Did you find the Tango Frock? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954074 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:13:11 +0000 Mochi 954074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In fact, now that you mention, I am not thrilled with the current price but am planning to try this on as a potential dance dress when I go to Nordstrom later today&nbsp;(to return the motos).

I had no idea. I need to get my fashion terminology straight. I have always loved this cut of top. I am glad someone with as much style savvy as you is seconding me here. I will be on the lookout for something similar in a dress, because I totally agree! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954068 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:08:32 +0000 Suz 954068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>FANTASTIC!!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>And may I just say, I told you so???&nbsp;</p> <p>The surplice style is perfection on you. Absolutely brilliant. Flattering, fresh, lovely. I am with Vix, if you can find a dress with a top like that and flirty skirt, you'll be set. Or even if you can find a skirt to wear with this shell!&nbsp;</p> <p>The sandals look good now, too -- it must have been the angle of the previous pictures.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm wondering if Classiques Entier might end up being a good brand for you, period.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954060 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:01:44 +0000 Mochi 954060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could see this looking very pretty on you, Thistle:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/classiques-entier-print-refined-silk-blouse/3404600?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=2130&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_7_D">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/cl.....wordsearch</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954058 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:59:38 +0000 cheryl 954058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those shoes and the top looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954054 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:49:14 +0000 Vix 954054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Mochi --</p> <p>Glad you have 2 wins under your belt! I like both items on you&nbsp;(biased as own variations on both...ditto to waiting for price drops on the silk-blend tops!). </p> <p>I think you'll find the metallic sandals add a little glamour to whatever you pair them with and they look gorgeous with your pedicure. Is the red&nbsp;the tango influence at work?&nbsp;;)</p> <p>If you could find a dress with the same construction as the top + a flared skirt, I think you'd be set for tango. Easier said than done, I know.</p> <p><i>ps to Thistle -- The Classiques tops do include variations with different sleeve lengths; I own a few. Probably not quite the season for them to pop up, though...keep a watch or maybe try eBay.</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954044 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:37:22 +0000 Mochi 954044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can wear them as stand-alones, but I really think they make them to use as layering pieces, Thistle! You should try them. So soft, stretchy and comfortable and the patterns range from soft to bold, with a few solids thrown in. Right now many of them are on sale, not the ones I'm most coveting,&nbsp;and I'm waiting for the others to drop in price.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954039 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:34:45 +0000 Thistle 954039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice shell!!</p> <p>I, too, love those from Classics Entier!&nbsp; Fab shells with such a pretty drape and so flattering.&nbsp; I wish they made the same shirt but with sleeves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954038 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:33:25 +0000 Mochi 954038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks!&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954028 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:20:29 +0000 Anonymous 954028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shell! The shoes look better than in the other photo -- it didn't look like your foot was far enough forward in the other shots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954024 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:17:30 +0000 Raisin 954024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Home run! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954022 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:16:33 +0000 Mona 954022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice shell. The cut is very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954018 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:12:55 +0000 Liz A. 954018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is working for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-not-striking-out#post-954012 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:07:15 +0000 Mochi 954012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After the denim moto jacket debacle, I remembered this Classique Entier shell had come with that order and tried it on this morning. I love it and it will be really useful&nbsp;as a layering piece. I would like to get a whole bunch of them from Nordstrom but want them to go on sale first. It's a really nice silk/rayon blend and I think the cut is excellent for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will go ahead and keep the wedges. They will also be a fun, casual but versatile summer shoe and I have nothing like it at the moment. The fit seems right; it *feels* fine (have not left the house in it yet, though).&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you again for all your awesome insights on the dress. It's given me a few good ideas. I'll post separately on that, maybe tomorrow if not later today.&nbsp;</p> <p>xoxoxo </p>
