And LOVE your butterfly necklace! #3, I prefer the top tucked in with these pants. Untucked there is a lot of volume. Great outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-412276 Sun, 28 Aug 2011 19:08:14 +0000 greenglove 412276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are just glowing in all of your new styles!!! I love everything, agree with Aida about some adjustments in volume and structure. Love the glasses!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-412123 Sun, 28 Aug 2011 03:10:53 +0000 Anonymous 412123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Aida said, especially about wearing the animal print blouse. #3 is my favorite of your outfits, but I'm taking notes on how you wore the KS dress as I have a similar problem with a similar dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-412094 Sun, 28 Aug 2011 02:29:59 +0000 Sara L. 412094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colors you paired with the dress in #1 - the green cardigan and red shoes. Also really like outfit #6. Maybe the sheer printed blouse woulf look better untucked if you added a belt? I'm not a belt expert though.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411993 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 23:06:16 +0000 Kate 411993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, #6 &amp; #7 are killer looks on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411981 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 21:46:37 +0000 Anonymous 411981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're so pretty! I really love #1, #6, and #7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411513 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 21:48:28 +0000 Aida 411513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for wearing the dotty KS dress, it looks so cute! I really like your light makeup, and I don't think that lip color is too bright; it looks lovely and goes really nicely with your glasses! I will have to agree with bj1111 about the butterfly necklace but only because the dress is already fairly whimsical; it would look cute with a more structured/urban outfit as the only element of whimsy. I prefer the second outfit tucked (#3) versus untucked because of the volume, but untucked would look good with slim trousers. I like your jewelry here but personally wouldn't wear the earrings and necklace together (too matchy-matchy for me); I think with this outfit you could do just the earrings and be set. #6 looks fab! Would also look great with a muted-color purse. And I LOVE #7, everything about it! Very nice work stepping out of your comfort zone </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411465 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 20:36:03 +0000 bj1111 411465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>adore 3 and 7. esp 7!!!!</p> <p>also...much as i love whimsical jewelry, if you want more gravitas, consider rethinking the butterfly necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411443 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 19:22:37 +0000 Ginny 411443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great outfits!! green polka dot dress very pretty, glad you jumped out of your comfort zone and wore it, brave you!! I like the shirt tucked myself but think maybe MaryK is right is it a little too big, but nice color on you. #7 is my fave, good job!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411430 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 18:41:06 +0000 Mo 411430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! I can see why you're getting compliments And FWIW the lipstick is not too bright at all. And as I mentioned before, I'm not a big makeup girl either, so if I don't think it's too bright, it's safe to say no one else thinks it is either </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411412 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:56:27 +0000 sarah 411412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TERRIFIC outfits. You look GREAT. I love especially #7, and I'm not even a big shearling vest fan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411406 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:52:31 +0000 Makrame 411406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #3 and #5 (like all of them, actually, but especially those two pictures). To my eye, the shirt looks better tucked. I also noticed your necklace and earrings in #5 even before I finished reading your post and thought "those are really nice with the shirt". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411399 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:46:17 +0000 MsMary 411399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, you're so beautiful! I love the polka-dot dress and love 6, 7, and 8!</p> <p>But I'm sorry to say I think that fab sheer animal print blouse is a little big on tiny you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411388 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:39:56 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 411388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfits! Love 1 and 6 best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411386 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:36:49 +0000 Isis 411386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you got a lot of compliments; fantastic outfits! I love the way you dressed down the dress with the cardi. A cropped white denim jacket would also look great with the dress. I like the untucked top version of 3/4. And I LOVE #7! Smashing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411358 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:28:48 +0000 Sona 411358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>polka dots, pointy heels, animal print and shearling! a lot of fashion forward items and you look great in these looks. 1 and 7 are my absolute faves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-wore-the-ks-polka-dot-dress-to-work-and-other-wiws#post-411356 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:23:51 +0000 goldenpig 411356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Kate Spade polka dot dress that you all really liked on me has just been sitting in my closet because I was afraid it was too fancy for work and there haven't been any other special occasions to wear it to. Well, I finally said "to heck with it, I am just going to wear it!" and worked up the courage to rip off the tags and actually wear it to work. I was debating whether to wear any jewelry or not. I have some fake pearls, but I thought that might be a bit too stuffy of a look so I went with the KS butterfly necklace &amp; earrings instead. I wore my old AT loft green cardigan (opened as bran888 suggested) to dress it down a bit. And my red Clark T-strap pumps and red Fossil tote bag. And I put on some mascara and red lipstick (a little brighter than I thought, but I just grabbed what was available from the grocery--I think it's Cover Girl Outlast) Well, everyone at work loved it! I got so many compliments. I am glad I was able to push myself out of my comfort zone and try a new look. Because what is the point of having something fabulous in your closet if you never wear it?</p> <p>Here are some other WIW's:<br /> 3-5: What I am wearing today to work: sheer animal print shirt from Nordstrom, with Japanese Weekend maternity tank underneath (sorry I haven't gotten around to buying any tanks/camisoles yet), the Theory pants from Nordstrom, my extremely pointy-toe kitten heels from Banana Republic, and a necklace/earring set that I bought on vacation (this is also not my typical style and I was worried it was too cheap/bold looking, but I think it works with the animal print...what do you think--is it too tacky?). I am wearing the shirt tucked, but have a picture of it untucked...which looks better? No belt loops so I am wearing the pants plain.<br /> 6. An old dress that I haven't worn in a long time because the button at the top was missing--I finally fixed it and wore it with the La Canadienne Galaxy boots to work. And a Jack George leather satchel that I haven't used in years. Also got lots of compliments. I find that I am now getting lots of comments/compliments on what I wear and I never used to before...I have to admit I like it!<br /> 7-8. Also worked up the courage to wear the Hinge shearling vest. I have the Hinge blouse underneath, and the Galaxy boots. Also with a pair of earrings that I bought on vacation. This was for my day off when I went to the dentist. Previously I would have just worn a T shirt and jeans and fleece jacket.</p> <p>Thanks for any comments or suggestions! </p>
