Here's Wednesday's vintage black dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841819 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:49:03 +0000 rachylou 841819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw gee. thanks Angie! Now I feel cool :D</p> <p>Am I supposed to have a thread? Haha. I didn't realize we were supposed to wear a dress every day this week either!</p> <p>I'm slow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841795 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:22:57 +0000 CocoLion 841795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, every one of you looks lovely. Anne, the dress and color are breathtaking.</p> <p>It's a lot of fun to see everything in one place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841763 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:56:50 +0000 Anonymous 841763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne! That dress is stunning on you. Such a beautiful color.<br /> I missed this thread this morning. Here is the link to mine. Inspired by Deborah and Debbie, it's another version of the black sweater dress as tunic.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressscarf-challenge-wednesday" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-wednesday</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841688 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 02:42:42 +0000 anne 841688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am late here (trying to keep to no internet on Wednesdays), and have enjoyed the thread and seeing everyone's outfits. Yesterday I remembered about 2:30 that we were doing the dress challenge, and hurried into this outfit. I felt it was a bit dressy for my activities - school pickup and going to the post office - but I it was what I could manage it at the last minute. I haven't done a separate thread, since I have shown this dress before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841675 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 02:30:44 +0000 Karie 841675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Qfbrenda, I love the black and brown combo, and pic #2 looks great too - love the scarf!</p> <p>Aida, your outfit posts always inspire me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841659 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 02:09:32 +0000 qfbrenda 841659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I love that outfit!</p> <p>Here's a couple of ways I experimented with a black sweater dress: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841589 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:17:35 +0000 Aida 841589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such lovely frocks we all have :D</p> <p>Shannon, black suits you amazingly well. I almost cannot fathom it! Also, that lovely scarf needs to see more action (action action...).<br /> Ingunn, FUN gloves! The gloves, stripes, and tights are the perfect way to add some flair to your classic black wrap.<br /> Diana, two dresses are better than one, right? Love this layering, very clever and a very nice subtle effect.<br /> Diane, I really like the neckline of your dress and much prefer the non-layered version so we can see the neck shine. The wide belt also really gives some added punch.<br /> Debbie, it definitely works! The longer jacket gives a fun proportion that is a little less traditional than a very cropped jacket would give.<br /> Amiable, I like the dress over the red skinnies! Perhaps add a long metal necklace or a funky belt?<br /> Rachylou, I think the gray tights work pretty well actually, especially with the cardigan. You look so dressy! Hmmm what about argyle tights?<br /> Karie, great dress-over-pants look, your dress has a really striking colorway.<br /> JJ, what a fab almost-black outfit! The little polka dots really make this for me. That and the mix of ink and black, love it.</p> <p>Here is my entry for the challenge today! I do not have any non-sweater winter dresses, really, so I struggled mightily to come up with even three outfits for this challenge &gt;&lt; Then I remembered that my sheath is fully lined which makes it actually work quite well in fall/winter as long as there are other layers involved. It has not yet been worn this season, so thanks for the nudge. This challenge did make me realize that I don't like to layer things _under_ my sheath, but toppers are a-ok; it is also a bit of a challenge for me to rocknroll this dress up for casual wear so it feels like me! Today I added lots of leather, which did the trick although I don't usually wear so much brown </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841583 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:13:08 +0000 Angie 841583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I commented separately on your individual threads :)</p> <p>But, Rachy!! Where is your thread? I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT.</p> <p>Jeanne and Karie, looking amazing!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841569 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:55:46 +0000 rachylou 841569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jj, when it works it works!</p> <p>But you do have such the expression in that photo! Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841564 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:51:17 +0000 rachylou 841564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I think what's missing for me is the funky element. I have a little bit of quirky with the grey legs, but it's still too normal for me. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841549 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:40:44 +0000 Jjsloane 841549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took a not so flattering photo at the end of the day today.<br /> Black sheath (ancient BR ponte), black with white polkadots blouse (it was a bit crisper in the AM), Gap ink and black academy blazer, Ink tights (I'm sure people thought I mistook them for black in the dark) and black boots. Ho hum same formula, but it is pretty easy to dress in the morning when it's laid out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841531 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:30:19 +0000 Laura 841531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy to see everyone's dresses! I wore one today but forgot to take a photo in the hectic-ness of the morning routine (hangs head in shame). I promise to do better tomorrow! Meanwhile I will live vicariously through all of your fab photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841528 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:27:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 841528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana - love the "double dress" - I really have to take a lesson here and learn how to layer items other than jackets over top my dresses. Love this!</p> <p>Diane - like I said on your thread, the fit of this dress is just gorgeous on you. Talk about flattering! Love it with the wide belt - sort of "Modern Maid Marion" - lol!