And I don't mind the longer hem on the topper per se, but this hem hits at a less-than-optimal spot on your leg.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1854692 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 15:13:59 +0000 karen13 1854692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What approprio said. They both look great, but I was trying to figure out why I prefer 1 and I think it is the white pattern breaking things up and echoing your lovely fair skin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1854603 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 00:37:40 +0000 Kari 1854603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a statement necklace. These looks were for try-on only; not actually styled/worn out. I need a bit more light (jewelry, a scarf) or softness (hair) near my face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1854547 Fri, 20 Oct 2017 19:32:05 +0000 Dianna 1854547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both looks are great Kari. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1854527 Fri, 20 Oct 2017 17:26:51 +0000 minimalist 1854527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the sleek cold-shoulder look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1854462 Fri, 20 Oct 2017 13:01:38 +0000 approprio 1854462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great silhouette for you. I think #1 works the best because the high-contrast pattern on the dress does wonders for your colouring. The second is also lovely but could do with a bit of a lift. Statement necklace, maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1854459 Fri, 20 Oct 2017 12:55:46 +0000 Bijou 1854459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look gorgeous. I do like #1 the best, but that is because I love the shade of green in that dress, both are wonderful on you and quite a change up from wearing the dress on its own. I also prefer the gilet to be longer than the dress, so to my eye, your gilet is the right length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853865 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 06:08:42 +0000 Jane 1853865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both but I particularly like the cold shoulder look. It is sculptural! Lovely colours as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853864 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 05:55:52 +0000 Jenni NZ 1853864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both, having said that I prefer the first look. Probably because I'm not used to the second look with the cold shoulder but think it could grow on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853840 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 02:03:40 +0000 Deborah 1853840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh Kari I like this.&nbsp; I am so glad you posted because Im thinking of trying a Spring version of this ensemble and I was looking for some insp.&nbsp; I think think this looks great, the gilet is a little longer than the dress which looks right to me.&nbsp; I wouldn't mind seeing a long pendant here too, but just my initial thought.&nbsp; Both dresses seem to work really nicely.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853778 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 20:24:13 +0000 viva 1853778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kind of making me wish I had not consigned my unworn gilet. :(</p> <p>You look great in both iterations, Karie. I really love the gilet with the shoulder-peeking look. Very interesting and appealing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853658 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 12:46:33 +0000 Suz 1853658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, Kari! I like both looks on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853608 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 03:50:05 +0000 Anonymous 1853608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shevia said. Both looks are wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853579 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 01:57:52 +0000 Nadya 1853579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woot! Great looks. I may try this with my Georgia dress to match your greens </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853521 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 21:11:45 +0000 Angie 1853521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer. You nailed all the looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853515 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 21:02:46 +0000 Kari 1853515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome. Thank you! I have a few more dresses to try this with so will try to get pictures later. I appreciate the guidance (and Nadya's suggestions/inspirations on the prior gilet capsule thread.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853432 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 14:42:23 +0000 Lisa 1853432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you nailed the gilet and dress look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853424 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 13:52:04 +0000 Janet 1853424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, Kari! Both versions. </p> <p>I found that I really liked wearing a vest with one of my cold shoulder tops, as you've done with the second dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853419 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 13:38:46 +0000 RobinF 1853419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853352 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 03:26:13 +0000 Kari 1853352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I am not used to this look, but it's kind of similar to a really long cardigan, just without sleeves, yes? I'm accustomed to choosing top layers that are shorter than the dress, so this looks and feels rather unusual.<br /> I'm glad it works with the cold shouldered green dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853348 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 03:13:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1853348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both, too. Nicely done, Kari. The second one has an artful look, with the cold shoulder detail, and the first one is more conventional. They are both winners, and I quite like the longer vest over shorter dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853344 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 02:59:23 +0000 kellygirl 1853344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Shevia said. I especially like it with the solid. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853317 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 01:48:26 +0000 Jaime 1853317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the both! The gilet is great to break up the pattern on the dress, but you have created an interesting shape with the second dress and almost turns it into another dress entirely.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-and-dress#post-1853308 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 01:28:19 +0000 Kari 1853308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, help a newbie out. First time trying a gilet with dress, especially a dress that's shorter than the overlayer. Is this ok? </p>
