (happily) in a downturn work wise. When I am more in the zone I will pull myself together into an outfit like yours.</p> <p>Carla, I've been wanting to see your dress-over-pants looks! Please post!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675095 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 21:10:56 +0000 Aida 1675095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! I'd be inclined to skip the necklace to make the proportions stand out <i>even more</i>.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675087 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 21:02:13 +0000 jill58 1675087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, I love this. I think it looks great on you. Love the color of the dress--nice with the necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675083 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:54:32 +0000 Carla 1675083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did this look last week, and will do it again, and again over the summer.&nbsp; I did intentionally go for tunics/shirt dresses&nbsp;that were cut on the slim side and a little shorter than yours&nbsp;to keep some of the volume under control.&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675081 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:50:10 +0000 Momo 1675081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675077 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:47:20 +0000 texstyle 1675077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad Angie chimed in - I know this is not something I would feel comfortable wearing myself, but I kind of like it on you. It's different, but that's what makes it interesting. The extremely light weight dress seems easy and non-bulky and that would be my main concern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675074 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:43:42 +0000 RobinF 1675074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it looks good on you but not sure I would feel comfortable in it. It seems like it would feel like too much fabric around my middle. But this look works well together, love the silver shoes and your cute hair sets it off.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675073 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:42:13 +0000 Anonymous 1675073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Suz, if my stomach didn't feel lumpy with all &nbsp;of that going on (and it surprisingly didnt) then there is no way yours will. I'm ten times the size you are in the mid-section area:) &nbsp;Also didn't get the dress catching on the jeans thing that I expected either . Totally interesting.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675071 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:39:01 +0000 Angie 1675071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p><b>LOVE</b>, and I'll snap you right back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675060 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:32:38 +0000 Suz 1675060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous as always but I am way out of my style depth here. This is the kind of look I want to try but end up feeling ridiculous in, plus the dress always sticks to the pants (or my stomach feels lumpy due to jeans) and I end up taking off the bottoms.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675052 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:27:39 +0000 Anonymous 1675052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually tried this yesterday with a denim boho-ish sleeveless dress over cropped flares. Looked at myself for awhile, then took it off. Made my back end look rather barn-side-ish. &nbsp;But I did like the idea. &nbsp;I don't know though - I get it, and I think I like it, but I'm a little unsure. Have you gone out in it? How did you feel? &nbsp;It's an awesome breezy dress on it's own. &nbsp;I'm hiding from the sorry state of the world by reading fashion magazines Happy as a little clam in my own little world . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675042 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:15:02 +0000 catgirl 1675042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This proportion is so in style in India right now! I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-and-wackadoodle-proportions#post-1675041 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:14:25 +0000 viva 1675041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been doing a lot of boho this summer and a lot of dress-over-jeans. I love how easy it is, how waist-surrendering, how JFE. But, does it work? Not sure in this case because the dress is longish. Tell me what you think! I'll wear it anyway, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.</p> <p>Not sure what's happening with me and the boho/romance thing. I bought a tassel necklace, I binged Poldark, and I'm watching Outlander too. I think I'm just hiding from the sorry state of the world. </p>
