Love chameleon pieces :-)<br />I just bought a black sweater dress from COS, I hope it will be my chameleon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2073763 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 13:51:41 +0000 Bijou 2073763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me the closest thing is my leather moto jacket. I have worn it with jeans or and with a sequinned dress to the opening night at the ballet. I love this as a travel jacket, because it goes with everything, keeps me warm, yet also not too hot if left undone.</p> <p>Jenn - you have such a great talent at maximising the versatility of your wardrobe items. What a great dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2073547 Wed, 30 Oct 2019 23:33:54 +0000 cindysmith 2073547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pretty sure that dress is perfect! I wish I had a chameleon like that in my wardrobe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2073163 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 18:06:19 +0000 Anonymous 2073163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big yes to a LBD anywhere! Love all your versions!<br /> Like Aquamarine, mine is a tube skirt. They're the easiest thing for work or weekend, pass as a dress with a black blouse, and can be worn all year-bare legs + sandals or tights + boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072985 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 01:32:57 +0000 Jaime 2072985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this post! I think a good pair of black jeans is as close I come to this - works for work with a jacket (in the winter), works with a blouse for dinner, works with a casual top for casual day. I find black jeans a bit more versatile than blue jeans in that sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072973 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 00:26:01 +0000 Jenn 2072973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>Thanks everyone! I thought the go-anywhere LBD was a fashion editor's fantasy, but it turns out I just needed the right one.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072878 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 20:21:11 +0000 JAileen 2072878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So versatile and still so you. &nbsp;Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072832 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 17:51:12 +0000 Diana 2072832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar black dress, although I haven't put it through its paces for truly cold weather yet, as I bought it this summer. &nbsp;I've worn it for casual weekends, to go to work, to give a talk at a conference, sightseeing on vacation, and for a fancy dinner, to name a few.</p> <p>And of course I have a grand total of ONE photo of myself wearing it! &nbsp;;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072830 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 17:44:33 +0000 Elizabeth P 2072830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Oh I love this!&nbsp; I'm a true sucker for this type of thing, at least in concept. I loved the "one dress for a year" thing that happened a few years ago.&nbsp; Like Lisa, I think I'm too scared to actually follow through.... even when traveling when it'd be so easy, I don't. &nbsp; Or maybe it's my HUGE volume of clothes just doesn't lend itself to having fun like this with one piece. Anyway, you ooze style with this.&nbsp; So glad you shared.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072808 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 17:13:30 +0000 Anonymous 2072808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar EF dress and so does a dear friend. The dress is so easily changed with accessories. Mine does not have a V neck but a shallow scoop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072805 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 17:08:36 +0000 Anonymous 2072805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is like a fashion magazine editorial! &nbsp;I cannot say I have ever owned something so versatile, or if I have, I've been too scared to treat them that way. Love this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072784 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 16:39:01 +0000 kkards 2072784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE! i honestly don't think i've ever had something that worked so well for so many different and varied needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072764 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 16:02:48 +0000 nemosmom 2072764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a super-versatile piece!

What a versatile and excellent workhorse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072680 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 12:18:41 +0000 Aquamarine 2072680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that’s versatile all right! I can’t think of anything quite that fab and flexible in my wardrobe, although I suppose I reach for my VC tube skirts a lot. It seems I always grab them when I can’t figure out what to wear because they are forgiving of weight fluctuations and can seamlessly blend into most outfits without a lot of work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072679 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 12:17:26 +0000 Eliza 2072679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well played, with such a wide variety of looks and purposes. This type of styling finesse can go a long way to making a wardrobe work flexibly. You make me want to re-evaluate the possibilities in my closet and keep this in mind for future purchases.

So flexible! I’ve nothing quite like that - I must be missing out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072631 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 07:00:42 +0000 Sal 2072631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous on you Jenn. Very classy.</p> <p>I don’t have something quite as effective in that role right now. I do find my gold jacket a really useful piece as I can dress it up and down and if us a good weight for our climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072630 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 06:51:04 +0000 rachylou 2072630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that’s what they call a Hero. No joke! What an amazing dress!</p> <p>Thinking about workhorses, I also have a dress. It’s from Ross. Sleeveless, a little bodycon, draped neckline, bright pattern... I got it when I decided I needed a mini-capsule for doing things like going to a bar or out to hear jazz or flamenco. It’s fairly warm yet ventilated: good for going out at night to venues that can get warm. Anyways, tho, it’s a tough dress. Turns out it also works at the bakery no less. Went back and bought a bunch more in different colours/patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072627 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 05:43:59 +0000 Bonnie 2072627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great versatile dress. I think I need a black silk dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072624 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 05:27:29 +0000 kellygirl 2072624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing that this is a chameleon dress. I’m trying to think if I have something as versatile and I’m coming up blank. I’ll have to mull this over a bit. Gorgeous dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072620 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 05:13:51 +0000 RainB 2072620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A perfect blank canvas!

The little black dress (or blue dress, in my case) is really a genius idea!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chameleon-workhorse-one-dress-six-ways#post-2072617 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 04:53:29 +0000 Jenn 2072617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal noted in my most recent WIW thread that this silk dress of mine is a chameleon. It’s true: I’ve worn it to my son’s graduation, as a beach cover-up, to ornate concert halls, and to dingy dive bars.</p> <p>Since we’re talking about workhorses, I thought I’d share some of the many ways I’ve worn it this year. </p> <p>Do you have any similar chameleons in your closets? </p>
