I would wear both in a heartbeat. Definitely try wedges with the blue/white one, and a shrug is an excellent suggestion. Maybe you could knit one yourself, or get someone to do it for you? </p> <p>Here's a great pattern: <a href="http://www.pickles.no/grace-jonesbolero/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pickles.no/grace-jonesbolero/</a></p> <p>The black dress is also very pretty and feminine. For summer, a pair of silver sandals would look great. Lucky you who get date nights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-868164 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 20:03:23 +0000 Sarah A 868164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the game, but I think they are both lovely! You have inspired me to pair a denim jacket with a long unworn strapless dress and see how it works! thanks for the idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-868083 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:06:00 +0000 unfrumped 868083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both are keepers.</p> <p>I think you can stick with flats if needed as I don't like to push people into heels--I like to have option for no heels. But....your idea of a wedge is great, if it's comfy for you. A nude 1-2" wedge would look great with the blue print and still easy enough on the feet for date nights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-868076 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:45:33 +0000 Louise 868076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in both x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-868011 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:05:18 +0000 qfbrenda 868011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I'm so glad these have your approval, including Angie's. Looks like I need to add 1-2 cropped cardigans to my shopping list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867909 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:03:42 +0000 bj1111 867909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gosh...i am in love with #1/2. fun fun fun and shows off your gorgeous clavicles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867897 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:55:59 +0000 Angie 867897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both too! IT's look best in strapless dresses so your friends were spot on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867763 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:31:57 +0000 lyn67 867763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both, pls be sure even kitten heels will do for the black dress. Nice aditions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867719 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:33:51 +0000 Greek Goddess 867719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both, I agree with everyone on the shoes/sandals. The black one looks like one in my wardrobe, endlessly versatile and can be dressed up and down. A winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867687 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 10:57:18 +0000 Molly L-R 867687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the strapless one! In agreement with alaskagirl I'd pair it with a cardigan or bolero and low-mid height wedges. The black one is gorgeous on you and could be dressed up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867551 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 04:36:17 +0000 Day Vies 867551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with a cardi. I would go with red or yellow for the blue even hot pink. Heels aren't a requirement with a dress -- I'm thinking the blue one here. I really like dresses like this with a comfy flat sandal in a bright color. </p> <p>The black is simply sexy. What about a turquoise or coral kitten heel sort of a retro vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867535 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 04:21:14 +0000 catgirl 867535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the strapless! What about with a cropped cardi or shrug? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867500 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:46:10 +0000 qfbrenda 867500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. :)</p> <p>Suz, I'm thinking about how to wear the black on in cold months. I have a dressy black cardigan from Banana Republic that might work with it... or my leather jacket... I'll have to try some different things and see what works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867494 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:40:55 +0000 Suz 867494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are really cute on you, Brenda. They both have a sort of fun, retro flair to them - - very feminine. </p> <p>I think the strapless one would look pretty with a wedge sandal for sure. But you could also wear it with a lower contrast flat sandal or shoe, or even one the was higher contrast if it had a lower vamp or a V shaped vamp (instead of strape going across horizontally). I can see it with red shoes or sandals for sure! </p> <p>The black dress will be versatile for you. Do you think you'd wear that one through the cooler months, too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867488 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:32:42 +0000 kellygirl 867488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dresses! I love them both. I'm not a fan of strapless but the blue one may have me changing my mind. What a gorgeous dress on you. The black one is classic and looks super versatile. It looks like it could work for cocktails or just dinner out! Nice haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867484 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:24:09 +0000 Anonymous 867484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, I'm laying aside my jealousy that you get to have *date nights* so I can be objective, lol! I really love the blue and white one, and I think you could wear a flat sandal that was low contrast with that. I would! Gorgeous print! The black one is really lovely too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867483 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:23:09 +0000 cjh 867483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of them are really cute. For two types of dates: picnic,drive around the lake, stop for a beer; and concert or theater followed by dessert and coffee or a nice glass of wine. You should have lots of evenings covered with these! I don't think you need heels for the blue and white one - any sandals flat or wedges would probably do. Or ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/expanded-my-date-night-capsule-opinions-desired#post-867477 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:15:16 +0000 qfbrenda 867477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll probably keep these since hubby loves them but I'm still interested in what you all think of these dresses. They aren't styled... bare toes and all.</p> <p>He's wanted me to get a strapless dress for a while and friends of mine loved this one so I brought it home. It's a bit longer than the hemline I'm used to. Would I need heels for this dress? I'm considering adding some wedge--not platform--sandals to my shoe collection. I'm not sure about a midi-length + short legs + flats combination.</p> <p>The black dress has a lace overlay all over it. </p> <p> I understand if some of you have a poison eye for strapless things, but what do you think? I think I need to ask to have date nights more often. </p>
