Beautiful outfit.</p> <p>JJ, a beautiful dress and great pattern mixing! I don't think the booties are to wide, particularly not with dark hose.</p> <p>Lyn*, you are the princess of twirl! Love the print and classic color combo.</p> <p>Aida, as always everything is thought out so well. I agree that this dress bridges winter and spring very well. Love your layering, and your ability to put your thoughts into words.</p> <p>High five, red-and-black twin Karie! I prefer the pendant to a red belt, very nice!

How creative and beautiful you all are! I'm awed, and I learn something from each and every one of you about looking great and presenting my best self!</p> <p>Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842855 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:29:56 +0000 Debbie 842855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today was a skirt day. Angie recommended black and white skirt with lace front top and tight and pumps. I liked the textures of this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842715 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:16:59 +0000 Karie 842715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I'm getting so much inspiration from everyone's photos! Ingunn, we are black and red twins today MaryK, I love the retro 70's look! Suz, K, Diana, Laura, Aida, I always love how you use color in your outfits. Lynn, Rachylou, and Jjslone, such pretty dresses! AJ and Bethann, I love your shoes! And Joy, that bomber jacket is fabulous!</p> <p>As for my outfit...I have worn this sweater dress before, but not with my red booties or my red fleece lined tights (I have worn it with burgundy or black tights). I wore a skinny black belt - I would have worn a red belt, but my red belt is the wrong shade, way too bright. Since I didn't have the right shade red belt, I wore a red, white, and black glass pendant, and I wore my black glasses with red sides (I'm holding them in the second photo).</p> <p>I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed, and PJ's worn backwards tonight, in hopes for a snow day tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842660 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 00:25:29 +0000 Aida 842660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, I think the turtleneck layering works nicely! Adding a necklace to fill in some of the extra space that's red could make that gap look less gappy, but I don't think it's a necessity.<br /> Laura, the bright blue and black look amazing together! We were on the same wavelength today :)<br /> Mary, those shoes were made for that fab dress! LOVE the big necklace.<br /> Suz, ooh fuchsia really does look amazing on you. I like that you picked a lighter shade in the dress to use for your topper.<br /> K, yay for productive culling! This dress is lovely, and using two different shades of purple for the cardi/scarf looks very nice. (Also, your dress matches your phone case ^^)<br /> AJ, OH yeah! This outfit looks super with the new booties :D<br /> Diana, what a brilliant shade of green! The dark moody colors do winterize it; I can't tell if it's shades of gray or brown, but I think I'd prefer to see gray here.<br /> Rachylou, the sweater hides the babydoll shape quite a bit. Is your waist really that low? You should model some dropped waist dresses for us :)<br /> Beth Ann, glad you survived the commute ^^ Super dress outfit, and the denim/scarf/red jeans outfit sounds good too!<br /> JJ, PRO level pattern mixing, and I just adore those pointy booties!<br /> Lyn*, cute as always SUCH a fun print, too!</p> <p>Here is my entry for today! This sleeveless dress was one of my favorite purchases last summer, made of thick jersey and lightly lined in the torso. Initially I wanted to layer a sweater over the top, but wasn't pleased with how any of them looked (too heavy, too long, weird neckline, etc.). I wanted to keep the fabrications similar in weight, so I thought I'd give this rather-stiff blouse a try over the top. The proportions are kind of odd but I feel like it works? I do quite like the little triangle of stripes from the split hemline. Black suede tall boots (and black ribbed sweater tights) to keep the look grounded as wintery, and a pop of neon because I didn't like how the neckline looked on its own I'm not sure I would wear this dress again in the winter, but I'm happy to realize that it could easily be brought out in early spring with some clever layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842644 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 00:00:10 +0000 lyn* 842644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had my own thread, but I'll stick it here "for the record" :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842613 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:39:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 842613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>k can shop - that fuchsia looks just as lovely on you as it does on Suz! Gorgeous.</p> <p>AJ - it's so nice to see you here again Love the vest with the crisp white skirt and full skirt. And adore the juxtaposition of booties with a full skirt!</p> <p>Diana - that green is just stunning on you!</p> <p>Rachy - I like the dress (although I wish I could see the pattern and colour a bit better).</p> <p>Beth Ann - wow, is that blue ever fab on you! That's it - I have got to try layering a blouse under my sheath dress.</p> <p>Jeanne - OMG! That dress and those booties together are just divine! Let's hear it for older pieces!</p> <p>Beautiful looks ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842606 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:36:07 +0000 Jjsloane 842606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone looks great! Here's mine for today.<br /> All old pieces, but I don't think I've combined this tweed jacket (Caslon) with this dress (Suzi Chinn) but when I pulled out the dress today the jacket caught my eye as having same colors, but some fun texture. I wore grey tights, metallic belt (gunmetal faux ray) and grey patent booties (Anne Klein) for a little funk. I'm not sure there isn't too much gap to wear these with dresses, but I did it anyway.<br /> This challenge has renewed my love for dresses and reminded me I have a bag full of them in my trunk for the dry cleaners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842574 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:11:30 +0000 K. Period. 842574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMGosh Beth Ann! That looks fantastic and gorgeous. Love the layering and the scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842563 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:03:38 +0000 Beth Ann 842563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the party, but I had to survived a snowy commute home before I could post!