I'm glad to hear you like the simplicity - and chuffed to hear it creates a strong statement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686658 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 19:45:40 +0000 RoseandJoan 1686658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, simplicity creates such a strong statement, you look at ease and very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686638 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 19:06:23 +0000 Jenn 1686638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These dresses are amazing on you... all three of them. Love the simple, stylish integrity of wearing these without a lot of bells and whistles. Your shoe choice is perfect, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686636 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 18:58:43 +0000 Beth Ann 1686636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these elegant, modern dresses. &nbsp;They are perfect for Carla's challenge and the summer heat! &nbsp;</p> <p>The white is my particular favorite. &nbsp;It is so hard to do white well -- and you're making looking so chic.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686565 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 16:53:20 +0000 skylurker 1686565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette : thank you. I find lined and cotton blended are good to make a linen dress less wrinckly.</p> <p>Angie : true. My changes are more incremental than yours, but I must change because I wouldn't describe my style as preppy now, as I did when I first joined YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686415 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 12:55:57 +0000 Angie 1686415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes sense, Isabelle. It's very predictable how we "go through phases of wearing things" on our style journey. A few years ago, you couldn't get me out of my tomboy shirts (Emmanuelle Alt style) - but now, I don't want to wear them at all, despite the fact that they are a slam dunk for my body type.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686393 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 12:17:16 +0000 Colette 1686393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, you look really great in dresses! Seriously great! And your dresses are FAB!!! Now I want a white linen dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686385 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 11:42:03 +0000 skylurker 1686385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicky : merci. And blue loves you back.</p> <p>Angie : sounds very practical. I'm completely off the tunic over pants look at the moment though. I have sheer white pants I usually wear with tunic length shirts in the Summer but don't feel like wearing them at all this year.</p> <p>Firecracker : thanks. It took me years to find dresses I didn't feel dorky in.<br /> Now, I know what works for my shape but I'm not tempted to wear dresses anyway, because I think all toppers and hosiery ruin their look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686318 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 04:16:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1686318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, wow, and wow. I didn't know you didn't wear dresses--and wouldn't have guessed from this post--till I read your exchange with Angie here. You look so great in these dresses. I really like the simple, chic style of each look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686151 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 21:18:52 +0000 Vicki 1686151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oui, oui, oui!!! I love them all for their effortless and breezy design. #1 is special, because I love blue, but the white and red-orange are lovely, too, and your shoe choices are divine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686024 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 17:02:40 +0000 Angie 1686024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And that's why I am wearing my flag dress today, Isabelle - but layered over cropped white jeans this morning. It will reach about 30 degrees in the afternoon, and I don't like to feel the draught before then. Bring on the hot flashes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1686011 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 16:34:59 +0000 skylurker 1686011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you.</p> <p>Angie : I was wearing dresses, because it was 30°C, I only wear dresses when it's hot, otherwise I don't see the point of them.<br /> 20°C today, and I'm back in trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685809 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 06:55:08 +0000 AJ 1685809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said! </p> <p>I really like the shoes in #1 and #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685707 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 00:14:52 +0000 Angela K 1685707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three dresses are extremely flattering on you. Love the way you've styled them. You look Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685615 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 19:58:47 +0000 Angie 1685615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU'RE WEARING DRESSES.</p> <p>*faints*</p> <p>*recovers and does a happy dance*</p> <p>I love them all, Isabelle. Killer x3. The Modern Retro integrity of each silhouette is delicious. You have very pretty shoulders and look incredible in sleeveless styles. And you are ridiculously elegant in #1. WOW.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685585 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 18:27:53 +0000 unfrumped 1685585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool and effortless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685515 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 14:39:10 +0000 skylurker 1685515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for your compliments.</p> <p>Maneera : the white dress is a linen- cotton blend, with viscose lining.</p> <p>Runcarla : our national day is July 14th, but it's not a tradition here to wear national colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685512 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 14:34:25 +0000 skylurker 1685512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liz : how about wearing blue with gold </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685503 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 14:12:40 +0000 RobinF 1685503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these. Simple and perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685488 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 13:26:43 +0000 Anonymous 1685488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the button and seams on the white one, and also the slightly more cocoon shape.<br /> The other dresses are nice too and the shoes works well with them.<br /> I would love an orange dress for myself </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685477 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 12:55:58 +0000 JAileen 1685477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super chic!

Timing is fine. July 1 is Canada day and July 4 US Independance Day. (I started taking pics yesterday and will post later this week.). Thanks for taking up the challenge!</p> <p>White is very beautiful on you, but I do have a sugar eye for red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685470 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 12:40:57 +0000 Bonnie 1685470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really great dresses - you look fab in every one. I need some dresses like these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685465 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 12:34:23 +0000 Suz 1685465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all, especially the white one. I adore dresses in the shape of the orange one for very hot days in summer. You wear all of these extremely well. I like your choice of footwear for each, and love the simplicity of the lines, which to me seems especially important on the hot days.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685444 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 11:31:19 +0000 Jaime 1685444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blue and white and spectacular.

I love #2 ---- the BEST white dress ensemble I've ever seen. Love the shape &amp; design of that dress....is it linen? </p> <p>You look summery pretty in #3. Orange loves you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685437 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 10:42:33 +0000 approprio 1685437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh. I'd wear red white and blue but I'm not best pleased with my home country right now. And I look terrible in orange, so I'll step out of this one.&nbsp;</p> <p>Nice dresses. Perfect for our humid summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-flying-colours#post-1685432 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 09:50:41 +0000 skylurker 1685432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla challenged us to wear our national colours.</p> <p>Not sure when we're supposed to start, but I'll start now because I've worn the dresses I'm about to show this week - we had a few days above 30°C.</p> <p>#1 : bleu - blue</p> <p>#2 : blanc - white</p> <p>#3 : rouge - red<br /> Ok, that's an orange dress, I cheated </p>
