But in my head, dresses equate to 'dressy'; which doesn't match my casual work-from-home lifestyle. It's only recently that I've realized that if you wear shorts underneath your dress to prevent thigh-rub and wear comfy flat sandals, it's actually pretty comfortable....even to walk my dog! So I'm definitely going to wear my dresses more often now. It's very possible that I completely go off capris and pants in summer once I start to feel 'comfy' in dresses. I'm hoping I will! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530729 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 14:21:56 +0000 Mochi 1530729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all, and you in them, and am particularly fond of 1, 7, 9 and 10. The colors of the peplum dress are gorgeous but I'm just biased against that cut in general. You should enjoy ewearing your pretty dresses more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530709 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 13:38:57 +0000 Maneera 1530709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530707 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 13:36:51 +0000 Angie 1530707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great frock inspiration right here, Maneera. Thanks for posting. #2, #4, #5 and #7 are my faves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530639 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 09:00:09 +0000 Maneera 1530639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diane! To be honest, I don't mind the length at all. While I am absolutely not open to the idea of wearing low cut necklines, tight tops or strappy tops....I am extremely modest when it comes to my top half. But somehow, I just don't feel the same about my bottom half....sometimes to my poor husband's chagrin! I am perfectly happy with that length, especially if I'm wearing flat sandals. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530638 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 08:54:19 +0000 Anonymous 1530638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just noticed you asked about #4. Well I love the fit of it. The shade is a teeny touch warm for your complexion, but as you say you want to wear it casually, so I think a scarf tied loosely will look nice with&nbsp;a casual look&nbsp;and you definitely have the legs to look good in the length. Do 'you' feel happy in the length though? That's what matters.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530634 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 08:30:58 +0000 Maneera 1530634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Yes! That's a fabulous idea, Di! I'll try that green dress with a pretty scarf next to my face and hopefully that will take care of the colour problem. You're a genius! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530631 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 08:21:10 +0000 Anonymous 1530631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm joining the other ladies with my selection too. I agree wholeheartedly. Also they are all so flattering and good fits. I adore the spotted one in #1</p> <p>I was going to say also that #3 perhaps isn't totally your colour, but I love the style and I could really see that pretty shade of&nbsp;green with a deep, hot pink shade of scarf next to your face.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530624 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 07:35:01 +0000 Maneera 1530624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks a lot, Kiwigal. I'm thinking its my winter colour palette that's winning - blacks and blues. </p> <p><b>What about the dress in 4</b>? I bought that dress for a trip to Maldives. It's a little on the shorter side. I'm thinking that dress should be worn solely with flats and a scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530622 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 07:25:16 +0000 Sal 1530622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Maneera, I looked before I read Deborah's post and I totally agree with her. &nbsp; I like the same three ones she picked out 1,7,8 - all look wonderful on you.</p> <p>I would hand on 9, the colour looks wrong. &nbsp;</p> <p>I think 5/6 is also a nice summer dress, it looks very comfortable as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530616 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 06:38:26 +0000 Maneera 1530616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deb. I see what you mean. Dresses in #9&amp;10 are better suited to someone with a warm complexion. So is the one in #3. </p> <p>I think I'll start wearing these right away and make some decisions. I don't wear dresses at all in winter, so I will need to decide what stays and what goes before I pack away summer clothes this year. Apart from the dresses in #1 and #4, none of these can be worn at home. I'm planning to bring everything I can wear at home into regular rotation from now until the end of summer. That should solve my problem of 'too many dresses' in a more natural way, as some will wear out and I won't feel too bad 'coz I got enough wear out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530613 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 06:15:35 +0000 Deborah 1530613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was almost expecting a dress challenge when the title of your post:)</p> <p>Maneera you have some lovely dresses! &nbsp;1, 5 &amp; 7 are gorgeous. #2 is very pretty. &nbsp; &nbsp;I am not crazy about the colour of # 9 and I am a little meh on #10. &nbsp;Having said that, they all appear to be a very good fit and very flattering on you. &nbsp;It could be good to get them into rotation and see how you feel in them. &nbsp;I find that by the end of the day, if not sooner, I am pretty clear about whether something is going to continue in my wardrobe or otherwise.</p> <p>We have a very hot summer here, so dresses tend to be my go to during our high summer. &nbsp; &nbsp;It's my winter dresses that can languish a bit as I tend to reach for leggings over tights and dresses when it's cold.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-a-thon#post-1530609 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 05:53:40 +0000 Maneera 1530609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello to all you Lovelies! </p> <p>How are we doing today? </p> <p>Diane G's realization lead me to a realization of my own today morning. I do have summers, I do love dresses and own several.....so why the heck wasn't I wearing them more often?! </p> <p>Then Kiwigal's thread made me go through all the dresses I've worn this summer and I realised that quite a few of my dresses have still not been worn at all this season! </p> <p>Since I've gotten so addicted to all the fabulous advice I get here, I thought I may as well style these dresses and show you all. </p> <p>Some dresses (especially the last one) are not in my new found colour palette. Do you think it looks horrid? I apologize in advance - these dresses were stuffed inside the closet and have come out wrinkled. The last one is pure linen and terrible wrinkled! I assure you - I wouldn't wear them in this state! But I didn't have the time to iron them and then try them on, so I hope you'll forgive me. </p> <p>All inputs/comments are very welcome. I'd love to know what you girls honestly think about this bunch of dresses. If many of you suggest purging a few, I'd be open to that discussion as well. </p> <p>Thanks for looking.</p> <p>ETA: I took Deborah's advice to wear my dresses regularly. I'm wearing another dress today. It's a simple woven cotton dress with peplum detail at the waist, but has good stretch, so very comfortable to wear at home. But the question is: Does it look good? I've added it in the end - so picture 11&amp;12. </p>