</p> <p>This is an old ponte sheath with an odd cowl collar, a high-banded waist with an inverted pleat. I think I'd like to replace it with a BR sheath like Shannon's. I paired it with my New Caslon denim shirt (I've rolled up the cuffs because the cuffs are big, even for my wrists), and a new scarf. I was planning on wearing the shirt and scarf with my red jeans before the dress challenge.</p> <p>The shoes are stitched Mary Jane's that are just an inch from being purged. I like my oxfords far better, but these look like stage character shoes and fit the romantic end of my style. (PS. it's my lens, not the shoes, that's dirty). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842496 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:11:22 +0000 rachylou 842496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn - I have to go examine stocking packages for fiber types. My stocking issues, I realize, really interfere with my wearing dresses. </p> <p>Laura - Streamlined!</p> <p>Joy - That dress is smashing! The jacket very au courant, IMO.</p> <p>MaryK - That dress is a no-fail. So beautiful!</p> <p>Suz - Love the fuchsia with grey!</p> <p>k - is your sweater an eggplant color? It goes great with the dress, which reminds me of MaryK's dress actually. Love it :)</p> <p>AJ - wow! I just love your vest and how well all your colors work together. You have a good eye for shades of color.</p> <p>Ok. I have done it and worn a dress again this week An old Marc Jacobs. I was wondering if I should get rid of it. It's a babydoll shape, which is kinda juvenile. A belt would give waist definition, but the dress looks junky/busy with a belt because of the layered hem. I'm thinking it isn't half-bad, though, with the trusty sweater that hits at my waist. </p> <p>But then again, maybe I'm wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842491 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:07:53 +0000 AJ 842491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Ingunn - That red coat looks so FAB on you! You are remixing that wrap dress wonderfully! Kudos!</p> <p>@Laura - I adore that cobalt dress on you! </p> <p>@Joy - FAB belt to go with your great fitting LBD! </p> <p>@MK - Oooohhh, the necklace and shoes really finish this outfit! Nicely styled!</p> <p>@Suz - Fuschia is such a wonderful color on you! I don't think I've seen this lovely dress yet. Nice!</p> <p>@k can shop - Wow, that fuschia scarf adds a nice pop to your outfit! I just bought a long cardigan and you have inspired me. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842483 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:00:15 +0000 Diana 842483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is mine, featuring my leprechaun dress. Not sure it is a success, although I've gotten lots of good ideas for improvement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842482 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:55:35 +0000 AJ 842482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my skirt contribution for today. Wore it to check out the open house tour for the high school classes at my kids' school. I can't believe my eldest will be in 9th grade this fall!!</p> <p>Thanks to Aida for recommending the SE booties with this outfit!</p> <p>Off to look at the other entries! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842457 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:30:10 +0000 Ingunn 842457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun to see all of us together! This is a great challenge indeed. Laura, that blue dress is gorgeous! Suz and K, you are fuchsia queens today:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842372 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:04:45 +0000 K. Period. 842372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone is looking so fantastic! Suz, you and I are fuchsia twins today! (High five!) I added my fuchsia scarf as part of the scarf challenge, but it seemed to complete the look so perfectly that I never took it off. Even though it doesn't show, I've got textured tights on that somewhat repeat the pattern of the dress. </p> <p>This dress challenge has been great. For me, it has really motivated me to try on my dresses again. I've been working hard at losing the last of the baby weight and now so many of my dresses don't work at all that I'm down to just a few. Trying on all my dresses again has really made me clean up my closet! Yeah for closet clean outs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842360 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 19:48:55 +0000 Angie 842360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing those old pieces come out to play, Laura! Fab as ever!!</p> <p>Mary, you are adding a fun retro element to your style and it suits you :)</p> <p>Ingunn, so Arty Chic! </p> <p>And our fab Ladylike Prince Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842290 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:57:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 842290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy - adore you in that lace bomber!</p> <p>MaryK - I think that dress and those shoes were made for each other!</p> <p>Suz - fuschia is YOUR colour - but of course, you knew that! Really like how the jacket pulls out the fuschia tones in the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842239 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:15:25 +0000 Suz 842239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, Laura, Joy - you all look amazing.

But not that much. I buy them at the grocery store, and they are a blend of wool and synthetics. </p> <p>Thanks for commenting, everybody! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842169 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:55:07 +0000 rachylou 842169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, how come your wool tights don't look all woolly?! </p> <p>All my wool tights are all fuzzed up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-842111 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:34:36 +0000 Debbie 842111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these looks.

This may be a little more minimal than you normally wear? Love how your tights and boots aren't black and the brooch is a lovely touch.</p> <p>Laura - love the bright colour of your dress and how because it is quite a classic cut, looks very current even though you mention it's a couple of years old. And I love blue and red together so of course, think this is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenge-day-4-post-your-outfits-here#post-841986 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:03:47 +0000 Laura 841986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your wrap dress and red coat, Ingunn! I'm blue today - so to speak. This is an Eliza J dress I've had for a couple of years and due to the snow I'm wearing boots and I thought a red handbag would be a nod to the blue and red trend I'm seeing everywhere for spring. </p>
