It was fun to finally find a good red work dress which had been somewhat elusive. I sort of had in my mind that I would like a red work dress and just kept finding little black dresses. Of course, black will always be a good wardrobe staple, but it is nice to have the red to brighten things up.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge---winter-work-dresses#post-2036727 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 12:38:55 +0000 lyn67 2036727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, You&nbsp; always have the most&nbsp; glamorous outfits! Guess the optimism (&amp;lack of depression) given by that endless sunshine balance out the&nbsp; threatening of possible skin cancer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge---winter-work-dresses#post-2036638 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 01:02:14 +0000 Jaime 2036638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are gorgeous! The red dress is amazing on you, but I also love the fun scarf and floral dress in the first outfit. Our winters sound similar and also need for constant sunscreen and vigilance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge---winter-work-dresses#post-2036589 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 20:38:46 +0000 Brooklyn 2036589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Endless sunshine is right. I also wear dresses and skirts all year.</p> <p>The red dress is really smashing on you. That waist detailing is fab. And the floral of course. YLF all round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge---winter-work-dresses#post-2036561 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 17:31:29 +0000 karen13 2036561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drop Dead Stunning in red. It is a bit raspberry which I have discovered love for recently. You look lovely in both dresses. And another vote for sunscreen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge---winter-work-dresses#post-2036551 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 16:52:02 +0000 Anonymous 2036551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your sky is so blue!

Even with my frequent and hectic pattern mixing, I am not sure about the scarf in #1 with that pretty floral dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge---winter-work-dresses#post-2036526 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 14:59:22 +0000 Sara L. 2036526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love the black floral dress with those boots.&nbsp; Great look!&nbsp; The red outfit is fab too - I love the matchy-matchy shoes and bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge---winter-work-dresses#post-2036522 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 14:40:50 +0000 JAileen 2036522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so glamorous in the red outfit. Wow! </p> <p>Yes to sunscreen. My climate is like #3, but add elevation. Skin cancer removal is growth industry here, too. I had a thing removed last year, and my husband has had several - too many years of golfing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge---winter-work-dresses#post-2036520 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 14:34:12 +0000 BlueJay 2036520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Lovely Bijou! I am enjoying your dress posts! Both of your outfits are really KILLER as Angie said!

Love the red dress on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge---winter-work-dresses#post-2036465 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 12:27:11 +0000 Bijou 2036465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am one week behind on the dress challenge, but decided to do the challenge and post because this challenge was made for me. I love dresses! They really are my uniform. Yes I wear skirts and tops, pants and jeans, but my true love is a good dress.</p> <p>Angie posed the question - why do you wear dresses? For me, that is easy: <ul> <li>A one and done solution</li> <li>I find dresses and skirts easy to fit - not the case with pants</li> <li>I like wearing dresses and hosiery, to me they are comfortable</li> <li>I live in a temperate climate, dresses are not too cold, even in winter</li> <li>I get enough variation to keep me happy with my collection of dresses</li> <li>I like accessorising my dresses, it changes things up</li> </ul> <br />Monday (picture 1) - Cue black floral dress recently shortened, black boots, scarf with a Carla Zampatti cropped cape jacket. Worn with sunglasses and black bag. I had a busy day at work, meeting with clients but mainly in the office.</p> <p>Tuesday (picture 2) - red Karen Millen dress (new), red shoes and bag. I had to give a presentation to about 60 clients, so it was nice to wear a bright colour. Worn with my faux fur jacket (not shown, but in Finds) not at the presentation - the dress was warm enough. This dress was a real surprise because Karen Millen is a label that normally does not fit me particularly well. I have mixed success - but just the colour of this dress (and the fact that it was on sale) I just had to give it a try.&nbsp;</p> <p>Picture 3 - Street scape in Subiaco - the suburb where I work and live. This is a typical winter's day if it is not raining. We have endless blue skies and lots of sunshine even in winter. It is beautiful, but also why Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer world wide - so sunscreen is a necessity. </p>
