Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17585 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:44:39 +0000 christie 17585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, my house was built around 1925, and is an arts and crafts cottage (surrounded by slightly larger arts and crafts bungalows). </p> <p>San, unfortunately, i'm not on any coast. I'm right smack in the middle. This is pretty sad because I love the ocean. </p> <p>Lena, I can't wait for your photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17576 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:27:09 +0000 Lena 17576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that Goldcrest color is amazing! And the Gulfstream is so pretty and serene! I'm salivating Decorating with color is so effective. I can't wait to do color blocked walls when I have the opportunity. </p> <p>As for wrap dresses, I discovered them last year by accident. BR had one on sale, I took a chance and tried it on. I was blown away by how comfortable it was and by how well it fit (I used to think they were only for busty figures). After that I went a little crazy and ordered a whole bunch more, but kept only one from Laundry (I think). And I always keep an eye out for more. Unfortunately my photographer friend is not here for another week, and I'll try to take pics later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17558 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:06:48 +0000 Anonymous 17558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow what a beautiful dress on you and the shoes are perfect. I also can't imagine riding a bike in a beautiful dress. Go girl!<br /> The house pictures are awesome. You are fearless with a paint brush. It looks great. I love your house.<br /> Just wondering what coast you live on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17556 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:58:02 +0000 Nicole 17556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christie, you look great. You have really nice lips and gorgeous eyes. My favorite outfit was the jeans, dress and green cardi--i loved the combination.</p> <p>Now about that paint color in your bedroom--what is the brand shade? I absolutely love it (love all the paint colors I saw) and it looks so spectacular with the dark trim. Do you live in a early to mid century home? Or did you intentionally go for that in your trim choice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17552 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:44:23 +0000 Becky 17552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look, Christie! You're probably the best-dressed bike rider around! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17548 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:24:45 +0000 Antje 17548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS outfit! Love love the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17536 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:27:43 +0000 christie 17536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shell, thanks for the compliment on the walls. Here are some photos of my house with before and after shots. I have the name of each color on the photos. I love sherwin williams' colors, and I highly recommend them for anyone wanting a little funkiness in their home. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/poppster/sets/72157600175802328/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/p.....175802328/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17535 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:25:56 +0000 christie 17535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone. </p> <p>Tanya, I know you are a BCBG fan. You are actually the one who turned me onto this brand. Thank you. When I saw this dress at a local boutique, I had to try it on. Luckily hubby was in a generous mood that day. :-)</p> <p>Dani, this dress is actually perfect for riding a bike. It is fitted through the leg, but is stretchy. This means that I have enough stretch to move my legs (unlike pencil skirts and fitted dresses, which make it more difficult), but it doesn't fly up at all. This is my favorite bike riding dress--I haven't once had a fly-up with it. Maybe next time I'll take a photo with me on my bike! (oh yeah, and the dress is machine washable, which makes it extra great)</p> <p>Angie, it's funny that our coloring looks so similar, and yet we seem to wear different shades well. I have yet to try those yellow or sour colors. I do imagine that they may make me look a bit sickly. Have you checked out the manhunt yet? It may not work with your coloring, but I imagine the poppy color with your beautiful green eyes would be F-U-N-K-Y. </p> <p>I do have a question, and maybe the photo is not good enough to tell, but does the dress look like it is the slightest bit large for me? I'm not sure whether it is supposed to fit my chest better. I HAVE to wear a camisole under this because the top part slides down a bit to the level you can see in the photo, and I'm not sure whether the dress was intended like that. Plus, there is a bit of a "gap" at my neck in the back, which you can't see. I get this a lot with dresses, and I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen. </p> <p>Lena, you'll have post some photos of your favorite wrap dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17514 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:28:08 +0000 Lena 17514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another wrap dress fan here!</p> <p>Christie, you look terrific in this BCBG dress. This dress didn't work on me, and I'm glad to see someone else wear it so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17513 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:23:55 +0000 Lannie 17513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Love that wrap dress, it has a great print. I love the shoes you've paired it with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17504 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:23:39 +0000 katieck 17504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I also adore wrap dresses. You wear yours very well. Thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17502 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:16:16 +0000 Dani 17502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christie, you sport a dress so well! I can't believe you hop on a bike like that! Very impressive! Those shoes are great...glad you didn't toss them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17499 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:06:28 +0000 Angie 17499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous! Love you in a wrap dress. Perfect. </p> <p>The shoes seal the deal – they add the edge, along with Manhunt and the specs. This dress could have been classic but you made it funky. </p> <p>( ps. I could not wear those blues, but you look sensational in them. Somehow, our colouring is different. I think I’m yellow and you are blue? Who knows!)</p> <p>And you and Tanya are wrap dress twins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17497 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:52:27 +0000 shell 17497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very pretty, christie - wrap dresses look great on you. </p> <p> i swear, i love the color of every room of yours that ive seen </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17495 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:49:04 +0000 Tanya 17495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christie, I love, love your outfit! I am huge fan of both BCBG and wrap dresses so this is really close to my hearth. And that print is so pretty! Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christie-729#post-17491 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:38:57 +0000 christie 17491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here goes round 2:</p> <p>I am wearing:</p> <p>Faux Wrap Dress, BCBG Max Azria<br /> Black Camisole, generic (maybe jockey?)<br /> Mary Jane, Round toe pumps, Kohl's. I actually bought these shoes more than 3 years ago, and almost threw them out 2 years ago. But I'm glad I held onto them. They have stood the test of time, surprisingly and are now fashionable. </p> <p>Link: <a href="http://s511.photobucket.com/albums/s358/christieYLF/" rel="nofollow">http://s511.photobucket.com/al.....ristieYLF/</a><br /> Pass: onlyforylf </p>
