The white is gone.&nbsp;</p> <p>*sobbing* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1284353 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 20:21:17 +0000 Suz 1284353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Denise! That is helpful. There is no white left in Canada and I think I have enough blues, but having said that, it's still in my basket as we speak...I think I would probably still need the S since I have no bust to fill it out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1284333 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 19:17:22 +0000 CocoLion 1284333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz I got the M. &nbsp;Here you can see it on. &nbsp;I just guessed at the size, the S sleeve would end at a different point I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1284323 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 18:42:34 +0000 Suz 1284323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - Denise -- I might have to order some of those Zara tops, too. I love the sleeve on them. Thank you for the tip!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1284314 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 18:08:07 +0000 CocoLion 1284314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape and cut of the dress on you Suz. &nbsp;My suggestion was going to be to wear it with higher heels and/or shorten it to be just that much better. &nbsp;But I also like it as modeled. &nbsp;I especially like it in the latter two pictures -- from the side, as well as 'in action" -- I bet it looks great in motion. &nbsp;So all around I vote keep and I agree it's fashion forward. &nbsp;You know you will never get a unanimous vote on a silhouette that's ahead of the curve.</p> <p>Love the sandals, shorts and Zara top. &nbsp;The sleeve reminds me of my pique knit Zara top that I love. &nbsp;I just ordered two more of them due to the Zara summer sale! &nbsp;One replacement for the white one I already own, and a top in blue. &nbsp;I just love this top, but do not think it will hold up well hence the replacement. &nbsp;I am hoping this silhouette will be around a bit longer, with the extreme angle sleeve, as I really like the structural aspect of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1284297 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 17:43:14 +0000 lyn67 1284297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the dress from front view&nbsp;very much, and now that Angie approved, starts to grow on me the side look, either. She's probably(always) quite right! This is a curent trend, so we have to adjust our eyes to it! No brains for the second outfit! That white top and the sandals are awesome, Suz!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1284174 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 14:41:58 +0000 Angie 1284174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY.

I think we have body type similarities and&nbsp;we also have a high tolerance for loose clothes that are not conventionally figure flattering -- plus, we've seen a few styles come and go over our lifetime, so we kind of "get" some of these looks (like a shirtdress, say) that younger members may not ever have experienced and may need time to interpret and assimilate. Hahaha -- the benefits of getting older!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, all, for your comments -- helpful indeed, and I think I am cutting tags, although I might re-order the dress since it is now on sale for $10 less!! I can take back the higher priced one to the store.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1284013 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 06:36:03 +0000 gradfashionista 1284013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both outfits as is--I can see why the suggestion was made for a belt, but I think the lines of the dress are long, clean and flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283945 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 03:54:54 +0000 Marley 1283945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been reading through all of the comments and was getting a little worried until I read Shannon's response - and then Angie's. - cuz I love the shirtdress on you. - I was turning my head all different ways to try to figure out what the "problem" was and I just couldn't see it! Whew! (I've got one very similar to yours - mines from BR and Iove it.). Also, guess what? I have that same Zara blouse. Hahaha! Our styles really do intersect somehow don't they Suz? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283917 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 03:32:42 +0000 MsLuna 1283917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow the Bernia's are finally on sale! I thought about getting them but discovered recently that thick rigid soles are what works best for my arthritic feet, so I'll have to pass - I'll just have to live vicariously through you! :)</p> <p>Aaaand the outfits... I'm especially loving that white top and shorts on you. It's very polished and dressed up yet still perfect for a casual setting. I'm not used to seeing you in something like the chambray dress, but it works. It's looser than what you normally wear! </p> <p>Can't wait to see more warm weather WIW's Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283860 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 02:37:47 +0000 Karie 1283860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a sweet spot for chambray so I really like the dress. At first I thought it was a little long in the back, but I would take Angie's advice on that - as long as your knees are showing, it's all goodie I think it would look fab with or without a belt. The top in the last pic is gorgeous!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283849 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 02:18:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1283849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing fashion show!&nbsp; Love everything.&nbsp; Now, I do have a soft spot for chambray.&nbsp; There is something self-effacing and timeless in that James Dean sort of way about the fabric.</p> <p>Off to look at those sandals........ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283748 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:17:09 +0000 unfrumped 1283748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DRess and sandals are very fab!