</p> <p>Amiable - well I don't think the dress over skinnies is as bad as you thought, but WOW! The checked shirt with the red skinnies is OUTSTANDING! You realize those skinnies are going to be workhorses, right?</p> <p>Rachy - whoo hoo! So glad to see you post here! Well I think you look great - what is it that isn't working for you with this dress? Check into Hue tights - they are my go-to brand. Love them.</p> <p>Karie - this dress over skinnies look is fab on you and I adore the cowl neck - very flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841492 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 23:59:14 +0000 Karie 841492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone looks great! Love the challenges!<br /> I actually wore this last Sat. for an evening out. This is one of my favorite sweater dresses, but it's too short to wear with stockings or leggings. In the past, I have worn it to work with a slim fitting pair of brown or black pants. Saturday night I wore it with my slouchy/baggy legging pants. These are very thick, with a front zip and are slightly loose fitting above the knee and taper in at the lower half of the leg.<br /> I hadn't yet re-fixed my hair and make-up :(</p> <p>P.S. - Rachy and Diana, I wore fleece lined tights today with a skirt, and stayed nice and warm in our 20 degree weather :)</p> <p>Sweater dress - JC Penney<br /> Legging pants - Target<br /> Black Booties - Famous Footwear (Madden Girl) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841473 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 23:46:53 +0000 Diana 841473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, I decided today that what I really need is some fleece lined tights. It has been super cold this week. Not good when I'm trying to wear dresses all week. I have worn pants under the dresses twice so far and leggings with tall boots today.</p> <p>I really do prefer slightly sheer tights with my dresses but it's just too cold for that. I think by virtue of their material the fleece ones will be really opaque but somehow I still prefer that to leggings (I think it's the seams on leggings I don't like...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841459 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 23:21:18 +0000 rachylou 841459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon - so put-together!!</p> <p>Ingunn - love the way the blue accessories work with the coat. They enhance each other to wow!</p> <p>Diana - I have already told you that two dresses is brilliant!</p> <p>Diane - So pretty... and secretly space age, you realize :D</p> <p>Debbie - The boots and the jacket are super cool, esp. together!</p> <p>Amiable - OMG! Outstanding! Fabulous color... *If Ralph Lauren did Firefly*... </p> <p>Ok. I kinda got my act together and wore a dress. This dress has been needing an outing. Didn't totally have my act together - the outfit isn't quite me... But I've discovered I have a stockings problem. None of my stockings really work with my dresses. They were all bought for warmth, to go under pants. I can't think of a heavy enough pair of stockings to go with any of my dresses - or color for that matter.</p> <p>I am going to scroll back up now, y'all realize, and examine your hoisery... Lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841434 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:53:23 +0000 amiable 841434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My attempt at a dress over skinnies. It didn't work for me today, so I changed.</p> <p>(#1 is the dress over skinnies, #2 is the dress worn as a jacket - I ended up switching to a regular jacket, and not wearing the dress) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841304 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 20:04:11 +0000 jayne 841304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits gals! </p> <p>Shannon - you are shining in that outfit? Is black a great color on you or what?<br /> Ingunn, love the layers, and so impressed you wear dresses in this weather (although I admit, it is barely cold at -3 right now)<br /> Dianna - what a great idea---love the dress peaking out from the other dress<br /> Diane - still loving this with the belt shown all the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841281 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:34:35 +0000 Debbie 841281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally remembered my camera. </p> <p>Black Dress, boots and hose with grey and black mixed media jacket.</p> <p>I think it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841258 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:14:38 +0000 Anonymous 841258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've done a thread on this but for a quick recap, I'm wearing all chocolate tones with a belt emphasising my waist and a fringe- edged cardigan. Footwear is pull-on stretch boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841124 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:13:17 +0000 Diana 841124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am an overachiever so I wore not one, but two dresses today. =P (Also, this makes up for the not-really-a-dress I wore yesterday). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-841122 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:11:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 841122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries Elizabeth!</p> <p>Ingunn - you have been incredibly creative with your wrap dress styling. Love the black, grey, blue colour combo with this version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-840804 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:04:47 +0000 Elizabeth P 840804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Posted in wrong thread... newbie boo boo. Sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-840802 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:04:02 +0000 Ingunn 840802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Shannon! This is the black/white7blue formula, isn't it? Looking at your denim jacket makes me want one even more. It's a good idea to wear it as a topper under a puffer or coat! I tend to regard denim jackets as outerwear *taking notes*. </p> <p>I've finally had a chance to play with my camera today. Here's today's version of my black wrap dress. I've realized that it IS very versatile after all, I just have to be a little creative. </p> <p>Black wrap dress (BR)<br /> Striped b/w tee<br /> Blue cowl (wool, hand knit)<br /> Blue patterned tights<br /> Black ballet flats</p> <p>Outside:<br /> My old coat<br /> Black bag<br /> Blue hand warmers<br /> Black flat boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-3-post-your-outfits-here#post-840785 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 12:20:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 840785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weather was a bit more cooperative today, so I'm back to the challenge and I've doubled up by wearing a scarf for that challenge as well. Hope you like it....now over to you lovely lasses...let's see what you've got for Day 3! </p>
