I think I'll take Isabel's suggestion to keep the black with the tags on for the time being.<br /> Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions everyone!</p> <p>We're leaving in an hour for a 4 hour drive to the party destination tonight. The event is right after work and logistics don't permit a window or location for travel clothes and a change to the dress. Sooo, I'll find out right out of the chute how it travels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1508084 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 13:50:13 +0000 lyn67 1508084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you wear blacks for everydays?

So yeah... I think they function a bit differently, and their comfort/look/travel ability makes them worth duplicating.</p> <p>And re wearing with a topper, definitely.&nbsp; I posted <a href="http://(PS - I think I remember you saying you'd ordered these, just before I did. The price has dropped... try emailing them for a price adjustment - they gave me one!)" rel="nofollow">this </a>just a couple of weeks ago. </p> <p>PS.

The dress has a lovely effortless look on you. Is it hard to find dresses that fit well? Would you wear more if you could? Then keep both. The blue is a keeper because it ticks so many boxes and is a great chance to em wear a lovely color , and black is likely to turn up eventually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507872 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 03:31:06 +0000 Anonymous 1507872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the blue for sure, but I think that you will be sorry if you return either one. You may not need a topper with the sleeves, but if you want one, you might look for an assymetrical open cardi for the wedding. Black would work with the blue. I have a similar EF dress in dark blue and have used a medium length EF cardigan in the same midnight color but a knit texture that I was lucky enough to find thrifting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507867 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 03:19:09 +0000 dakotacheryl 1507867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507865 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 03:10:55 +0000 Gaylene 1507865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to both. Elieen Fisher dresses don't date that quickly. I actually find the short sleeves ones to be the most versatile because I can always add a topper, or an underlayer, if I need to cover my arms. The short sleeve ones also lend themselves to dressing down more easily., in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507856 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 02:55:32 +0000 annagybe 1507856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Instead of hose, I find Sally Hansen Airbrush legs works</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Sally-Hansen-Airbrush-Makeup-Light/dp/B001R2IGEC">http://www.amazon.com/Sally-Ha.....B001R2IGEC</a></p> <p>Plus you can wear sandals.<br />That reminds me I should find some for my outdoor wedding in August</p> <p>Another vote for blue </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507838 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 02:30:55 +0000 shiny 1507838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeper! But the cobalt! Not the black.&nbsp;</p> <p>For casual toppers, denim jacket for sure. A white or olive green linen cargo jacket would look nice too.</p> <p>For a wedding - not sure!</p> <p>I've got a couple of shift dresses (not this one but similar) and have been wearing successfully with a suit jacket over. Or aforementioned casual toppers.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think it'll date but right now you can find this style in variations with different sleeves so if you want to only keep one, I'd keep the cobalt because you can probably find a variation in black more easily than cobalt. Also, that cobalt really lights you up and flatters! And would work great with simple black topper. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507825 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 02:09:32 +0000 Jaime 1507825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cobalt, absolutely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507816 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 01:53:27 +0000 pil 1507816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many responses, thanks everyone! It's good to be back in the YLF 'game' again<br /> Other than cost, the reason I hesitate to keep both is whether the style will become dated sooner than, say, a shift dress. </p> <p>Another question for you - is there a topper that would work with this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507811 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 01:38:45 +0000 Debbie 1507811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that dress on you. I have 2 of these dresses. The black and a purple color. I love them both. Love the cobalt on you. I bought the black one thinking I might not get as much use out of it. I wear it everywhere. If you can keep them both I would. I don't think you will regret it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507801 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 01:08:22 +0000 Anonymous 1507801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're significantly different dresses in the two different colors. I'm wondering if your husband prefers the black? The cobalt is beautiful on you and very flattering but the black is too..<br />It seems like such a classic style, it's hard to believe you wouldn't be just as happy to have it next year too. Maybe you could wear the cobalt since you like that one best? Leave the tags on the black but hang it in your closet and see if the occasion for wearing it arrives sooner than you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507761 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 23:29:28 +0000 donnat 1507761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And again cobalt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507755 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 23:18:42 +0000 Karie 1507755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt, cobalt, cobalt.

However they look like dresses that could be worn every day as well as polished up for going out, so if you're the type to wear dresses frequently you might as well have two that look good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507605 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 18:53:55 +0000 Glory 1507605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt from me too! But, I think the black is wonderful as an LBD and can work for many occasions. I'm with Hubby - why not keep both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507603 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 18:50:39 +0000 deb 1507603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote cobalt.

Having met you in person, I know exactly how that colour will flatter your hair and skin. Please keep that one. It looks lovely!</p> <p>Also, more fun for a wedding.&nbsp;</p> <p>The black is great, too, and if you need a LBD, keep it as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507554 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:39:12 +0000 texstyle 1507554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love the cobalt - the black is great too, but doesn't have quite the impact as the cobalt. Either way, you can't lose on this one, it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507551 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:36:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1507551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does look fabulous on you, Pil! It's a hard choice between black and blue, but the blue is such a stunning color, and if it's one you like, I'd keep that one. EF might come out with a long-sleeved version in black, or a similar one, which could be good for cooler weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507550 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:35:52 +0000 Dee 1507550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cobalt on you! The color really pops against our skin tone and hair. I could easily see it working at weddings. The black is also fine but you're right that it comes across as more sensible. Which isn't a bad thing, but for a nice dress, I feel you should go with the one that makes you excited to wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dashielles-eileen-fisher-dress#post-1507541 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:27:54 +0000 pil 1507541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After seeing this Eileen Fisher dress in a glorious raspberry on Dashielle I was inspired to try it myself. Not quite the same eye popping effect, but I think it looks ok on me. </p> <p>We have a party to attend Friday and a couple of weddings this summer. I love the cobalt, which is much nicer in person than on the website, but feel the black is more sensible. </p> <p>My husband wondered why I don't just keep both, but I really doubt they would get enough wear to justify the expense. </p> <p>I don't think there will be much styling involved other than perhaps hose to help disguise the blemishes on my legs, and deciding on which shoes and bag. </p> <p>What do you think, do I have a keeper? </p>
