I would wear this to work in a NYMinute. Gorgeous and comfy, what more could you ask for! Looks like Sam is ready for his walk.

Red accents make it more you. I wanted to copy it but didn’t have the adequate weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way/page/2#post-2035923 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 14:22:35 +0000 Angie 2035923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bennett</b>, actually, the fabric <i>is </i>weighty, and you're dead right about that part helping create vertical drape stay put. Fabric and fit are sooooo important.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Janet</b>, I don't wear leggings but white cropped straights work just as well.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Marilyn</b> &amp; <b>RobinF</b>, thank you. The brights make a difference don't they.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Cee</b>, Super Sam has a uniform....</p> <p><b>Shevia</b>, HAH. Team Cancers is spot on! And astute comment about practical crossbodies - and those magical diagonal lines again...</p> <p><b>Laura,</b> variety is the spice of life. You get that!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way/page/2#post-2035890 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 12:50:19 +0000 Laura 2035890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Avant-garde dressing is a fun change-up from the last shirt dress and its preppy leanings. You are a multi-faceted woman! Especially love your sly smile in photo #7.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way/page/2#post-2035886 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 12:26:03 +0000 RobinF 2035886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! It seems different for you but the red accents bring it back. Agree with Shevia about the taming abilities of a cross body bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way/page/2#post-2035821 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 01:36:15 +0000 Jaime 2035821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you are a mood dresser and can coordinate your mood, your style and your closet on a daily basis (go team moody Cancers !). Picture #7 especially made me flip with joy because along with the shoulder points, which I totally agree are the key to so many things, I find that a cross body strap is very helpful in taming billowy dresses and adding some structure. Red is such a good accent with olive. And yes, your eyes look stunning next to this color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way/page/2#post-2035813 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 00:36:09 +0000 Cee 2035813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sam looks like he'll have to grow into his uniform somewhat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way/page/2#post-2035807 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 23:40:21 +0000 Sal 2035807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fantastic Angie. You look happy and it is fun to have days that veer Avant garde or more formal etc. it is instructive - as a larger frame I can feel too boxey in a voluminous dress but the details can make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way/page/2#post-2035806 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 23:36:18 +0000 Marilyn 2035806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun ensemble!&nbsp; It's different seeing you in darker hues although you're still rocking your brights with the shoes and bag.&nbsp; I love olive and black together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way/page/2#post-2035754 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 17:41:08 +0000 JAileen 2035754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn’t sure about the color until the closeup with your eyes. I like it! I wonder how white leggings would look with it.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way/page/2#post-2035735 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 16:09:31 +0000 Bennett 2035735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try this in a weightier fabric, maybe some kind of a lightweight knit. As with palazzo pants, I prefer pieces with volume to have enough weight to stay mostly vertical and close to my body until I move, then the volume releases. Yet I prefer the collar and structure your dress has near your head and shoulders, which may be tough to get in a knit fabric. Hmm....&nbsp;</p> <p>I do like having a HEWI or two always on deck! I love this and it really shows your creativity.

That shows the olive color. All the others look gray to me, so I’m glad to see the olive, which is one of my favorite colors. You look sophisticated yet relaxed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way#post-2035708 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 14:46:29 +0000 karen13 2035708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That outfit is a knockout.

Very interested to read how the finer points of fit come into play here in making volume work so well on your slight frame. I learn something from you with every outfit you post. Prettiest tent dress ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way#post-2035681 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 12:52:19 +0000 Column 2035681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been instructed by your wears this week, Angie. I, too, need variety every which way, from color to silhouette, to enjoy my closet. Getting dressed every morning is so basic to our existence that it should be a pleasure. Thanks for showing us how! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-avant-garde-my-way#post-2035680 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 12:51:48 +0000 Anonymous 2035680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just might! </p>
