I missed this yesterday Harmonica - it is so hard to keep up with the forum these days!</p> <p>Anyway FWIW, I really REALLY like this dress on you. I love the bright color pairing and I think the way the waist band is placed is incredibly flattering. I vote for keeping it and wearing it often. I love it on its own the way you have it here and I can see it in the fall with a denim jacket over top and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-991153 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:59:35 +0000 harmonica 991153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you all! It seems that I won't get consensus on this dress. I need to go back,and try it again and weight in all the other factors (needs, shopping list, budget, versatility etc)</p> <p>Angie -I'm so happy for your approval! I really appreciate your comment do you have any styling suggestions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990815 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 02:45:55 +0000 Helen 990815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not crazy about it, it seems overwhelming on you. I bet you could find something more flattering out there.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990725 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 00:42:16 +0000 Anonymous 990725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really does suit you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990649 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 23:38:00 +0000 Suz 990649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really suits you, Harmonica -- super flattering. I would go for it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990630 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 23:16:50 +0000 annagybe 990630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990507 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 20:12:17 +0000 Angie 990507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! It's sporty, fun, trendy, covered and classic all at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990474 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 19:50:00 +0000 lyn* 990474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It slightly reminds me of "Where's Waldo" - I'm not sure if this is a good look - especially if you're not sure if you don't love it either.</p> <p>I think if the entire dress had the same colour scheme instead of alternating, it would be better.</p> <p>:( Sorry. I am being a spanner too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990470 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 19:43:15 +0000 Thistle 990470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being a spanner here. I just don't love it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990438 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 19:05:21 +0000 JennyAnne 990438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's sooo distinctive that if you don't just LOVE it, I'd say pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990433 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 18:54:29 +0000 rachylou 990433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the dress will go out of style; that's a perennial look to me. But it does come in and out of being trendy.</p> <p>You look really great in it, I like it a lot. My only thing is, I don't know where I'd wear it except to school. And I'm not taking any classes personally... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990407 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 18:28:29 +0000 harmonica 990407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the input!</p> <p>Ana - yes, it's red and navy. Denim, tights and booties are great suggestions.</p> <p>Nancylee - I think you are on to something.. I'm not a fan of viscose for winter (tried it before and turned out not happy). It is a cool material which does not work for me from about Oct-April</p> <p>LBD - first, I'm not sure about happiness factor, because I couldn't see a lot of styling options right there and it is hot here today and I am in a very summery mood. </p> <p>second... I don't mind repeat outfits - I don't think that bothers friends and colleagues either because they all repeat a lot ;-)</p> <p>third... good question! it's a nice price, but I am hesitating because my budget is tight right now, and it will be tighter the coming months.</p> <p>LBD &amp; Ornella - No other colours available. It's <a href="http://www.lindex.com/no/dame/overdeler/kjoler/7016876/Kjole/?styleId=49083500" rel="nofollow">from Lindex</a>. I like their Holly &amp; Whyte collection. </p> <p>ETA: I am a bit worried that this dress will go out of style. What do you think? And I tried to find the Marc Jacobs dress, but something is wrong with my internet connection. Maybe I'll upload it later</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990083 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:01:35 +0000 Ornella 990083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. It's pretty, interesting, not overpowering. Definitely better candidate for&nbsp;MOTG dress than for the office, which is just fine. It also looks like great transitional item.<br />Yes, and where is it from??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990074 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:50:28 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 990074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where did you find this dress, and are there other colors?&nbsp; &nbsp; Just askin' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990069 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:47:53 +0000 harmonica 990069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you Suz! yes, too casual for work. MOTG is spot on :-)</p> <p>But do I need it and how can I change the look? Hmmm - nice price, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990067 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:47:07 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 990067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't expect to like it, just glancing at the thumbnails of the photos.&nbsp; Then I clicked on them, and WOW!&nbsp; &nbsp; I really do like this dress!</p> <p>BUT.</p> <p>First of all... on a scale of 1-10, what is the happiness factor?&nbsp; You say 'kind of like it'.</p> <p>Second... This is a dress people are going to remember.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Are you good with wearing a repeat outfit?&nbsp; &nbsp; I don't see a lot of varied styling options - but then, that's not really my forte, and we've got some amazingly creative ladies on these forums.&nbsp; So I look forward to seeing what their ideas are!</p> <p>Third... is the price affordable for your budget?&nbsp; &nbsp; Are you putting off buying a dream item to buy this dress?</p> <p>This is a dress I would wear to summer/fall concerts, theatre,etc., outdoor stuff&nbsp; in the fall, meeting up with friends for drinks &amp; dinner, meeting your girlfriends for lunch.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990065 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:45:16 +0000 nancylee 990065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's cute and it fits you beautifully, but (like Suz said) it's more of a casual look. &nbsp;Do you think the fabrication makes its wearing season too short?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990063 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:44:40 +0000 Ana 990063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's really cute. Is it red and navy? I wear those colors year round, so I think it would be fine for spring. You could pop a denim jacket over and possibly add tights and booties&nbsp;to make it more cold weather friendly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990060 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:41:54 +0000 Suz 990060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you! It looks a bit casual for work for you, I think? So it would be MOTG type wear... the cut looks super flattering in the pics.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-leave-marc-jacobs-insp-dress#post-990056 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:39:53 +0000 harmonica 990056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you think of this dress? Fit and proportions? Buy or leave? It hits me just below my knees.</p> <p>The material is thick viscose jersey - ok for late summer and early autumn, but too cold for winter. And the colours do not say spring to me.</p> <p>I kind of like it, but not sure when and how to wear it. Suggestions? </p>
