Will bike shorts or leggings work under a dress for ridding to the train station? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenged#post-2037084 Fri, 21 Jun 2019 04:35:02 +0000 Gigi 2037084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you!

I generally hope things will work out, or choose together with mom.<br /> Angie, I thought you would like that :). But seriously, ylf has turned me onto white footwear and now this pair is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenged#post-2036922 Thu, 20 Jun 2019 14:53:53 +0000 Angie 2036922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SUPER cute. The white loafers make the look for me. Like the lace cami too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenged#post-2036901 Thu, 20 Jun 2019 13:47:50 +0000 BlueJay 2036901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Lovely dress! I like that the material has a texture to it. Looks great with the loafers. Good job with choosing the material and pattern as sometimes (in my experience) they don't work co-operatively. Kudos to your mom too for sewing!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Also, can I say that I am super envious as this is a dream of mine:<br /> ..."now I start my commute with a bike ride..." so awesome!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenged#post-2036755 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 15:01:20 +0000 Liesbeth 2036755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I'm glad the neutral outfit gets your approval, as do my mom's sewing skills!<br /> I do think most colors go well with black and white, but pastels seemed wrong here and I only own blush/pink jewelry (apart from white &amp; silver). A true 'pop' of color would be nice but I could only use my bag for that. Good to keep in mind for my next shopping trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenged#post-2036742 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 13:32:10 +0000 ChristelJ 2036742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so great with the cute tie at the waist!

I tend to think any color accessories go with B&amp;W . . .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-challenged#post-2036574 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 18:31:55 +0000 Liesbeth 2036574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently changed jobs and now I start my commute with a bike ride to the train station in the early morning (as opposed to driving to work). This suits me fine but the early morning cold is not conducive to wearing dresses. After a brief experiment with nude hose earlier this year, I decided that I don’t want to pay the high cpw - my two pairs both tore after three wear :(. So pants now reign supreme. No problem, I like pants and dresses equally.<br /> Today I got a chance to wear a dress for an employee event in my own town. It was very hot all day, even within the building, so no issue there. My mom made this seventies style dress, I chose the fabric, pattern and buttons. I really like it and it feels substantial enough for work, yet fun too. Very basic black and white styling as I currently own NO colored accessories that work here :/. Despite the lack of choice I liked the result. I did add a red bag. (People were wearing anything from jeans + tee to blouses with pumps and lippie. Lots of printed pants and sun dresses. So I chose a happy medium.)<br /> I like dresses because a good dress is an outfit. Sure, you can style it different ways but my favorite dresses are great when just paired with the right shoe, and perhaps a jacket. Dresses make me feel feminine and polished. I prefer shirt dresses, sack dresses and fit and flare (because they fit my figure and style best). If I ever find a well-fitting chinese dress though (cheongsam), I’ll die happy :). </p>
