All gorgeous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2125937 Sun, 07 Jun 2020 20:03:41 +0000 The Cat 2125937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You manage to look great in a variety of colours and prints.<br /> Your dress in #1 looks comfortable and fun.<br /> I love the dark floral print in 11. Fab styling. Would likely also look lovely and summery with pink / lilac / clear purple / white / silver accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2125719 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 15:00:37 +0000 Christina F. 2125719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I dropped off - too busy and depressed this week to engage much online. I wanted to acknowledge that I’d seen the lovely comments from rachylou and Mirjana, though. Thanks, ladies!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2125368 Thu, 04 Jun 2020 18:10:15 +0000 Mirjana 2125368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All are beautiful like usual. My favorite is # 10, maybe as I like white jeans. You look very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124986 Tue, 02 Jun 2020 04:00:04 +0000 rachylou 2124986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these outfits are worthy of repeating in my book and that dress in 1 - A++! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124888 Mon, 01 Jun 2020 18:24:58 +0000 Christina F. 2124888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks everyone for the kind words. I was too distracted by the news this weekend to respond.</div><div><br /></div><div>Suz, it's a good idea to add fabric tot he dress, but it IS layered, so I'm not sure if that would work. I may try to reassess it with sandals with a bit of a heel on to see if I feel differently.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124775 Sun, 31 May 2020 19:35:53 +0000 lyn67 2124775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great Boden dress(es)&amp;all great looks, too! My faves (and a great inspiration for me per the moment are nr 4,5,9,10!) Thank you for posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124746 Sun, 31 May 2020 15:58:14 +0000 Suz 2124746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Christina</b>, you are looking <b>GORGEOUS</b>!! I <b>LOVE </b>the new dress. So, so pretty on you. And you're so right -- with a dress like that, who needs anything else? The outfit is complete.&nbsp;</p> <p>A thought: If the size up of the other Boden would be too big, what about getting a strip of coordinating fabric added to the bottom to give you the length you want? Like trim. I know that fabric shopping might be a difficult thing right now, but to save for later?&nbsp;</p> <p>That utility jacket is awesome on you, as are the tops in 5, 7, and 10. Not to mention the <b>Angie</b> recommended hoodie.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the peplum top. I can see it being a potentially useful item.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124721 Sun, 31 May 2020 14:16:56 +0000 Bijou 2124721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new dress, it is so pretty on you. Boden dresses suit and fit you beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124665 Sun, 31 May 2020 05:50:50 +0000 Anonymous 2124665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are the new dress in #1 and the outfit in the last photo. Keep that top. I like it better than the tucked in or loose ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124400 Sat, 30 May 2020 00:28:05 +0000 MsMaven 2124400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great outfits. I love the dress for a warm summer day. I love the outfit with the utility jacket as well. All of these look good on you--good proportions too. Nice to have all the variety especially when we are mostly staying at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124390 Fri, 29 May 2020 23:40:43 +0000 Christina F. 2124390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, kellygirl! The top looks nice; I’m mostly concerned about the fabric but I never considered it a high summer top anyway.</p> <p>Jenn and &nbsp;suntiger - thank you and that’s a great jacket. I had to replace my older one since I ruined it by running my rolling desk chair over it. (Ugh.) It’s a wardrobe essential for me. </p> <p>Jenn - just above the knee just looks wrong to me know. A little shorter would even be better. I don’t think the dress shrunk or anything. Ah well.&nbsp;<br /><div><br /></div><div>Synne, if only I had a scrunchy, but I don’t. Since I was a teenager in the 90’s, that seems like an oversight! &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Angie, you’re very sweet—thank you! That dress you got is great. The peplum top stays for now but won’t be appropriate for high summer, I think. &nbsp;That’s okay, though. </div><div><br /></div><div>Liesbeth, in a weird way, I, finding this to be a great time for dressing because I’m only trying to please myself. My only restriction right now is that I want to feel comfortable. It’s actually freeing.</p> <p>thank you, Celia, Preppy Pear and torontogirl! The top is cute but I guess the problem is that I found &nbsp;to think of it as a shoulder season item, and shoulder season is short here. It’s okay to have some items that work only for shoulder season, though I wouldn’t want too many. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Slim cat, thank you! 5 and 7 are two of my faves too.