I hope that you keep both. My favorite is #1, the darker one.<br /> Could you wear a cropped pullover sweater over the top of the dress during colder weather, especially in the spring? The dress would look like a skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide/page/2#post-1454574 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 03:23:42 +0000 jackiec 1454574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a GREAT feeling to get 2 great fitting dresses! I know because shopping just seems to be getting tougher and tougher for me. Yep, I'd keep them both but it doesn't sound like you are choosing anyways. I like how you've styled them, and think you'll have lots of options for both. Lucky you to have DH fix dinner </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide/page/2#post-1454570 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 03:11:26 +0000 Anonymous 1454570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1. The print creates shaping and drama, plus the colours make it more versatile: you could wear it day or evening, as well as into autumn. #2 looks more day/summer to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1454477 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 23:51:05 +0000 Anonymous 1454477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Celia. There's something significantly different about them that goes beyond just a difference in color, 1 is more dramatic, and 2 is sweeter and lighter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1454046 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 13:33:00 +0000 celia 1454046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a thought about keeping both dresses.<br /> It is true that they both are the same style, however I find that even if I do buy dresses years apart the style of dress I buy is always the same.<br /> I think the patterns make them stand apart . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1454025 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:37:37 +0000 lyn67 1454025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pls, keep them both, as they are completely different vibes to my eyes, and both fit stunningly well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1454005 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 11:49:55 +0000 Anonymous 1454005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds! I definitely prefer #1 on you, but they both are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453972 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:08:00 +0000 Karie 1453972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Unfrumped, I like the "grab and go" of dresses. I am definitely a dresses and skirts gal (which ends up being skirts because dresses are hard to fit).&nbsp;I would wear them most often a tad dressed down, with flats and a short sweater. They would get worn to church, events that always pop up in summer, and even work.</p> <p>Rachylou and Gauche, I tried the red jacket with the black dress but didn't like it.</p> <p>Thanks everyone for weighing in. I might just keep both since well fitting&nbsp;dresses are so hard to find. They are both hanging up and I'll keep staring at them awhile while I decide! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453943 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 06:57:53 +0000 unfrumped 1453943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p># 1 is fab!<br /> # 2 looks great because of fit and pretty print. It may look better IRL, too, since the black may be just more photogenic.<br /> I know exactly what you mean about dresses and the need to strike when you find something.<br /> I would just try them with some more things and review your" occasion" options. If you'll wear dresses if you have ones you like, and especially if can wear more casually and grab&amp; go, these are a good example of being in different color groups and the black one is 3- season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453913 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 04:32:45 +0000 rachylou 1453913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope. Sorry. The Monet totally shines with the red jacket. Way way prefer the Monet.</p> <p>Actually, the black would prob look good with the red jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453911 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 04:25:39 +0000 carolbee 1453911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although #2 looks good, I prefer #1. This could be because I love black. It says "wow", whereas the second one says "nice". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453887 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 03:03:14 +0000 Anonymous 1453887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wondering: does the red jacket also go with #1? Because&nbsp;#2 looks great with the jacket, and now I like them both! (Strongly preferred #1 the first time around.) If forced to choose I'd still pick dress&nbsp;#1,&nbsp;but I do&nbsp;see the summery charms of #2.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453878 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 02:40:15 +0000 Jaime 1453878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just what Angie just said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453848 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:42:47 +0000 Angie 1453848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1, but I like the second dress too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453834 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:29:37 +0000 frannieb 1453834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look fab on you and congrats on finding two perfect fit dresses. I love number 1 and how you styled it for the fall. Keep both if you can but I think 1 is more versatile for spanning seasons - could also be my eye does like darker colors, but really the dark color is really fab with your hair and skintone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453832 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:23:28 +0000 Deborah 1453832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your styling with the jackets:)&nbsp; Karie, why not just keep both if that works for your budget.&nbsp; You have trouble finding dresses and these re both great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453827 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:20:42 +0000 Karie 1453827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ruth, I've been thinking a lot about your question - it's a great one - and so far my answer is "both!" So I went to my closet to see what I could wear these with.&nbsp;</p> <p>Tina, I do have SUCH a hard time with dresses. Last year I had a parade of dresses coming and going from my house, I had the hardest time finding one that fit right and was long enough. I needed a dress for a casual wedding last year. This year I don't "need" a dress at all and I've found two!</p> <p>Shannon, I adore that dark background in #1. I think I might be able to style it for colder weather as I have seen you do with such expertise! I hope what I tried to do works.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453794 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:28:24 +0000 AM 1453794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big vote for #1. Feels more striking to my eye. Well done (on both). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453793 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:27:30 +0000 Joyce B 1453793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both dresses on you but my favorite is number 1. The colors are different from what I have seen you wear and they really compliment you.<br /> Number 2 is more in your usual color range. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453790 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:23:55 +0000 Echo 1453790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one is gorgeous and striking on you. The second one isn't <i>bad</i>, but the first one makes me say WOW, while the I find the second one just&nbsp;nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453784 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:12:06 +0000 Tina 1453784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep both. I also have a very hard time finding dresses that fit and are a good length ( long enough!). The colors are so different, I can see the softer toned one now in spring especially and all through summer as well. The darker one could work in practically all seasons. Lucky you! You look sensational in both plus DH loves both- I think you have your answer:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453775 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:02:04 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1453775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely adore the first one . I like the visual weight of floral on a black background. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453773 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 23:59:32 +0000 rachylou 1453773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ja, still like the *Monet* dress best (the green one). It goes with your tatoo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453771 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 23:56:14 +0000 retailgirl 1453771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first one! I saw it in the store today and thought the dress was pretty but it looks even better on a live person. I agree, it doesn't need a lot of accessories. It's a keeper, in my view. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453765 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 23:37:58 +0000 Ruth M 1453765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, if absolutely forced to pick, I would choose #1 over #2,&nbsp;since it is more striking with your colouring.&nbsp; But you look GREAT in both (and if it were me, I'd be looking for a reason/excuse to keep both - lol).</p> <p>Does it help&nbsp;if you&nbsp;ask yourself which one you'd be more sorry to see go back to the store?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453764 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 23:31:44 +0000 DanaL 1453764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say keep them both but if you have to choose only 1 then keep #1. &nbsp;The colors look great on you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453762 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 23:28:46 +0000 Karie 1453762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia, I might have a slight preference for #1, but I'm not even sure of that at this point. I'd love to keep both just because I know how hard it is to find dresses that fit off the rack, but do I really need two dresses of the same style...no, I don't :)</p> <p>Isabel, if I look happier it's because DH has just agreed to fix dinner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-styled-cant-decide#post-1453754 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 23:20:20 +0000 Deborah 1453754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie it's a no brainer for me! :)&nbsp; I adore #1.&nbsp; I think the darker tones are very striking and the dress is just lovely and could be dressed up or down:)&nbsp;The darker tones contrast beautifully with&nbsp;your light skin and hair.&nbsp; &nbsp;The second dress is 'nice' but I find the colours a little too pale and a bit bland. </p>