<br />&nbsp;The Gap shorts look great--I tried them on but they are not quite curvy enough, or something, for me--pooh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283715 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:36:23 +0000 Angie 1283715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Shannon and Lyn.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fixed my typos, Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283706 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:30:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1283706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*high five* Angie cause I love this dress on Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283705 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:29:43 +0000 Lyn D. 1283705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has saved the day again!<br />I have changed my mind about the white shirt top- seeing how you have styled it here Suz- just Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283669 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 21:33:03 +0000 Angie 1283669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooo glad the sandals worked out, Suz. And, I hope you love the dress even more now. I LOVE this type of look. To my eye, it's modern casual elegance.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hah. Fun that the sneaks made a new wardrobe friend too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283664 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 21:28:35 +0000 Suz 1283664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Well, there you go!&nbsp;</p> <p>I tried it with my white sneakers, too, Angie, and quite liked it.&nbsp;</p> <p>The sandals are fabulous. I had my doubts right out of the box, but they have formed to my feet in the hours I have worn them and they are keepers...oddly enough in the larger of my sizes. I guess I may have higher volume feet than I thought. Except for my super narrow heel, that is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283659 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 21:26:22 +0000 Angie 1283659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LOVE the shirtdress outfit.&nbsp;</b>Gorgeous with the sandals too, Suz.&nbsp;Lengths look good to me. The most important part is that your knees are showing. That curved hem adds even more structure.&nbsp;Proportions look great. This is modern dressing.&nbsp;I vote killer.&nbsp;</p> <p>(Also, the shirtdress outfit looks even better in motion).&nbsp;</p> <p>Fabulous shorts outfit too. You are Sizzling Suz. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts/page/2#post-1283656 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 21:22:08 +0000 Suz 1283656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's definitely a "look," isn't it, Shannon. And not to everybody's taste. I'm on the fence, myself. Love the colour, the fabric, and the fact that it buttons up. I think it would be an awesome thing to throw on over top of a bathing suit at the shore this summer on my down east trip. So what if it is wrinkled? I can still head to the grocery store and be decent. Also, my mama has a soft spot for shirt dresses and it might please her to see me in it. So...those are my thoughts so far. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts#post-1283636 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:53:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1283636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm alone in my love for this dress on you Suz. IMHO, if you're going to wear a "sack" or shirt dress, then it should look intentional. And this one does. I do not find it unflattering in the least little bit. I think if you start adding darts and altering it in terms of the shape, then you lose what makes the dress stylish to begin with. The color is lovely on you and it's a beautiful dress for the heat. As for the wrinkling, I would treat it like linen and make peace with the crease, as Angie would say.</p> <p>I'm not trying to talk you into keeping it, I just wanted to reiterate how much I truly and honestly like it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts#post-1283633 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:49:46 +0000 Alassë 1283633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not so sure about the dress...but I love your matchy-matchy shorts/new top/sandals combo!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts#post-1283623 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:26:18 +0000 Suz 1283623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaylene, that is a great dress and a good suggestion! I fear I might be sized out of it, alas, but I could try. This one, of course, is a whole lot cheaper! But I'm getting the sense that it's not going to work, so back it shall go. I do hear what everyone is saying about the wrinkling and the shape. I have a pretty high tolerance for sack, so sometimes I need someone to shake sense into me. :)</p> <p>On team wear with the sandals and shorts/ top...this is a good combo for me, so at least we're striking there!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts#post-1283610 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:13:07 +0000 Jen W 1283610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have fussy feet too and have really enjoyed how supportive those sandals are. I hope they work out well for you. And I LOVE the blouse on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-weather-solutions-bernias-shirtdress-bf-shorts#post-1283609 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 20:11:50 +0000 Eliza 1283609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To start with, the shirt and short combo in number 4&nbsp;are amazing. &nbsp;That top is similar to a Massimo Dutti &nbsp;linen&nbsp;one that I have, so I may be biased, but I find it magical. &nbsp;It is gorgeous on you and the sandals play well with everything.&nbsp;</p> <p>I may like the idea of a shirt dress on you a bit more than the way this one&nbsp;lies. I can't quite tell about proportions and it may be a smaller screen throwing me off. &nbsp;I like the front view best,&nbsp;&nbsp;though feel there could&nbsp;be too much fabric under the arms. &nbsp;Maybe it doesn't feel Suz enough to me somehow. &nbsp;Hope Angie will weigh in as shirt dresses a la 2014 are beyond my experience.&nbsp;</p> <p>As ever Suz, you look fab.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