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124377 Fri, 29 May 2020 22:35:23 +0000 Helena 2124377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super stylish as you always are. I like the peplum! I'd say hang on to it and see if it gets more wear ... a simple black top is super-handing as a quick fall-back outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124374 Fri, 29 May 2020 22:27:34 +0000 nemosmom 2124374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Love all of these! The print of that dress is so fun for warm weather! <br /></div><div>I actually like the peplum with the wider jeans - it doesn't look 'off' in any way, IMO. </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124361 Fri, 29 May 2020 22:21:20 +0000 Preppy Pear 2124361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty, pretty, pretty! Yay to all. White jeans might be my very favorite. I like the peplum. Quite a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124357 Fri, 29 May 2020 22:17:03 +0000 slim cat 2124357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many pretty outfits! Difficult to pick a favorite - #1,5 and 7 as the frontrunners in your great collection of outfits . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124348 Fri, 29 May 2020 21:48:36 +0000 celia 2124348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are rocking this whole WFH dressing, I can see how all those outfits can be comfortable besides being fabulous.<br />I like the top on you and would give it a chance to earn a definitive place in your wardrobe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124282 Fri, 29 May 2020 18:01:12 +0000 Liesbeth 2124282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 2, 10 and 11! You are definitely more adventurous (in dressing) than me during the crisis. I also think the peplum top works with wide legs because it's fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124279 Fri, 29 May 2020 17:54:08 +0000 Angie 2124279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your clothing sense JUST GETS BETTER. Truly. And in the middle of an unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. I'm impressed :)</p> <p><b>Christina</b>, I love it ALL. Such fun variation, yet with lots of cohesion. Never a dull moment. Rocking those jumpsuits! And it shows that you really enjoy and wear your clothes...</p> <p>Keep the peplum top for now. Try it with the skirt in #6.&nbsp;</p> <p>KILLER Boden dress. I'm wearing this today. Warm here too. High five!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124249 Fri, 29 May 2020 17:19:08 +0000 Synne 2124249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that dress on you! Might I suggest styling it with a hairbun in a scrunchie? Fab and fun retro 90s. Also especially fond of the large patterned blouse in #5. You have so many great items. Your style is soo good, both the more corporate and relaxed looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124247 Fri, 29 May 2020 17:17:23 +0000 Anonymous 2124247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 6 and 7 but like the utility jacket a lot too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124243 Fri, 29 May 2020 17:10:04 +0000 Jenn 2124243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the utility jacket outfit! That's my favorite! The new hoodie looks great on you, too, and that new Boden dress is lovely for hot summer. &nbsp;I know exactly what you mean about adjusting to longer lengths. &nbsp;I have a couple of dresses in my holding zone that hit right at or just above the knee, and they just don't feel quite right anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124229 Fri, 29 May 2020 16:17:39 +0000 kellygirl 2124229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh, these are fab. The top in question is actually one of my faves. I think it looks great with the wide legs. Love 2, 6, 7,10, 11. The midi skirt with the short sleeve sweater is perfection! Cute rompers and love the cropped jeans too. YLF as ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-2#post-2124223 Fri, 29 May 2020 16:01:47 +0000 Christina F. 2124223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Today, I decided to wear a summery dress, since it's rather warm and sticky outside. Not that I will go out much...</div><div><br /> </div><div>This is a great new dress from Boden--unfortunately this colorway mostly sold out (the available colorway is pretty too). I anticipated that and ordered, and it eventually arrived. I still like a girly dress like this for summer, even if my style has gone mostly in a different direction. The nice thing about a dress is that you don't have to worry too much about it going with other items.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>(My favorite dress of all time is this other one from Boden, with the fun Riviera print. it still fits but is sadly slightly shorter than I want it to be now; my eye has adjusted to knee covering lengths more. I am keeping this for my hall of fame but may search ebay etc for the next size up, in the hopes that it would add enough length.)</div><div><br /> </div><div>I've included a few other looks from recent times, but I've been less diligent about photos. I did get the hoodie Angie recommended (correct as usual).<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>The last photo is an experiment - I am not sure I should keep this asymmetrical peplum top now that I favor skinny jeans less, so I tried it with wide jeans to see. I felt comfortable and left it on (because who cares right now?) but I'm sort of ambivalent about the top. It's also a poly blend, which I wouldn't buy anymore in a short sleeved top. What say you all?</div><div> </p> <p>In other news, we are settling into work here at home all summer. In my case it may even be indefinite. We may end up on a road trip later in the summer to a family summer home where we would keep to ourselves, but that will be done only with careful consideration. Things in NYC are improving but I know a second wave will come.</p> <p></p> <p>ETA&nbsp; - I didn't mean to add a poll!</p> </div></p>
