Great casual outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-casual-linen-dress#post-1515408 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 18:50:14 +0000 lyn67 1515408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!&nbsp;Dress is best of&nbsp; a sporty chic, have you already washed it?

I agree 100% </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-casual-linen-dress#post-1515377 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 16:51:50 +0000 Daria 1515377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera - sometimes you cannot (and shouldn't :)) go against the weather gods. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-casual-linen-dress#post-1515376 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 16:43:54 +0000 Maneera 1515376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Daria. I really decided to feel 'happy' in a very casual look today. When I looked at myself in the mirror before leaving, to be honest, I wasn't sure. Then I decided that today my look was 'Comfortably Happy' because that's exactly how I was feeling </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-casual-linen-dress#post-1515373 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 16:37:04 +0000 Maneera 1515373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cheryle--- that's a super awesome idea....I really hadn't thought of that. Thank you so much! I'll try the blouson look and adjust the length based on the shoes I wear....simply brilliant. This is why YLF is indispensable! </p> <p>Penelope, you really should buy that dress if you love stripes. It really is an easy summery outfit that looks great on everyone. </p> <p>Unfrumped, I know what you mean. Proportions are tricky. I've always liked dresses knee length but this summer I'm happy to wear them shorter. Though with my big bust, a longer dress does create a linear vertical line and is usually easier to pull off. Thanks for reminding me. </p> <p>Angie, you're super super cute yourself! </p> <p>Elizabeth, the wrinkles on the dress didn't bother me today at all. It was a super casual lunch and i thoroughly enjoyed it. It's only when I got home that I realized the linen stripes on the white portion were VERYYYYY see through!!! Thankfully I was wearing skin color undergarments. Though I reminded myself that the reason I pulled the dress out was that it was linen and kept me cool. I wouldn't have put on a cami underneath anyways :D</p> <p>Thanks Sveta. I think I'll keep the length and try cheryle's idea to adjust it if needed... when I wear flat sandals with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-casual-linen-dress#post-1515372 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 16:30:42 +0000 Daria 1515372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute dress. Perfect length for you, and I love all the accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-casual-linen-dress#post-1515370 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 16:23:15 +0000 Sveta 1515370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute. The rugby low contrast stripes really add interest here. Actually I think this at the knee length is perfect for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-casual-linen-dress#post-1515330 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 13:59:14 +0000 penelope2831 1515330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the stripes dress, looks fresh and nice style!<br />I saw the other day and navy blue dress with small white stripes, just lovely, I think I should buy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-casual-linen-dress#post-1515328 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 13:30:05 +0000 unfrumped 1515328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress!<br /> I likd the length, and might keep it and adjust as above posters, for options. Too short and you lose proportions.<br /> But then I am on team,"Why are all the dresses so short?" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-casual-linen-dress#post-1515317 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 13:02:38 +0000 Angie 1515317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are supra cute.

Just right to keep cool and look stylish. The accessories (sunnies,&nbsp;clutch and sandals)&nbsp;look good with this Maneera. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-casual-linen-dress#post-1515251 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 08:29:40 +0000 Maneera 1515251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a pathetically warm day today. Crazy humid!!! So when my husband suggested going out for lunch( in the freakinggg heat), I decided to wear a linen shift dress. It wrinkles like crazy but I was sure glad for how cool it kept me.</p> <p>I decided I'm cool with waist surrendering today, and though this dress needs to go to the tailor to make it slightly shorter, I happily wore it for the day. </p>
